SAL LVAT|ON ARMY
DIRECTS APPEAL
TO THE PEOPLE
Expense Budget For Ensuing
Year Submitted By
Capt. Raer

For quite a number of years past
the Salvation Army, because of the
uncertainty as to its income, has been
lsboring under serious disadvantages
and financial impediments which have
Gceatly hindered the progress and
success of it's work.
Whenever it has been given sup
port and encouragement it has always
proved it's merit by accomplishing a
work that many have given up as i'm
possible, namely: making the power
Of the gospel effective in the hearts
and lives of people who have often
been given up &C beyond any moral or
social betterment. Others who have
never taken interest in religious work
have, because of the army's aggres-
sive and persistent efforts amongst
them, learned to love and serve God.
The progress of the present day de-
| mands that the Salvation Army sur
vive these past restraints.
The Salvation Army, having among
its constituents the very poorest in
Mt. Vernon, has never been able to
derive means from these sufficient to
maintain it's work to any extent of its
necessity. 1t therefore of necessity
must turn to it's friends of a better
social standing and appeal for the
means to sustain this poor mans
church" in which the poorest and
most degraded can feel free to pay
their respects to the God to whom
! they owe it, without intimidation or
! embarrassment,
To carry on this work for the year
commencing July /, 1917, and ending
June 80, 1918, the following amounts
are needed, and are to be disbursed in
the following channels:
Rent (hall and house) ......$ 2S0.00
Light and heat ............. $500
institutional fund ...... $500
Celf-denial fund ......... 5000
Relief and Christmas .....,. 10000
furniture, hall equipment and
repairs ............... 10000
administration q workers.. .. 10000
Divisional supervision ..... 1000
liabilities (old debit ...... $1,000
Miscellaneous ......... 5000

Washington, Feb. THE United
States is now well within the dan
ger zone" Of relations with Germany,
but the hope in official circles is that
if no overt act occurs within the next
week force will not be necessary to
protect American shipping.
At present no American ships are
sailing. The diplomatic break has
served the same purpose as an Off
cial warning to Americans against
sea trips into the prescribed zone of
submarine warfare.
After American ships which were
on the high seas when the break
came reach port, the danger of sink
ing either an American vessel or in
juring an American passenger will be
small
The main danger, therefore, wouII
be from the sinking Of a ship of an
other country and the killing of an
American who might be employed on
the ship.
That is the one view of the situa-

again the argument that followed the

full lest country be UndUly Iulled into

Saturday is usually an anxious time
for ministers. To live with them on
this day is not an unmixed blessing,
says the Liverpool Post. They are
fidgety and uneasy, worried over those

which he has never expressed an opin-

EDUCATION OF THE STREETS
Children With Poor Environments
Stand Low in Higher Forms Of In
teIIiuenee, Tests Show.

II is a common belief that the chill
dren of the poorer classes in large cit
les acquire a certain amount of valua-
BILE education by running the streets.
Actual tests usually indicate, however,
says the Journal of Heredity. that such
children stand very low in all the high
er forms of intelligence. and this might
have been suspected from an examina-
ton of the environment in which they
are brought up. Association with old
er people is one of the most important
factors in a child's education; but In
the poorer classes the dwellings are
so small that a child must spend most
Of his waking hours outside. and mo-
where does he come in close contact
with many older persons Of ability.
No matter how much one may ad-
mire the development of modern indus
trial society, he can hardly believe that
It offers a full and rich environ
ment in which q child may unfold"
If a child had inherited ability (and
many Of the children who roam the
streets have not) it could hardly be
called into full play by the stimulus
of a modern city street which, COM
pared with the country, offers little
for a child to do. Much has been said
Of the evils Of child labor, but under
modern city conditions it is conceiva-
BILE that child idleness may sometimes
be equally injurious.

Keep the ice box clean,'" he read
to q companion. 'Why, say, my ice
box is cleaned out every night before

to send out to the delicatessen for

for economy. Take it from me,

Advices from India indicate that
there are 8SO40.OOO acres under wheat
cultivation In that country, compared
with 30.148,000 acres last year, or an
Increase Of about 10 per cent. The
total yield is estimated at 100000

tons reported at this time for last year,
a gain of practically 10 per cent.
These figures are based on the final re-
