SUNDAY SCHOOL CAMPAIGN.
Statewide Campaign to be Held
March IS to April 8.

The Iowa State Sunday School
Association in cooperation with
all denominations, has arranged to
get every man, woman, boy and
girl, not now in any Sunday School
In Iowa, to enlist in this great or
ganization. Every member of every
Sunday School in Iowa has the priv
ilege of helping in this noble work
OF bringing the bible and the folks
together, in other words to make
good the Iowa slogan Ito carry the
open bible by the hand of the train
ed teacher to every boy and every
girl and every man and every wo-
man in Iowa., before Easter Sun
day.
Preceding, and on March IS,
which is "Get-Ready Sunday, it will
be wise to get rid of all the old rub
bish in your Sunday School room,
clean up, dust up, and put up decora-
lions, pictures bought or borrowed,
do anything to make your Sunday
School rooms more attractive. Clas-
ses should be provided with teachers,
ready to receive all ages. Let us get
ready for the company which will
surely come, and come to stay If
Sunday School teachers, workers and
scholars give the kind of invitation
that should be given to every man,
woman. boy, and girl, not now at
tending any Sunday School
Ifyou are in S. S. yourself, then
you are the one who should invite

your school will be present If with
in reach of the school and those far
away will write letters which may
be read in the school, but you must
ask them to do so. One hundred per
cent attendance should be the goal
for March 25.
April LIST, is Every Member Bring
One, Day.. Teachers and pupils
should make definite plans at least
two weeks in advance, so that this
day may not be April Fools Day, for
any one who will come to your Sun
day School. Every member from the
Primary to the Adult Department
should be impressed with the fact,
that each one is expected to bring a
prospective new S. S. pupil on that
day.
This is not to be for the sake of
counting noses, but in order to in
crease the schools sphere of useful
ness in the community.
Easter Sunday, April s, is For
ward Step Day., when every chris
tian should take some forward step
in definite christian service, and ev-
eryone not christian may have an
opportunity of taking that greatest
of all steps, of enlisting under the
banner of the King of Kings.
The purpose of this campaign is to
center the attention of Iowa upon
the Sunday School as a means OF
reaching and teaching all the people
and winning them to Jesus Christ,
to the end that the rising generation
may be trained in worship and SER
vice so that it may be truly christian
Winneshiek County has less than
1000 members in all her Sunday
Schools. Let us all plan, pray and
pull together to see what Winnie
shiek County can do in this great In
gathering and Enlisting Campaign.

the place it deserves,

Auto Registrations Far Behind This
Year.

Registrations in the state auto de-
partment show but $4,000 out OF
2OS,O00 cars have renewed their Ii
censes for 1917. This leaves $4,000
for which license fees must be paid
by April /, if the owners want to es-
cape the penalty for delay. This
means that licenses must be paid at
the rate of 5000 a day for one
month. The penalty during April is
10 per cent of the fee and . per
cent additional for each month there
after.

Alfred G. Allen, former congressman

1t is close race between George
