QUICK ACTION
IS REQUIRED
CITIZENS MUST GIT Busy on
ENTERTAINMENT OF TIE
JUBILEE CONFERENCE.
NEED MANY HOMES
With Conference only Two Week.
orr Provision Has Been Made
For Entertaining Only About
Half Delegates Expected.

W TN practically tnOfough can
yass of the city having been made
and with only homes enough secured
to provide entertainment for MOI
quite half the delegates who are
known to be coming here TO attend
! the jubilee conference of the Central
Texas conference, Waxahachie is
facing the possibility of quick ac-
| ton If she is to maintain her past
| reputation as city where unbound
ed hospitality is dispensed.
The committees having in charge
| the arrangements for entertaining
| the conference are far from pleased
With the results with the canvass so
| far as il has been made. and it Is
imperative to know at once just how
n,any delegates can be accommodate
eG in the homes OF the city. The
| committee dislikes very much to
rotify any of the delegates that pro-
vision for entertaining them cannot
be made, but this will be the final
alternative unless the citizens OF the
town respond more literally to the
appeals of the canvassers for homes.
At the first meeting of the ar
! rGngements committee II was decided
| to make thorough canvass Of the
city. overlooking no home and giving
no Methodist home preference above
others, and this part of the plan has
| been carried out. Since the net re-
suits We're not satisfactory the com
mittee will now make an emphatic
appeal to Methodists TO do their duty
| in aiding in the entertainment OF
/. the members of Other churches and
those who are members of no church
will bee invited to cooperate with
| the committee.
The committee feels that home
pride in general and church pride in
particular should prompt all TO join
heartily in the matter of providing
entertainment for the men whose
only business here is to discuss and
perfect plans for the more efficient
extension of their Masters Kingdom
on earth These men must make
sacrifices every year to attend the
conference, and when they close up
their years work and start for the
conference they do so knowing not
where they will be sent the next
year. The committee fully appreci-
ates the conditions that exist because
OF the increased cost of living, but
they feel that the citizens generally
should be willing to make some sac
rifices for just few days in order
that these men of God may have a
home in which to stay while they are
about their Masters business
II has been found by a canvass
made BY committee from the Cham
Der of Commerce that no rooms can
be secured at boarding houses and
that only limited number can be
t. taking care of regular guests only
q limited number can be entertained
at the hotel Because OF these con-
ditions it is absolutely necessary
that the homes OF the city be open
Ell to guests, and it is also impera-
tive that the committee have q list
OF all such homes at the earliest
possible moment SO that the assign
ments may be made II is impor-
tsnt that all delegates be notified
III advance OF the home TO which
they have been assigned SO that they
in turn can advise their host as to
their acceptance and probable time
of arrival The committee urges
immediate action along this line. IL
is declared that there is no further |
time for delay
In order that the committee may |
know what the situation is a special |
meeting OF the board of stewards |
has been called for this evening at |
Z o'clock at the church. Every mem /
mer of the board is requested to be |
present All the cheirmen and their
helpers are requested TO attend this
meeting and be ready TO make REL
port as 10 just what they have done
@nd whet they expect to do. 1t is
very important that the executive I
committee have this Information in
order that it may be guided in flu
ture proceedings /
