CHURCH DRIVE
Is SUCCESS
NORTH ENGLISH DISCIPLES Ex
CEED QUOTA BY $1,000 IN
EMERGENCY CAMPAIGN

North English, April 17.-Pledges on
the Diciples Emergency Drive are still
being received by the committee of
the local church of Christ although
tho canvass was practically complete
Sunday. The total of all pledges to
date IL $1,764 more than $1,000 above
the S737 asked from the North En-
glish church.
After the North English delegates
returned from the Men and Million
Conference at Des MONIES a careful
survey was made of the wealth of the
congregations, and the pastor asked
the local church to voluntarily In
crease their apportionment to $1,037.
This was done and 1t was suggested
that the men raise the original $7S7
and the women of the church secure
pledges for the extra 5000.
Special meetings were held among
the women by the G. w. B. M. auxil-
larry. The entire church observed the
week of prayer and self denial pre-
ceding Easter. twenty-five canvas
sers were selected by the missionary
committee to put on an every MEM
Der canvass. This canvassing COM
mittee met at the church last Thurs
day night and Systematically divided
the field in town and country into
eleven districts.
The canvass began Friday morning
and was completed Sunday. The en-
tire membership of the church gave
with enthusiasm. Many doubled their
original pledge before the close of the
canvass. One man added to his pledge
four different times. A $40 pledge
taken Saturday was today raised to
fifty dollars. The largest gifts werc
by two men and one woman who each
gave one hundred dollar Liberty
bond. Though some gifts are still to
come the present count shows for the
men pledges of near 500 and for the
women more than $1,000.
The total raised $1,764 by the North
English church is the largest subscrib-
ed by any single congregation in Iowa,
Keokuk, Mahaska, jefferson, and
Wapello counties so far as the
amounts have been reported to date.
The North English church has 335
members. and was represented at the
Des Moines conference by Mrs. |. P.
Smith and the pastor Rev. R. B. Hy-
ten, Mrs. Joseph King and Mrs. War
rem Thomas directed the women's part
of the canvass and Fred G. Turner
and /. p. Smith led the men.

ON RAILWAYS
Passenger Travel as Luxury to DO
Eliminated In Order to Give
More Attention to
Freight Trains.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20.-Curtail
ment Of passenger traffic by sharp IN
creases in passenger rates and by
elimination of competing overnight
trains between middle west and com.
mercial centers, Is expected to be
ordered soon by the railroad admin
istration.
interchangeable tickets will be in
troduced at the same time to reduce
inconvenience to a minimum. Those
steps are being worked out in detail
now, and as soon as completed Will be
tordered into effect by Director Cen
eral McAdoo. 4a
"Passengerless days" have been
under consideration, railroad admins
tration officials stated, but such
action Is not deemed necessary now,
with the return OF moderate weather.
The most drastic cutting of pas
senger traffic will be in the middle
west. The cities affected include
Chicago, st. Louis, Kansas City.
Omaha Des Moines, St. Paul. Min
neapolis, Duluth, Cleveland and De-
troit.
It will be possible to run through
might trains entirely over one route
between such cities, leaving compel
ing lines tree for freight business
This can hardly be done in day hours
it was pointed out, as lines traverse
different territory which must be
accommodated with Intern diate
train service, but even the clearing
of all but one such line for twelve
hours at night will enable much great
er freight speed and will relieve high
power engines for freight service.
Some additional reduction will be
made in eastern routes, but officials
pointed out that already 1000, 0O0
passenger miles had been cut from
the running schedules since the gov
eminent took control of the railroads.
Under the new passenger conser-
walton plan, every upper berth will be
occupied. Heretofore trains have
been running with half the berths
empty in many cases. Railroad Of
ficials are convinced that the public
will be willing to occupy upper as
well as lower berths in the interests
of improved transportation.
! Trains will be run only when load
ed to capacity. Additional trains and
coaches will be put on only when
traffic demands.
Club and buffet cars will not be
permitted.
