KANSAS LOSING CHURCHES
Five Hundred Houses of Worship
, Abandoned in Small Places in tho
Last Five Years
It IhA rhnnPfl nt lhn lnnf faw vnm pnti.
, fanue, rural churchcH In Knnsas may soon
,bs no more. They tiro rapidly disappearing,
i to give place to community content nnd
Rjirrer village churches with better txiulp-
l Bent, whlcli are more ucmocratlc, more In-
flutntlal, and less denominational. Accord
ing to the Rev Fred n. Hates, who has
been InvostlcatlnB these problems for tho
Kansas Sunday School Association, about
(00 rural and small town churches havo
been abandoned In Kansas in (he last flvq
rears
"At least one-half of these churches
ihould have beon abandoned," aald Mr.
Gates. "As a matter of fact, a largo pro-
i portion of these never should have been,
' built. A lack of support and a failure to
nuike tho rural church the most powerful
Influence In the community havo driven
out the other half. A large percentage of
those I have on my list as abandoned were
In small tonns or communities whera there
were churches already established, and only
enough persons In the community to sup-
port one church properly
"Not long ago I visited a small town with
three churches and a pool hall, and at a
general meeting of tho members of the
thrM churches I told them that what the
totrn needed most was another pool hall.
The criticism of my remark was unusually
sharp and pointed, but they cooled off when
1 told the church members that there really
should be another pool hall, as the people
Of the town required three churches in
which to worship, and t certainly could not
be expected that those who could not wor
th'p together could play pool together.
There Is Just one tjlg, powerful church In
that town now, nnd no pool hall."
Prof, K. I Holton, In charge of the
rtiral extension department of the Kansas
Agricultural College, has often advocated
ids abandonment of rural and small town
thurchts, which are so email that they could
not properly support a minister nnd the
church. These churches were capablo of
accomplishing much good years ago when
horse-drawn vehicles limited the area of
communication, but the motorcar, higher
education and the rural mait route havo
brought about treat changes In the rural
districts everywhere.
There are nearly 90,000 motorcars In
Kansas. More than sixty per cent are
owned by farmers, and this has greatly
itended the social activities of the rural
Population, The great Increase In , the
number of young folk attending the schools
fad colleges has brought a desire for bet
fir sermons and more social life, and the
"wtorcar makes this possible, -

GERMANS TOLD HOW
TO LIVE ON UTILE
Imperial War Food Bureau Lec
turer Tries to Convinco tho
Hungry in Gormnny That
They're Better OlT
CHILDREN UNDERFED
In connection with recent reports from
dermany to tho effect that tha restrictions
In tha consumption of food duo to war
conditions have had a tneficlat Influence
upon tho health of many Inhabitants of the
Fatherland, especially those who were In
clined to overeat before the war began.
comes a story telling how tha Imperial War-
Food Bureau Is aendlng Prof. Ismar Boas,
one of Germany's authorities on food values,
through the empire lecturing before women's
associations on "H6w One Can Almoit Mve
on Nothing" The Berliner Vorwaerta ro
mnrki that, whllo the learned professor vir
tually proves that a perron can llvo on nl
most, nothing, It seriously doubts It such a
life Is worth living.
In ono of his recent lecture, ns reported
In the German newspapers nnd summarized
by tho Ixmdon press, Doctor lions declared
that hla main objeot really was to dispel
the provnlllng apprehension thntthere wn
nny danger of the national health being Im
paired by undernutrition He contended
that ono could speak of undernutrition only
when tho pre-war standard was accepted aa
nonnal. As a matter of fact, tho pre
war stnmlnrd was overnutrltlon, and If In
a vast number of cases war food had re
sulted In diminishing girth nnd weight, these
results vvcro really blessings In dlsgulso
which should not bo taken tragically.
QUIT FOOD IDOLATIIY
It was only permitted to speak of under
nutrition when loss of weight and circumfer
ence was accompanied by loss of phystcnl
nnd mental powers, nnd, for so far. no de
terioration In theso respects was noticeable
Professor Iloas's groat authority on the abil
ity to exist on noxt to nothing Is a Danish
food expert nnmed Illndhede, who for sev
eral years supported himself and his family
on potatoes, bread and butler, and fruit, at u
cost of a trltlo over 0 ccntB a day per per
son, llerr Boas neks tho Germans to follow
the example of tho Dane and "throw to tho
winds their Idolatrous venorntlon for crtaln
.foods which they falsely regard ns rich In
albumen."
"Just think," said Doctor Bons, "what we
might be able to do were we to get rid of
this food Idolatry. It would take some time
to nccustom ourselves to living on almost
nothing, but when wo havo nrrlved at that
point we shall havo obtained a striking vic
tory over ourselves, nnd from an iconomlo
point of view tho gain will bo Inimonsa."
Tho women of tho association he was
nddrcsslnc audibly expressed disapproval
of this, but the professor had como pro
vided with figures nnd showed them on the
blackboard that the 2800 calories which the
human body daily required might bo found
In 2.917 grams of potatoes, ns well ns In
2.857 grams of beef, or In thirty-five eggs.
And tho price of tho "potatoes was only S
cents, -whereas tho eggs cost 2.G0 nnd the
beef $4. Beans vvero fine, he said You
could got your 2S00 calories In 823 grnms of
beans, nnd tho cost, even at war prices, wai
only 35 cents.
DISORDER. ENDS MEETING
One woman In tho audience told the lec
turer that, according to hlB theory, tho less
tha nation nto the healthier tho people
would become. Ilcrr Bons did not think
that this was a. fair deduction If carried
to extremes, n remark which tho women
created with laughter.
The meeting Is said to have ended In
some disorder, and llerr Bons, as he loft
tho platform, had some caustic remarks
addressed to him about his food theories
In the course of an Interview with a rep
resentative of tho local German pres, Dr.
Frank D. Gorham, who has Just returned
from a nlno months' stuy In Garmany as a
member of the American Physicians' Ex
pedition, which Is doing good work In sev
eral hospitals In tho Fatherland, after as
serting that the food problem In Germany
had been solved In a satisfactory manner,
la quoted as saying:
"But In all this (tho food regulation)
there Is no danger for tho Germany of to
dny. It Is tho coming generation that will
havo to suffer from the consequences of
the shortage of food Tho young persons
nre undernourished. TIiIh doesn't mean that
tho children have to go hungry. They have
enough to satisfy their appetites. But their
food Is not mndo up in a way calculated to
satisfy the demands of a gTowIng body
Many of the substitutes, tho artificial food
stuffs, fulfill their purposo very well for the
moment, but the body Is not so strong as
It would be under normal conditions."
Doctor Gorham confirmed the reports
that there was a serious shortage of doctors

