BISHOP ADVOCATES CHURCH ADVERTISING

The Rt. Rev. James Wise.

Bishop James Wise of the Episcopal diocese of Kansas is the leading advocate of advertising in his church. Bishop Wise has announced emphatically that the press should be a great medium for the message of Christianity and that churches should advertise their services as intelligently and persistently as a merchant advertises his wares. The bishop was a member of the press committee at the triennial general convention of the church in Detroit add since then has been tourIng the middle West speaking In the Interest of the Episcopal church’s na-tion-wide campaign. To carry out his Ideas, Bishop Wise early inaugurated church advertising throughout his diocese, and as a result was able to. Inform the communicants concerning the progress of the church’s nation-wide campaign when It was proposed to launch one big movement to provide men, women and funds for the expansion and extension of all the Episcopal church’s activities, especially missions, religious education and social service.

PLAN BIG COMMUNITY HOUSE

A plan for a community house to cost with its equipment nearly SIOO,000 tn connection with the work of the Western Theological seminary, is one of the chief details of the budget approved for the Chicago diocese in connection with the nation-wide campaign of the Episcopal church. The seminary Is known throughout the United States for the number and value of clergymen it sends out annually. The new community house will be of interest, not only to the social workers in the great slum districts of Chicago, but to every community in the country in that it will give the candidates for Holy Orders .much practical insight and experience Into this phase of the great yvork for the church for which they are studying.

Over 99 Per Cent Growth.

An Interesting sidelight on the na-tion-wide campaign of the Episcopal church is contained In the budget of the Chicago diocese just completed. In explaining the purposes to which the fund of $502,475 a year sought there for the next three years. Is to be put. It is pointed out that less than 1 per cent of this amount is to be used for debts “and this upon conditions which require a fourfold reciprocity on the •art of the beneficiaries.”

TURNED TO COMMERCIAL USE

Historic Mansion In Mexico C.ty Remodeled and Made Into Typical American Drug Store.

The conversion of thp "House of Tiles” tn the City of Mexico into a typical American drug store marks the passing of one of the most palatial and unique structures fever erected tn that city of Interesting buildings. Many persons tn the United States remember the house as the “Jockey dub." the most exclusive and aristocratic place of Its kind tn the republic, but for the past few years it has stood on*e prominent downtown corner, a bleak, decrepit structure, whose shiny aud gaudy exterior of tile gave evidence of its former glory. Soon ft will open for business as a drug store. The date when the building’s foundations were laid is lost In obscurity, but it is thought that it was started about 1596. Later it came into the possession of Don Louis de Rivero, a man of varied career, who was responsible for its exterior coat of tiles. These latter are of blue, yellow and white, Moorish In design, and were made by artisans brought from Talavera. Spain, by the Dominican friars in the sixteenth century. They were modeled In a special ceramic factory at Puebla, about 75 miles distant. and the completion of, this decoration was the occasion for a public celebration. The family of Don Luis de Rivero, who later became the count of Orizaba. remained in possession of the house until the time of the ill-fated Emperor Maximilian. Its last occupant was a sister of the then Count de Orizaba, upon whom the emperor conferred the title of marquesa de Ciria. Later the structure was taken over by the Jockey club and converted into a sumptuous club house. Stories of fabulous sums won and lost at lts K gaming tables persist to this day. Stirring revolutionary times caused its abandonment, and for several years the building was vacant until the present lessees secured It for a period of twenty years. Indicative perhaps of an intention by the government to restore it later Is the fact that before renovation started photographs were taken of all interesting portions of the building, including the huge earved door.

Freakish Costumes.

In the reign of Henry VIII of England the sleeve was generally a separate article of dress, and in Stubbes’ time sleeves hung down to the skirts, “trayllng on the ground and cast over the shoulders like a cow’s tayle.” Vlollet-le-Duc gave cuffs which hung down 14 Inches longer than the hand, thus proving that the wearer never worked. In the time of? James I sometimes three pairs of gloves were worn, one over another. A curious custom arose about 1794 of hat-wearing within doors. The Padnung young women put metal collars around their necks when they were young children till they numbered between 20 and 30 and the necks of tire wearers were stretched out in the most grotesque and uncomfortable fashion. African belles wear great copper rings on their limbs, which get so hot in the sun that an attendant has to carry water with which occasionally to cool them down.

Dressed Beef.

Some soldiers at camp spied a cow in a nearby field and after capturing her with the intention of having a drink of milk on the owner they discovered to their disgust that she was dry. A disappointed doughboy leveled his gun at her, saying: “She’d look better to me as dressed beef.” “Give you $5 if you turn the trick,” said another. “It’s a go,” said the first one. "I’ll turn her into dressed beef before morning and claim that $5." None of us thought he meant it, but in the morning he claimed the money, saying the cow was now dressed beef. We had to be shown, so were taken to tiie field, and there, sure enough, the cow was dressed. She was careering about the field in a complete outfit of the kitchen police.—Exchange.

