Facts reported by a recent survey of Ohio as to the condition of the church in rural distriets afford opportunity for interesting comparisons. According to the report, one out of every nine country churches in Ohio has died within recent years; only one-third of the existing number are growing, while the other two-thirds have ceased to grow, and are stagnant if not actually dying. At first, the figures would seem to support the conelysion that the country people are turning away from religion., This is borne out by some further analysis of the survey's statements, and yet it is not fully justified. Conditions of life in the country have under- gone great change within a very few years, re- sponsive to modern methods. Automobiles and good roads make it easy for the country folks to attend church services in a city, and in Ohlo, more thap any state in the union, cities are close fogether, and within easy access of the country folks. Maybe the sheep missing from the country fold will be found within the city sanctusry. If this is not true, another reason must be looked for. If the church is losing its influence over the country life of our people, it must be accounted for on grounds for which the chureh is responsible. The remedy suggested by the survey's report is that the church become a greater factor in the affairs of the people. It should be made a com- munity center, wherefrom matters of general soclal concern should be directed. Increased that will hold the attention be the part of the church in THE Watch the City Budget. ’ At this time heads of departments of the city government are making up their estimates for the cost of gunning the city during the com- ing year, and 4t is pretty certain that all of them are pressing very close to the limit fixed by law. This tendency on part of the managers of a rap- ldly growing eity is natural, while it is equally natural that the taxpayers expect the inereases in cost will be held to the lowest possible figure. Between the two views lies the mean that will very likely be reached when the budget is com- pleted, if good judgment i{s used in its final make-up. When Omaha expanded by the addition of South Omaha and Dundee to its corporate limits it increased its responsibilities, and to the full extent of the valuation. Under normal condi- tions the growth of the city brought with it an annual inerease in cost of conducting its activi- ties. In the expansion the area to be governed was increased by nearly 30 per cent, and the population by fully 20 per cent. This necessi- tates the extension of every activity of city gov- ernment to a corresponding degree, and neces- sarily means the additional funds to meet the cost. But the cost should not be disproportion- ately advanced, and for this reason estimates should be carefully scrutinized, not only by those in authority, but by those who are interested as taxpayqre. The city commissioners can well afford to invite scrutiny and criticlsm of the appropria- tions they propose to make for the next year. Not “Pork,” but Business. While Nebraska's delegation in congress has not as yet spoken on the tople, it will very likely eventually line up with the members from Mis- sourl, who are ardently championing the cause of Missouri river improvement. Speaker Clark apd Senator Reed have publicly gone on record as opposed to the Deakyne report that condemns all projects for the expenditure of money on the river, and this will probably take them along to the point of opposing the McAdoo division of the rivers and harbors appropriations that ex- cludes the Missouri river above Kansas City. The principal point raised by Speaker Clark is that all public money expended west of the Alleghan- fes 18 not “pork,” but is mostly for good pur- poses. He defends the improvements that have been made.in the west, and insists that more be made, Hastern opposition to western projects is generally based on a misunderstanding, and the case of the proposed river improvement will doubtless be effectively presented at the present congres! Gasoline Melons and Others. Discounting by 50 per cent the prosperity conceded by speculative interests to industries turning out war supplies, a bumper crop of “melons” is as good as harvested. The cer- tainty of a julcy feast for shareholders in the early days of the New Year pushes into the limelight a large number of new captains of in- dustry, who won promotion as easily as though they had fallen heir to the money. In the glow of momentary fame they are as amateurs beside the veterans of the melon fleld. For in regu- larity of crops and efficlency of reach the up- start captains involuntarily salute as the vot— erans of the oil industry march by. During the first half of the year vendors of gasoline, not to mention other ofl products, ob- talned a normal amount of nourishment from low prices. They are not partial to-a lean dietary, In the last five months the belt has been cast aside and fatness taken on at an amazing rate. The advance {n the price of gas- oline ranges from 2 