MILLION DELEGATES TO ATTEND 1000
MEETINGS TO DISCUSS MTERCHURCH PLANS
Bulk of Counties in the United States Will Have Confer
ences to Solve Problems of Unchurched Areas, Waste
full Implications and Underpaid Preachers.

more or less unpalatable truths con
corning unchurched areas, or wasteful
competition, or u%nderpaid and abb
sentee preachers. Not many counties,
it is stated, are able to show an aver
age ministerial salary higher than the
average for the whole United States,
which is 1887, while barely one-third
of the entire Protestant population Of
the United States, according to esti
mates made by the ~Interchurch survey.
has an opportunity Tor regular church
attendance.
Besides a full consideration of local
problems, the program at the county
conferences will present the outstand-
ing results of the worldwide survey OF
religious, social and economic condi-
lions made by the Interchurch Move
ment, the material for which has been
gathered from every corner Of the
earth. Lantern slides will be freely
used to illustrate the various addresses.
The conferences will be managed by
local committees, and the various top
les under discussion will be handled by
teams of from five to eight men and
women, recognized as church leaders
in the county or state. Each team
will be responsible for conducting the
conferences in eight counties.
Big Educational Campaign Prepared.
This series of conferences represents
only an intermediate stage in a great
campaign of intensive education in
practical Christianity preparatory to
the united appeal for missionary funds
and workers which will be held by the
Protestant denominations cooperating
in the Interchurch Movement between
April % and May 2. The teams that
will address the county conferences
were themselves trained as a faculty
of specialists in the various aspects OF
the Movement at a series of state and
pastors conferences. Similarly, those
who attend the county conferences will
turn form a faculty for interpret
.ng the message of the Interchurch
to their local churches.
Thus it is expected that before April
20 the ideal of church cooperation adj
by the Interchurch World
in place of church compe-
ition, and the program of evangelical
ion that goes with it, will be familiar
o every one Of the fifty million Pro-
estants in the United States.

AS a follow-up of the Pastors Con-
aerences which have been held in Ida
no, Montana and Wyoming, a series of
county conferences win be held within
the next month, according to an an
nouncement issued by B. V. Edworthy,
field secretary of the Interchurch
World Movement for this district.
The Wyoming meetings will be held
during the latter part of April, while
those in Montana will last from April
6 to 10. The Idaho conferences have
been scheduled for the period immedi-
ately following Easter.
These conferences will be held in
every county of the state with teams OF
pastors who attended the state meet
ings in charge. Montana has been d.
yided into five districts. The work of
county organization will be done under
the direction of j. A. Afford, former
secretary of the Sunday School AS
ISOLATION, and b. V. Edworthy.
The work in Wyoming will be direct
ed by A. f. Stewart, state secretary,
assisted by Mr.. Afford. G. w. Harris,
state secretary for Idaho, will have
charge of the county work in that
state.
A method of holding meetings of
Protestant church representatives in
about 1000 county seats in he United
States, involving a total attendance of
anywhere from a million to a million
and a half delegates, has been evolved
by the Interchurch World Movement
of North America, according 10 an an
nouncement just made at Interchurch
headquarters, at As West Eighteenth
street, New York City.
The meeting place will in most cases
be the county seat, and the attendance
will be composed of the membership of
the Protestant churches of the country.
The conferences will last n day
only. During that day will be present
ed the whole program of the Inter
church World Movement for promoting
cooperation in missionary and general
church activities among the Protestant
churches. Time will also be given to
discussion of the local problems in each
county as revealed by the Interchurch
Movements survey Of religious condi-
tons throughout the United States.
No sidestepping of Problems.

Girl Reserves Visit
Boy Scouts in Camp

Tuesday morning % of the Girl
Reserves left the city on the 1915
train to visit the Boy Scouts in their
camp near Varnado. Owing to the
Indictment weather end the fact that
the roads between Bogalusa and Var
nado resembled a swamp, it was
thought best to contribute toward the
upkeep of the N. u. G. N. and ride
instead of hiking.
The Scouts met their guests at the
train in Varnado and asst B5ed them
in transporting the huge baskets
filled with sandwiches, cakes, fruit
and other eats.
A bathing party was staged in the
famous Varnado swimmin' hole,
after which the merry crowd of
youngsters sat themselves on the
banks of Pushepatappe creek to one
Of the grandest feeds ever enjoyed
by either of the two organizations.
The Scouts had been catching fish
all morning in preparation for the
event and, needless to say, the finny
tribe was sadly depleted by the time
the girls arrived.
Following the feast the Reserves
challenged the Scouts to a game Of
indoor baseball and in seven fast in
nings hunlbled the boys with a score
of 15-4.
Another swimming party followed
and then supper in camp, the treat
being on the boys again, as not fish
could be lured to the banks by the
fair anglerettes.
A tired but happy crowd of girls
arrived back in Bogalusa on the $40
train Tuesday night and repaired to
they. w. G. A. for a "slumber ~
party" after having entreated Miss
Voss in vain to allow them to attend
the Paul English Players show on
Pleasant Hill. No first-hand infor-
nation is available as to how much
sleeping was done at the "slumber
party" but it is estimated that the
biggest Rip Van Wrinkle in the crowd
didn't get more than fifteen minutes
in a stretch all night.
Wednesday morning Miss Voss
cleaned house" ana ran all the girls
home to get their own breakfasts.

Carrying a Ton Mile
for Less Than a Cent

Freight rates have played very
small part in the rising cost Of lv-
ing.
Other cause.-the waste Of war,
under-productiop, credit initiation
have added dollars to the cost of the
necessities of life, while freight
charges have added only cents.
The average charge for hauling a
ton of freight mile is less than a
cent.
A suit of clothing that sold for $50
before the war was carried 2,265
miles by rail from Chicago to Los
Angeles for 1917 cents.
Now the freight charge is % cents
and the suit sells for $50.
The cost Of the suit has increased
20 dollars.
The freight on it has increased
only 51a cents.
Other transportation charges en-
ter into the cost of the finished ar
ticle-carrying the wool to the mills
and the cloth to the tailors-but
these other charges amount to but a
few cents more.
The $40 pair of shoes that used
to sell for SIS, goes from the New
England factory to the Florida deal
er for a freight charge of 5 2-3 cents
only one cent more than the pre-
war rate.
Beef pays only swo-thirds Of a
cent pound freight from Chicago
to New York.
