CHURCH MUST KEEP WORKING
 FOR CONVERTS
Methodists Urged to Conduct Two Months Aggres
 sive Campaign.

CHICAGO, Feb. S.-Money is but a means to an end, and the church which fails to secure converts to Christ flights a losing battle, the board Of bishops Of the Methodist Episcopal Church says in state ment made public here.
 For the first time in the history of Methodism the Board of Bishops suggests that at least 1.-two months out of eyory year should be kept comparatively free for aggressive eyangelistic efforts
 The 36 bishops comprising the board in the statement say: With out budgets our workers cannot be appointed and maintained. It should, however. never be overlooked that money is but a means to an end. The primary emphasis is and must always be upon the culture of the Christian life, the spread of Chris tian principles, and on the develop ment of vital, intelligent, spiritual life.
 The church which fails to se- cure converts 10 Christ fights los ing battle. More than ever before there is need of men who have the passion of the Master for the lives of men and who put the main em- pha9is upon the vital, spiritual values, and upon the forces which develop them.
 "We express the iudemant that at least two months out of every year should be kept comparatively free fer aggressive evangelistic efforts. These efforts should challenge peo- pie. not only to church membership and social activity. but to that con- version to God which will result ia the soundest ethical life and in fully-rounded New Testament type of conduct"

PALACE LAST TIME, "DEVIl'S PASS KEY"

Among the men who give some of the finest characterization the screen has ever seen, Samuel De Grasse, as Warren Woodwright-an1 Clyde Fillmore, as Captain Strong, in "rhe Devils Pass Key" at the Palace tonight, will say, after seeing De Grasse prominent in few scenes, that here is an actor who mentally and physically lives his part through its every polished dotail--a perform anee whose artistic finish has sel- dom been bettcrcd on stage or screen. Likewise, the inherent man. Illness of Rex Strong, for all his wild oats so debonairly sown, is instantly appreciated in the clean-cut charac. terization given by Clyde Fillmore, and to say this or these two is to say as much for every other player down to the smallest part. 'The Devils Pass Key gives cinema act. ing in its absolute perfection, because it is so painstal7ing from every angle.

BRITISH BANKS REALLY
 OVERLOOKING WITH SILVER

LONDON, Feb. S.--London banks are oyerflowing with silver. so much so that they are embarrassed for facilities to handle the huge amounts which have been deposited with them. Ii is estimated that there is twice as much silver in cir culation in England as is necessary. that one half of the 60,000, 900 pounds worth of coined silver could be dispensed with.
 1t was needed during the war, but today the banks are at their wits end as to what to do with it. The vaults of many banks are filled, and it has been whispered that the dun geons of the Tower of London have been requistioned to store the sur plus metal.

1 However, when Germany obliged nu. merous Swiss waiters here b leave the country tt the outbreak Of the war, the Swiss authorities took sim liar action against German walters in Switzerland Further. the Swiss employers came to the conclusion that the Germans had underhid Swiss walters so greatly that thdh eompe- t.tion was injurious to the eountry's native ponulaee.
 International Exchanue
 Two years ago arraneements were made for an International exchange, but the German interests concerned worked to impede q walters exodus from the Fatherland. One Of these oDstructions was q demand that for every German waiter going to Hol- land. six Dutch walters were to be sent here.
 some of these workers abroad have been drifting to Italy and Spain. but rthe former country has shown strong resistance to their re-entry. Opposition to them also has been found in the Scandinavian countries and in the British overseas posses sions. h one Ncf the former Ger m2n colonies the admission require. ments have been tightened even re- gently.
 Holland has been proving more ard mcse of magnet for German houscmalds, as well. According to an uIoi tcal estimate recently an. nounced here, there are at least 100000 of these "frauldns" now on Dutch sell, w.th 10000 in Amster. dam alone The number is SD great, 1t is said, that many are finding dlf flcu!.y in obtaining employment.

POSTWAR BAN
 IS NOW RAISED
German Walters Are Now AL lowed to Go to England
 Doors Are Opened.

