Emergencies Have Arisen
The total aim of the Men and Mil
lions Movement was $ G.nOO.000, most
of which has been subscribed in sums
of $r0O and more, payable in five
years. K. A. Lonir. of Kansas City,
gave ? 1,1 00,000. Since America
entered the war such emergencies
have arisen in all the mission fields,
all the colleges and all benevolent
institutions and organizations that
it has been impossible to wait for
payments on these five-year pledges.
The war emergency requires the
completion of the $ 0.300,000 fund
and an extra million at once, it is
set forth.
Effects of War.
To show the changed situation, it
is stated that before the war an
American gold dollar was worth
?2.r,0 in Chinese silver; now it is
worth $1.17. Hospital supplies in
the Phillippiue Islands have advanc
ed more than 1,000 per cent, on
many necessities. Carbolic acid was
then 2.r cents a pint and is now
?:i.2". Flour for the missionaries in
Africa is $-10 a barrel and the trip
out costs three times what it did.
Over 2.000 students from colleges
of the Disciples have gone into the
army, causing a direct loss in tuition
of $75,000, while supplies and labor
are costing the schools $50,000 more
than last year. To follow these boys
and other thousands from the same
churches and minister to their relig
ious necessities in camps and canton
ments will take SI 00.000 of the
fund, it is stated.
MEETS WITH WAR
EMERGENCY CONFERENCE
From Thursday's Iiaily.
Rev. A. J. llargett, minister of the
Christian church at this place, de
parted this afternoon for Elmwood,
! where he goes to meet with the com
mittee from this county of the Men
and Millions movement. who are
handling the War Emergency Con
ference for the Christian church.
The committee which meets for the
organizing the work in this county
are: Rev. A. J. Hargett, chairman,
of Plattsmouth, V.'. A. Alden and Del
mer Saxon of Elmwood and Mrs.
t0k;p Tinll of Phittsmouth
after that Rev.
Hargett will go to
Lincoln, for the
state conference
which is called for at 10:30 tomor-
row morning. The representation for
the State Conference ?s. the minister
and another man, and must be a man
not a lady, from each of the Chris-
tian Churches of the fctate. This
constitutes the state conference, and
it is the same for every state. Their
work "will be to solve the problems
before them of supplying greater
Patronage.
funds for the missionary work, as
the rhnnrred conditions reouire it.
Until quite recently one dollar in
our money was equal to two dollars
of the Chinese money, but on account
of the war, the ratio has changed un
til the units are now nearly equal,
with the difference slightly in favor
of the American coin. Therefore the
work which our dollar has been do
ing in China heretofore, will now re
quire two dollars, in the place of the
one. The urgent need of the increas
ed contributons to the missionary
cause is emphasized, in the fact that
flour costs forty dollars per hundred
at Bolangi, Africa. Clarence Stenner
will be the delegate to the State Con
ference and will depart in the morn
ing for the meeting.
A LETTER FROM FRANCE.
Frem Thursday's I 'ally.
Somewhere in France.
February 15th. 191S.
Mr. Con Gillespie,
Plattsmouth, Nebr., F. S. A.
Dear sir: Just a few lines to let
you know I am well and feeling fine
able to eat all I get and enjoy every
bit of it. Oh, Con, I miss our 9:00
P. M.. oyster stew. Con, after I get
away from France, if I live through
it, I will go and stay at the Perkins
House all the time.
This was a very cold winter here.
We did not have any snow, hut we
had lots of frost and rain.
It freezes for two or three days
and then turns in warm and rains
for a day or two. which makes it
very disagreeable on foot and in fact
every wav.
The country is divided up in small
fields as it is in Ireland, surrounded
by a sod fence or embankment and
a very thick growth of briers and
wine bushes growing on all of them
and in addition to the briers and
whin bushes they have oak trees
planted about two rods apart and
they have chopped the trees about
ten feet from the ground some years
ago and the people keep chopping
the limbs and branches off the trees
and also chop the briers and whin
bushes down from these sod fences
and tie the same up in bundles like
you would oats and stack them up
and use the same for firewood. The
farmers do all their plowing with
oxen. They save all the farm yard
manure and have it out on the fields
just before they plow it up. The
farmers til the land a good deal on
the same principle that the people
do in Ireland. Their houses are all
rock and cement, some thatch roofs
some tile roofs. Address my mail to
