Editorial

Teach the children of
Santa Claus. Inspire
them with the belief
that there is a spirit
that enters the hearts
of folks at this season
of the year and gives
them a more kindly
feeling toward their
fellow beings.
And, it is no myth
that you are telling of.
If there is no Santa
Spirit can you explain
why it is that every
family in our vast
country sets December
25th aside for the Civ
ing Of love tokens?
Can you tell why
your gift list is always
twice as long as you
intended it to be. if
there is no Santa

Can you even guess
at the cause of the
spirit of good fellow
ship which exists dur

PRAYERS of Thousands Offered
Daily For Centenary Success
By Fellowship Organizations
Methodists Enlist Tithers and
Intercessors by Thousands
in New York, Pennsylvania,
West Virginia and Virginia

Methodist Centenary campaigners
are nearing their goal in the stew
ardship campaign which viii come to
q climax on Palm Sunday, April Is,
which has been set aside in the
church drive as Intercession Day. On
that date the campaigners in the
Pittsburgh area hope to have enlist

Of Intercession. From incomplete re-

in Pittsburgh by DIR. Appleton Bash,
executive secretary, ii is evident that
more than one-fourth the number al,
ready has enrolled.
Rev. DR.. George L. Farrar, secre-
tary of stewardship in the area. de,
elares that every place where the
stewardship campaign has been start
ed according to the program it has
been success. In some districts
there has been delay in starting the
program but he anticipates no fail
ures by the individual churches in
the area
In the Erie conference OF the
church there were enrolled on March
i5, S,015 intercessors, in the
Pittsburgh conference 8.O45 and In
the West Virginia conference 1919.
To this total of 1853 must be added
the names of several thousands
whose pledges are being received
weekly and whose pledge cards have
poured in so rapidly that it is inn
possible to get them recorded.
The campaign for 50,223 tithers in
the area also is progressing well. re-
ports DR.. Farrar When the March
report was made up, including rec
ords of all tithers enrolled up to
February 2S. the number in the Pitts
burgh area was 4,139 At this time
there were many churches morgan.

tithers were received within two

paint referred to is the common or

1t is true, though, that in the sections
of all states where white illiteracy is

SOON WILL BE OF THE PAST
Georgia Wild Cows Seem to Have
Served Their Purpose, and Are
Fast Disappearing.

The ns"9v woods cow, long chum
Of til +; back 'e",, is fading from
the G fa'gia landscape. It is a poign-
ant thought. She is one of the last
links that binds Georgia to the past.
Thousands of her roamed over the
great plantations that would now be
condemned as undemocratic. She was
usually red and white-a "pided" COW
inclined to have a poor figure, hump
backed and somewhat knockkneed, and
her eyes were closely situated, in the
manner which psychologists shake
their heads over, because it indicates
the criminal bent. But upon the piney
woods cow Georgia in the old days
depended entirely for milk and but
ter. Many planters had hundreds Of
them, but they all ran wild, and one
Of the spring sports was to round
them up and mark them. If choice
specimen should be captured, she was
hard to feed, being unaccustomed to
civilized fodder, for piney woods cows
eat grass in summer and souse their
heads up to the eyes in ponds in the
winter, looking for water grass and
moss. They always have a forlorn
air. Many Of them still dwell on the
Islands of Banks mill pond, which
covers thousands of acres, and butch
ers OF Valdosta hunt them with horses
ana dogs.-New York Post.

ADMIRAL UPSHUR
Retired AFTER
LONG SERVICE
UNITED Press Service)

NEW YORK, April Rear Ad-
miral Nathaniel R. Usher, command
ant of the Third Naval District, was
today placed on the inactive list and
fretred from the army after nearly
forty-eight years of service.
Admiral Usher reached the age
|limit-sixty-four years-today, and
when he goes 'off watch" for the
lst time he will have behind him one
of the longest Continuous service
records of any officer or man in the
navy.
His present plans are to retire to
his home in Potsdam, N. Y. He is a
native of Indiana, having been ap-
pointed to the U. S. Naval Academy
from that state.
Rear Admiral James H. Glennon,
former commandant at the Puget
Sound Navy Yard, succeeds Read Ad-
miral Usher here, while Captain Har-
ry A. Field will take charge of the
Pacific station.
Prior to his appointment as COM
mandant of the Third District, in
September, 1916, Admiral Usher was
commandant at the Norfolk Navy
Yard having been assigned to land
duty permanently after successfully
the fourth, second and
third Divisions of the Atlantic fleet.
He was appointed to his present
rank September ID, 1911, and imme-
diately after was assigned to the
of the Naval Examination
Board, later giving up the appoint
ment to return to sea service.
During the Spanish-American war
Admiral Usher was in command of
the torpedo boat Erricson, then sta
Toned in Florida waters and the first
vessel to bring the news of the sink
ng of the Maine in Havana harbor.

At Last!

There are few cyclists who, when
compelled to execute repairs to inner
tubes by the roadside, have not longed
for unpuncturable tires. This desid-
eratum now seems to have become an
accomplished fact in Sweden, where
the shortage Of rubber has caused
great efforts to be made to find a SAT-
isfactory substitute for the pneumatic
tire. The new device consists of a
thin strip Of hardened steel supported
on the rim by springs, the combination
being said to give results comparable
with those obtained by the use of rub
Der. Skidding is prevented by the
sharp edge Of the steel tread, while
such tires are, Of course, quite un.
puncturable. Whether the new device
VIII survive when rubber again be-
comes plentiful is perhaps doubtful.
but as wartime measure 1t has
proved very useful.-From Chambers

STATE WIDE.
SOCIALISM

Through the bank will be conduct
ed the states new farm loan organi-
zation-fnanced by a $10,O00,000 bond
issue. There's a $4,000 loan limit
for establishing farm homes and a
I$5, 900 loan limit for building city
homes under the home building asso-
citation provisions.
Probably the next big step of the
industrial commission will be organi..
zation and construction of state-own-
ed and operated elevators and flour
mills. They can be erected, not only
within the state, but at any point the
commission thinks a terminal eleva-
tor is necessary to the interests of
the farmers.
To finance these projects, bill
was passed authorizing the issuance
|of $17,000,000 worth of bonds. The
authorization was divided to give
$10,O00,O0O for rural credits financ-
ing; 100000 for the state bank and
100000 for mills and elevators
The bonds must be retired within 80
years. Payment of the interest and
income on the $17,OOO,OOO authorize
tons is guaranteed through provision
for an annual tax levy to make up
any deficit in the earnings of the
utilities which they are to finance. An
interes and sinking fund of 81, 100000
er annum will be required to retire
the bonds in 30 years.
The state mill and elevator admi-
istration will not be limited to ope-
alton of mills and eevators, but may
stablish oher marketing facilities
for farm products. Not more than
100000 of the $5,0O0,O0O authori-
alton is expeceed to be launched this
