CONFERENCE YEAR OF LOCAL
METHODIST CHURCH EXPIRES

Last nights 700 o'clock service
finished the conference year of the
Daytona Beach Methodist Episcopal
church. A good sized congregation
was present in spite of outdoor damp
ness, and everyone present appreci-
ated the feeling of Mr.. Treadwell
when at the close of his fine sermon
he gave few simple words of fare
well, saying that he might never be
privileged to speak to them again
from the pulpit.
Every Sunday since Rev. Treadwell
has preached here, he has observed
the beautiful custom of shaking hands
with each member of the congrega-
ton as they passed out the door
homeward. AS last request before
leaving for the st. Johns conference,
Tuesday, he asked all to come up to
the rostrum and shake hands before
going home last night
Every member of the church ear
nestly hopes for Mr.. Treadwelrs re-
turn, and wish him to rest assured
that he has completely won their
hearts during his first year here.
Last nights service was also
marked by an exceptionally well sung
anthem by the young peoples choir,
My Soul Panteth for Thee, o. God "

RUTH LAW AWAkES
ALL LATE SLEEPERS

The buzzing engine of Ruth Law S
aeroplane awakes all late sleepers
along the beach front on the pleas

that early morning is an ideal time of

in the air, and for that reason early
risers only can witness her stunts.
The tide is also low in the morning

RED CROSS WOULD
UNITE RELIEF WORK
Miss Mabel Boardman Urges Centrali-

Miss Mabel Boardman has advocated
that the $50 agencies now sending relief
to the warning nations should be cen
tralized under the American National
Red Cross. saying that this would not
only help the relief work itself. but would
aid in building up the Red Cross organi-
zation for q greater usefulness to this
country In time OF disaster. in peace
or in time of war.
She said that despite the relief work
done by the many organizations and the
fact that the wealth of this nation Is
now about $50. oO,oOo, since the out
break of the war. only 100000 or about
one-twentieth OF one per cent. has been
contributed for relief,
Miss Boardrnan saidr The work of the
American Red Cross give foreign ma
tions a confidence in the United States
which should prove a strong undercur-
