METHODIST CHURCHES
EXCEEDING CENTENARY
] QUOTAS BEFORE DRIVE

Three Methodist churches in the
Pittsburgh area have exceeded their
Centenary quotas before the financial
drive for $1O5,OOO,OOO for the five.
year Centenary program has been of.
fcially opened. The campaign will
not begin until May Is yet the
churches at Townville, and Polk in
pennsylvania and at Salamanca in
New York already have raised their
allotted sums.
Rev. w. E. Smith, pastor of the
church in Salamanca, wired to DR..
Appleton Bash, executive secretary of
the Pittsburgh area, that his church
has already passed its goal of $2,OSG
and now has more than 5000 surplus.
Townville church reported on March
20 to area headquarters that it had
reached its quota of $1,045 for the
Centenary and was trying to reach
the $1,000 mark. The money was
pledged in less than two days. The
Polk church in charge of Rev. s. B.
Bartlett, was reported over the top
at the same time.

NOT AS BIG AS
BR|T|AN'S BILL
Cost of War to America Not
Nearly Equal to What Eng.
lish Ally Must Pay.

Twenty-one months of our war with
Germany cost the United States $685..
356,O0O,000, the treasury department
calculates. Huge munitions and other
contracts have been cancelled. Man.
ufacturers are now presenting their
bills and receiving payments for ma
terials delivered months ago in the
heat Of the struggle.
Included in the enormous total of
s26, 100000 is the sum of $685.
100000 loaned to the Allies. When we
began lending to the Allies, the gov
eminent contemplated turning over
to them about $500, 1000 a month
but actual loans ordinarily ran around
$3.50, 900 monthly.
OF the total war bill about $4,000,
000,0 has been raised so far by the
Liberty Loans. The fact that we have
lot covered our war debt is the rea
son for the Victory Liberty Loan. In
other words we haven't paid for the
Job.
The cost of the war to Great Brit.
ain was $40,64O. 900, 900. Germany is
out S3S, $50, 100000 exclusive of indem-
mites the Allies may impose.

FOX TROTS ON
LIBERTY LEGS
Limbs Blown Off by Shell, But
This Man Continues to Trip
Light, Fantastic Toe to Jazz
Accompaniment.

Lillard Evans is a colored soldier
boy who had both legs blown off in
action. He lives for the present at
Letterman General Hospital at the
Preside in San Francisco. He can
and does dance fox trots and one
steps. How? Why?
OF course to dance a fox trot or
one-step fellow has to have legs
good legs. Well, Evans has them
not his own legs of flesh and bone,
but his own willow legs with joints
and everything He is going to leave
Letterman pretty soon and go back to
work and make his living and prob
ably get married and raise children.
That's the how.
The why of it is-the government
of the United States has gone in for
leg and arm making. 1t is giving
specially built leg or arm or hand or
a pair of legs or arms or hands to ev-
cry soldier who lost his legs or arms
in the war. At Letterman in particu-
lar they are making Liberty legs and
arms and hands in their own work
shop. They are making them because
they have hit upon a better artificial
limb than some manufacturers were
turning out.
This is one phase of the reconstruc.
ton work that Uncle Sam is quietly
carrying on. 1t is one Of the least ex.
pensive, but it is costing hundreds OF
thousands of dollars. Remember that
when Uncle Sam comes a-knocking at
your door with the Victory Liberty
Loan. Much of the money you will
lend is going to degenerate these
men who gave of their flesh and blood
for their country.

Tick-tock-

Sixty seconds make a minute-sixty
minutes make an hour-$50,0 900, 900 a
day.
That's what the war was costing
America when the Armistice was
signed.
Quick, Some one! Stop the clock!
Well, some one did.
That day of our first Peace Cele-
bration when we all went crazy and
tore loose, some wag in the bank did
stop the clock. Took out the pendu-
lum and tied big piece Of black
crepe on the clock itself And every
body laughed and yelled their heads
of-because the war was over.
That was the end of it. The war
was oVer-the clock was stopped and
everything.
Well-almost everything.
Other clocks still went on ticking
at S555 a second! They're still tick
ing Not at 1855, to be sure-but it
will run far into millions before next
June.
We still have a job to finish. we
still have war-bills to pay. And Amer.
leans always pay their bills.
We still have an army at the bridge
heads of the Rhine, and we've got to
keep it there for a while-if we're go
armistice.
And then there are the soldiers to
bring back and the wounded to care
for and the crippled to make over and
jobs to fnd-before our job is finish
ed-before We can turn all our ener.
gies TO making plows and automobiles
again.
It's going to take money. And
we've got to raise it. That's part Of
our job-yours and mine and the PEG.
pies next door.
The bank with the clock can't do it
all the banks in the country can't do
tiff we are going to go ahead after
ward making plows and automobiles
and opening up new mines and plant
ing more wheat fields.
We've got to have credit, if we are
going to get back on a prosperous
business basis And we can't have
credit. if the banks have all their
money tied up in Liberty Loans.
Whenever one thinks of the pros
perity and happiness we can have in
this country, if we make good use Of
the opportunities that lie just ahead
he should think of that clock in the
bank with it's streamer of crepe and
its little red sign:
And of the millions OF other clocks
that were ticking of the minutes dur
ing the war just as that clock in the
bank did and-well-

Tick-tock-
1t isn't much of a clock as clocks
