 The people of Mexico are essentially agricultural but they have been de prive of the land. Probably less than per cent of the families in Mexico own their homes. One of the first acts of the Spanish conqucror was to dis tribute the arabic lands of the people among hls lieutenUnts and for church establishments Some small commu- mites in the remote sections or such as occupied less desirable land were left undislurbed But as a whole the na- ton was made homeless and has so continued to this day, This Is and will be the cause of revolutions in Mexico until the question Is settled

the new church, and others not hold

united with them in forming new
organization, making the number who
were taken in at the time the church
was organized about twenty.
This number was increased from
time to time, and the work of estab-
fishing the church on working basis
began. Rev. F. NJ. FISHERMAN, who
was at that time conference evangelist,
held a meeting in the fall of the first
year, and through this effort the
membership was considerably aug
mented.
At the conference held in the fall of
1907, Rev. G. K. Huduson was ap-
pointed the first regular pastor, and
served for two years, increasing its
membership and the congregation
and in many ways making the work so
well begun stronger and more in

as the First church had begun the
enterprise, it could not abandon its
child.
1t became very evident that the
school could not continue indefinitely
in it's present quarters, and just what
to do was problem. At first, it was
thought that new church would
have to be built, in which to house
the school, but it was question
whether the necessary means could be
secured. The people of the First
church had obligations of their own
to meet, and did not feel able to as
sumo the necessary amount to erect
building, not only for the school, but
also for the purpose of holding other
religious services. 1t was during the

was decided to purchase the proper

closing of the year 1906, or the fore
part of the year 1907, that the church
erection board of the conference pur-
chased the property, and the school
was moved from it's quarters in Park

HELP ALL NEEDY
Topeka Charity to Be Placed
on Systematic Basis.
Confidential Exchange Plans
for Winter Work.

With the object of perfecting char
table work in Topeka so that by
Thanksgiving day every family in the
city in need of help can be reached,
a call has been sent out from the Of
flee of the confidential exchange for
a meeting of representa- tives of every
charitable association in the city and
individuals or members of clubs that
are interested in the work.
The primary object of the meeting
will be the placing of charitable work
on such a basis that various associa-
tions will not conflict with each other
in their work. A survey of all the
work done by the societies will be
made and a uniform policy for han
ding charitable cases adopted. Incl
dentally plans for Thanksgiving day
and Christmas distributions will be
discussed.
The n1ovement is the natural result
of the work which the confidential ex-
change has been doing ever since it
was opened a year ago The need for
a clearing house for charitable soci-
cites had long been felt. Until the
exchange was opened there was no
central office through which various
associations could work and, conSe-
quently, there was practically no CO.
operation. While many families were
sorely IN need Of assistance others
were being helped by a number of
persons or organizations. And fire.
quently persons being assisted by
cha ritable institutions would work

Mucn of this was eliminated i'm
mediately after the exchange was or
ganized by the public welfare commit
tee of the Commercial club of which
A. A. GODDARD is chairman. Through
the efforts of Miss Mabel Adams, sec
rotary, practically every agency in the
city that is doing charitable work is
now cooperating through the ex-
change. More than cooperation be-
tween the regular agencies is desired,
however. Tt is the atm of the ex-
change to educate every person in the
city who is solicited for aid or who
sees a case where help is needed to
report to the office.

C%ontaqious Abortion.

Contagious abortion is one Of the
worst diseases that can get into a
herd. 1t is even worse than tubercu-
losis, says the Kansas Farmer. When
a COW aborts a good veterinarian
should be called at once. There are
remedies that are said to be effective,
but prevention must be relied upon to
keep it from spreading. Too often
when q case occurs in a herd the owner
Is tempted to conceal 1t, sometimes
even selling the affected COW to a
neighbor, thus spreading the disease
Over a wider area. Affected cows are
often shipped to the central stockyards
and are reshipped to the country TO in
nocent purchasers. In many instances
where this disease has gained a foot
hold it has been necessary for the man
to go out of the cattle business for a
year or two and start afresh. No
chances should be taken with an abort
ing COW. Every case should be treated
as a Ease of infectious abortion.
