Methodist Centenary Cell

DR.. Edgar Blake, Associate ESecu-
tive Secretary Of the Centenary, pre-
sentcd the world program of the
Methodist Church in rousing fashion
at a special one o'clock service in
Old John Street Church, New York,
February 10. This church is now
in the financial district and many
prominent business men left their
desks to be present.
"Seven million men have laid down
their lives and today sleep beneath
the soil to make the world safe for
democracy" said DR.. Blake. "Seven
million men have made the last great
sacrifice.
"This is the challenge that comes 10
US from our sleeping dead. They ask
the Church of Christ to make demo-
cracy safe for the world.
"God make perpetual the things
for which they died! My dear Broth
rem and sisters, in the sight of these
men who have given their all to free
a world, how can the Church of Christ
do less than to give her all to save
that for which these men have died?
"The Centenary Of the Methodist
Episcopal Church is u answer to
this challenge which m from our
heroic dead, to make a world worthy
of them.
"The gift of a dollar looks mighty
Small beside the gift of a human life.
The time is coming when the Church
of Christ must match the sacrifices
and heriosm of our IONS or prove
unworthy of them. Do it? God
knows we have got to do ,t! And
God knows We are going to do it'll"
Earlier in his address DR.. Blake
reviewed the systematic method by
which the Centenary surveys were
made and the program mapped out.
He explained that this is the cele-
bration of the organization Of the
Missionary Society of the Methodist
Episcopal Church in New York City
just n hundred years ago, but
added:
ut is not our purpose to spend u
time and u strength in clarifying
the past. Rather it is our purpose
to gather inspiration from our past
to undertake a program that shall be
worthy of that which has gone before.
"No matter how intelligent a peo-
pie may be, there is no future for a
democracy not based on moral foun-
dations.
"Our present giving is a measure
of our present interest-not of our
present ability to give. After one
hundred years of missionary work,
we are raising II cents q year per
member for work outside the local
church-lh cents a week per MEM
Der! "a
"Out Of 1900 charges, only 20
per cent give as much as two cents a
week a member. Only seventy-three
give one cent a day per member.
"We are fat with prosperity. 1t
was said a few months ago., This is
no time to seek pleasure; the war is
on and our first business is to win the
war The war is won, thank God,
but We still have a great task before

Advertising Will Do It

The following letter under date of
February 13, was dictated by Roger
w. Babson, director general of the
U. S. Department of Labor, Informa-
ton and Educational Service, Wash
ington, to the William II. Rankin Co.,
of Chicago, and is well worth a care
full perusal:
at is the desire of the Department
of Labor to stimulate business by sug-
costing to present advertisers that
they increase their space and to pros
pective advertisers that they bring
their plans to a head and start adj
vcrtising Immediately.
"The surest and quickest way to
bring business to its pre-war basis is
to overcome the general apathy to
buying which exists in the minds of
many people at present. Adver-
Using will do this.
"We would like to see more retail
advertising and more national adver-
Using and we believe that the press
of the Country and yourselves will
appreciate the fostering of such a
movement by the Department Of La
Dor.
MAY we ask you to prepare one
or o advertisements for the De-
partment of Labor carrying the mes
sage outlined. Your cooperation
in this matter rs earnestly desired.

An interesting good roads meeting
vas held in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms Saturday afternoon which was
well attended. The speaker of the
occasion was A. H. Edgren, county
engineer of Lancaster county, who de-
tailed how the paved roads out of
Lincoln had greatly enhanced the val
ue of farm lands contiguous thereto.
State Representative Van Patten was
present who told the business men
present that the house committee pos
itively would not favorably act on the
$4,000 appropriation to pave that
part of the o. l.. ID. highway running
west of the city through the Ingle-
side state farm unless a paving dis
trict running two miles west of the
lngleside farm was created. Mr.. Van
Patten as well as Engineer Edgren en-
planned that there was vastly more at
stake than the $4,000 appropriation
referred to-that unless the $40, 900
appropriation be made good along
with the latter mentioned require
ment. Adams county would stand to
lose its county allotment of 5000, 900.
In other words if Adams county
comes across with the paving deal
through the state farm and the Gre
alton of the two mile paving extern
sion west toward Juniata, then the
state and federal government will CO.
operatively bear rs per cent of the en-
pense of the paving. If Adams coun-
ty should decide against these then
Adams county's $200,000 allotment
is the meat in the cocoaaut. Follow
ing the discussion Charles Hughes,
who owns a farm this side of Juniata,
signed the petition for the two mile
paving districts west Of the asylum.
Engineer Edgren told how some farm
ers on the paving project out of Lin
coin had sold their farms at an ad-
a Of from i$t6O-the- ACREAGE
pfiee before paSing-for~ S275 an
acre. He SAID az brick-pAyed high

to report to you is that this
great country of our is trusted
throughout the world"
4 We know it is a fact. Our
behavior in war convinced our
allies and our foes that we
could fight hard and that being
in the war we were ready in
every way to go the very limit
for victory.
Our behavior in peace has
been such as to increase the es-
TEEN in which the nation is
held. Our soldiers in the occu-
pied region have been generous
to the civil population. They
have made no war ON women
and children. Life and pro-
perty and personal rights have
been respected by our soldiers.
1t is a sign of character and of
bravery. Only towards are

