SuB:DlSTRlCT CONFERENCE
HELD AT N. E. CHURCH
About Thirty Out-of- Town Delegates
Attend Centenary Conference
Plans Laid for Work.

A meeting Of the sub-district cen
tenary conference of the Milk River
district Of the Methodist church was
in session Wednesday and Thursday of
this week. DR.. Worthington L.
Slutz of Ohio who is chairman of the
centenary team for Montana, DR..
Bernhart of India, DR.. Van Orsdel of
Great Falls and Rev. Philo Haynes al
so of Great Falls were the principal
speakers.
All the pastors from the district
covered were in attendance with the
exception of the Opheim pastor. This
included c. P. Shenefelt of Malta, AL
ex Muirden of Saco, C. A. Rock of
Hinsdale, N. S. Hollis of Culbertson,
Miss Moore of Oswego and Roy Mel
son of Wolf Point. In addition to
these there were about twenty lay
delegates.
The emphasis of the meeting was
placed upon the centenary movement,
which is one of the greatest things
ever undertaken by any church. The
meaning of the term centenary"
comes from the fact that it is just one
hundred years since the Methodist
church started in its missionary work,
with n lone missionary, and at pres.
ent there are $4,000. The object of
the movement is to greatly increase
activities of this branch of their la.
bors during this reconstruction per-
iod.
The first evening was spent in two

vice in Christian work.
The following resolution was pre-
scented by C. P. Shenefelt and unani-
mously adopted:
"Whereas, we, the members and
delegates of the subdistrict confer
ence, feel that we have been wond-
erously blessed in our attendance at
this meeting.
"Be it resolved, That we express
our gratitude to the people of Glas-
gov for their open hearts and open
homes, which has made us feel that
we are of you as we'll as among you.
"That we appreciate the efforts of
the pastor and his co-workers which
has assured the success Of these meet
ings.
"That we thank the Ladies' Aid for
the splendid repast which rejoiced the
palate as we'll as the soul this eve
ming.
"That we congratulate ourselves
and express our gratitude for the priv
ilege of having with US such men of
vision to guide and direct US as
Brothers Haynes, Bernhart and Slutz,
who have broadened our vision and
inspired US to greater action"

the benefit. All of these people r
people of means, many of them con-
troll millions. Do you think they fail
ed to see opportunities for profitable
investment?
He told how one hunting trip had
resulted in the building of nine hun
dred miles of railroad and the invest
ment of over six million dollars in
other development, and said "Mon-
tana has the best natural playground
on the continent, and should at once
capitalize upon it. It's worth untold
millions to the state, and outside of
Glacier and Yellowstone parks, it has
not been brought to the notice of the
world. It would be one of the first
duties of this new organization to do
So"
He stated that the organization
should have a directorate Of forty
three, one from each county, and that
it must be kept free from politics or
influences Of any kind, and that it's
only purpose must be the sane, meth
odical upbuilding of the state. He
advised securing the ablest men pos
sible to head the several departments,
paying. the salaries necessary to get
these men from any part of the Unit
ed States.
ut is a big job" said he; cit will
take brains to carry it out, and brains
are always in demand and must be
paid for. The day of the small man
on such a job has passed. Do this big
job in a big, masterful way " leave
it entirely alone. My superintendent
gets $4,000 per year and is the cheap
est man in my factory"
He stated that the promise of sup
port given by the wealthy men of the
state indicates that there will be lit
tie trouble in raising a fund in the
state big enough to do the work on
a big enough scale to bring very sat
isfactory results.

five-minute speeches, one by Miss
Moore on "The Centenary in a Small
Town." and the other by o. P. Shene-
felt on "The Minute Man in Action"
Then came an able illustrated lecture
by DR.. Bernhart on the subject "The
World" in which he showed the needs
and the opportunities of the various
missionary countries.
DR.. Worthington B. Slutz of Ohio
presided at all meetings Of the con-
ference, and gave much helpful infor-
nation, having shown himself cap
able Of answering all the many ques-
tons asked him in regard to the work.
The morning sessions were taken up
with the detail work in regard to the
surveys and lists to be made for the
commencement of the centenary cam
paign, together with an excellent ad-
dress on practical evangelism by Alex
Muirden, and one on the making of
a constituency list by the local pastor,
R. H. Stone.
R. H. Stone "a made group cap
tain for the subdistrict and Alex Muir
den was made captain of the Sunday
schools for the same area, after which
Dr.. Slutz gave an inspiring address
on financing the church.
The afternoon was taken up with a
business meeting and several address,
es on the centenary organization in
the Sunday school, P. w. Haynes,
Sunday school missionary, c. A. Rock
and N. S. Hollis making this part of
the program both interesting and in

INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
IN NORTHERN MONTANA

The chief industries, or resources
in northern Montana are its fine ag-
ricultural lands, both dry and irri-
gated lands. The irrigated lands I'M
der the Milk River Valley project
are the finest in the west, but have
not yet been developed as they are
destined. With these improvements
on this project so that the lands can
be developed there is no doubt as to
the prosperity and continued growth
of this section.
Existing conditions are favorable
for large crops. The sugar beet in
dustry has proven a wonderful sue
cess in Montana. AS yet it is only
an experiment on the Milk River Pro-
Ject, the main reason being there is
no market. But sugar beets grown in
this valley tested very high per cent
of sugar.
Wheat, alfalfa, oats, rye, hay and
all kinds of vegetables average an
immense yield.
This country is fast becoming the
great alfalfa and wheat country of
the west.
At the Montana State Fair in 1918,
Valley county sugar beets exhibited
won all premiums offered. In addi-
ton to the premiums won on sugar
beets, the exhibits from Valley coun-
ty Won first on flax and alfalfa, and
three firsts on corn.
In all, Valley county won 70 prem
iums including second on county ex.
hibits of vegetables and root crops
against the state.
With crop conditions not as gooc
the past year, owing to poor distri'
button of rainfall, this county grew
some excellent grains and vegetables
which was evidence by the premiums
won. With crops as good as these dur
ing a poor year, it only proves that
the further growth and development
OF this country is assured.
