April 3. 1917

April 3, 1917
Rev. VIM. E. Hudson left for
Staunton this morning after as
sisting the men of the Mcdowell
Presbyterian church to carry on
the 'tE. M. c." mentioned in the
Recorder last week. Saturday
afternoon the officers of this and
the outpost congregation met with
the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Moffett, aud
Mr.. Hudson to make the plans nee
essarv for tn" whir wind" Campaign
carried on Monday, the following
men being appointed canvassers:
A. A. Alexander, G. A. Wilfong,
E. A. McNulty, Norman Arm
strong, Joseph Siron, Lark"
Simmons, George Robson, Jerry
Helms and Rev. VIM. E. Hudson.
The aim being to 60 out by twos
and see every one possible that
day (tho' a good deal of enthousi-
astic work had already begun, par
particularly at Headwaters, }
Every one was looking for canvas
sers," and the reception accorded
them was most cordial with the
exception of one or two who had
not caught the vision. Previous
to the campaign, the members of
the mems organized Bible Class
had made arrangements with Mrs.
Bradshaw, at the Mansion House"
to serve a sumptuous supper at
eight o'clock at the close of the,
days campaign to which the
most of the congregation
were invited. Promptly, twenty
two men, including the canvassers,
arrived at the hotel and around
that banquet table gathered the
most enthusiastic set of laymen
ever assembled in this village. E.
A. McNulty acted as POSTMASTER,
and every man responded when
called upon. We are sorry to be
unable to give details of this meet
ing, but one thing worthy of note,
the people had responded to the
call to self-support. While not
asked to do it just now, everybody
feels that in short time the money
from this H. M. Committee used
here will be sent to needy places
in our mountain. We would
not fail to mention the
generosity of Mrs. Bradshaw,
throwing open. her house, nor
the young ladies of the organized
Bible Glass, who served in the din
ing room, nor would we fail to ex-
press gratitude for the generous re-
Spouse to the call of "The Kings
Business ..-.
BY this campaign the help from
the Home Mission Committee has
received a little over one half,
which gladdens the heart of our
faithful pastor as we'll as each mem

Navy Wants Eight
Men from Highland

President Wilson, through the
Navy Department, has issued a
call for SO 500 recruits to make up
the complement of men immediate
ly needed for the Navy.
To obtain this number of recruits
Virginia has been called on to fur
nish at the lowest 800 men by
April 20. There are 100 counties
in the State and if each county
furnishes eightmen Virginia's quota
will thus be supplied.
1t is not sufficient, however, that
merely 800 men apply; the physical
examination for enlistmentis some
what strict and many applicants
for the Navy are rejected on &C
count of one defect or another. 1t
is therefore, essential that consider
ably more than 800 applicants be
obtained in Virginia. Applicants
for the Navy between the ages of
II and 80 years as possible.

No one can recall a previous year
when the proceedings and returns
from an annual session of the Bal
timore Conference have been as
meager and belated as in the case
of the one just held at Roanoke.
The newspapers coming to Monte
rey gave virtually none of the pro-
ceedings from day to day. One Of
the Wednesday morning Staunton
papers published the appointments
for it's home district-Rockin CHAM
and another city exchange had
all except Moore6eld district in an
issue of the same date. So High
land is in the dark as to any changes
that may have taken place. A
telephone message from a Staun-
ton visitor is to the effect that Mr..
Thrasher will return, but this has
not been confirmed by any word
from him to any member of his
official board.
Later: just before going to
press, we ran across Roanoke
paper giving the appointments for
Moorefeld district. There are no
changes in Highland pastors, and
G. w. Richardson is the new pre-
siding elder.

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET
Features Of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks

New York, May 21-Industrials,
notably the steel and iron stocks, rul-
ed today's active but relatively I'M
changed market. Inquiry for those is
sues seemed to be prompted by addi-
tional trade advices Of a highly favor
able tenor; extensive short covering
and growing public participation were
accelerating factors.
United States Steel occupied its Gus
tomary commanding position and con-
tributed almost 33 per cent. to the to-
tai of $4,000. At its extreme prices
to 115 IA the stock came within four
points of it's record, made in the lat
ter part Of 1918.
Related stocks like Lackawanna.
Cruciable, Midvale and Superior Steels
and Republic Iron and Colorado Fuel
took rank among the other strong and
active issues at gains of 2 to 1-2
points. Among the outstanding equip
ments and munitions Bethlehem Steel
new stock rose 8 3-S. the old shares
to 1877 and General Electric, Ameri-
can Car, American Can. American
Wooden and Central Leather to 3
points.
Metals, oils and sugars were In less
demand. but finished at irregular ad-
vances. Shippings were variable, the
strength of Atlanta, Gulf and west
Indies being more marked because OF
the comparative heaviness OF marines.
Visible improvement was manifested
by utilities. all the local fractions raj
lying ? 1-2 to 81 points from re-
cent levels. while Ohio Gas, foremost
stock of its class. made a gross gain
of 3-s points at 13s 3-s.
Rails were internationally prominent,
but failed to register more than mod
crate gains, despite cheerful crop news
and reports of increased western ton
mage.
Automobile stocks and SUBSIDIARIES
were conspicuous for their consistent
heaviness, some of that group seifing
under recent low levels. but making
