from every section of this area showed
united and generous response from
churches in every district.
Gifts thus far reported in returns

CARNATIONS are so perfecting their
canvasses that fully one-half of the
81. 100000 quota for the area will be
in hand by the middle Of the week.
That the full quota will be subscribed
seems assured.
Hundreds of churches have run
| far beyond their quotas and are
marking up over subscriptions. L.
calities having smaller churches are
! proving to be the surprise of the cam
paign.
Tabulations at Centenary head
quarters here today showed that the
standing of the various conferences
was as follows at the end of the first
day: Central Pennsylvania, $780,
$50; Baltimore, S594 .495; Washing
ton, s19O,37O; Wilmington, s224,-
| Ats. These first day totals aggrega-
ting 81 ,559,535 were increased by
scattering returns from practically all
of the eighteen districts in the Area
bringing the grand total up to around
the two million mark.
The territory covered by these re-
ports included Central Pennsylvania,
! Delaware, Maryland, District Of Col
umbia and parts of Virginia and
West Virginia.
In the whirlwind campaigns con-
Quoted the first day the outstanding
feature was furnished by the churches
embraced within the Baltimore dis
trict of the Washington conference.
1t was the first district to go over.
1t was a great Sunday for big gifts.
Three anonymous gifts by Baltimore
Methodists for $50, 900 each were re-
ported to headquarters. Gifts rang
ing from 81 900 to $4,000 were num-
erous.
Big subscriptions poured in from
all parts of the United States, it was
by Charles S. Ward national cam
paign director. 100000 of the
s1O5, 100000 fund sought has been
subscribed.
A western man whose name was
withheld, subscribed $3.50, 900. Other
large gifts included one for 5000
contributed by Mrs. Gustavus Swift,
of Chicago. The New England Area
reported an anonymous gift OF $780,
600. A contribution came from
President Chi Shih Chang, of China,
for 81 900.
In this Area, revised figures dis
closed that eighty churches out of a
total of 141 that had reported went
lover the top" Conspicuous among
the victory churches are those of

exceeded their quotas.

Unlimited Fishing Allowed

Herman Review.-There is likely
to be much activity in the fishing in
dustry in this locality this winter.
The Game and Fish Commission has
made survey of the small lakes and
designated a number, some of them
quite close to Herman, where fishing
may be carried on in any way the
fisherman chooses to do it.
This provision is made every year
for various parts of the state. The
idea is that the lakes where free
fishing is allowed are so shallow that
there is danger of the fish smother
ing. Rather than chance a complete
loss of this kind and the waste of a
large amount of good food, the state
will allow these lakes to be f1shed
out during the winter in any man
ner.
The law applies to rough fish only.
The lakes in Grant county where
free fishing may be carried on are

Why Spend Valuable Time?

England has spent four hundred
years trying to develop a breed of
cattle that is good for both beef and
dairy, namely the Shorthorns, and
have made a failure.
About three or four years ago
England sent man to America to
explain in a few minutes what it
took them four centuries to find out,
and that great point is to tell the
world that if they want to dairy get
the dairy breed and if they want to
raise beef get the beef breed.
Some man who has the Shorthorns
will say, ''I have a cow that is an
excellent dairy cow" We will grant
this, but ask this same man how
many Of her calves are as good as
