I'll o conference of Methodist lead
ers called by Brthoj) Homer C. Stuntz
to consider the problems connected
with the proposed centenary fund of
which Methodism in the
' I'nited States is planning to raise,
concluded its sessions Thursday
m'c'.i. One hundred representatives
oi'tlie church in Iowa and Nebraska
were present. Of these 20 were dis-
' fricl superintendents, 00 pastors and
(he others laymen.
' The principal speaker of the coii
lorence was Bishop Lewis of China,
who brought an inspiring presenta
tion of the missionary needs oLthe
u'rjrch. v
file fund which it is proposed to
raise will be handled under the di
rection of the board of missions, and
' its-specific use will be to aid in the
moral and social rebuilding of the
world after the war. Half the fund
wiil be used in foreign work-aud the
. balance in home missions.
As a part of the plan for the home
land work provision is to be made
for aggressive downtown mission ef
forts, on broad social and religious
lines, in Omaha, and at least 30 other
' cities of the United States.
Plan of the Work.
Toward this fund Iowa and N"c
braska, with 25,000 members and 1,-
.500 ministers, is asked to contribute
m the next hve years $6.7:)0,0U0. 1 he
- organization to undertake this task
was given preliminary form at the
Thursday conference.
, There will be first an area council,
' with headquarters in the City National
Bank building., This will be composed
of the resident bishop, district super-
' intendents and a number of pastors
and laymen from each state. In ad
dition there will be conference coun
cils for each of the seven conferences
of the area, district councils in each
of the 32 districts, and local church
councils.
In the local councils the constit
uency wil be organized into groups
of 30. under carefully chosen leaders.
, It will be for these groups that the in
tensive preparation ior the campaign
will be made. i
. An executive secretary will be in
charge of the Omaha office. He, will
be appointed sho'rtly.
Mai Order Houses 'Must
Comply With Sugar Sales Rules
-Mail order houses shirjiing sugar
into Nebraska to be used ior canning
and preserving purposes, must com
ply with the certiltcatc rile, which
provides. that sales can be made only
on certificates issued to the purchaser
by the county food administrator.
This ruling was made yesterday after
noon by A. C. Lau, deputy food ad
ministraror, following advices from
Washington.. All mail order houses
will be notified to this effect.'
, Thejulc applies particularly to pur
chasers hu ing second or subsequent
lots. The Nebraska ruling is that cer
tificates must be secured from the
county administrator, but some mail
order houses have been shipping
withoaf such certificates.
The order also applies to mail oJ
der houses located in Nebraska aim
tdoing business in the various comi
ties. . '

of the following Americans appear on
today's overseas casualty list:
Killed in action, S. MacDonald, Los
Angeles. .
.Wounded: J. M. Banister, Omaha.
Gassed: T Mitchell, Sioux City.
The above reference" to the wound
ing of an Omaah boy is undoubtedly
a clerical error. Dr. J. M. Banister's
"son of the same name was killed in
action October 30, 1917. at Paeschen-
riale Ridge. A ew davs a8 the oc"
tor received notice from the Cana
dian government that his son iS offi
cially dead, although his bodyswas
not recovered. It is 'though he was
killed by an exploding shell and his
body blown to atoms. Young Banis
ter was a private in the Second Ca-
nadian mounted rifles.

ORDER COMES TO
QUIT TAKING MEN
IN ANYBRANCHES
Recruiting Officers Think Their
Jobs Are Gone and that
They Must "Work or
Fight."
"Does it mean 'work or fight' for
us?" was the question the men it; the
various recruiting stations in Omaha
asked v themselves Friday morning
when they read the Washington dis
patch stating that for the present no
more enlistments would be allowed
in any age.
"I suppose in a day or two vou'll
see an awkward squad fiom this of
fice out drilling on the streets," said
an officer at the army recruiting sta
tion. The first information received at
the local offices regarding the order
was the press dispatch. Telegrams
came to the army and the navy offices
before 9 o'clock, however, stating
that all men accented un to and in
cluding Thursday, August 8. might be
enrolled. No word bad been re
ceived at he .marine corps office at
that time, though the officer in charge
expected that the order would apply
to that arm of the service.
The Washington order interrupted
seriously plans which were under
way; at the army recruiting office for
an intensive drive for enlistments
during the .next few weeks. Fifteen
or twenty thousand circulars were to
be sent out, and every man who
would probably be Included in the
new draft ages was to be interviewed.
These plans will be sidetracked for
the present, at least. There is a reat
t'eal of routine work at each of the
offices, which will engage the time of
the men for a number of days, and it
is expected Hint the order mnII prob
ablv be withdrawn before long

The number of men who will be
thrown on the mercy of a cruel world
by the telegrams from the capital in
this district is, about a nundred.

Stephen Fulton, millionaire bachelor,
wondered what would happen to his for
tune when he died. To find the person
best qualified to handle his millions, he
sent checks for $100,000 to each of three
distant cousins, whom he had never seen
and then followed the checks m a
manner as unusual as was his original
idea. .
Eleanor H. Porter
has selected this as the opening inci
dent for her latest novel, "Oh, Money!
