TO RAISE $4,000
Members of the Congrega-

to Do It.

Fifty thousand dollars "a the ouota
which the congregation of the First
Methodist Episcopal church Of this
city VIII raise during the next five
years as its portion Of the Centenary
campaign fund which the denomina-
ton Is going TO raise in this period.
the plan is to have this amount sub
scribed and paid in the period Of five
years.
The move to raise this fund was
inaugurated last night when banquet
was served to the workers in the cam
paign at the church at which time
District Chairman C. W. Evans talked
TO the assembled men and women con.
corning the methods that would be
used to raise this fund.
Teams had been appointed and
pledge cards and literature were dis
tributed. Mr.. Evans In outlining
plans stated that some churches were
thoroughly organized for the cam.
paign while others were tagging be.
hind and did not show the proper
spirit. He urged upon the persons as
semb!ed 1t would take the heartiest
cooperation and good team work to
raise the fund but that he believed Il
would be forthcoming.
The Rev. G. e. Goodwin, pastor Of
the church and director Of the cam.
palgn work, explained the cards and
envelopes to be used in collecting the
money and appointed a meeting to be
held on Sunday when he would fur
Their explain these matters.
Chairman j. M. Jacobs also gave a
brief talk in which he discussed vari.
GUS phases of the campaign.
The meeting last night was a thor
oughly enthusiastic one and Il IL he-
ileved the teams will do their utmost
to raise this fund in the prescribed
time.

BUSINESS ENTERpRlsE.

r VERY once in while some one. usually man Of
business, arises to remark that he does not understand
how the mail order houses manage to build up the huge bu
nesses they have. Il is possible these people are sincere in
their inquiries but the secret of mail order success is very
simple Most of these mercantile enterprises were built up
from very modest beginnings by the simple process Of keep
ing everiangy after business and when they land deal
ing with it along correct principles
Nothing escapes the drag net which they now sweep over
the country. For instance, the agitation to bring about
building boom in this city probably has not made much Of
an impression upon large number Of the people in the
city, but has not escaped the careful eye Of the mail
order houses. and Famont people who are apt to be
interested building have been recipients Of catalogues and
circular letters which call attention to the fact that The mail
order houses prepared compete with local merchants
in furnishing practically every conceivable kind Of building
material.
One of the more powerful Chicago institutions of this
character goes for to offer not only to supply
the material but lend some cash to the prospective home
builder to help pay the freight labor and material the
finn does not furnish All this they offer to do in return
for monthly payments running over period Of FIVE years
and interest at 6 per cent upon the firms outlay
Naturally the firm will demand, and get, very hand
some figure for everything SELLS and in the end the house
will cost more than if It were built by local people and
financed through the ordinary local channels but the point
about the proposition that the Chicago people are going
right after the business They do not expect to come to
them. If more local businesses were run with equal cou-
and initiative there would be prosperous merchants
in the small towns and smaller dividends for the people
who own stock in the mail order corporations.

TORN oUT. SERVICE MEM

is 10 be hoped that the returned service men in Marion
county will take the view that it is an evidence of pro-
per public spirit and therefore the right thing to do to
march the parade to be held here on Memorial day in
honor of the soldiers sailors and marines who went from
this county.
ey does them credit but if very many of them decided to
stand the ebs and watch the rest march by the parade
would be a failure
The celebration is in honor Of all the men who went from
this county. the who got no further than the canton
less than those who got clear over and know what
actual battle experience is Moreover. the public espe-
caly the relatives Of the men. want to see them IN the
parade.
Therefore the men who went and were fortunate enough
back ought disregard any feelings they may have
against such display and fill in the coupon and then make
il point to be on hand for the march around.

The American Federation of Art has a great scheme
1t is going to take art on tour of the country to the
end that the people who live the back country may
learn at least the fundamentals never can tell just
what agent tale really means and this has all

with capital is to be taken to ST. Louis Kansas City
Denver and the oil towns of Oklahoma and Texas the
public will enjoy the joke those towns, but If it
that art exhibitions to be held rural

but the opportunities to paintings merit are
tremely limited in such communities.

FAMILY REUNIONS.

IS little early for family reunions which flourish most
usurandy the fall but every one who takes an interest
in folks and especially in West Virginia folks, will feel
little more cheerful to note that the family reunion crop
for 1919 Is coming along apace.
The custom of holding family reunions was growing
rapidly IN West Virginia when the war struck the country
clans and tribes were getting together and learning
to know each other and the family history better. Every
body pro6ted by the better feeling and closer cooperation,
social and commercial. which resulted.
