IN. {. conference NOTES

Bishop Charles Bayard Mitchell,
who presides at the forthcoming con-
ference resides in St.Paui and has
charge of the St Paul area. The area
covers three states, Wisconsin Min
nesota and South Dakota, in which are
seven conferences. These all meet an
nually TO transact important business,
not the least being the making of the
appointments. A Methodist minister
is appointed to a charge for one year
at time. He may be reappointed in
definitely If he and the church are
willing and he is not required to go
elsewhere. There is no time limit;
that was removed some years ago.
So great are the annual charges, how
ever, that a third of the pastors move
each year. So while a few men stay
as long as eight or ten years the aver
age pastorate is only three years.
The appointing power centers in the
Bishop. He consults with the Dis
l trlct superintendent and pastors and
laymen may interview him, but ne
must make the final decisions. The
I appointments are read at the closing
session Of the conference, and it is
usually tense moment Some men
receive promotion while others suffer
disappointment Many near tragedies
are enacted each year.
| All the sessions of the conference
are open TO the public. Meetings of
the Boards and committees only are
private.
The name of each preacher is called
in open conference and his character
passed. Should there be ANYTHING
against him charges may be prefer
red TO which he has to answer. No
pastor can receive an appointment if
his character is not passed.
The younger men who are taking
the Conference Course of Study are
examined the day before Conference
opens. The examinations this year
will be held at the Training School on
Tuesday, August 30 The work is
hard and the tests severe None can
pass whose grade is below TO-
Among those attending conference
are some of the old veterans They
are on the retired list and receive a
small pension; only few are able to
attend. The Rev.John Tresedder, who
was pastor here some years ago, is
planning to come. Also the Rev. j. T.
Morgan who began his ministry here.
The Rev. John Harris, father-in-law
of our present pastor is also expected
dress. DIR. w. j. Mckay, and the Rev.
w. R. Irish will likewise be present.
The latter has attended nearly sixty
conferences.
The iaymen will meet for sepa-
rate session in the Congregational
church on Friday, Sept. End. An
amendment to the constitution is be-
fore the church granting them the
right to place in the ministerial SEES
sion. This will probably pass.
Lodging only is asked of Viroqua.
The conference boards itself on the
cooperative plan A conference chef
takes charge of the Dining Hall
A large number of delegates have
sent word of their coming. All rooms
available for lodging will be needed.
Quite a few of the pastors will bring
their wives, and many of the lay del
egates are ladies. 1t will confer a
great favor upon the local church if
those having rooms to spare will COM
municate with the pastor or any mem
Der of the church.

that the Vernon county tobacco was
less than so per cent Of normal Now
] have been through a large part of
the county and will say that in many
instances the 1921 Vernon county to-

have seen fields that are fully rs per
cent better than last year If you
want TO verify my statements just
ask the farmers through your paper
OF course there are some late plant
ings that win not make tobacco but
that is a small average. Yours truly,

Editors Note:-We sincerely hope
that the editor is mistaken and Mr..
Olson is correct. We know of moth
ing more discouraging to the general
prosperity than a short tobacco crop,
and none viii be more pleased than
the editor ~ see good weather and
late frosts permit the crop to come
somewhere near normal.

CONDEMN TERM "FAIR SEX
posed to Phrase Belonging to
Byoone Age"

1t has been officially declared in Eng
land that women, en- bloc, are neither
week nor fair" At least the Wom-
ems Freedom league, under the lead
ership Of Councillor Margaret Hodge,
has put ban on the terms fair sex"
and weaker SEX" "Spinster" and
''mother-in-law" have also been put
on the feminine index. Further, it is
averred, once and for all time that:
Woman's judgment is as good as
mans.
Women talk less than men.
Women can keep a secret.
Zone irritating CUSTOM" said Mis-
Hodge, comes from an age when to be
fair was woman's first and foremost
duty. The only women who counted
wee for ornament rather than for use.
Women may be the weaker sex physi-
cally, but certainly not morally. The
name mother-in-law is still the stand
by of farces and comic literature. Ii
is an idea from some bygone age

ing of the journal boxes of car axles,

whole movement of traffic until the
condition can he remedied. This
makes very timely series of tests
now being carried on at Purdue uni
versity, to determine accurately the
benefit to be derived by using venti-
lated lids instead Of the solid lids
now almost universally used on the

eight-hour runs with heavy loads at
high speed, during which accurate
records are kept of the temperature

The applicability of Chinese art for
interior decoration of any period is
being strikingly illustrated in a recent
gallery opening in New York. The
idea that anything Chinese is gaudy
is being gradually displaced. In the
carving of gems, the working of metal
and In tapestry designs the Chinese
are without rivals. The owner of the
new gallery has fitted up half score
of rooms in period designs-there Is
the old French and English the
American colonial the early Italian
and the Holland rooms. Fitting snug
ly into the general tone of the room
are marvels of Chinese craftsmanship
in the form of hangings, carved wood
work, tapestry and lamps. 1t is rev
elatlon to many and has new con
ception of Chinese craftsmanship.-St
Paul Pioneer Press.
