SOUTHERN METHODISTS
ASKED FOR $4,000, 900

Memphis, Tenn, March 20.-Pre-
senting surveys showing the needs of
the missions, both in this country and
abroad, Methodist missionary work
ers today appealed to leaders of the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, in
session here, to plan for the particle
patton of the southern church in a
joint missionary campaign, to pledge
an even greater amount than that fix
ed by the general committee planning
the campaign as the amount to be
asked of the southern branch of the
denomination. The committee report
made public today, proposed that
minimum of S18,0O0,0OO be raised in
the southern states. A committee
was named at today's session to fix
the amount to be pledged, and will re-
port to the conference at its final ses-
sion tomorrow.
Plans of the missionary campaign,
which will be inaugurated next wear
as feature of the centennial celebra-
ton of the founding of the Methodist
mission board and extend over a pe-
Rod of five years, propose the raising
OF fund of at least $lOO,OOO,OOO
OF which the Northern Methodist
church has already agreed to con-
tribute.
Ioday's speakers included DR.. w.
b. Beauchamp, of Nashville, Tenn:
DIR. Belle Bennett, of the Methodist
mission in China; DR.. E. H. Raw
lings, of the Southern Methodist mis-
sion board, and several others attach
ed to missions in foreign fields. A
letter was read at the afternoon ses-

FORCES ARE READY
FOR BIG BONDDRIV
SIXTH DISTRICT ORGANIZED FOR
THIRD LIBERTY LOAN
CAMPAIGN.
FIELD FORCE IS NOW BUSY
Educational Work Awakens People
To Dangers Facing
Nation

Atlanta. - With the Third Liberty
Loan campaign approaching, every eff
fort is being exerted by the sixth Fed
eral Reserve District Executive Com
mlttee to complete the organization Of
every county. For two months a force
OF forty field representatives has been
paving the way for the loan with a
great educational campaign. Commit
tees have been re-organized and ev-
erything is in readiness for the drive
which is expected to begin early in
April.
The reports from field represen-
tatives on the organization work have
been very encouraging to the execu-
tive committee. 1t is realized, how
ever, that 1t will take the combined ef-
forts OF the bankers, manufacturers,
merchants and farmers to put the
sixth District lover the top" in this
campaign. The minimum allotment
for this district in the second cam
palgn was over-subscribed, but it will
take harder work to make the Third
Liberty Loan a success.
Committees Organized
The central organization will be the
same as in the previous campaign, M.
b. Wellborn, chairman Of the board Of
the Federal Reserve Bank being chair
man. w. G. Wardlaw is chairman of
the executive committee. st. Elmo
Massengale again will direct the pub
llcity campaign, w. J. Rudland, an ex-
2erienced sales manager has been
placed in charge of the field force.
Money Needed
1t has been repeatedly pointed out
by Government officials that the re-
suit of the world conflict depends
very largely upon the success Of the
successive bond issues. The full force
Of America, in resources, men and
money. must be 6urled against the
Hun to crush the military ambitions
OF Germany and make the world safe
from the menace Of Prussian auto
Gratis. This cannot be accomplished
unless the government is given the
use of every dollar needed to furnish
supplies and ammunition for the army
which Is being sent to France.
Money is not taken from circulation
when invested in Liberty Bonds. 1t
is spent right here at home in the
purchase Of supplies and furnishes en-
pioyment to those engaged In work on
government contracts. The expendi-
ture OF these great sums of money has
made this section OF the country pros
porous. The war is responsible for
the high prices farmers are receiving
for their products. The wheels Of the
great industries have been kept busy
and the wage earners are drawing
high salaries.
Whether the next bond issue is a
success will depend upon the effort
Of every individual in the district. The
money cannot be raised without per-
sonal sacrifice. The Government aap-
peals to every individual to invest to
the extent Of his ability.