BERLIN. Feb. S.-fVery shortly l shall not be serving you any longer, am going back to try and get my old position in England
 A serYle German waiter in one of Berlins better class restaurants was overheard making the above re- mark in English to an American d.ner. Asked why hs ihad delayed so long after the war in seeking re-em. rloyment abroad, the waiter ex- plained that only on December 23 had the English government lifted it's postwar ban on German arrivals.
 For this maa. and doubtless hun dreds of others in his calling here. that date had stood oet long as a red-lettef day on his calendar. He has beel working for months and supporting his family, with no other remuneration from the restaurant than the 10 per cent tip legally pre- scribed for walters in Germany, to- gether wi.h such added gratuities as benevolent guests were inclined 10 give.
 How They Left
 IL is estimated that there are abroad now only one-sixth of the German and Austrian cooks and wait CTS who were in foreign employ be- fore the war When hostilities broke out many dropped their knives and forks in other lands to come home and pick mp a rifle; others were deported or interned; some were caught while visiting in Germany, and, willing or otherwise, became a part of the military forces.
 In 1914 there were some 5000 Ger man and Austrian cooks in foreign countries, and 15.000 walters. Today there are from 300 10 ,000 cooks and about three. tines that many walters. The latter figures do not include large number of Germans who re- mained in the United States through out the war.
 Chicago is cited here as having hitherto been tha most popular point of attraction in the outside world 'h b.AiI Niis eAtbic, DciDIt tile Wetl, the German and Austrian cooks num- bered 800 and the walters no less than 1000
 Speak Six Languages
 European countries also drew many of these employees away from their native tables, and it is a source Of surprise to many tourists here that Frequently the man who serves them can speak as many as six languages. London abcunded in German walters. and naturally the recent relaxation in the English restrictions finds wide Favor among many here who are chaf- ing at confinement within the vicious circle of low wages and high costs Of living, with q mark that is con stantly depreciatiug in value
 Next to England and America, Switzerland and Holland were the pre-war promised lands" of these frock-coated, disciplined pilgrims.

TO Restore Neglected
and Rundown Orchards

Neglected and rundown orchards
can be restored, in part at least, to
normal productiveness. The method
Of restoration will necessarily vary
with the condition Of the treeS and
soil. AS rule both the trees and
the soil need attention.
Where pruning has been neglected
the trees are usually full Of wood
which must be thinned out. This will
act as a stimulant to more vigorous
wood growth and the storing up Of
reserve food for fruit bud formation.
The pruning should be done from Feb
ruary to April, and should not be too
severe. If large number Of branches
have to be removed it is preferable to
complete the pruning the second year.
Make the cut close to the main
branches and make clean and smooth
cuts. Dressing the wounds is not nee
essary
The land should be plowed as early
as possible In the spring and before
blowing heavy dressing of well
rotted stable manure should be applied.
Where the orchard has been in sod for
several years the blowing should be
shallow. so as not to tear up the small
feeding roots which always come to
the surface In sod orchards. A couple
Of years Of clean cultivation will send
the roots downward and there will be
no danger of disturbing them. An or
chard that has been in sod for a num-
Der of years should be kept in clean
cultivation for Of least three years.
Afterward the orchard should be kept
alternately in some kind Of cover crop
and in clean cultivation.
These suggestions are from bulletin

Valley District"~by e. P. Sandsten and
C. NJ. Tompkins. Copies may be had

Experiments Throw Light
on. Apple Tree Pruning

Extensive experiments made at the
West Virginia station throw new light
upon pruning. These investigations
verify many of the theories commonly
accepted and give new facts with ref
erence to pruning apple trees.
A summary of bulletin 1853 OF the
West Virginia station says:
This bulletin is a preliminary re-
port of pruning experiment cover
Ing period Of four years and embrac-
ing 366 apple trees of various ages.
Study has been made of the effects on
vigor and fruitfulness Of various de-
grees Of dormant pruning, summer
pruning at different times, and COM
bifiations of dormant and summer
pruning.
Heavy annual dormant pruning re-
suited in stronger terminal growth
than lighter pruning on trees of all
ages.
In the study Of trees up to i've and
six years of age 1t was found that
annual heavy dormant pruning was
beneficial from the growth standpoint
for the first two or three years. after
which it dwarfed growth SO that By

pruned trees showed a strikingly

The kind of artistry they displayed

ton has reached a high standard in

did band of musicians. 1t was an in
spiration to me, as am sure it was to
others to hear them"
