Social Happenings
BADGER MErHoD1srs TO CONFER
Annual State Conferences to be Held
at Appleton and Manitowoc Be-
ginning. September 4th.

at Appleton and Manitowoc Be-
ginning, September 4th.
Members of the Kenosha Methodist
Churches are showing much interest in
the annual conferences which will be
held at Appleton and Manitowoc COM
mencing September 4th. Whether there
will be any changes in churches is pro-
blematical but it is known that
large number of Wisconsin pastors have
been notified that they will be called
for chaplain service in the U. S. Army.
Those who will attend the confer
ences from Kenosha, including the pas
tors and delegates are as follows:
Park Avenue, NJ e. Chursh--Confer-
ence at Appleton The Rev. Ora Taylor,
delegate, L. ]. Rogers.
German Methodist Church - Confer
ence at Manitowoe- Rev. W. 81.
Schwiering; delegates, Ferdinand Born
heutter and Anton Klenne.
Much work has been slated for the
Conference at Appleton.
It is expected that the conference
will be attended by more than two
hundred and fifty. One of the fea-
lures Of the conference will be the
centennial anniversary of the found
ing Of the missionary society for
which at the present time $5,000,0o0
a year is given. It is the plan to
raise $S0,0O0,0OO in the next Eve
years and the need Of 500 recruits a
year for the next FIVE years will be
stressed at the conference. There
will be $1,000 needed for home mis-
sions.
Plans for army chaplains also will
be discussed as this has been very
important part of the business of the
church since the entrance of the
United States into the war. They
have been using the selective draft
methods whereby names of the men
best suited are sent by the district
superintendent to the war council
at Washington and from this list
names are chosen for service. The
quota has been easily filled up to
the present time as the reserve num-
Der is much larger at all times than
the demand

don t want for tobacco any more. The
Government issues us a ration and we
get quite a little from the tobacco fund

chocolate, canned fruit and jam quite
often also. Every day we think more
of that organization.
From now on we viii be referred to
as u. S. Army beyond doubt. Too
much publicity, I guess. We saw a
German paper with an account of one
Iof the scraps. It said, Nsthe superb
courage of the Americans was in vain,
our valiant Prussian troops trampled
over them piing the dead in heaps. -
All the trampling I saw was them
tranpling over one another to get away
from a husky American with bayonet
or with a machine gun playing tattoo
on or about them. Let me know as

me, he didn t need souveniers to re-

In fact, guess he's a woman When
my mother writes to me she always
puts sweet geranium leaf in her
letter. This pretty little habit has
been hers for years and years. No
matter where | we wandered over the
world her aromatic geramium leaves
have followed me, and now since
came over here a year ago not one has
been lost in the Censor's office. Also
she sometimes encloses little scraps of
her new dresses, a pattern of wool and
other homely treasures current be-
tween mothers and daughters, and one

Feven in the throes Of war, when SEN
