Quested to insert a statement concern
ing warehouse at 0dell. The only
definite information given out by the
main Office at this date is the appoint
ment Of inspectors for the various
warehouses and field. Naturally we
refrain from giving out information
that has not as yet been listed IN the
main office, but we inferred, as did
many others, that the appointment Of
warehouse inspectors carried with II
the duties il has carried IN former
years, therefore we consider that until
management announces policy regard
ing employment Of warehouse en-
pioyes no definite announcement Of
men ami positions can be made.

The Pacific Christian Advocate knew

terests of the DeacOness Hospital and
Old People $ Home. as the right man
in the right place. Rev. MacCaughey
spoke at the Methodist church in Odell
last Sunday evening in the interest of
these institutions and he is certainly an
able champion. He does not seek to
express his sentiments in mild and

creasing facilities of the Deaconess
