It is estimated that from 1906

It is estimated that from $50, 900
to 100000 head of breeding cat
tie were removed from Texas last
year through the efforts of the De-
partment of Agriculture, and that at
least as many more, of which the de-
.partment has no record, were taken
to good grazing land in other States.
This movement is expected to be an
important factor in building up the
beef-cattle industry in the Southern
States. Arrangements have been
made in number of States whereby
the administration of live stock san
itary regulations will not impede the
movement more than necessary. The
demand for the fange-bred cattle be-
came SO great last year in the South
eastern States that a number of the
beef-cattle specialists were sent to
Fort Worth to handle direct the or
ders from their States. In many in
stances whole train loads, made up
Of small purchases, were shipped CO.

A Joint Centenary and Sunday School
Training Conference at Hays.

A Joint Centenary and Sunday School
Training Conference at Hays.
The Sunday schools of the country
are feeling the effects of the war.
DIR. Edgar Blake of Chicago reports
that all the spring conferences of the
Methodist Episcopal Church this year
show a decrease In Sunday school
membership. He estimates the losses
for the year will be more than a hun
dred thousand. This is the more
striking IN view of the remarkable
growth registered in Methodist Sun
day schools during the past ten years,
which has averaged 100000 a year,
or a total of a million six hundred
thousand.
To meet this crisis IN Sunday
school work the Board of Sunday
Schools has arranged a series OF dis
trict training conferences to cover
most of the eastern part of the Unit
ed States. One of these training con
ferences viii be held for the Els
worth district at Hays on September
26 and 27.
Plans are already underway for
raising great centenary fund m the
Methodist Church of eighty million
dollars to be used for meeting the
crisis growing out of the present
world situation. The raising Of this
centenary fund is a part OF the pro-
gram of the church IN celebrating the
one hundredth anniversary of mis-
sionary work. It is believed by
church leaders that the most appro-
pirate way to celebrate a centenary
OF soul stirring missionary achieve
mefit is to plan and execute a great
forward movement.
