 Most all the public camp grounds be- tween back east and the place called California has got a big sign up--a couple of posts with some boards acrost the top, writes Dick Wick Hall in the Salome (Arizona) Sun. The Greenwood golf course here has put up a big sign on two posts and some boards across the top saying Golf Course" and it's funny how so many folks from Indiana and Arkansaw and Memphis and Maine and Teaxas drive right up in front of that sign and look at it and then drive right in and make camp on the golf grounds. The other night some folks from Mobile, Alabama, drove right in and camped for the night on one of the greens and when I, went over and kicked about it they said they saw the sign and the nice level spot where the circus ring had been so they pitched their tent there. Lord, often wonder how some folks ever get this far on the way to Cali fornia-and the next morning one of the kids stole the hole and took it with him. I guess he thought the circus left it. .

 The minimum amount asked of the churches of the North Alabama con- ference is the amount equal to the total assessed for presiding elders and pastors salaries last year. Most of the charges in the conference have pledgedS the raising of their amounts and the others are expected to do so ata'once, while many of the churches have volunteered { to raise larger totals than the quotas asked The money will be pledged on the five. year payment plan.
 The total sum asked of the North Alabama conference is divided among the district conferences as follows:
 4 District Quotas
 Alberttille district, $37,O9O; Besse- mer district, $54,9SS; Birmingham dis ftrict, $71 ,955; Decatur district, $3S,- 166; Florence district, S30.5S9; Gads- den district, $35, 5,432 Haleyville dis trict $16,092; Huntsville district, $31,- 617; Jasper district, $43, ,J57; Roanoke district, $2S, ,451; Sylaeauga district, $29,SS5; Talladega district, $35, 5,345 Tuscaloosa district, $35,