EMPLOYMENT is THE so.
LUTON

/ ~ HERE are now $4,000 idle
" men in Portland. 1t is
natural situation wher
the demobilization of soldiers
us considered. This state alone
had more than $4,000 men in
the service. Umatilla county
had approximately 1000 men
In the army and the navy.
How to restore these men to
contented places in civil life is
a real problem and a grave
one. 1t is. however, a duty
that must be handled properly
or there will be trouble. The
idle man, if the idleness is pro
llonged and hardship is worked
upon the man makes the very
sort of material the bolshevist
wants.
1t is futile to expect the ma
tional government to fully care
for the returning soldier. The
government has gigantic war
obligations to meet. To meet
these obligations it must rely
on taxation and on bond issues.
But people complain now
against taxes and the public is
weary of bond buying. There
is strong hope that the public
will not be asked to take fifth
liberty loan. 1t may be grant
ed the government would like
to allow liberal pay to dis
charged soldiers but it would
take money to do it and the peo-
pie in one way or another
would have to provide the
money. The government is us.
The surest way to provide
for the returning soldier is to
give him a job. This will af-
ford a permanent solution. All
over the country there is ten
dency to create all the new
work possible so that there will
not be lack of employment dur
ing the months to come. 1t is
the only remedy and the appli-
cation of this remedy calls for
cooperation all along the line.
In Umatilla county the peo-
pie will have a chance to vote
March a for real measure of
relief. The carrying out of a
comprehensive good roads pro-
gram will provide much work
at time when work is needed.
Some will say soldiers will not
want that class of work. In
many cases they will not. But
the more work of all kinds
there is open the better will be
the soldiers chance for employ
ment. Therefore a vote for the
road bonds will be a practical
step towards solving the read
justment problem.
You, Mr.. Average Citizen,
must assume big part of the
responsibility for restoring our
soldiers to civil life. You can
not pass the buck. The man
who would slip from under his
duty and the newspaper that
tries to argue that the federal
government should assume the
whole task are falling down at
a time when something better
is to be expected of them.

IBy T.. G. Dougherty.l

Washington, June l0.-i.argeiy 'h'a
the efforts OF Thomas Mcdonald, for
merly. chief engineer of the Iowa state
highway commission. now chief of the
federrl aid bureau OF the department
OF agriculture, highway building thru
out the United States is now proceed
ing on a scale hitherto unequalled. The
need of good roads and the concessions
in prices granted by the producers Oh
raw materials, coupled with the fact
that Tom Mcdonald is on the job. have
broken the cycle of waiting that sun
hobbies many industdies. Not only are
the programs actually under way AM
determined upon making up Tor lost
time Of the last two years, but they In
clude many entirely new projects.
With the passing of the war and the
brakes IL put on road building. there
has been a great squirt in the undertake
ing OF projects under the federal aid
law. There are now some 1.20o OF these
joint state and federatprojects. aggre-
eating 10000 miles. Mr. Mcdonald,
anxious TO expedite and facilitate the
acquisition Of better highways for the
United States, has found way TO
short cut" the routine Of federal ap-
proval and CO. operation. The central
office in Washington now> passes on
the general scheme OF a project III II
acts favorably, and IL is sure to act
promptly in any event. the whole pro-
ject Is turned over to the proper dis
trict engineer. there being ten such
engineers, with full authority to act
from then on. The district engineers
keep in close touch with the state and
local engineers, as they develop the de-
tails of the projects. and pass on them
as fast as they progress, with the re-
suit that when the state engineer mas
reached his final decisions. the federal
bureau is prepared to act practically
coincidentally with him thru its district
representative.
It is declared that this speeding up
by Mr.. McDonaldsof the wheels of gov
eminent procedure Is so gratifying TO
the states that the dissatisfaction which
has existed in-the past with the work
ings of the federal aid system. is being
entirely dissipated. Some states are
so far exceeding the quota OF federal
financial aid they are entitled to that
instead of spending dollar for dollar,
as planned. they are actually spending
four dollars for every dollar they re-
ceived from the national treasury.

practically all the formerly good roads
of the country. the new truck roads

$4,000 a mile. The donation OF 2o,ooo

work. as well as. contributions from the
