of the membership OF the church
enrolled as life-work recruits. The
second, for 10 per cent Of the MEM
bership enrolled as tithers, and the
third, for 10 per cent increase in
the membership during the life dedi-
cation period. While all reports are
not in for these three detectives,
enough are in to make it clearly evil
dent that every objective has been
safely passed.
The period for the special effort
for the millions part of the cam
paign, which is $50 per member, is
scheduled to begin April Is, but al

WINNIPEG, MAN.-Fruit grow
ing is becoming more extensive year
by year in Manitoba and the province
gradually is making a place for itself
as a fruit producing country.
uccess in fruit growing has been
due to selection Of hardy base types
from which to breed fruits especially
ad.. pied to the climate. The Can
adian National Railways have made
sdefnite efforts to widen the scope of
farming and increase the individual
farmers revenues by encouraging
fruit growing with the result that
many farms along its lines now have
prosperous orchards of apple, plum
and cherry trees and gardens filled
with variety Of small fruits.

WASHINGTON. April 2S:-As the
first of July approaches. the Begin

preparations for the ensuing twelve
month period take effect, congress
men are finding themselves besieged
from their home districts" and
showered with letters and kilograms
from their voting constituency back
home b~espeaking Influence" for
the retention of government employ
es In their present positions in the
government service at Washington.
For there is to be material reduc-
ton after July l in the great govern
mental force at the national capital
which was built up by the war and
thousands of Jobs are to be abol-
ished by the very simple process of
cutting off the appropriations there
for. There will not be sufficient num-
Der OF holes for the pegs, and some
of the peg will have 70 go. The
and who shall stay. Many of them
are willing to go, but most Of them
desire to remain.
Some wag in congress, years ago,
in discussing the status OF employees
in the government departments at
Washington, said that few die and
none resign The fact is, that after
men and women have been in the
departments here for years, most of
them find that they must stay on un-
til they die, because there is nothing
for them to do in the busy world out
side of Washington should they re-
sign. And, furthermore. great num-
bers of them tax the government
positions in the first place under
- - N-r,xs1a daily
bread for others dependent upon
them, and there never m a mo-
ment when they dare resign; they
have TO keep their nose to the grind
stone, willy nilly.
When the United States entered
the war in 1917 1t became necessary
at once to vastly expend the person.
mel of the government departments,
especially of the war and navy.
Everything conferred at Washington.
all efforts were directed from this
point. Before that the departments
were being, u on an economy basis,
and every bureau had complained for
years of being undermined.
But additional employees had to be
taken in at once by scores of thou
sands In fact, the additions to the
government rolls in the capital city
alone were figured to be something
| over 100, 900. They were brought
| here from every section of the coun-
try and included people from all
| walks of life. For the major part,
| they were young women, since males
| of like age were subject to the selec-
| tive draft for the army. They were
| not only invited to como but were
| urged, as a patriotic duty. q TO
Washington and do your Bit was the
/ admonition seen on most every Dill
| board in the land.
