TERM MILITARY CAMP DEFINED

The definition of the term "mili-
tary camp" has been enlarged in the
revised order to embrace training
camps for the ordnance and quarter
masters departments and medical Of
ficers throughout the United States,
Hawaii and Porto Rico.
Chairman Fosdick, in making pub
lie the new order, has asked the CO.
operation of liquor dealers and cafe
proprietors in preventing all sales of
liquor to be consumed off the prem
ises. This plan has been adopted in
San Antonio, Texas, and Alexandria,
La, and has resulted in immediate
improvement because it cuts off the
supply of LIQUOR to bootleggers. Many
liquor dealers associations and indi-
vidual license holders have already
put such rule in effect, and Mr.. Fos-
dick states that the government may
make such action compulsory in cer-
tain cities, unless conditions in those
places materially improve.-Of Official

A $s,OOO,OOO CAMPAIGN

The Southern Presbyterian church
is just now engaged in a drive to
raise three million dollars during the
next year for the support of the ben
evolent work of the church. Thoro
preparation has been made by the or
ganization of ministers and laymen
in every synod, Presbytery and local
church in the denomination. Within
the Presbyteries groups of churches
have been put under the supervision
of a minister or a layman, preferably
a layman. 1t is planned that in every
church throughout the assembly,
large and small, during the first three
Sabbaths in the present month this
campaign shall be presented. And on
the third Sabbath an every-member
canvass will be made by previously
appointed committees.
While this canvass is expected to
secure funds for the local work of the
churches also, it will emphasize the
need to raise $3O00,0 900 for benevo-
lences. This will mean approximately
an increase of 80 per cent on the con-
tributions of the churches for this
purpose last year. But this ought not
to be hardship, for when reduced to
weekly basis, it amounts to only a
two-cent postage stamp week for
every member of the church.
In the synod of Florida, Mr.. Chris
topher Matheson of Gainesville, has
been chosen as synod manager, and
Rev. ]. G. Venable of Jacksonville, is
manager for the Presbytery of Su-
wannee. The local church is in group
the oversight of which has been given
to Rev. E. T. Montgomery of McIn-
tosh. Rev. John R. Herndon has been
asked to take the oversight of the
following churches: Dunnellon, Red
dick, Mcintosh, Micanopy and Fair
field. He has presented the subject
to the Dunnellon and Reddich congre-
cations, and is planning to be heard
in the other churches of his group.
For tomorrow the following ap-
pointments have been made: Rev. E..
T. Montgomery will preach at Dun
Mellon; Rev. R. o. Wright at Mica
nopy, and Mr.. Herndon will be in his
own pulpit. Other announcements will
be made from time to time. On next
Friday evening the officers of the
First Presbyterian church will hold a
meeting at the manse, at which time
Mr.. Montgomery will be present and
will address the meeting on the cam
paign.
Mr.. Herndon will speak tomorrow
morning on sour, Southern Presby-
terian Drive" and the public is invit-
ed to hear him. The membership of
the church is especially urged to be
present in order to be informed as to
what is being attempted so as to be
ready to do their part when the time
comes.

overcome the troubles it is heir to.
The foregoing remarks are sug-
gested by the announcement of Lit
ties Shoe Store, that foot specialist
will be at that store on Monday,
March 4th, to demonstrate the Scholl
foot comfort appliances, to examine
feet and give advice without charge.
