WHY COLUMBUS WAS
MADE CENTENARY CITY
Has Largest Percentage Of
MethOdIsts In the World.

What brought the Methodist Cen
tenary Celebration to Columbus
June 20 to July 10, is the question il
the minds of a great many Methodists
and non Methodists throughout the
United States and elsewhere
When H. B. Dickson was chosen
organizing director of the celebration
by the joint commission of the Meth
odist Church South and the Methodist
Church North, he Immediately SET
about to find the most suitable place
for the greatest event of it's kind
ever held--a city which could take
care of the 100000 persons who would
come to this gathering, and one which
was so located that it could be most
easily reached by the people most
concerned.
Mr.. Dickson made a tour Of mum.
ber of the principal cities of the
United States, including Washington,
Baltimore Cincinnati, st. Louis, Kan.
sas City and others of that class. He
came back by way of Detroit, where
he received instructions to go over
the same territory again, stopping at
cities that had not been visited be-
fore. On the way Mr.. Dickson stop
ped at Indianapolis. indianapolis
tried to interest him by showing him
the Indiana state fair grounds. This
gave Mr.. Dickson an idea, but he was
not satisfied Previously he had not
considered the possibility of utilizing
buildings such as constitute the equip,
ment of state fair grounds.
Next he came to Columbus, where
he found the state exposition grounds,
and he was captivated at once. There
is nothing like these accommodations
anywhere in the United States" he
said. But this was not enough to
taries of the two churches most in
terested Then it was up to him to
get an argument that would convince
the bishops, district superintendent
and others in authority in the
churches.
Mr.. Dickson began to draw circles
around the cities of any size in the
United States, to find out where the
Methodists were to be found In this
way he discovered that there were
more Methodist churches with 1000
members and over in the city of Co
lumbus than in any other city in the
world. He also found that there were
100 600 Methodists living within two
hours ride of the city Of Columbus,
and more than 100000 within a.
ride Of the city; 100000
Methodists within an over-night's ride
Of the city.
With reference to the Methodist
Church South, 1t was found that there
was no citx the size Of Columbus.

HEADGEAR OF ALL FASHIONS
In the Revolutionary War the Hats
Worn by the Soldiers Were OF
Many Designs.

In our past wars there were no such
things as flying shrapnel, or airplanes
that dropped darts Of steel on the
soldiers below, so American soldiers
wore ordinary army hats. But modern
warfare has made 1t necessary that
soldiers wear helmets Of steel.
In the Revolutionary war our sol
diers' hats were of many designs. One
of the most common was the cooked"
hat, made of black or brown felt and
turned up on the sides to form three
corners. The Virginia riflemen wore
brown felt hats with one side turned
up. and the Maryland rifemen brown
