PRESBYTERIAN CENSUS
Interesting Data to be Compiled in
Near Future.

Mr.. A. H. Seats, of the publicity de-
partment of the Presbyterian church
in the United States, with headquar-
ters at Chattanooga, Tennessee, makes
sthe following announcement:
The Southern Presbyterian Church
is planning a census of its resources.
There will shortly be sent to the va
rious churches in this section a sur
vey card which, if filled out, will give
some interesting facts in connection
with the membership and other data
on the church.
This card calls for the total men,
,bcrship of the church. the number of
families holding family worship in
the church, the number Of candidates
for the ministry, the number of young
people attending church schools, the
number of families taking church pa
pears, the number Of additions to the
church on profession of faith, and the
Sunday school enrol ment. The pro-
gressive programme adopted by the
church includes an increased attend
ance of 25 per cent. on church services;
a Sunday school enrolment at least
equal to church membership; at least
one life in each church enlisted for
definite Christian work: n family altar
in every hom': church paper in
every home; the establishment of mis-
sion Sunday schools and churches
wherever possible. The programme
also calls for the organization of each
church on four-fO:d plan of evangel-
ism. stewardship, spiritual resources
and missionary education. AS pointed
out. definite policies are thus fixed
FOR the church to work on.
1t is shown on this card that the
goal for benevolences in the Southern
church this year is $4,-
100000 and the total estimated gross
income Of the members of the church
is S200,000.000. The church is ~ pres
is. giving a tenth or more of ones in
come to the church, and it is pointed
out that if every member of the South
ern Presbyterian church were tither,
this would mean an annual income Of
$2O, 100000. Last year the total men,
bership of this church was shown TO-.
be- over $4,000, an increase Of about
10000 for the year. The total amou
given to benevolent causes amounted
to nearby $5,OOO,OOO, or about $12.42
per capita. There were over 10000
m embers who reported that they gave
one tenth or more Of their incomes to
the church.

The o. d system of laying bounties on

in charge of economic Investigations OF
the biological survey, says:
Since 1890 millions of dollars have
been spent in bounties," he declared,
and there has never been case where
the bounty did any permanent good.
The old bounty men, he charged,
were in the game more for the money
and the living they could get out of it,
than for the purpose of ridding the
country of wild animals. 1t was found,
he added, that the bounty men after
hunting a season, purposely would
leave one or two pairs of wo.ves, to
raise more wolves, for more bounties.

bounty men proved unfit
Some of them would write up here
saying if they could only have the fin

tail, they could surely lure game into
their traps. That was all pure super

Although the wo.f has attacked
many persons, and hunted man in
packs in the stcppes of Russia and
other parts Of the world, there is
no single case on record, DR.. Fisher
reports, where a wolf has attacked a

HORSE THIEVES GO.
Auto Gains Such Predominance Society
Decides to Disband.

Old Dobbin is hanging his head to-
day, relates Bloomingburg, n. Y. dis
patch. The horse-in these parts, at
least--has passed. He survived the
coming of motor driven fire apparatus.
He managed to bear on despite the
popularity Of automobiles for pleasure
and commercial purposes. 1t was not
until the organization formed to pre-
vent the theft Of the horse was dis
banded that old Dobbin finally realized
he and his fellows were passed.
The good men who composed the
Mamakating, Waikiki and Crawford
Horse Thief Detecting Society at a
meeting here decided to disband. Since
1875 the organization has been, In ex-
istence and during that time it has
been instrumental In recovering many
stolen horses and in bringing to justice
many horse thieves.
It was decided to disband when an
investigation of the records of the or
ganization showed that the automobile
had 50 crowded out the horse that
thefts of these animals were becom-
ing less and less frequent.
Only one of the members who was
present when the organization was
founded almost so years ago is living
today. He is said to have been one of
the six who favored continuing the
society. Sentiment was overruled by
facts presented by the 81 other men,
bers of the organization and voted to
disband.
There is sl,4OO in the treasury Of
the organization. This will be divid-
cd pro rata among the members at
the beginning of next year.

MUST KEEP VOICES LIQUID
Italian With Four Wants Quarts OF
~, Wine for Each.

Can a singer with four distinct
voices tucked away in his system get
along on medicinal dole of two
quarts of wine per: day, or should he
have four quarts to keep peace in his
family of voices? Dord-Ain, Italian
operate vocalist, maintains that he
should have four quarts daily, but the
dry" Solons, in an opinion delivered
recently held that he could have only
two quarts, even If he had to turn off
two of his voices, says the New York
Herald.
The delicate problem in reconciling
the mathematics of prohibition with
vocal chords came into being a couple
of weeks ago, when Lord-Ain first
reached this country and went into
vaudeville, supported by his entire
squad Of voices. Though he attracted
favorable notice by his ability to s ide

barytone, soprano and contralto in
