new OHIO BUILDINGS
! FOR SAL LVATI0N ARMY
One Million Dollars Will Be Spent
for Much Needed Structures
in Various Parts of State.
FUND TO BE FOR HOME USE
Organizations RECORD Overseas En-
titles 1t to Primary Consideration
From Those Generous People
Who Filled the War Chest.

In many communities the Salvation
Army Campaign for Home Service
Funds, scheduled throughout the Ma
ton generally for the week Of May 10,
will be delayed for several days Ow-
ing to the peculiarity Of local situa-
tions, but 1t is apparent beyond any
peradventure that the Army will very
easily achieve its objective, which is
the raising Of approximately one and
half million dollars in the State Of
Ohio for new institutions and personal
work.
OF this fund almost one million dol
lars will be spent in new buildings in
various parts of the State, from which
the Armys intensively helpful activi-
ties can be carried on.
In several counties War Chest funds
are being used to meet the require
ments of the Salvation Army's Cam
paign budget. This substantiates the
well recognized fact that the Saliva
ton Army has particularly strong
claim upon War Chest funds.
When the War Chest was made up
the Army asked for $4,000, 600 for its
overseas work. 1t was allotted one Of
the smallest percentages indicated for
distribution of War Chest money to
the various organizations administer
ed abroad The Army actually got a
little in excess of $4,OO0,OOO. It spent
over twice that much, and this left a
very heavy deficit in army funds for
home use, and as the overseas work
practically stopped all productive ac-
tivity by the Army In the United
States it's need for funds today is un-
usually great for its customary work
When the Salvation Army went over
seas Commander Booth borrowed the
money in New York to finance the
Army's initial work with the Ameri-
can troops Industrial and productive
institutions in this country belonging
to the Army were closed in many cases
because the very best of the Army per-
sonnel went overseas.
The record of the Salvation Army in
overseas work Is admitted by every
body to entitle 1t to primary consid-
Grafton at the hands of those generous
people who filed the War Chest. The
appropriation Of War Chest money for
the Salvation Army Home Service
Fund is just the same as reimbursing
f, the Army the money which 1t spent In
overseas work beyond that small pro-
portion which was given to 1t original
ly out of the War Chest.

WHY COLUMBUS WAS
MADE CENTENARY CITY
Has Largest Percentage CT
Methodists In the World.

What brought the Methodist Cen.
tenary Celebration to Columbus,
June 20 to July 13, is the question in
the minds of 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 25O,OOO 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 tour of mum.
ber Of the principal cities of tho
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
persuade the combined board of digni.
taries of the two churches most in
terested. Then it was up to him to
get an argument that would convince
the bishops, district superintendents
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
100000 Methodists living within two
hours ride of the city of Columbus,
and more than 100000 within a
three-hour ride of the city: 5000, 900
Methodists within an over-night's ride
of the city.
With reference to the Methodist
Church South. it was found that there
was no city the size of Columbus,
even including Baltimore, Washing
ton and Cincinnati. within an equally
convenient railroad distance to as
large proportion Of their member.
hip as Columbus.
These facts laid before the Joint
Centenary commission settled all ar
guments and determined definitely on
Columbus as the site for the Meth
odist Centenary Celebration in June
and July.
