New York. May l7.-With their
goal $l40,000,000 for human better
ment, the greatest amount any de-
nomination ever attempted to raise
in the history of the world, Metho-
dist Episcopal churches throughout
the United States will begin tomor-
row a spectacular one-week inten-
sive financial drive.
They are trying to achieve the
financial objects of their Missionary
Centenary by employing all the
methods of Liberty Loan cam
paign-newspaper advertising and
publicity, bill boards, special PAM
phlets, dinners and the rivalry be-
tween localities and individual
churches each striving to show an
oyersubscription.
The country has been DIVIDED and
subdivided into areas, conferences,
districts and districts and the
individual churches are also organ
lied into several units. To each di-
vision, down to the individual
churches, definite quota has been
assigned.
That the drive is bound to be a
signal success is the deduction
drawn by leaders at Centenary
headquarters here from a food of
letters and kilograms showing
about two thousand churches al
ready have exceeded their allotment
and are pushing on for 100 per cent
oversubscription.
Teams of workers carefully Or

Methodists to Begin Big
Financial Drive Today

ganized and drilled by c. S. Ward,
campaign manager for many re-
cent war. fund activities, will pre-
sent the Centenary message to ev-
cry member of the church next
week. In each city the teams will
meet together once day for lunch
con or dinner. exchange reports and
get inspiration from speeches and
music.
The movement is founded on the
belief that the world today is at
one of the crucial points of its his
tory, and that the war has awakened
mankind, but left it confused and
likely to follow false prophets, and
that remarkable opportunity for the
play of either good or evil forces is
open in every land In this crisis the
leaders of the movement declare
Christianity should take strong
stand and make unusual efforts to
supply the guidance.
But the work to be undertaken
with the Centenary fund will be
largely of most practical charac-
ter. Among the multitude of enter
prises decided upon are the adop-
ton of twelve French towns on the
Chateau-Thierry battlefield for re-
construction, series of recreation
centers like the Y. M. c. A. huts
but of more permanent nature, in
war-torn France and Italy, hospitals
for the cannibal tribes in Africa and
Mohammedans of Malaysia, a large
agricultural station to teach Ameri-
can methods of farming in southern
Italy and an even larger institution
of the same character in Chile; COM

munity churches in many American
cities and an intensihcation of all
the activities TO improve the tone of
American life, so as to make the
United States the model Christian
nation" g.. .t..
An interesting feature of the drive
is the attempt to enlist one million
Methodists as tithers, or persons
who promise to give one-tenth of
their income to help their fellow
men. SO far, we'll over l2s,000 men,
women and young folks have signed
this pledge and the gold cards have
poured into the Centenary Offices
here SO fast that the tabulation is
far behind.
Fifty-three thousand young men
and women are being recruited
from colleges and schools. This ar
my corps will be especially trained
to serve in the enterprises of the
church as enlarged by the Centen-
airy. On the intelligence and per-
sonality of the leaders developed, ac-
cording to the heads of the Centen-
airy, will depend the success of the
movement as much as on the
amount of money raised.

case.
1t is alleged that Loewy and Zies-

PLAN SOLDIERS CELEBRATION
FOR RETURNED VERNON BOYS

Plans are afoot for most elaborate
celebration of the return of Vernon
Parish Boys who have been overseas,
and also for those who have been in
the camps. Eclipsing Fourth Of July
and all other holidays rolled into one,
the committee discussing the affair ex-
poets to make it a day to be remember
ed for years to come.
The exact date has not yet been fix
ed. as it is desired to have all Of the
boys home so that all may attend. Ii
is especially desired that Abe Allen be
here, as he is mentioned among the
100 American war heroes who stand
foremost, and no occasion welcoming
the return Of Vernon boys wohId be
complete without him.
The details of the proposed ceIebra-
ton have not been worked out, though
they have been discussed in a general
way and always with the conviction
that the celebration should be the
greatest in Vernon's history.

Police Jury to Decide
About Paving Street

The Police Jury has been III session
during the first part Of the week. They
had their regular quarterly work 81
going over the treasury accounts.
The proposition Of the roads came
up before the Jury at this session. Al
committee Of citizens went in before
the Jury and asked them to start the
gravel roads at the courthouse. If
the parish will do that, the city will be
able to vote bonds and finish The
work; but if this is not done. the city
will not be able to vote enough to i'm
prove very many of Leesville's streets.
According to law there is a limit to the
amount that can be bonded for im-
in a city Of LeesviIIe's size.
Since the city helps to pay for the par
ish roads, they feel that a certain per
cent Of the money should be spent On
the streets.
