"RAISE.TWO-M0RE CAM
PAIGN SUCCESSFUL

Five thousand one hundred and five
California farmers pledged themselves
10 keep 21,O99 more pigs in 1918 as
the result of a campaign carried on
by farm bureaus to persuade every
members to raise two more pigs than
he would otherwise have done. The
purpose of the campaign was to coun-
teract the situation brought about by
the high price of grain, which was
resulting in the wholesale slaughter
of brood sows and young pigs. Four
teen days after the campaign started
the danger which threatened the hog
industry of the Pacific coast was
averted. In addition, the agitation
and the publicity gained has increased
the interest of both farmers and fruit
growers in hog raising and has caused
large breeders of hogs to keep up
their stock.

METHODISTS PROVIDE
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
For Reconstruction Work in France
Cincinnati Bishop Is to ID
rect Activities.

Yonkers, N Y, November THE
Board of Foreign Missions of the
Methodist Episcopal Church in annual
session here today, appropriated $5,-
100000 for postwar reconstruction
work.
Bishop w. f. Anderson, of Cincin-
natl, and DR.. B. M. Triple, President
of the American Methodist College at
Rome, were designated to go overseas
and supervise the European end of the
work.
A large part of the fund, 1t was an
nounced, will be used in the establish
ment of Methodist Colleges of scholar
ships for students who were called in
to the army and in aiding Methodist
families whose bread winners have
been killed or wounded.
"The men who fought in this war"
declared Bishop T. S. Henderson, out
lining the plans for this work, "will
run the country for the next rs years
Their needs and those of their families
deserve a pre-eminent place on our
program"
DR.. Triple, in discussing the plans
for Europe, declared it will take 49,
OO0,O00,0OO and 100 years to restore
France to pre- war conditions. He
called on the church to establish or
phanages, relief depots and model
farms in the devastated areas.
america has the right of way in
France" he said. "They are looking
to us for leadership in the period af-
ter the war. Besides sending spiritual
help, the Methodist Episcopal Church
hopes to send over hundreds of engin-
eering and agricultural college gradu-
ates who can help in the work of re-
construction"
The $5,OOO,OO0 appropriation, twas
said, was part of the general centen-
airy movement whereby the Methodist
Episcopal Church expects to celebrate
the hundreth year of its missionary
activity next year by the expenditure
of $SO,OOO,OOO on missions.
Plans for the centenary celebration
to be held at Columbus, Ohio, next
June, are being discussed at the con-
vention, together with plans for the
campaign the board is conducting to
finance the foreign mission work.
DR.. George NJ. Fowler, Treasurer,
reported today that the past year
has been the best in the history of
the board from financial standpoint,
total receipts being $2,3SO,347. The
combined contributions to Methodism
for foreign mission work now total
$3,748,606, he added.

WAR MUSIC CHIEF
 CALL AT COUNTERS

The war has been great stimulus to music, as well as the activities es- sential to supporting it. Many songs and marches have been tried by the public. but the two records mentioned below are particularly pleasing, ac cording to MT. Fordan of the Rede- well Husic Co.
 Charles Hart and the shannon Four sing it effectively on a new Victor Record. It is the Plattsburg march ing song and was dedicated to the ''17th Co., 18th P. T. R." Its popu larity has been given impetus through the musical comedy, "Toot! Toot!" in which it is sung.
 With humor in the words and mu- sic in the melody, and the crisp call of bugles and drums it is just bound | to go
 Redolent of summer and laden with sentiment are two songs on a Victor Record by Lambert Murphy. which he sings with warmth and ordor.

PACKARD OFFERS S5,000 AWARDS
 FUR GREATEST HAULING POWERS

Is to give substantial and active as- sistance to the Council of National De- fense. It recently appealed to the country urging more extensive and more efficient use of motor trucks to help existing transportation problems. We believe this test will result in car rying full loads, careful routing and proper maintenance of trucks, all inn portant factors in efficiency and the saving of freight cars for government use.
 "Our second aim is to introduce more widely to owners and drivers the n.. tiOnal standard truck cost system form. adopted and advocated for general use by the truck owners conference, Inc. of Chicago. It has been proved that important economies to owners result from keeping such records; and also that drivers frequently better their wages by putting down in black and white the savings they effect for their employers.
 Entry blanks, the rules and the stan dard cost forms are in the hands of Packard dealers, where they may be | obtained at any time. But I urge every owner and driver to get them at once ! figure out what they are going to do to operate more efficiently to get one each of the $1,000 and $500 awards. | Every Packard truck, no matter 1 how old, is invited to enter" says A. C.. | Dulmage of McArthur Brothers who l sell Packard trucks in Arizona The | trucks will be divided into three classes | to put the different capacities on an equitable basis. The one and one half and two-ton trucks will be in class A: three and four ton trucks in class B, and the five and siX-ton trucks in class C. There will be no competition be- tween classes.
 The award to the winning owners in each class will be S1,000 The first awards to the most competent driver in each class will be $500. the second $1O0 and the third $75. The awards will be made by a board of judges who are in no way connected with the Packard organization Men who are nationally known as transportation ex- perts will be asked to pass on the rec ords and from them determine the
 winners.
 "We should all remember" conclud ed MT Dulmage, that it is our patri-
 otic duty to do all we can to aid our
 country. If for no other reason, every
 owner should enter his Packard in
 this test. And for the same reason
 every driver should do his utmost to
 win. Efficiency in truck operation
 means the saving of thousands of freight cars-and we need them now to back up our boys in France"
