TO Be DETERMINED

and Educational Emergency
Before Conference.
By the Associated Press.


ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., May g.
Methodist Episcopal delegates today
faced the task of deciding whether the
first message from their general con-
| ference to the church at large would be
an appeal for $1,000, 900 to support the
financially harassed missionary. phil
anthropic and educational program of
the denomination. The committee on
the state of the church has already ap-
proved the appeal.
Some criticism was voiced OF the
emergency message which calls upon
all Methodist pastors and their congre-
cations to start the $1,000.000 drive on
May IS and to secure 100000 units"
of SIS each in the two weeks before May
81, when the campaign Is to end.
DR.. Frank Kingdom of East Orange.
N. j., was one of several committee
members to express the opinion that
the appeal would be futile"
During the discussion, Joseph j.
Shya, a Chillicothe, Mo, attorney re-
ferring to all the financial problems of
the church, suggested that Methodism
organize its own financial institutions
to handle the security obligations and
loans Of its departments.
Meanwhile the attention of midwest
ern delegates has been focused on the
Committee on. Boundaries, whose SUBJ
committee has authorized a consolida-
ton proposal for the fusion of the
Chicago Northwest conference with the
Rock River, Wisconsin, Iowa, Upper
Iowa, Minnesota, Detroit, Northwest
Iowa, Illinois and West Wisconsin con-
ferences.
A five-point program, designed for
immediate application to current eco
nomic conditions, was approved yes
terday by a joint meeting of the
Committees on Industrial and Social
Relations. Approval of the program
marked the first definite action on the
board of bishops declaration for i'm

RESIDENTIAL PROPERTY
LEADS REALTY DEALS
Savings Institute President Says
Ten Times as Many Transfers
Concern This Field.

Ten times as many real estate trans
fers are concerned with residential
property as with any other type of
realty investment, it is stated by
Philip Lieber, Shreveport. La, presi-
dent of the American Savings, Building
& Loan Institute, the educational as
ISOLATION AFFILIATED with the United
States Building g. Loan League
The statement is made in emphasiz-
ing the Importance of appraisals on
dwellings and in announcing publica-
ton by the institute of Appraisal of
Real Estate" a book containing find
ings of research into this subject.
The book contains $50 pages of in
struction about valuing Of residential
property with an eye not only for 1882
but such future years as 1912.
The institute sponsored a research
which made the home appraisal hand
book available, drawing upon both
typical and unusual experiences OF
leading home financiers of the country
1T is strange that so little study has
been given to the special subject of ap-
praising homes, in contrast to the VOL
ume of material on appraisals of large
buildings" Mr.. Lieber comments.

THE PEOPLE CHOOSE

THE people of the country have spoken
Their mandate, given yesterday by
an overwhelming majority, removes the
Republican party from the power which
1t has held for the past II years, and
places in charge of the nations destiny
the party of Woodrow Wilson, of Cleve-
land and of Franklin D. Roosevelt.
No doubt has been left as to the earn
estness of the mandate. 1t was a DEM
ocratic landslide and given in no uncer-
tain terms judging from the size of the
majority rolled up.
As a paper which supported the Re-
publican cause we accept defeat as good
losers should, by extending congratula-
tons to the victors, wishing them all the
success possible and without reiinquish-
ing the principles for which the Repub-
lican party stands, pledge loyalty and
cooperation to the winners.
This column stated recently that we
do not believe change in the admins
trative policy will mean the downfall of
the nation. The belief is hereby repeat
ed. 1t is for all of US, as good citizens,
to display full faith in the future of
our country and in its ability to recover
from the economic difficulties which
have immersed it for the past few years.
The Democratic party goes into office
next March with the legislative branch
of the government in sympathy with the
executive The fate of the country in the
next four years is in their hands. None
can expect miracles and it will require
time to bring about those changes which
the successful party has declared essen
tial to the welfare of the country.
That party has been given a vote of
confidence by the people of the nation
and it behooves its leaders to live up to
the faith which has been placed in them.
That they will make every effort to live
up to their trust, must be the hope today
of every good citizen.
The road before those who will assume
control of the government is not an easy
one, but it is no rougher than has been
trod by other Americans in earlier times.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S FUNNY BOX

Once upon time, the Bob Cat
went sinking along through the
woods to call on his friend, the
Fox. Mr.. Fox was painting a box.
1t was a box without a cover and
had nothing in it. The Fox painted
one side of the box red.
THAT is a very pretty color"
said the Bob Cat 81 didn't know
you were such clever painter, Mr..
Fox"
"Wait until I get this finished"
softly barked the Fox. "You will
be surprised, but you are not the
only one who is going to be sur
prised, Mr.. Bob Cat.'
"Who else will be?" mewed the
Bad Chap with the silly little tail.
you'll see," whispered the Fox,
and he started painting another
side of the box with blue color.
Hold onl" purred the Bob Cat.
you're making a mistake. The box
is red on one side SO all the other
sides should be red, and the top
also. 1t ought to be red all over.'
"Oh, mol" laughed the Fox, dip
ping his brush in the blue paint
pot. This box is going to be all
different colors."
That's funny" said the Bob
Cat.
"Of course it u.s." said the Fox.

Uncle Wiggily starts to crawl I'M
der the box, to look INSIDE, he will
hit the stick and knock it down.
Down will fall the funny box on
Mr.. Longears and he will be caught
in trap. Then you and can
easily catch him." said the Fox.
"It sounds all right agreed the
Bob Cat. "Uncle Wiggily's funny
box. 1t sure will be funny if we
catch him."
"Of course, we'll catch him!"
snarled the Fox, finishing the
printing of the rabbits name on
the box. when it dries I'll set it
up in the woods and we'll hide in
the bushes and watch for Uncle
Wiggily to go in and be caught"
"It sounds most deliciouS!" MUIR
INJURED the Bob Cat.
So the funny box trap was set up
in the woods and, after a while,
Uncle Wiggily passed by along the
path. His bright eyes saw the
gaily colored box, red, blue, green,
pink and yellow. He saw his name
on the box and said:
This is very funnyI"
what did I tell you?" whispered
the Fox to the Bob Cat as the
two were hiding in the bushes. Nov
he'll go closer to look inside and
he'll be caught. The empty box
will fall down over his head"
Wondering how this funny box,
with his name on it, came to be
in the woods, Uncle Wiggily hoped
nearer and nearer. He was just
going to hop closer, when he would
have knocked down the stick, max
ing the trap fall, when a voice
called:
wait for me, Unkie Wig!"
"Who is that?" the Fox asked in
a low voice.
Little Bub, the rainbow boy"
answered the Bob Cat. HE is al
ways tagging after Uncle Wiggily."
81 hope Bub doesn't spoil my
trap" whispered the Fox. But that
is just what the rainbow boy did.
He ran up to the funny box be-
fore Uncle Wiggily could hop inside
to be caught and Bub, seeing the
stick, knew the danger Quickly
with his foot, Bub kicked aside the
stick. Down fell the funny box,
but the bunny rabbit wasn't caught.
Little Bub had saved him. Then
Bub took the box and carried it to
the bungalow and the Fox was so
angry he stepped on his own tail.
But if the pussy cat will please