BADGER CHIPS STONE AX
Old Wisconsin Pioneer Goes Back to
Stone-Ago Ancestors'
If. L. Bkavlem, of Janesvllle, Wis.,
will chip an Indian arrow head or stone ax
for you while you wait Already versed In
the lore of botany, geology and arnlthology,
Mr. Bkavlem turned his attention a few
jears since to tha subject of Wisconsin In
dian archeology. Doubtless his Interest in
the new study was quickened by the fact
that on his farm on Lake ICoshkonong s an
Indian village site which for fifty years has
constituted a fruitful hunting ground for
tha characteristic remains of the departed
race. At any rate, he has developed come
interesting theories, the proof of which he
Ib prepared on occaslqn to demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the most skeptical.
Mr. Skavlem holds that the white man of
today, using- only Stone Age Implements,
can mako the stone axes, arrow heads, and
other characteristic utensils of the Stone
Age period as well as the primitive man
himself could do. Armed only with a piece
of bone he fashions an arrow head Jn two
or three minutes' time, explaining the while
the obstacles which the primitive artisan
had to overcome.
In thirty minutes he fashions a stone ax,
again employing only the toola of the Stone
Age worker. More remarkable than tha
ability to make these things Is the ease and
dispatch with which they are produced.

At times they hae passed throueh long
periods of depression In the prlca of cotton

Inir "Tho sraln crop of the present year wo
1.100,000.000 bushels smaller than tho crop
of the preceding enr Tho total wheat
production of this year Is estlmnted by the
Government at 607 B77.000 bushels, as" com
pared with l.OU.SOH.OOO bushels In 1018, a
decline of 404,000,000, or forty per cent.
Moreover, tho nvcraRS weight of this crop
Is less than that of last year to tho ejetont
of 6 1 pounds per measured bushel, which
It Is estimated makes a.' further reduction of
00.000,000 bushels, giving; us, therefore, n
net crop, measured by pounds, of 547,000,000
bushels, as ngalnst 1,011,000,000 bushels
last j ear."
According to tho publication, the wheat
crop of Canada Is ofnclally estimated at
159.123,000 bushels, as compared with 370,
303.000 bushels In 1916, and owing to the
Inability to thresh this grain promptly, t
causo of tho scarcity of labor, a consldor
nblo part of that may be lost.
"Dcforo tho next grain crop Is produced
tho country, In all probability, will bo
snept nbsolutely baro of wheat nnd com
nnd other grains," the Manufacturers' Itcc
ord sajs. "Wo shall, therefore, go Into
the next crop season under conditions thnt
would guarantee high prices, even If we
coAild bo absolutely sure that tho crop of
1017 would exceed tho unprecedented jlctd
of 1915.
"If, however, through the failure of tho
farmers to sow nnd plant for n very big
ncrengo In grain, or If, by reason of Un
fuornblo weather conditions audi ns wo
had this year, wo should In 1917 havo
nnothor short crop, the country would fnco
Mhot -virtually might bo called a food fnra

tont of bringing prices bnck to normal
conditions for several years to come.
"This situation has a vital relation to tho
nations welfare. All tho denunciation of
high prices of foodstuffs, due to a mis-

who see oply tho cost of living advancing
without appreciating tho phenomenal con.
dltlom compelling this ndvnnco, will bo
without aall In changing the economic
developments which nro responsible fdr
these prices.
'Tho danger Is so serious that every
banker and overy business man ought to
co-operate with tho farmers not only In
encouraging them to produce foodstuffs; but
In aiding them financially wherever it mny
bo needed to mako possible for them to
cultivate grains nnd produce llvo stock'
