I Early in the campaign the pastor
I presented the claims of the various
interests to Mr. Barnett and a few
r days ago the wealthy Indian ex
pressed a readiness to talk with other
s representatives of the campaign on
the matter. The campaign headquar
ters were advised of the hour the
f conference was to be held and asked
3 to pray that God would lay it upon
the heart of Barnett to do a really
large thing. Accordingly the general
3 -director and his office force held a
r special prayer service at that hour
and a short while afterward a tel
egram came from Maryetta rnnounc
e ing that the Indian, himself a convert
under the preaching of missionaries,
s had given $200,000 to the campaign
r to help send the gospel to others in
. the homeland and throughout the
world.
I During the past sixteen years the
e receipts of the Southern Baptist Con

a creased 660 per s.ent, the number of
missionaries has increased 176 pei

445 ner cent. The white Baptists mem

Two-third of the women of the

the world to whom the doors of
knowledge have been closed hereto

religious and medical, and Christian
schools and hospitals into all the

ONE AMERICAN
QUEILS REVOILT
Puts lown "Revolution" Among Ger
mans Lone-Handed.
With the American Forces in Ger
many, Oct. 1.-( By the Associated .
Press.)-Single-handed, an American
intelligence officer recently put down
a "revolutionary" movement in the
area on the Rhine occupied by United
States troops.
The first Americans knew of the
"revolt" was when news reached .
army headquarters that , in Luetz, a
village of 200 population, a red bag
had been hoisted and was wavin in
the breeze at the tip of a 70-footiu
ple. When the American offeer ar- f
rived in Luetz the "revolution," con
ceivedl by a society calling itself
"Frohsinn" (Hlrt)adcmoeU
of young men most of w hom were dis
charged German soldiers, was well
.undler way and none of the~ inhabitan- f
ts could enter or leave the village
wihout prioper' passp)ort pr ovided by
the society members.
Luetz, like many German villages
in the hills, has no troops in the
town, the army dlependling upon an
occasional patrol to keep in touch
with events.j
The A merican su moned the ge- ~
meindevorstaher, or the chief offiial
of the town, who in formed the offier
that this was the th irdl attemipt of the
"Frohsinnists'' to rule the village and
that the action was dlirec'tedl against
the Catholic priest for whom the
young men had a pronounced1 di* like.d
The American offcer summoned the -
executive council of the society, pro
vided them with pic k and shov el and
had them dig up the flag pole amid
the applause of the conservative ele
ment of the village. YTe instructed
the burgomasteir to withhold until
further notico any authorization for
meetings of the "Hilarity," gave the j
executive council a dIressing down andL
instructedl the one Ger~man policeman
to patrol L~uetz at all hours on Sun
days when most political meeting are
held.
Each member of the ''executive coun
eil" promised to be good hereafter
and none of the society members wereL
arrested. They agreed that the A meri
can h41d convinced them that irevo-L
lut ion" didl not pay. The revolution -
had lasted six hours.

AMERICA'S GREATEST NEED
America must increase its dairy herds. There are
only 24,000,000 milch cows in the United States today, as
compared with about 35,000,000 in 1914. Dairy cows by
the millions have been slaughtered for food, by Denmark,
Sweden and Norway particularly. All Europe's dairy
herds have been sadly reduced.
I
This country must provide and sell dairy products to
all Europe. We need more than 45,000,000 milch cows
I to do this adequately.
The farmer who increases his dairy herd now is not
only doing his duty to the world, but is certain to profit
in a big way.
This should interest this community. Is it going to
benefit by owning more and better dairy cattle. We have
the land to feed them on, we have the brains to care for
them and take the profit. This bank has the money to
finance their purchase if our assistance is needed.
Come in and let's talk this dairy problem over.

and we believe that we can satisfy every

We want our customers to come in and U
look over the bunch. We want to sell you
the animal you need and will sell it at the
right price.