Avenues of Communication.

Still a new means of communication has been devised. No longer is man to Jbe dependent-on the &lr for the rapid transmission of messages; for, a new invention-Mnodeled afloat a barge in San Diego hay, California—has made possible the sending of messages through air and water. And. appropriately enough, the test of proof came when the United States Navy department sent a message from Annapolis, Maryland, to the British Admiralty, telling, in this manner, of the arrival of the R-34 in America. Bold adventurer had conquered the air, indeed, but. not long before another group, less spectacular, harnessed the sea and land to their own particular requirements.

Keep Children in School.

“Children should stay in school as long as possible because education means better jobs," the federal children’s bureau urges. “Boys and girls who go to work at the end of grammar school rarely get good jobs. The work thev find to do is usually unskilled; it offers little training or chance for advancement. When they are older they find they are still untrained for sirlfed work that offers a future. Education means higher wages. Many hoys and girls when they leave find work that offers a high wage for a beginner. But these wages seldom grow because .the work requires no training. A position with a future and steadily Increasing wages requires school trah-tfHg:”' - 1

HAVE REAL CHARM

Old South Carolina Churches Well Worth Visit St Andrew’s, Built In 1702, Once Nstable Aristocratic House of Worship—Goose Creek Edifice Also Interesting.

The charm to some places Is that the changes to them come slowly, and this Is the atmosphere that envelopes Charleston, S. 0., a town of quaint old streets, musty churches, lovely old trees, and hand-wrought Iron doors and gates that first opened to admit subjects of a British king. One leaves all this behind and rides out over 12 miles of the roughest of country roads under trees decorated with long ghostlike strands of Spanish moss to enter a church whose doors awing open but once a year. It is St. Andrew’s church, In St. Andrew’s par* ish, and it opens once annually because this was the condition stipulated in the original crown grant. St. Andrew’s church was built-in 1702. For a century or more it was the regular Sunday meeting place of rich and aristocratic Southerners who lived on adjoining and It is not difficult on a warm spring day to stand under the moss-hung trees near the church and visualize the past. The men and women dressed in gay silks and satins for church-going In those days, and they rode to service In grand style with a pair of handsome horses drawing a commodious- carriage, with a negro slave on the box, and the negroes riding or walking behind. St Andrew’s is not the only church that is opened but once a year. Goose Creek church, some ten miles away, and built in 1706, was also built under a crown grant with the same provision. With the growth of the city, known then as “Charleston by the Sea,” and with better roads, the attendance at the small parish churches diminished. When the last Of these plantations was reduced in grandeur and wealth by the Civil war, and the slaves were scattered all over the globe, those in whom was embodied the spirit of the past had gone to their fathers. A love of tradition, a reverence for the past that makes Charleston charming, sees to it that the order of the royal grant Is obeyed, and a rusty key is turned in a rusty lock once a year; in St. Andrew’s on Easter Sunday, and in Goose Creek the Sunday. after. And Charleston fills up its gasoline tanks on these days anil rides out; and those who haven’t automobiles or other personal means of conveyance, go out by special train, for so far has the present dared to Intrude on the past that special excursions are run by the railroad for these occasions.

Woman As a Bull Fighter.

One would have, thought that to enter into combat with a bull demanded more courage than any member of the gentler sex possesses. Bbt even this dangerous calling has had Its female follower, London Tit-Bits states. “Johanna Maestrick was the name of the lady In question. At an early age she was taken to see a bull fight in Portugal. Her feminine susceptibilities, far from revolting at the spectacle, were aroused to a keen desire and determination to emulate the prowess of the toreador. A teacher of the art was so struck with her keenness, physique, and beauty that he offered to become her instructor and to train her as a torera. She made her- first appearance in the arena at Oporto. The trial proved that her agility and skill were equal to her courage, for she quickly laid out two ferocious bulls and rode off in triumph amid thunders of applause.

To Keep Suffrage Mementoes.

A portrait of Susan B. Anthony, together with the table upon which was written the call for the Seneca Falls convention of 1848—the first active movement in America to give women the vote—has been presented to the Natural History museum, in Washington, by the National American Woman Suffrage association. The portrait was painted by Sarah J. Eddy, and for the last two- years -it has hung in the headquarters of the national association. It represents Miss Anthony not as an inflexible leader of,a great cause, but as a smiling, gray-halred woman, upon whose knee children are laying roses. The table was presented to Miss Anthony by Elizabeth Cady Stanton, one of the convenors of the first convention,.

Finnish Agriculture.

