GOLDEN RULE EDITOR SUGGESTS HALLOWEEN CELEBRATION FOR ALL CHIGA.GO. Oct 28 A .' substitute for the ag&old destructive plan of celebrating Halloween is suggested by Prof. William A. McKeever, editor of the Golden Rule, magazine, welfare worker and formerly connected with the University of Kansas In prohibiting pranks of thlr parents and grand-parents, children of today must be given something in their place as a means of observing the festival, he declared. "Divide the city into specified festival zones, ask all ages of the common citizenship to come out and frolic with the boys and girls," suggest Prof. McKeever. "Let all wear masks and funny make-ups, children, parents nnd grand-parents all in line together. Let everybody blow horns, kazoos and other noisy instruments. Let jokes, yells, songs and laughter ring out as much as they will." Prof. McKeever's modernized Halloween plan. "Let certain churches, schools an 3 club centers keep open house for the ynirrhiTg hosts of revelers, giving them a simple hand-out as they pass, and vie with the marching groups ia pulling off a stunt of their own. - Harness Boys' Energy "Thus you may harness the energy -which God has stored in the lives of boys and girls and make it pull a load for happiness and righteousness alike. There is nothing the matter with Young America, When I visit your city on Halloween and find that you are defying the boys with threats of punishment and imprisonment in case they do any deviltry I always sneak -out and join them and try to help them to put it over. MONEY FOR CHURCHES SHOWS BIG INCREASE (From the Chicago Daily News) Outwardly the religious life of the people of the United States is represented by two billion dollars' worth of property and a current yearly expense of administration of about 250 million dollars. Considered from a purely business point of view, the church is one of the Nation's outstanding enterprises. Gceat as are some of America's in dustrial corporations, few can point to such an investment as the churcn. records. The comparison appears all the more striking when It is remembered that the church is primarily a religious and philanthropic organization and is not out for profit. Gifts to the church have Increased more rapidly in the last ten years than in the previous half century. The phenomenal advance in giving indicates a changing attitude toward the material side of church work, which Is highly encouraging to the forty million and more church members and the 220,000 pastors and clerical leaders. In the old days the ice cream social, the "rummage sale" of old clothes, the bazaar, the church supper and kindred money-making devices were regularly listed among the necessary activities for raising the pastor's salary. Faithful housewives worked themselves to the point of exhaustion in preparing appetizing chicken 6upper3 which the community conscientiously devoured at twenty-five cents a head and thereafter considered it had done its duty by the church. Meantime, when the collection plate was passed at services the church members would drop their pennies into the receptacle and lustily sing "Jesus Paid It All." A new interpretation of the meaning of giving, with a new consciousness of the spiritual value of the action, has come in the last decade. The spirit of the giver is emphasized as much as the amount of the gift. Thus giving has taken on a new aspect and gifts have Increased very greatly. The change lias been accomplished by the adoption of the yearly budgetary system, with an annual canvass and frequent oversubscriptions, instead of periodic harangues and a hopelessly chronic inadequacy of funds. PEOPLE OF NORMANDY WORRIED BY. WATERS The people of Normandy are much concerned about the steady silting up cf the Bay of St. Michel, which threatens to impair the piotur?squeness of the famous Mont St. Michel, now linked to the mainland only by an artificial cause-vay. Formerly the Mont, which In the course of the centuries has been by turns a Druidical shrine, a Benedictine abbey and a state prison, and which, since its restoration by VlolIet-le-Duc. is jealously preserved as an historical monument, was as inaccessible at high tide, except by boat, as its Cornish rourterpart, St. Michael's Mount, still is But the causeway enabled a light railway to run to the very foot of the Mont, and this causeway is stated by exnerts to be one cf the great causes of the silting np, which, It is predicted. eventually will make the Mont just part of the ordinary coastline.

A Queen Who Mingles Freely With Her Subjects

The beautiful Queen of Rumania, shown above, is a cousin of the King of England. She was recently crowned Queen of Transylvania. The picture

