Are Sending Supplies
The members of the Evangelical
church of Murdock have been mak
ing a collection of a number of
things which are needed in Germany
and are shipping them to be dis
tributed to the deserving there.
Among the things shipped are cloth
ing, meat, sugar, coffee, lard and
shoes. These things will come in
much more to the purpose than even
American money. Those who wish
can add to the contributions either
in ,goQd .wearable clothing goods or
other needed articles, or can provide
money with which ao pay the ship
ping expenses of these goods to their
destination.
Work Going Forward
The contract of changing the Mur
dock church which has proved in
adequate for a meeting place for the
people of the church, has been award
ed to H. R. Schmidt, who is pushing
the work along rapidly. The founda
tion has been entirely constructed
and the lumber is being hauled for
the building of the superstructure
and John Amgwert is hustling to get
the lumber on the ground.
The foundation was laid by Mr.
Henry Schlaphoff. The building com

EQUAL RIGHTS
MOVE IN PRESBY
TERIAN CHURCH
i
Women Tired of Being Merely Col
! . lection Agency Says Mission
Society Head.
Cleveland, O., Dec. 5. A move
ment, .fulfillment of which would give
women equal representation with
men on the legislative bodies of the
Presbyterian church of the United
States, was disclosed during today's
sessions of the National Presbyterian
conference here.
A petition embodying a request for
such representation has been for
warded to the general assembly of
the church by the executive board
of the Women's Missionary society,
of Cincinnati, Mrs. Mary Louise
Blinn. its president announced. It
also is being circulated among mem
bers of the societies of other Pres
byteries. The petition, which constitutes the
first attempt of Presbyterian women
to obtain equal suffrage within the
church, probably will be acted upon
at the meeting of the general assem
bly at Grand Rapids, Michigan, next
May.
Presbyterian women, members of
the missionary societies of the church
now are raising much money but
have no voice in its expenditure, Mrs.
Blinn declares. They are becoming
tired of acting as a "collection agen
cy" and, many are drifting into oth
er work and will continue to do so
unless they are granted equal suf
frage principles, she adds.
Fesides giving women an equal
voice with men in legislative mat
ters, the petition asks that a Wom
en's Missionary society of the Pres
byterian church of the United States
be created with authority to appoint
women to sit on the boards of the
assembly. instruct its representa
tives, publish an official organ and
have control over the funds which
the missionary societies collect
powers now held by the national and
foreign missionary boards appointed
bv the assembly. '
The movement, she said, ha3 the
ranction of the Cincinnati Presby
tery.
Apportionment cf the 15 million
dollar budget for the next fiscal year
among the forty-six synods also was
completed today under a new method
in which the ability of the synods to
pay, their willingness to contribute
and the size of the congregations
were taken into consideration.

Standing In the doorway
of the- little favnbouse, Luella read
the last words of her lover's letter, and
smiled. Things were not quite so bad
as Jim made out. And anyway Jim
bad promised to come up and stay
yvlth Jier mother and herself over
Christmas.
Jim and Luella had been neighbors
for as many years as they could re
member, and always acknowledged
sweethearts. But when Jim's father
died the little farm had had to be given
up. It was In a swampy district that
would grow nothing till it was properly
drained. Jim's father had hung on by
the skin of his teeth while the drains
choked and the land became water
logged; then he died. Jim went to
the city and got a clerical position.

ashamed to rent it. for the house was
falhng to pieces, the roof leaked, ana
1c w anted plastering. And then the
land that was hopeless. .
Twenty acres of good farming land
run to bog and overgrown with marsh
plants! It had reverted to the wild
with a vengeance. Luella and her
mother must be crazy to take up their
residence in such a location.
Luella insisted on Jim's taking rent.
When he persisted in his refusal, she
said she would put the house In order
instead. She did.
Jim was amazed when he returned
fr his first visit that Christmas. The
house had been repainted and plas-
tered, the leak stopped In the roof;
it looked neat and trim, and Luella
was raising chickens, geese and tur
keys, too. The land made a fine run
for them, though the young turkeys
had to be kept off the wet places.
"Guess I'll soon be able to retire and
take up poultry raising, Jim, dear,"
Lue'da smiled.
They were very happy that visit.
for in another year Jim hoped to be
making enough to be able to ask Luella
to marry him. Dut the business de
pression grew wcrse instead of better,
and Jim's letters betame more and j
more hepeless, culminating in the offer
of release.
It was strange how LueTIa wert

days grew shorter. Luella was twenty

"Tomorrow's Christmas ! Luella
cried, dancing about the parlor. "Put

'I declare, child, you're acting like
a wild thing," her mother admonished
her.
"Oh, mother, dear, what will Jim say
when he knows? Don't you breathe a

Jim stared at the smart motorcar
that drew up before the depot. No

the smartly garbed young woman who
stepped out of it and flung her arms
round his neck In the sight of every
