swept away by the war.
"Armistice and peace does not
mean a cessation of Red Cross work, :"
said Simmons. "No power in the
world can aid in physical and human
as can the American
Red Cross. We would be unworthy
of the high ideals in which the world
holds us if we fail now in this respon-
sibility. Now is our opportunity as
civilians to do our big share for those
who have been fighting our fight for
us until we could get into it our
selves"
While the Red Cross must have
large sums of money to relieve the
war sufferers, date for raising funds
has not been set. 1t is probable that
subscriptions may be asked in the
spring. From December 16 to 90,
the organization will conduct a mem
bership campaign. 1t is hoped that
every American in the world will join
the Red Cross during the campaign.

THE TURKEY

The turkey is our great national
bird. He is native of North Amer
lea, although he has been introduced
into Europe. We are unable to state
just how ceremonious and formal the
introduction was. So many things
have recently been introduced into
Europe that we find it difficult, al
most impossible to keep apace with
the details of these introductions.
The turkey has lots of good stuff in
him and frequently has lots of good
stuffing. On the exterior he is dec
Grated with feathers by nature, and
on the interior he is decorated with
SALT pepper, sage, and other flavor
ing materials by an expert interior
decorator called chef. Thus we see
that outwardly and inwardly the tur-
key is made of the stuff and the
stuffing which will tickle ordinary
mortals.
Which do you prefer, light meat or
dark meat? Most people are quite
fond of making heavy meal Of light
meat, but this is case where they
are not afraid of the dark.
Mr.. Turkey generally does not last
much longer than a secondhand fliv-
yer. His mud guards, his steering
gear, his one-man top-his whole
body design are quickly ruined by de-
signing appetites. We have cold tur-
key for a day or two, and he is com
pletely dismantled. Then we look
upon his unalluring
chassis and wish we had the power to
reassemble him.

GIGANTIC TASK AHEAD
OF AMERICAN RED CROSS

st. Louis, Nov. 20. The American
Red Cross must answer the appeal of
civilian war sufferers and continue
it's work of reconstruction, said
George w. Simmons, manager for the
Southwest Division of the organiza-
ton. His statement was made in re-
gard to the work of the Red Cross
now that the war has ended.
Simmons said that the work of the
organization will be increased rather
than decreased because of the great
amount of relief that must be given.
He said the French and Belgians and
Italians in many cases had been re-
duced to starvation and the world
looks to the Red Cross to save these
sufferers and restore conditions

ed that nearly fifty thousand dollars
of it shall be spent in the territory
of Liberal district. This is their faith
in the future of this country. And
the Liberal church is to be the leader
in this great forward movement.
All of this points with imperative
hand to the new church. Liberal
must have modern plant equipped
in every way to do the work of the
Kingdom and to lead in this great
forward movement. 1t must be a
light house radiating its light to all
the churches of this territory. 1t
must be the central power plant send
ing out its wires of power and inAu-
encA, through the whole territory. 1t
must be the training school where
men and women see God and catch
his call to go to fields of service both
at home and abroad. The clock has
struck. God calls. If we are faithful
in the things given US, greater places
of leadership are open. If we sleep
and fail even that which we have
shall be taken away. There is but
one call and that is the call to go
forward. Regardless of difficulties it
is always safe to answer His call.
Liberal church will not fail in this
hour. The people of Liberal church
and community will answer the call
and do the work of leadership for the
kingdom in this great southwest.
Sunday, December eighth is the
day. Former pastors will be present.
1t is to be high day for the Kingdom.
Think thru your obligation and your
opportunity in this work of the King
dom. Come to help sing and shout
the victory. For on that day we
pledge the money for this great en-
terprise and start in the work of
erecting another church plant in Lib
eral that will stand for a century in
the work of leadership and service
for the Kingdom.

THE NEW METHODIST CHURCH
(By Rev. A. M. Wilkinson.)

There is still one other phase of
the new church to be considered. That
is its influence upon the work of the
Kingdom thru the whole Southwest
country.
At the last conference Liberal was
made the head of a district. The con-
ference by this act expressed its con-
fidence that Liberal was to be the
head of the Southwest country. And
this is true. Liberal is the largest
town and natural center of eight
thousand miles of territory And this
territory is fast developing country
and soon will have many more people
living in it. Liberal looks upon this
as her trade territory. And justly So
But this town is assuming it as their
trade territory assumes a moral and
spiritual leadership as well. The old
phase of seltishness is past. We live
in new day. We are our brothers
keeper and the world is going to hold
us responsible for his welfare. And
Liberal will be held responsible for
the coming of the Kingdom thru this
great Southwest.
In order to carry out the task of
leadership that is placed upon us in
this great developing country we
must have an adequate plant at the
center. AS long as they see in Lib
eral a church building that is anti
quated and out of date, as long as
they see modern business houses and
up to the minute plants for CONNER
cal purposes and no adequate plant
for the making of christian character,
so long will the Kingdom come slowly
in this country. Methodsm has a
great empire to take for God in this
western country. And by our pecu-
liar policy and method of reaching
out it can do the job as we'll if not
better than our sister churches. They
have their part and God bless them
But the Methodist preacher has al
ways led the way ahead of the con-
struction train. And he is the pioneer
in this western country. 1t is no
stretch of truth to say that three
fourths of the people of this territory
are today depending upon Methodism
for their gospel privileges and oppor-
tunities. God has thus challenged us
to a great task and we must be true
to the call.
Again the great Centenary move
ment is on in Methodism to raise
eighty million dollars for missionary
work in the next five years. We have
been thinking of it as the task of Civ
ing this great amount of money. But
there is the other end of it. If this
amount is given the Board has decid-

Ban Not Worried.