shows her surrounded by children of The Farm and By William R. THE MILITANT FARMER In a recent issue of the Breeder's Gazette we find a timely article on farm psychology and prevailing conditions among farmers, that is worth reporting. It makes a contrasting picture as to the farm poor and the city poor, which shows the essential difference between poverty in the tenements and out In the open, where there are cows and chickens and gardens. Says the editor: "Unlike the city poor the farm poor rarely ever really suffer for lack cf the essential creature comforts necessary to physical existence. The "farm poor" may be in a bad way financially, but they seldom ask for charity, and, as a rule, never become public charges. With the help of the hen, the cow, the garden and the sow, they get by in some way, through even the worst periods of depression. The "farm poor" we have always with us just as there are always poverty stricken families in and about the great Indus trial centers of population. But just now there is throughout agricultural America a vast body of farmers not to be classed with the element above mentioned, who are complaining so bitterly at the existing economic situation that the impression has spread far and wide that farmers as a clas are In acute distress, virtually bankrupt, and therefore practically void of buying power. The militant farmer is everywhere in evidence, not because he is actually down and out, but because he does not propose to be altogether submerged if the inequalities he is called upon to faoe can be ironed out by the application of proper remedial measures, and the introduction of practical reforms, not only in the matter of marketing and distribution, but in the fundamental problems of production as we'll. The militant tanner accuses labor of holding him up both coming and going. In his freight bills be recognizes the heavy hand of organized labor. In the price of everything he has to buy, he sees again the great part played by the labor bill in the produotion costs of all his machinery and other needed merchandise. Alone with this be hears constant ly the complaint of the laboring man at the high cost of food, and all this naturally does not sit well on the farmer's stomach. It makes him sick. He contrasts his own long hours and uncertain reward with the short hours and the sure generous pay envelope received very week-end by those who work in shops, mines, and fac tories or in the building trades, and! it makes him "sora" Not Down and Out The idea that farmers as a class are down and out has been spread over the country to the detriment of the millions of "agriculturists who are getting by in excellent shape. True', even these men could have made more money under morg favorable commodity price condition, but they are far from suffering for any of the essentials of life and comfort. Farmers are by no means all broke and helpless toilers, although they have been badly hit bv circumstances beyond their individual control; some worse tha nothers. depending on lo cation ar.d chief crop or product The man who "diversifies," and who does the kind of general farmins his location and climate warrants. Is in no danger of going either cold or hunsTT. That the farmer will again "come into his own." is now indicated more clearlv from day-to-day.

Orderly Marketing The War Finance! corporation was revived to help agriculture and live stock raising. Included in its loans are $110,000,000 to co-operative mar keting associations, made with the view of helping producers to holt! supplies instead of rushing them to market to the demoralization of prices. Not all of this money has actually pased to the co-operators, but has been authorize! to finance this year's crops. As a matter of fact the bulbi of the money is going thru interior banks .many of which are personally taking care of the homH demand and this too, entirely out side of help from the corporation. In its comment on co-operation the Chicago Tribune recently said: "We think the growth of . co-operation among farmers is one of the most important developments of our economic progress.

SUN - TELEGRAM, RICHMOND,

The Floors Must Be Fixed" Just at this time of the year new coverings for the floors must be put down. Perhaps the floors must be refinlshed. If you knew enough about it, you could do most of it yourself. The department of agriculture has prepared a booklet telling what woods are suitable for floors, how to finish, stain and care for floors, all about rugs, carpets, and other coverings, and how to take care of them. If your floors or carpets need any attention this year, this booklet will be a great help. It is entirely free.

THE RICHMOND PALLADIUM I enclose herewith two cents In stamps for return postage on a free copy of the booklet on Floors and Floor Coverings. I Name ' Street City . State through lack of credit resources which would save them from untimely and precipitate marketing have been an injustice to our most important produc ing class, and co-operation when car ried, on upon sound business princi ples, by permitting producers to carry crops between seasons, will stabilize markets and at the same time assure to the producer a fairer share of profits. As Mr. Meyer says, "when an agricultural product has been produced, either the consumer must, buy it and carry it until it is actually needed, or the dealer who supplies the consumer must do so, or the jobber must stand between the producer and the manufacturer who ultimately takes it for distribution to the consumer, or going back still farther, the producer himself must find ways and means of carrying his product and marketing it gradually. The Very Best Method The last named seems to us the best method, economically and socially, and deserves to be developed as fully as possible. American agriculture has been passing through an ordeal the last few years andjnust carry a heavy loss for some time. But it has had opportunity to learn some valuable lessons and we trust will take advantage of them. If farmers have impressed upon them the need for a better marketing system and are developing practical co-operative methods, the heavy losses of recent seasons will turn into a permanent profit. If the finance corporation did no more than assist the es tablishment of this reform and the nec essary system of longer credits which will support it, the corporation will have more than justified itself and achieved a constructive service to the vhole country.

MANY FREAK CURES

FOR WHOOPING COUGH (From the Detroit News.) Various beliefs have existed in the past in reference to whooping cough. In Norfolk. Eng.. a spider was tied up In a piece of muslin and pinned over the mantel piece as a remedy for the disease. In Donegal a beetle was placed in a bottle. In Suffolk a child was dipped, head downward, in a hola dug in a meadow for that purpose. In northern Lincolnshire fried mice were employed; in Yorkshire, owl broth; in other parts of England a child was riddn upon a bear; in Scotland any thing that might be suggested by ai man riding upon a pie-bald horse was curative. A Turkish upholsterer during a delirium from typhus fever drank from a pail of pickled cabbage and recovered, whereupon the Turkish doctors declared that cabbage juice was a remedy for the di5ease. Later on they had to modify it by saying that cabbage juice helped a man to recover, provided that a man was an upholsterer.