In spite of its northern position and its poor soil, agriculture Is still the chief occupation of Finland, even though the cultivated area covers only 8.5 per cent of the land. The co-oper-ative movement, the introduction and use of modern agricultural machinery ’ and improved methods of cultivation have greatly helped In the development, but there is ample opportunity • for further development. Cattle raising and dairying also have grown considerably the last decades. The lumber Industry ranks second in importance, with about 61 per cent of the area of the country forest lands.

Recreation, as Well as Relaxation, Is Necessary to the Happiness of All.

We need breathing spells in life’s bigger issues just as we need them in out routine work. No one may work continuously Without some period of relaxation, and in the same way no one may bear up under heavy responsibilities unless he is able at times to forget them, observes the Charleston News and Courier. That is why recreation as well as relaxation is necessary to the happiness of us all. There is something within us, something that calls to us, as it were, in no uncertain tones to lay down our problems occasionally and try to divert oar minds from them. If we are forced to live with those big crushing ties, that weigh us down at every turn that are never far away from us, tha keep step with us in our daily walk we shall miss much of the better brighter part of life. Every one hat the right to live his own life in th< way which he thinks will be best foi him, and it is a hard blow of fat* which robs him of that right. Yet thh is done more often in life than wt realize, and one of the worst of oui disappointments is to be forced to sur render the privilege of controlling oui own lives as far as it is in our humar power to do so. Because certain re sponsibilities are forced upon us w< are often compelled to abandon th< road which stretches so invitingly ahead and to seek another path rougluand hard to walk upon, full o? obstacles and barren of those thing! that perhaps have meant the very win< of life to us.

M’ADOO SAYS FARM LOAN ACT HELPS FARMERS

Former Secretary of the Treasury Describes in Kansas Crty Court How Law Operates. PART OF FINANCIAL SYSTEM Sustains Constitutionality of Law Which Does for Agriculture What National Banks and Federal Reserve Act Do for Commerce and Industry.

POINTS FROM M’ADOO'S KANSAS CITY ARGUMENT.

Successful farming is basic to the general welfare. Conditions which denied to the farmer ample funds for operation and adequate credit facilities for the purchase of land and improvements were of grave national concern. Therefore, a rural credits system was devised as a part of the financial system of the nation in order that the great industry of agriculture, the source of the nation’s food supply, might htfve an equal chance with other lines <rf business and industry. Federal land banks were created to provide credit and money for the borrowers of small means —plenty of money at low rates of interest and on long-time credit These banks were formed by the government subscribing most of the capital stock. Joint stock land banks were created to provide credit and ■money for farmer borrowers of larger means —in order that the large borrowers might not take all the money the farm land banks had to lend and thus leave the small borrower without funds. These banks are privately owned, but are operated under government supervision and are subject to all the essential restrictions placed upon the federal land banks. To make farm loan bonds attractive to investors, and to make it possible for these bonds to compete with municipal bonds, the government made them exempt from .all federal, state and local taxes. Without tax exemption, the whole farm loan system would have failed absolutely.

How the federal farm loan act came Into existence as the result of a longstanding and nation-wide need was told In the United States court at Kansas City by former Secretary of the Treasury William G. McAdoo. The right and duty of the federal government to aid and encourage agriculture was told by former Justice Charles E. Hughes and former Attorney General of the United States George W. Wickersham. Interest Rates Reduced. As brought out by Mr. McAdoo, the farm loan act was passed by congress to provide ample funds for agricultural development and agricultural operations. Mr. McAdoo, who was secretary of the treasury at the time this law was passed, said that it was the intent of congress to provide: 1. Plenty of money for the farmers. 2. Low rates of interest. 8. Long and convenient terms of credit. Mr. McAdoo showed how this act already had reduced rates of Interest in many and extensive sections of the United States and had so stabilized interest that rates were now almost uniform throughout the United States. He showed how the federal land banks were created in order that the farmer of small means might have credit and borrpw. money at as low rates and on as easy terms as the soanij of larger means. Protects Small Borrower. He told also how the joint stock] land banks were created to protect thej farmer of small means in his right to low rates and easy terms. He said that without the joint stock land banks there was grave danger that the heavy borrowers would absorb all the money which the federal land banks could assemble and thus leave the small borrower in much the same condition as before. The farm loan act also has operated to make more generous everywhere the terms on which farm mortgage, loans are made. The- amortization! plan makes It possible for the farmer] to borrow the money he needs and to pay it back in small annual or semlannual installments as he Is able to i take it out of the soil. Tax Exemption Necessary. “Now, of the farmer was to get the real benefits of this act,” said Mr. McAdoo, "if he was to secure plenty of. ;• money and at a low rate, it was neces- ■ fury that the quality and character of I the securities issued by these land banks should appeal so strongly to capital, that they could sell on a parity with municipal bonds or other tax-ex-empt securities. Therefore tax ex-J emptibn was granted to the bends of these banks. Without tax exemption the entire pbmfana.”
