MUCH INTEREST IN
CENTENARY MOVEMENT

interest increases in the local
budget of the great centenary move
ment. Pullman Methodists are asked
to pay to home and foreign Christian
ization $2337. This with other be-
neyolences of women's and other So
cleties will make more than $4,000
per year, but with the vision of
world need the people of the church
are pushing hard
The Easter drive for members
brought over 90 accessions. This in
cludes some whose letters are yet to
come. This splendid response is IN
indication of the eagerness with
which the people respond as q great
er vision is built up.
Interest is now centered on the
prayer and tithing movements which
are just beginning in earnest. Eighty
persons have already pledged for
more earnest prayer and 40 for tith-
ing. 1t is expected that these num-
bers will be largely increased, es-
pecially the number of tithers, as
the campaign for intercessors has
been pushed first. The next three
weeks will show results in this re-
spect.

member of the nationwide club of
those who have achieved worthwhile
things, and he knows that he is fit

COWS YIELD MORE IF
MIXED TO MUSIC

New York, Oct. 3.-To prove that
music has power to induce a COW to
yield an extra amount of milk, a
test was made Saturday at the Elec-
trical exposition by H. NJ. Harvey, in
charge of the electrical dairy eX-
habit.
The tests were made with the
thoroughbred Guernsey and Hol-
skein cows, which after being MIXED
were induced to give an extra
amount by being MIXED to music.
Other cows which were being milk
ed to the accompaniment of phono-
graph music were said to have
10 to ~ per cent more than their
average yield
Classical music seemed to be most
appreciated by the cows. One of the
Holsteins under the influence of the
compositions of Mozart and Beet
hoven gave forty-fve quarts of milk
in twenty-four hours, according to
the judges.