cents per gallon in St. Paul to 5 cents in Omaha, 6 cents throughout New England, 7 cents in New York and New Jersey and 9 cents in Pittsburgh and Dall Tex. Price lists for middle November show a general average advance of 5 cents:a gallon.over June figures. The consumption of gasoline in this country last year amounted to 13,000,000 bar- rels, or about 400,000,000 gallons. Multiplied by the price advance, the ultimate consumer can visualize the extra crop of melons tagged for the cutting. To heighten the pleasure of auto owners, while contributing the extra money the oil men need, just reverse the melon picture. There is much more juice than the melons hold. During November the stock of the Standard Oil group increased $148,000,000 in market value and scored a 60-point gain since the first of the year. In fact, every square inch of the gasoline glant bas taken on its proportion of fat as merrily as consumer digs up at the pump. Eaty Money. y money" conveys a deeper significance at the present time than the common acceptance of the term implies. Money i3 easy because of an unusual abundance and somewhat restricted demand. Grain-exporting states show notable gains in bank deposits and a more equal distri- bution of the increased wealth, and are able, for the first time in years, to finance the erop move- ment. If borrowing becomes necessary, money can be had on unusually favorable term New York banks are congested with deposits, largely due to plling up war credits, Many banks have doubled their deposits in & year and have ap- | proximately an excess of a billion dollars seek- ing investment in short-time securities, To this condition is due the rare experience of money salesmen combing the country for high class short-time borrowers and offering terms far below the Bankers' union se Musio in the Public Schools. The Bee's music editor makes a suggestion that is worthy of serious consideration by the school authorities. It is that high school stu- | dents be given credit for musie study pursued outside the school room. A plan to this end has been adopted by the Lincoln schools, and In other cities, and is found to work well. Rea- sons for the study of music are too obvious to re- quire statement, as are the reasons for the work being done under a special teacher of the pupll's own selection. Music might readily be substi- tuted for one of the elective studies now listed | Minahan, the following officers were elected: in the high school curriculum, and the student be given an opportunity and encouragement in its pursuit. Work along the line of music study is belng done at a disadvantage by the high school students now, but its recoguition by the authorities would place it on a footing worthy of its fmportance. OMAHA SUNDAY BEE: DECEMBER Vo, By VIOTOR ROKEWATER. ITH the removal of the Maul, or as it was pre- viously called, the old Jacobs house, to make way for another moving picture establishment on Douglas street, that thoroughfare will be cleared of residences west of Sixteenth up to Nineteenth, I Itved for nearly twenty years on the block Jist acroes from the Jacobs house, the last remaining reminder of the old neighborhood, which used to include the homes of many of the best known people in Omaha. The topography of Douglas street in this stretch of thres blocks embraced in Its time some Interesting landmarks. On the northwest corner of Sixteenth ani Douglas was located Donaghue, the florist, with his hothouses right there In what 18 now one of the very busiest spots in the city. West of the Donaghue hot- houses was the old German Catholic church, at first a frame bullding, later supplanted by a.brick edifice, and attached to it a parochial school, well conducted and numerously attended. Across the street from the hothouses, on the southwest corner of Sixteenth and Douglas, was a wooden cottage, whose occupant, as I remember, was James G. Carpenter, for, many years ward assessor, whose place made way for the beau- tiful stone front Young Men's Christian assoclation building that was torn down when the Brandels building was erected. West of this was a two-story frame house, occupied by Allan Root, until it, too, had to yleld to the march of progress typified by a group of three-story brick dwellings put up by Guy C. Barton, fn one of which he himselt lived. Adjotn- ing on the west came a similar buflding erected by A. R Dufrane, while at the southeast corner, at Seven- teenth street, was ths Horbach place, a roomy, squars brick structure, with a square cupola on top. Douglas street in the block between Seventeenth and Bighteenth streets has experienced similar trans- formations. On the north side the corner was the site of & wooden dwelling occupled by the Sutphens, one of the ploneer familles of the city, and after- ward by the family of Mr. Wells, baggage agent at the transfer in Council Bluffs, and still later Ly Dr. Paul Grossman. There was another small house on the Jacobs lot with a succession of tenants, and west of that the home of Marsh Kennard, supple- mented