Moines. Efforts are being made by
prominent Methodists and the CONNER
cial club to bring the big conference to
this city. It is possible that Des

cess Of the local Methodists, however,
depends largely upon the decision OF

Other cities in the middle west who
are making strong bid for the confer

The committee will visit both these
cities before making their report.

investigate conditions at various cities
which ask for the conference. They
look over the facilities Of the cities for
