CHAMP CHIMES.

Have you noticed the numerous
punches of English sparrows? Did
you ever ask them to sign the food
pledge? They are greatest help the
Kaiser has, and why don't people kill
them? Now is the time while the
snow is on to catch them in great
numbers And wouldn't It be bet
ter to put ammunition into them
and have enough to feed an army?
Also the crows. OF what value are
they to the country? They eat
enough eggs, young turkeys and
chickens, let alone the corn and
other grains. to feed two armies.
Why don't everybody get busy on
these friends and allies of the Kai-
ser?' We may not be able to go and
fight, but why stint ourselves and
feed these buns?
Many a porker put in his last
squeal last week, and everybody that
didn't butcher last week is preparing
for it this week.
The heavy snow and continued
cold weather called a halt on the
corn gathering. Only few of the
bravest have ventured into the fields
since that blizzard.
This cold and snow has been hard
on us, but think how fine it is on the
wheat, strawberries, grass, ETC., and
what a bumper crop it promises for
next season.
Aside from a few cases of minor
complaints among the more elderly
people, there is no sickness in this
part of the county.
The meeting closed at the Meth
odist church Sunday evening. The
continued cold weather cut the at
t ndance short.
There will be Christmas tree at
the Methodist church.

MCMILLAN NOTES.
BY William Hickman.

"The Passing of the Third Floor
Back" by Jerome X. Jerome was
presented in the Mcmillan Auditori-
um on the evening of December 11th.
Richard Mckinney, as Major Tomp-
kins, played we'll the part of a re-
tired army officer. Hall Kerr, as the
Stranger, showed his audience very
effectively qualities personifed in
the Stranger. All of the cast are to
be congratulated upon their acting,
and Miss Faller deserves much
praise for the success of the play.
Mr.. Ewing E. Rich, who, for three
years has been teacher at McMil-
Ian, departed Saturday for Texas
where he will enter the Aviation
Corps. Besides being a teacher, he
was the basketball coach. 1t was
with fearful eyes and sad hearts that
Mcmillan bid him farewell. He was
perhaps the most popular member of
the faculty, and his departure means
a great loss to the school.
Captain Wonneman and his fight
ing Bulldogs met the Centralia
team at Hardin Gym for the first
game of the season on Monday even
ing. The score was 81 to 16 in ia
vor of Mcmillan.
Robert Campbell, former head OF
the English Department of Mcmillan,
passed thru Mexico Tuesday with a
battalion of Medical Corps enroute
"over there" The student body OF
Mcmillan marched to the train and
gave him a warm farewell.
Mcmillan has the matter in hand
of selling Red Cross Stamps in the
city. The following business houses
will also have the stamps on sale:
Abbay & Adams, Malone, Craddock,
Buckner. Nash, Hassen, Ringo Ho-
tel, Worrell, Mexico Clothing Co.,
Purdy. Barth, Davis Shoe Store, E.
A. Lawrence, Kunkel, Mexico Hard
ware G. Furniture Co., Phillips,
Sword. Ricketts, & Emmons, Stein
mans Shoe Store. Graham, Rags
dale's Cash Store.

Time Gard.

Charles Sellers, up near Centralia,
was in to see The Message few days
ago. He says most of the Germans
around Centralia are selling their
farms and moving to Ohio and other
Eastern States. Why they are leav-
ing us he does not understand. But
they are getting good prices for their
land They are good citizens and
most of them came here a few years
ago from Iowa. Mr., Sellers is much
interested, like the rest of US, as to
when the conflict across the seas will
close He thinks that early next
summer there will be one of the
worst fought battles recorded in his
tory and then the awful war will
come to an end the first days of Au-
gust.

LOUIS JACK CLARK.
Is Soon To Go T oFrnncc-Becomes
An Ordained Minister--A Unique
Case.

Louis Jd,k Clark was born and
reared in Mexico, Mo, ana atts"ded
school here. He is the sOh of Ed. w.
Clark and the nephew Of Ms. MaTie
Craig and cousin of J1hn W. Leat-
ty of this city.
Jack Clark has made a remarkable
record since leaving Mexico, cSpcci-
ally since his entrance into the u.
army service. The following article,
taken from The Christian Workers
Magazine, published by the Moody
Institute In Chicago, will enliste The
attention Of all our reader:
Louis Jack Clark Ordained.
A former student OF Moody Bible
Institute, Louis Jack Clark, who left
in April, 1917, before completing
his course, was recently ordained in
the Methodist Episcopal Church un-
der extraordinary circumstances.
Mr.. Clark is a sergeant in the Am
bulance Corps, Division No. 1, which
will probably go to France in the
near future. His commanding of
flcer, Captain George H. Lipshulch,
urged that he obtain orders so as to
render the largest possible service.
Mr.. Clark has had the equivalent
of high school education, but has
had no theological training except
that received at the Moody Bible In
sttute. In the Methodist Episcopal
Church the usual procedure is for
the conference to receive an appli-
cant on trial and after two years of
study ordain him deacon and receive
him into full membership in the
conference. Two years further study
is required before elders orders are
conferred.
Because of the exigencies in Mr..
Clark's case Bishop Thomas Nichol-
son ordained him deacon and elder
the same day and the Northwest In
diana Conference received him into
full membership at once. According
to Bishop Nicholson the case is
unique in Methodism.
Mr.. Clark had the honor of ad-
dressing the conference and as he
left the church wearing his uniform
a demonstration was given in his
honor. DR.. ]. s. Ladd Thomas is the
pastor of Austin NJ. E. Church of
which Mr.. Clark has been a member
