THE RECONSTRUCTION FUND New York. Jan. 28 —The National Lutheran Council is meeting with a hearty response in every part of the ■huri h to its appeal for $500,000, for Reconstruction Service. The campaign date has been set for Feb. 16-26, the matter was placed before all the officials of the church and before the leading laymen for their qprcval and sympathetic cooperation. Thi - course is necessary as the American Lutheran church is organized democratically and all general undertakings must have the approval of all. The replies indicate that the Lutheran church as a body stands behind the reconstruction programme of the council and it is confidently expected that the fund asked for will be largely oversubscribed. The budget of the Lutheran church for after war needs is a million dollars; $500,090, of that is intended for oldiers and sailors’ welfare during he period of demobilization, $500,000, for reconstruction work at home and abroad. The present campaign is for 3500.000, as there are still sufficient funds on hand to complete the soldiers and sailors’ programme. j “CORRECTION IS MADE A few days ago the Democrat published an item relative to a drop of 55 degroes within a few hours in the temperature followed by several feet of snow, in Bloomington, Indiana. The person from whom the reporter gain' d the information, was one who fat' il that word relative to the same had been sent by Ralph (’rill, a student in Indiana University. Mr. Crill in a letter to the Democrat, asks for a correction of the same, and sent a copy of the Indiana Student, which was a special "Yellow Journalism sheet published January 21. composed of lies, and in this was a “yellow journalism" article on the weather and the ten or twelve feet of snow published therein. A copy had been sent home by Ralph and the informant of this paper, had read the same and not knowing it was a “yellow journalism copy, had thought it was the truth, hence the false statement in the Democrat. Ralph writes, asking for a correction of the same. He says in his letter that “several feet of snow in Bloomington, is preposterous.” However. it is not preposterous. At Christmas time in northwestern Texas, several feet of snow fell, where other years, snow lasted scarcely long enough to tell what the flakes loqk like. At Chrstmas time traffic was tied up in Texas, and it was impossible for Christmas reunions to be held on account of the inability of travel. And Texas is much further south than Bloomington.
