Sunday School
Puts on Advertise
ing Campaign

Chruch advertising is not new
idea but an advertising campaign for
a single department Of the church's
work is more or less new and novel,
especially in Devils Lake. With the
reorganization of the Methodist Ep-
iscopal Sunday School of this city
under its new board of control for
the ensuing year, several invocations
are planned, including an advertising
campaign.
The first feature of the reorganiza-
ton is change of name. Instead of us
ing the time-worn and hackneyed
name Of Sunday School, the organiza-
ton is to be known henceforth as the
Methodist Episcopal Church School.
1t is believed that such change more
nearly indicates the function of the
school and will be more attractive than
the former name.
Another feature is the form of or
ganization. The school has been d.
vided into seven distinct departments,
with a superintendent in absolute con-
troll of each. These departments sup
plant the former division of three
branches. They are as follows:
Cradle Roll, Beginners, Primary, Jun
ior, intermediate, High School and
Adult. The various superintendent
are held to strict accountability by the
general superintendent, and reports
are made weekly on purely business
basis as in mercantile undertaking.
Each department is divided into from
two to seven classes, with Offices for
the department as a unit. In this
way expansion can be taken care Of
more easily, and responsibility more
accurately placed. The entire ad-
ministration will be conducted with a
view to obtaining the highest eff
ficiency in results, both mechanical
and religious.
A third innovation in the Methodist
school here is to put in graded les
sons in all departments up to the
High school department. Some of the
classes have been graded previously,
but not to this extent. Each class in
both the High School and adult de-
partment have the power to choose
their own course of study.
The fourth, and in one sense, the
most spectacular change, is the ad-
option Of an advertising program.
Readers will find the Inauguration of
this program in this issue of the
World. A steady policy of consistently
presenting the opportunities of the
church school will be adhered to
closely.
A special attraction will be pre-
scented in the program each Sunday.
This will be done almost Immediately
and the opening as an aid to secure
punctuality in attendance.
The officers who are in charge of
the new routine are:
Leonard D. Fackler, Superintendent;
w. w. Allen, Asst. Superintendent;
Mrs. Maude Warrel, secretary; Mrs.
o. S. Peterson, Treasurer; Miss Har-
riet Duell, Director of Music; Mrs.
Orville Johnson Supt. CRADLE Roll;
Mrs. J. H. Hay, supt. Beginners; Miss
Cornelia Chambers, Supt. Primary;
Mrs. P. G. Mileler, Supt. Junior; Mrs.
S. B. Barr, Supt. intermediate; Miss
Flora futile, Supt. High School; W.
W. Allen, Supt. Adult; Rev. B. Bah
cock, Advisor.

Alleged Rum Runner Is
Nabbed by Customs Man

Winnipeg, Man., Oct. 25.-Frank
Crabenick, alleged rum runner from
Prague, N. D., was taken into custody
at Cartwright Friday, by ]. T. Robin
son, customs officer, when he dropped
into town to make certain purchases.
Carbenick stated, it is said, that he
had been in the rum running business
for the past four years and did not
report to officials on either side of
the line. He was charged, under
the inland revenue act and heavy
fine was imposed.
AS an instance of how closely the
mounted police are watching the
movements of the strangers from
across the line, the incident that oc-
Cured to Cartwright may be men,
toned.
Shortly after 6 p. m. Friday a phone
message came in from Mather stating
that four men had just left that town
riding in Maxwell car carrying an
American license. In some way the
travellers escaped the local customs
officials and drove through the town
unnoticed. Soon 8 Royal Canadian
mounted police were on their track
and overlook them at Holmfield, the
Killarney detachment of dominion po-
lice arriving on the scene almost at
the same minute. The party turned
out to be bunch of land seekers
from North Dakota.

Old Naval Officers Face Hard Times

E1FTY-NINE old sea dogs of the
American navy are in trouble. This
Is group of naval officers who in
some cases have served as far back as
1898 and were formerly officers of the
naval auxiliary service. 1t appears
that In the days in which they took an
active part In the navy, they received
some sort of an indefinite promise that
they would never be relieved from
duty as long as they were alive. and
also that in later years their families
would receive pensions. The branch
OF the service in which they served
was organized in 1898 to command
naval supply vessels But in the emer-
gency of 1917 congress arbitrarily
forced these old-time auxiliary officers
into the newly organized naval reserve.
Under their auxiliary organization
they were accorded the same amount
of pay and other benefits as the regu-
lars. But since their enforced entry
into the naval reserve of 1917 they
have become part of the organized
reserve, which under the present naval
bill will be greatly reduced.
