Kansas City.--Representatives of How much should I give to make this a better world? CERTAIN man in New York filled oui his income tax report. It showed an income so large that his tax was 53%. And his total gifts to church and char- ity for the year were $148. Think of it—thousands spent for luxuries and fleasure for himself; and $148 to leave the worid @ little better than he found it! Most of us do better than that; but not so very much better. Our average daily gift for all church causes is —less than we spend for daily papers —Jess than a local telephone cal —le$s than a third of the day's car fare —dess than 3 cents a day No wonder that 80% of the ministers of Amer:ca are. paid less than $20 a week. No wonger that the church hospitals turn away thousands of sick people a year. No wonder that China has only one doctor for every 400,000 people. No wonder that every church board and charity society is forever meeting deficits, forever passing the hat, It isn’t because we are. selfish; it isn’t because we don’t want to helpt It's just because no one has ever put up a great big program to us, and asked us to think, of the work of the church in a systematic businesslike way. ‘The Interchurch World Movement represents the united program of thirty denominations. They have surveyed their whole task, no business could have done it better. They have budgeted their needs; no business could have amore scientific budget. They have united to prevent the possibility of waste and duplication. At leasi a milliott dei- lars will be saved by the fact that thirty individual cam- paigns are joined in one united effort. And they come to the men or women who love America —to you— this week asking you to use them as thechan- nel through which a certain definite part of your income can be be applied to make this a better world. Only you can determine what part of your income that should be. I-’s a good time right now to answer that question We're passing through the world just once; how much better will the world be because you passed through?

The real American soldier is | absolutely and positively oppos- ed to the use of the uniform for commercial purposes, because the sight of a soldier peddling, panhandling, canvassing or sol- iciting in uniform creates the falacious impression that he has | been neglected and is obliged to resort to the public through the patriotic appeal of his uniform, to make aliving. As one ex- service man puts it: “There are crooks and crooks virtually every wheat-raising commun- lity in the United States, attending the annual convention of the National | Wheat Growers’ association, voted un- |animously to form a national combine for the control of cereal products. Agricultural experts in attendance said the organization would be the largest combine of farmers ever at tempted. | Elimination of the middleman is one of the first purposes enumerated in the resolution. A committee of seven was appoint jed to outline the ofganization. Mem- bers of the committee are Maurice Aulifee, Salina, Kan.; John Pavenkost, Nebraska; C. H. Hyde, Oklahoma; A. V. Swift, Oregon; A.
