SPENCER PASTOR
TAKES UP DUTIES
IN CHARGE SUNDAY

Rev. A. M. Stocking, recently ap-
pointed pastor of the congregation
at Spencer Memorial Methodist
church, succeeding Rev. d. S. An
drewartha, will conduct his first
services at that place tomorrow.
He has chosen as the topic for his
morning discourse, Past, Present
and Future" The evening topic is:
why Did Christ Come to the
World?"
Rev Mr.. Stocking has been prom
inent in the Methodist conference
for many years, having been pas
tor at Aledo, GeneseO, First church,
Moline, Onargo, Peoria and Wat
seka. He has also held professor
ships in Hedding and ChaddOck
colleges and has the degrees of A.
NJ, D. d. and NJ. D. Mr.. Stocking
is a man of family, Mrs. Stocking
being an accomplished musician
and a medical graduate. The cid
est daughter, Sarah, is a graduate
of the State Normal school at Ma
comb and of the Emerson School
of Oratory at Boston and she is
now in charge of the department
of expression in the high school at
Racine, y. Y. The younger daugh-
ter, Marjorie, will be a pupil at the
LongfellOw school.
Rev. Mr.. Stocking has been ac-
lively interested in all public af
fairs where he has been located
and will undoubtedly enter into the
city life of Rock Island with the
safe enthusiasm. He has high
hopes for the future of Spencer
Memorial church and will undoubt-
eddy be big factor in its further
upbuilding.

the sister gave up her clubs and so
cial events, laid aside her golf
sticks, and took charge of the farm.
She attended a tractor demonstra-
ton, studied the operation of each,
and then purchased one best adapt
ed for the needs of her land. She
recently harvested 200 acres of
wheat, and, while waiting for the
corn to mature, is putting in her
time, blowing for the next years
crop of wheat. She is a close stu
dent of scientific farming, the tract
she operates ranks as a model and
the yield of the various crops
equals that of the best in the
county.
Girls Help Harvest Crop.
Another remarkable illustration
of the versatility and patriotism of
Illinois women, was given by four
residents of Peoria. w. J. Nelson,
a business man of that city, owns
wheat farm near there With the
grain ripe and ready to be harvest
ed, he found that all of his men had
decided to enlist Mentioning his
predicament to his office force,

Bloomington, IIl-Women of this
state are operating tractors as sue
cessfully as they do passenger cars.
They have found, to their surprise,
that the tractors are as easily han
died as an automobile. Recruits
from the ranks of the Women's Mo-
tor corps, now to be found in all
of the leading cities of Illinois,
have FASTENED to the relief of the
agriculturists whenever they have
learned of a shortage in farm labor,
or need of aid in harvesting the
crops. Now that fall blowing has
commenced for winter wheat, it is
a familiar sight to see a woman pi-
lOting a tractor, dragging two or
three plows, while narrowing and
discing has no terrors for the aver
age woman volunteer who seeks to
release a man for the army.
Perhaps the most notable illus
tratiOn of this in central Illinois,
was given by Miss Virginia Lewis,
a society girl of Chatham, who, with
her two brothers. own a farm of
500 acres near that city. The broth
ers were called to the colors and

Mrs. Ernest Quayie gave a reading
which was enjoyed Twenty-seven

close of the meeting a dainty re-
past was served

The ranks of the military drill
under the auspices of the Patriotic
league are now closed to begin
ners. Thursday night at Long
View park there were 100 girls in
one company under command of
Captain Klove. These after review
ing the formations already learned,
went for a tramp down Eighteenth
avenue. Lieutenant Mielke took
charge of the class of 40 begin
ners that registered last night, and
taught them the preliminary move
ments More enthusiasm is mani
fest in the drill than in any of the
other activities, and that is saying
a good deal, because the girls
have taken up all the various lines
of action with eagerness. Plans
have been completed for a hike for
the drill members a week from
next Sunday morning. Nothing
definite has yet been decided
about uniforms but what they
shall be are still under discussion.
All Patriotic league girls are in
vited to the party to be given
next Tuesday evening at the Ma
sonic temple by the Patriotic
league social dancing class. At 1880
the party will open with a pro-
gram followed by dancing. The
girls are requested if possible to
wear fancy dress costumes rather
than wear either party dresses or
street clothes. Mrs. F. W. Balm
sen, Mrs. Charles Mixter and other
of the war camp board
will chaperone the party. No one
but Patriotic league members and
mothers of the girls will be ad-
mitted.