afterward by a small cottage alongside of it built for his daughter after she married young Dr. John Peabody, At the Eighteenth street corner stood & three-story frame house over a high basement, where the W. A. Bharps lived, and then others, and still later the D. T. Mount family. On our side of that block we had the Pundts on the corner to the east of us In a house counted the finest in Omaha, asone-story brick which the family had previously occupled on the same spot having been torn down. West of us there had been several small cottages, in which were the Raapkes, Lejets, and the McCheanes, and our own houre had once belonged to A. B, Huber- man, though practically rebullt whem my father bought it. The whole block facing north is now sur mounted with one big elght-story theater and office bullding which surely one who lived there in thos» days never imagined In wildest dreams. The other Douglah street block from Bighteenth to Nineteenth has been bereft of residences for some time and will be wholly covered with business struc- tures when the only now remaining vacant spase is utilised for the already planned ne wMasonic Temple. On the north side of the street were never more than two houses, the Pighteenth street corner comprising the spacious grounds of O. F. Davls, the leading real estate man of early Omaha, and adjoining him on tho west those of A. J. Hanscom, one of the very earllest sottlers and donor of the beautiful park that bears his name. On the south side at the Eighteenth street corner was the residence of George E. Pritchett, who had married one of Mr. Hanscom's daughters, and ‘west of that a two-story brick veneer house, occupied by the P. H. Sharps. The other corner at Nine- teenth held a two-story frame dwelling, In which A. Crulkshank, the principal dry goods merchant, lived, the place later passing to N. B. Falconer, who was also the successor to the Cruikshank dry goods busi- ness, of which today the Kilpatrick store is the lineal descendant. The Douglas street west of Nineteenth, strange to say, looks today almost the same as it did a quarter of a century ago, except that the strest has been graded and most of the houses lowered, but the march of trade has not yet crossed the line. It is safe to say, however, that they will not be long ua- molested, and that the transformation there, when it comes, will be as complete as in the space to the east down to Sixteenth. Twice Told Tales Inconsiderate of the Baby. The Rev. Alfred Noon, patriarch of the Sons of Temperance, was talking in Boston about the war. “Russia gave up her vodka,” he sald, “and France &ave up her Absinthe, but when they began to talk’ bout &ngland glving up her beer—and English beer is almost as strong as vodka and absinthe mixed to- gether—the English people in their indignation wrecked the government, and a coalition had to be formed. “ “Beer uber alles,’ say the English. They remind me of the stevedore who looked upset. “ ‘You look upset, George,' sald a friend. the matter with you? “ ‘Matter enough!' the stevedore growled. ‘“The baby's just went and set himself afire, and blamed it the old woman didn’'t put him out him out with my groler of beer! And me dead broke, too!' "—New York Times. ‘What's He Knew. A Scottish mihlster was once busy catechizing ois young parishioners before the congregation, when he put the usual first question to & girl whose father ket a public house: “What Is your name?" No reply. The question having been repeated, the girl replied “Nane o' your fun, sir; yo ken my name weel enough, D'ye mo' say when ye come tae oor hoose at nicht, ‘Betty, bring me some toddy?

Cleveland Plain Dealer: Probably the most cautious man in the world is the one who was converted at a Michigan revival. He is reported as saying that he was “willing to do anything the Lord required, provided it was honorable."

Its extensive survey, made in Ohio only, confirms what has long been surmised regarding most of our states. About 10 per cent of our country churches have been abandoned, and more than half of the remainder are decreasing in membership, and even are dying.

This does not mean that war has multiplied readers of the Im- perishable hook. For generations the Bible has been an assured and secure “best seller.” TIts sales amount to 40,000 coples a day, In the average. In the course of the nineteenth century, 300,000- 00 coples, coraplete and partial, were 80ld. Among mere novels, a total sale of 25,000 coples is considered very good. It took “Ben Hur" twenty odd years to get beyond the million mark, and “Uncle Tom's Cabin” appears only to have doubled, in fits long career, the mark made by General Wallace's book. In spite of war, with fts disasters, disillu- slonments and shifting of whole popula- tions, the Bible retains first place on the selling lists. The “boom" news means only that for the present, publishers in other lands being handicapped by war conditions, American printers and bind- ers reap the commercial advantage of turnishing largely the world's supply of the book.
