workers is absorbed in the canvass OF
the purely church field. But now that
the work in the churches is either COM
pleted or well under way it is expected
that men from the church teams can
be drawn into Il No-Man's-Land com
mittce. and that this committee organ
lied from the various town centers of
the county may make a systematic can
yass of Hamilton county. This is the
program for the other counties OF the
United States, and it is expected that
the meeting tonight may lay the
Foundation for such a canvass.

A START FOR
over THE TOP
Webster City Churches Be-
gin Financial Drive
in Interchurch
Movement.
START is MADE
The Canvassing Teams Visit
Homes During the
Afternoon.

Yesterday the Baptist, United Breth'
rem, Methodist and Congregational
churches of Webster City got a start
for 0ver the top in the great inter
church financial drive which took
place yesterday all over the United
States. The local drive began at
O'Clock in the afternoon, when the can
wasting teams met in their W
churches for praycr-and assignment.
The local drive was seriously inter
fered with by the big fire which occur
red early Sunday morning. On account
of the fire morning congregations
which should have been larger than
usual, were rather small, many people
having been up to see the fire and re-
turning to bed had slept late. In the
Afternoon the %canvassers found many
people not at home, having gone out
to see the ruins of the fire. But not
withstandins this handicap, all teams
uniformly report universal good feel
ing and large success.
The Different Churches.
To. the United Brethren church of
Webster City belongs the honor of be-
ing the first church in Webster City,
and probably in Hamilton county, to go
over the top. Enthusiastic teams
were out and returned to the church
with a report of $2,O3O.2O in cash and
subscriptions. The quota Of the church
was $1,7OO, $$ss3O!.2O over the top. The
United Brethren subscriptions cover
two years.
Excellent reports are in from the
United Brethren church at Mulberry
Center, where the organization is par
ticularly effective. at this country
church the shows $3.50 pledged
Of a quota of $3.50, being a little
than half the quota. This will be rails
ed during the week. and the Mulberry
church will go over the top. The Null
berry Center church is doing a fine bit
OF work in ".NO-Man's-Land.' 1t is
more than likely that the subscriptions
from the Friendly Citizens Group in
this neighborhood will exceed the
amount raised from the church mem
bers constituency.
Reports from the Oak Glen United
Brethren church are incomplete. at
this writing Oak Glen reports about
$500 subscribed of a quota OF $715.
When these reports are in later today
the likelihood is that Oak Glen will be
two-thirds over the top. The canvas
will be continued during the week, and
by next Sunday Oak Glen will be Over
the top.
The finest bit of work and the hard
est in the local campaign was done yes
terday by the teams working in the
Baptist constituency. The quota OF the
Baptist church is $2S,720 OH Il basis
of payments covering five years. Teams
fl ION the Baptist church were out after
this amount yesterday, and In spite OF
the handicap growing out of the big
fire they met with very satisfactory
success. With reports from some
teams out of the count the Baptist peO-

full systematic canvass of the commun-
ity is being made, and by the end Of
the week it is expected that the large
Baptist quota will have been raised.
The Congregational canvass is for
one year only. Not all the teams have
been heard from. At the evening ser
vice last night, Henry Teget, director
of the campaign, reported that the af-
ternoon canvass had yielded the sum Of
$1,000. The Congregational quota IS

the interchurch campaign, reports good
news all down the Hamilton county
line. If Hamilton county is a fair
type of conditions over the United
States it is more than likely that final
national reports will show that the to-
tai budget of the interchurch financial
drive has been reached.
Up to date there has been but little
work done III Hamilton county in the
purely interchurch field. There is a
meeting Of laymen called for the base

 Samples of character cloth" were inclosed in a booklet, which says: Character cloth is guaranteed not to fade, not to shrink and seldom to wear out.'
 C. H. Deal. the writer of the letter and secretary treasurer of the organ ization, says: As soon as we can get a few more styles ready we will make larger sample book especially for you and send it to you to interest your people in what we are doing with Pima cotton"
 Mir.

Some mention has been made in these columns of the fact that the of fec of Chief Justice Cunningham, be- ginning today, will be turned over to the scribes for a press gallery with all the freedom that the chief justice was able to confer, with the single reserva- tion that he will retain the key to the cellar, for cellars have now become sacred places, It was at first intended to reserve the closets with which an minimizing or too much thinking archi- tect endowed the justices chambers as well as all other parts of the new wing where he could possibly find an excuse for installing q closet.
 Only once has anybody ever made any other use of any of the closets than to swear at them for being in the way.

INCREASED STORAGE IF EGGS HERE AIDS
 POULTRY INDUSTRY

The increased number of Salt River valley eggs stored this year helped the poultry industry and the outlook at present is the best in years, it was stated at the Phoenix chamber of con- merce yesterday. Storage began the last of February, when the egg season was at peak, taking off the market the surplus that otherwise would have lowered prices.
 The chamber reports the quality of eggs much improved and that i've are approaching the adoption of a stan dard for eggs Some of the larger dealers are paying premium for in fertile eggs, uniform in size and color delivered in good shape. This is the encouragement that the producers have needed, as it was of little use to pro duce good eggs if the culIs, dirty ones and small ones sold at the same price as the best. Then there are a number of retailers making a specially Of sell ing guaranteed eggs. thus helping to large extent in educating the con- sumner.
 "A modern fattening and killing plant has developed recently. It is equipped to care for any quantity of poultry al any time and nay the high est price. It furnishes an outlet the valley never had before and has a ten dency to stabilize the market condi- tions for live poultry.
 
 growing interest in the poultry raising industry in other parts of the state es pecial1y in the northern sections.
 Some of the poultry dealers in the valley are realizing more and more that the valley has exceptional oppor- tunities in the breeding of first class stock. opportunities not found in any other part of the country. The valley can hatch in January and February and mature birds earlier in the fall than the breeders in the east are able to do.
 Within the next few years the val ley will be producing birds so far su- perior to the birds with which they compete in the eastern shows that the valley will secure a reputation as being the nursery, as it were, for the na- tion's poultry breeding. This is per haps an extreme optimistic view. but it is borne out by the experiences of some of the valleys breeders.
 "W. r. Fetterly has been appointed superintendent of the poultry depart ment Of the Arizona state fair at the request of the Maricopa County Poul- try association and is now planning for the best show ever held in Arizona. All poultry interests are backing MT. Fetteriy."
