the purchase of the residence just south

A new evangelistic idea has been adopted
by the Des Moines conference. Each church
in the conference will be required to pay
an amount equal to 1 per cent of the pas
tors salary for the purposes of evangel-
istic work An evangelistic board has
been created to consist of one minister
from each of the districts to be appointed
by the presiding elder With the funds
thus raised evangelsts will be engaged and
sent to the weak churches where they are
most needed. II is claimed now, the matter
being left entirely to the church, that
the strong churches are able to afford
evangelists and the weak ones most need
ing such are unable 10 afford an evan
gelist. The best evangelists in the de-
nomination will be secured and sent to
these weak churches and the salary paid
from the collections during the revival
and any deficiency made up by the funds
in the hands of the board. If the collec-
balance will go to the board.
The Ministers Wives association elected
Mrs. Martin of Indanola president and
Mrs. C. l. Nye of Des Moines vice presi-
dent.
C. L. Baxter of Des Moines was re-
elected financial agent or the Methodist

COngressman and Governor,
ala lo ha
people Of Iowa will this year for the first
time in the history of the state vote for
congressman and governor at the same
time. Heretofore the governor and some
other state officers have been elected in
the odd numbered years. The congressman
are always elected in the even numbered
years. Because of the change from the an
nual to the biennial elections both are
elected this year for the first time together.
This fact it is believed by politicians is go
ing to contribute somewhat toward har-
mony within the republican party when the
people are fully aware OF the situation.
Heretofore the congressman conducted their
campaign in the even numbered years with
out regard to the governor and state off,
GERS, and the governor conducted his cam
paign in the odd numbered year without re-
gard to the congressman. This cannot be
done now and as both are on the same
ticket there is a tendency TO harmony. 1t
Is considered very dangerous TO start any
movement for scratching the ticket. for
there is no telling where II will end since
both elements are represented on the same
ticket
Automobiles on Increase.
That Iowa is growing richer or that
automobiles are becoming more necessary