Chicago, July 11.-Ban Johnson, considers the refusal of John k. Tener to consider American league cases as a member of the National commission as an indication that he is to resign the presidency of the parent organization. Moreover, he believes that Teners action is for the welfare Of the game.
 '"The contemplated resignation of President Tener from the presidency of the National league OccasiOned me no surprise" said Johnson. From advices l have received from several sources the couse he has taken is ab- solutely necessary for the welfare of baseball in view of the fact that he devoted so little attention to the af- fairs of the game.
 "MoralIy and technically Manager Mack of the Philadelphia club can be justified in the position he has taken in the Perry case. Gov. Tcner has on one or two occasions been a that seemed unfair and absurd to mo, but l never accepted that as an excuse for declining to serve as a member of that body
 "T presume the parent body will find no difficulty in ably filling the position Gov. Tener has finally deter mined to VaCate."

GRIFETTH'S LATEST FIND.
Buckeye Joins Well for Washington
 Club.

Clark Griffith, manager of the Washington Americans, has d young stcr on his pitching staff, who has the earmarkS of developing into a great pitcher Griffith, who is one of the best judges of pitchers, and himself a former box star thinks that the new man has the "stuff," although to date his major league performance has not borne out the contention.
 Garland Buckeye is the lads name Buckeye halls from Gary, Ind, where he began playing baseball on a gram mar school team, later becoming identified with a somi-pro team of that city He is feet inches tall and weights 175 pounds.
 On his debut he did not make d very good showing, being sent into the game after it had been lost by Shaw. He pitched only two innings passing d man and forcing in q run
 He also found time to put enohgh of the balls across the plate to strike two men out. one each inning.
 The thing which marks the NOung- ster as conner in the pitchers box IS his speedy curve A powerful man, he seems to have all the speed that Walter Johnson can put into his de- livery.
 Griffith says that his Wildncss on his first appearance in the big game was due to stage fright, and Buckeye frankly admits the same.

emergencies. Well, the players never drilled anybody, so far as any one else ever heard. Indeed, once Illus ton left for France the whole mlll- tary edifce of the American league crumpled to dust. One does not with impunity escape his pledges to the administration.
 And then there is another com mission member, for whose club Fred Toney is pitching. Toney was indicted on a charge of perjury in connection with the draft law. He is at liberty now because of jury dis agreement, but it is said will have to face another trial. Furthermore, he has been indicted on an even more serious charge. When the chairman of the most august power of organ ized baseball finds at his own fireSlde a haven for a suspected ''slacker' is it any wonder that the great, clean game which We all know baseball is must suffer undeSerVedly?
 The real troubles of baseball lie with the present administration. If John K. Tcner's ultimatum results in a thorough housekeeping the sport ing public will owe him a vote of thanks That goes whether or not his commendable stand leads direct lV to war.

OFF AGAIN ION AGAIN
Just Like Rcnouricd Finncgan, Full ton and Dempsey Bound to Appear Somewhere

Newark. N. J., July 11.-Following the denying of his right to stage the Fulton-Dcmpscy fight in the Newark Velodrome, Alexander Archibald, di- rector of finance of the city of New ark, is to appeal the case. Mr. Arch bald, who is chairman of committee raising money for the Clark Griffith bat and ball fund, is much perturbed over the refusal of the New Jersey boxing commission to see things the way he does, and in speaking of the matter, said:
 "'I am not a promoter of fights and would not have handled the fight if it had come here. It was my inten- ton to have James Johnson of New York look after the details, and l was to have met representative of the boxers here tomorrow to make final arrangements regarding the division of the receipts on a percentage basis. The letter presented to the commits sion by my secretary seemed to cx-
 plain the matter pretty clearly l do not think that anybody expected Full
 ton and Dempsey t box here for nOL1llIS, tilltl J1C DOAlllS is not eXCepted."
 Commissioner Crane today made the following statement with regard to
 the situation: "If the bout is held ill
 Newark it will not take place at the
 Velodrome. A license to conduct
 bouts at the bbcycle track has already been denied. and it would not bc in
 keeping with the views of the com
 
 sey stage their bout there We think
 that licensed club should handle it.
 When permission was granted for
 the show we did not think that a licensed club should handle it. When permission was granted for the show we did not think they were going after such big game. We also thought all the money was going to the fund" With the ,passible exception of the war, the Fulton-Dcmpsey battle has , been more in the public print, appar- ently than anything else, hardly a day | passing but what the names of these two pugs are flashed in the head lines. The turning down of the bout in DanDury, in Baltimore and now in Newark. should sink into the heads of | the various promoters by this time so that they would lay off the affair, at 1 least for the present. The boxing game has for several years been in a ' bad way in a good many places, and each years sees the territory where ! ring scraps can be staged is getting 1 smaller. One of the reasons for the ] curtailment of the sport has been be- 1 cause promoters when riled over the l crossing of their plans by the powers 1 that be- fill the papers with all sorts l of threats of how they are going to l run their fights in spite of opposition. l These affairs always come in Tor q 1 lot of publicity, and pretty soon that l particular town or city where the | argument Is going on finds that no 1 more fstic events will be tolerated ] there.
 The attempt to stage the FultOn- 1 Dempsey fight in Danhury belng re- Sponsible for killing the game all over i the state is a good example of the l useleSSncss Of starting trouble with | the authorities over boxing.
