Zion Church Celebrates
Successful Campaign

The intensive financial ,ampaign
of the Centenary Movement was brou
ght to a successful conclusion last
night on schedule time, by the cap
tains and workers OF Zion EIethodist
Episcopal Church. The victory was
fttingly celebrated in a surprise
party" given to the some forty spe-
cial workers of the campaign. When
the reports Were all tabulated the
acting chairman invited the captains
and their helpers into an adjoining
room of the church, where refresh
ments were served upon beautifully
decorated tables, made ready during
the afternoon. The happy throng
sang "Blest Be the Tie That Binds
Our Hearts in Christian Love-" then
when the refreshments had been par
taken, speeches were in order. The
captains and minute men. and others,
spoke feelingly of the joy they had
found in service of this kind, and of
the gladness of all to participate in
this great movement. Reports were
made of the District, and of the area,
and of the church at large. Much
enthusiasm was manifest at times, as
reports were announced or speaker
would make telling point, but the
climax came when the acting chair
man reported that Zion Church not
only had again done herself credit
in that she had raised her quota of
1864 year for five years. but that
she had reached the magnificent to-
tai to date of s4.14S.5O. or in round
numbers, about $4,000 for the five
years from this church.
The chairman recalled the fact
that less than six months ago a IL
was made in which,
under the adverse conditions of cpl
demic, nearly $4,000 was subscrib-
ed on a one year basis, so that with
in six months this church has made
subscriptions OF some $4,000 for
Indebtedness and special work, be-
sides closing the conference year
with all obligations met in full, and

After many expressions OF fellcl-

HONOR FOR ALL

1t is impossible for any person with a fairly we'll bal
anced mind to read a truthful account of any Of the
large military operations in Europe in which American
soldiers participated without being impressed, first. with
the magnificent manner in which our men acquitted
themselves, and. second, with the splendid cooperation
which existed between the Americans and the European
soldiers who had fought long and well before Americans
entered the struggle. A few days ago Senator Wads-
worth of New York, in a noteworthy address, gave to the
senate some of the results of his own observations in the
war zone. The address was, as it was intended to be,
largely on appreciation Of the American soldier. But it
was more than that. 1t was an elucidation of the fact
that the american soldier was a participant in a war for
humnity, and that associated with him in honorable and
effective endeavor were the soldiers of Britain, Of France.
of Italy. and Of the lesser countries which had Joined
either to throw off the Teutonic yoke or to prevent it
from being imposed upon the world.
Senator Wadsworth spoke of the bravery and the
efficiency with which the Allies met, time after time, the
arrived. He told of the manner in which the American
troops, on their arrival, depended for many Of their sup
plies on the older and better equipment of the British AMI
French. He might have told of the transportation of 81
per cent Of our forces in British ships, and Of the fact
that it was the power of the British grand fleet that
made possible the transportation of our men at all. He
made special mention Of several engagements in which
American divisions were reinforced at critical moments
by French, English or colonial troops, and how in other
cases it was our men who stepped in, in the nick Of time
and supported their comrades.
The facts brought out in the address are not new
OR strange. But they constitute an incidental, but con.
elusive answer to the offensive statement made by Speak.
er Clark a few days earlier to the effect that American
soldiers had licked Germany fer the other European
powers.

WEATHER S%PECULATIONS.

The groundhoog, II there had been one here, couldn't
have seen his shadow in the vicinity OF Grand Forks on
Sunday, which was the proper day for him to come out
and look for 1t, We have this on the authority Of sew.
oral people who, kept close track. OF the weather all that
fateful day. and who should know. The conclusion.
therefore, is that we are not to have the six weeks of
severe winter weather that would have followed had the
shadow been visible, but that. on the contrary, tho re-
mainder Of the winter will be mild and balmy. with a
very early spring.
Ninety-nine people out Of a hundred, II asked point
blank II they believed in the grounding theory, would
deny such credulity. But in the supconsciousness Of not
a few Of the number there would nevertheless turk 1t
least some slight measure of faith in it, so dihicult is it
for US to separate ourselves from the superstitions of our
ancestors.
Fables such as this cannot be argued out Of exist
ence. nor would the attempt be worth while. We must
believe in something, and it probably does us little harm
to give a measure of belief to the weather wisdom of the
grounding. Neither does one make much headway in
trying to dissipate the belief that the weather extremes
of one season are likely to be- counterbalanced by op-
posite extremes in the next, or that the birds Of the air,
the beasts of the field, and the trees of the forest have
foreknowledge of tn wather. and make adequate prepara-
ton for it.
Taking the country over, last winter was a long. hard
stormy winter. This winter has thus far been very mild
throughout the greater part of North America. That
fact will afford sufficient confirmation Of the belief that
opposite extremes follow each other. and the belief will
not be shaken at all by the following of half a dozen
severe or mild winters in close succession.
The myth of the foreknowledge Of the weather by
animals and plants is disproved every season. but it per-
sists. Nature is really notorious for the lack of weather
sense with which she has equipped most Of her creatures.
The wild fowl are deceived by unreasonable warm wealth
er in the spring, and journey northward weeks in ad-
vance of their proper time; and are often compelled to
turn back several shines, while it is no rare thing for the
birds to be frozen fast in the ponds to which they have
migrated too early. During this present winter, a little
farther south the mild weather started vegetation out
of season, and plants that put forth their shoots, had
them unceremoniously snapped off by the succeeding
frosts. The bark on the trees is thicker, and the fur on
the wild animals is warmer, not because there is going to
be a hard winter, but because there has been a summer
in which the conditions are right for the growth of bark
and fur. And such a season is as likely to be followed
by a mild winter as by a severe one.