Girl Harpisf Who Plays for Soldiers
Says Big Guns Make %Cl0riOuS Noise"
She and Miss Grace kernS
First American Girls EUer
Permitted to Attend a
War Conference at
Front in Franco

ming with General Edwards and his
staff in a magnificent old chateau
which had been turned into divi-
sional headquarters. Here we dined
with the staff, and were permitted
to attend a war conference. We
are the first American girls who
have ever been allowed to listen to
a war conference!
I'VE have motored through hun
dreds of shelled villages, where
there is literally not one stone
standing upon another. Even this
destruction cannot spoil the beauty
of the French landscape. Anything
lovelier than motoring through
France at this time of year when
the poppy fields are all af1ame would
be hard to imagine. Out in the
fields you see women who appear to
be at least ninety years old doing
all the agricultural work. The
young women of France you hardly
see at all. They are working in
shops and munitions plants.
SEES ARTILLERY en- ACTION
while in this section have met
Colonel Robert H Tyndan, of In.
dianapolis. His regiment is the
150th Field Artillery. One evening
] got real thrill when he allowed
me to see his artillery In action.
He says am the Arst American
girl to see an Indiana battery firing
upon the Boche. The guns were
French howitzers 1888 They
made the most glorious noise I've
ever heard.
Miss Kerns and 7 kunched with
the Colonel and his stan at their
mess. and met a number of IN
dianapolis officers. A fine lot they
are, wonderfully proud of their reg
4ment and of their Colonel
1.-The army officers speak OF the
work the ~ is doing with the
warmest praise. Out IN the front
the secretaries are doing heroic
service. They face the same dam
ger from shells and gas as the
soldier, and they stick to their
post till the very last moment Any
one who thinks that a "Y' worker
has soft snap Is wrong. Their
work Is Just as strenuous and in
many places as perflous as the SOL
dier's.
TOO FEW ENTERTAINERS
~The canteen workers are doing
q valuable work, and the entsr-
tanners are all too few. Our book
ings have followed right behind
Elsie Janis. Macmillan Foster and
Clarence Burlington KellAnd, the
writer's, were among the Y. N.

The life over here simply can

infinite and the human dividends

What will become Of the old
fashioned man who used to say "A
newspaper office is no place for
woman" when he reads about the
Evening Union of Atlantic City. For
the offices of the Evening Union
have mo place for a man" since
the first day of September.
The paper is operated entirely
by women and it is the first paper
in the United States to have an
entirely feminine staff. From
managing editor down through the
ranks of star reporters, city hall
and police court writer's, district
news getters, linotype operators,
engravers and advertising solicit
tors-every attache of the paper is
a woman or girl. Even the office
boys are girls.
The editor in chief of the Even
ing Union is Mrs. Mary Norton
Chenoweth. Her creed, if it might
be called such, is that team work,
not the individual, makes for sue
cess" In speaking of her work,
she said, I'VE hope that success
will reward our efforts and af-
ford further evidence of woman's
capacity for just such team work"
Mrs. Chenoweth is a very young
woman to hold such position and
is much younger than many men
who have climbed that far in edi-
torial work
She was graduated from Swarth-
more college with B. a. degree,
then won the Joshua Lippincott
Fellowship and spent a year do
ing graduate work at Oxford, Eng.
For the last two years she has been
director of the department of art
history at Swarthmore. She is
ems organizations in Atlantic City,
