other words the proposed new church
is to become the community center
where all are welcome and expected
to come. 1t is understood that if the
new plan succeeds the present Metho-
dist church will be returned to the
Methodist state organization and the
local organization dishanded.
The favor with which the plan has
thus far been received leads to the be-
lief that it will be pursued to a sue
cess. Without any subscriptions be-
ing asked, almost $4,000 has already
been subscribed. This amount has
came from eight individuals who upon
hearing the plan discussed, have asked
that they be put down for that "a
mount.
The finance committee will soon be-
gin its work and it will not be long
until it will be possible to determine
whether or not the $4,000 can be
raised

HUNS FAKE UNITED
STATES GOODS, REPORT
AMERICAN HARDWARE IMITAT-
ED AND SOLD IN TURKEY.

Methods used by German business
in its commercial penetration of Tur-
key are described in a bulletin entitl-
ed, 'Turkish Markets for American
Hardwore." issued by the Bureau of
Foreign and domestic Commerce.
German endeavors in this field, says
the report, have been determined and
adroit. Systematic dumping, exten-
sive imitation of patented American
articles and a persistent and carefully
organized solicitation. Of the trade
have been salient features in the Ger
man campaign to dominate the Tur-
kish markets and link them firmly to
the industrial activities of the Teuton-
ic nations.
As is the case with various other i'm
portant lines, American hardware has
not as rule been sold directly to the
Turkish distributor. In normal times
it is sold through few firms in Ham
burg and Bremen. These concerns
have house. in New York, but it is
erroneous to consider them as Ameri-
can export organizations.
They are German jobhers, working
according to German methods and for
: German interests. They ship An1eli-
can articles to Turkey only If they
cannot be replaced on the Same terms
by German articles. Uuder such
! conditions it is an easy matter to
market limitations Of American goods
and the Germans are master iu.itators
according to the author Of the govern
ment report, Ccunsul General G. B.
Rayndal, formerly at Constantinople
Sometimes their catalogs show Ameri-
can articles on one page and the Ger
man imitation on the opposite page
with the advantages Of price, quick

TO BUILD FINE
new CHURCH
IN COUNTY
PROPOSITION FOR ACOMMUN-
ITY BUILDING NOW UP TO THE
PEOPLE.
(Starkweather Times.)

If plans which are now being de-
veloped work out satisfactorily. Stark
weather will have a fine new Com
munity church next summer. The
proposition has been talked and dis
cussed for the past three years but the
war has made it necessary to hold it
in abeyance. However, since the end
ing of the war the idea has again
come into the foreground and during
the past week it has taken definite
shape and form.
The first action taken was the an
ipointment of a finance committee
whose duty it was to decide on an
amount practical to raise and then 20
out and raise it. In the event that the
finance committee is unable to raise
! the amount considered necessary to
build church plant of the character
desired, the proposition will in all
probability be dropped.
| The finance committee appointed,
met Tuesday evening and discussed
the matter thoroughly. 1t was decided
that the sum Of $4,000 would be
sought with AN oversubscription of as
much as possible. The committee de-
cided upon five year payment plan
which will make the pledges payable
one-tifth each for five years. Another
detail decided was that Liberty bonds
should be taken at their face value in
in payment Of subscriptions.
+, In few days committees will cam
vass the various districts Of the COM
munity in the interest of the propo-
sition. If the $4,000 can be raised
Ithe work of erecting the new church
twill begin sisoon as possible in the
lspring.
! The idea Of Community. CHURCH
| is an idea that is meeting favor more
and more over the country at the
\ present time 1t is recognized that q
multitude of church organizations in
leach small community tends to de-
strov the efficiency Of all.
If community Church is erected
here it will be entirely Independent
from all denominations exccnt SC
much as is necessary for the securing
of pastors. The various benevolenct
funds will be placed with the denon'in-
ations designated by the donors, the
pastors will be selected with regard
solely to their qualifications and not
their affiliations, and the church will
be intended to serve the purposes OF
|all sects. One prominent advocate OF
the n)an pointed out that the propose
new church would be available for the
use Of any religious organization al
iany time it was not being used. The
ministers of all denominations would
be welcome and expected to make use
of the plant.
Another idea that has been very
generally discussed is for the church
plant to contain a we'll equipped gym
nasium for the use Of everyone, and
rooms will also be provided for differ
ent functions and entertainments. In

NEW ERA"
MOVEMENT IS, !.
EXPLAINED D.
REV. TORBET SENDS
INTERESTING REPORT OF
PRESBYTERIAN MEETING

Rev. Albert Torbet has just return
to his new home from Minneapolis,
where he attended a great district
conference of the Presbyterian New
Era Movement.
ut was an inspiring event., he told
the reporter, "and the message 1 send
back to my former home is sure to
accomplish much good for our church a
els the New Era Movement deei9p1
ed to make Presbyterians of ev
body?" E-s
"Not at all. The new Era Move
ment is simply a real, live, united
movement of all the 1,631 ,74S Presby-
terian communicates in the United
States towards accomplishing the
tremendous task confronting the
church as a result of the world war"
"What is that task?"
"The betternent Of mankin m
ways that the world war has yet ed
to accomplish. The war was ,ht
for Christian ideals. Now that the
war is won, it is the churcll's duty to
carry out these ideals to their ulti-
mate fulflllment." .,
"What practical steps will the
Presbyterians take?"
GAS a sample of the church's new
conception Of its relation to world af-
fairs, the Presbyterians will spend
S500.0O0 for the relief of stricken
Protestant churches in the war zone
and $500.000 on returning soldiers
who went to the war from Presbyter-
ian homes. They plan to utilize the
resources within the Church tc in
crease by 100 per cent their expend-
lures for educational benevolent and
missionary work. They propose 70
spend s13,000,O0o this year and per-
haps S75 ,000,C00 in five years. The
Presbyterians believe that in five
years the New Era Movement can ac-
con1plisl more for humanity than the
the war has accomplished with all it's
sacrifices although the war was a nee
cssa1y preliminary work. And they
arc n7arshaling all their forces as
comrades Of the New Era for world
wide crusade under the banner of
thci' Prince Of Peace"
"Is the church doing anything for
its r2inisters?"
! ayes. It plans to increase under
! paid pastors salaries s1,OCO,0OO this
wear. The s13 100000 for the church
boards is only q norton of the church
expense Tho total budget for this
voar viii rcal7v be 100000 of which
! s27,o0o0oo will be required for local
church expenses"
"Fow will our town benefit by this
Me-" Era n1overent?"
! "Through the recreation of the
spirit of fellowship and brotherhood
among our own nepole, through the
thinking by eacl, individual of his per-
sonal duty in community terms, thru
the solving of such local neighborhood
and socia! problems as confronts US,
thru the Christianizng of the COM
munitv. The New Era movement is
essentially a spiritual force, cultivat-
ing personal and home virtues, reviv-
ing the family altar. evangelizing the
people, spreading the GOSPEL through
the community. and administering
practical aid and comfort to those in
need or distress"
elias not the church always consid-
cred these things it's duty?"
"The church has been, like the
American people, giant not exerting
its full power. The war woke up
| America. The New "a movement is
the 1esistless force of the re-awakened
Church +o wiz, tho world for Chric+"
