The Rev. W. B. Freeland, superintendent of the Richmond district of the Methodist church, has just returned from a quarterly trip oVer the district, and reports that conditions are ot unusually good, but are satisfactory. "With a few exceptions," said the Rev. M. Freeland, "the finances throughout the district are in a satisfactory condition. This is the end of the third quarter of the church year, and the next quarter will be spent in revivals and a general attempt to arouse the entire district. I believe that by the end of the year, when we meet in annual conference at Mishawaka on April 1, our district will be able to make good reports." Many Build Edifices. Of the thirty-five churches that the Rev. Mr,. Freeland visited, many of them are building either new church edifices or parsonages. At Cleveland, the charge under the Rev. R. J. Black his improve the church at a cost of $3;000, and will soon dedicate it. At Maxville an excellently equipped and modern church building is be erected at a cost of $9,000, and will be ready for dedication about the first of-March. The church will be known as the Dr. Jj. N. Davis Memorial church. At Kennard, Lewisburg and Salomonia parsonages valued at about $2,000 each have been purchased. The pastors of the district are turning their attention to revivals to arouse interest in church work, and the congre

gations at Wilkinson, Dunkirk and other places are particularly interested In this work. Rev. O. W. Martin, of Economy, and Rev! E. P. Morris, of New Castle, are changing charges in a revival attempt. At Mechaniscburj? the Methodist pastor has attracted iliuch attention by his activity in apprehending and arresting illicit liquor dealers, says Superintendent Free-land.

" iSiif she? And I didn't say you hadn't been. What I did say and what I say right nere again Is that we've got to cut down somewhere. But what's in that to make you hysterical? And your letter about "earning money" yourself, and paying your "share of the expenses" was a lot of rot! I didn't say anything about wanting you to work did I? You've got your job right there attending the house and Winifred. What you need is more common sense and less hysteria. That's what you've always needed. You're constantly going off at some wild tangent about some blooming thing or other, And this last idea of yours about "working." You couldn't make enough to earn your salt. Now get all such nonsense out of your head. As I wired you this is no time for heroics. By George! If I " was marrying again I'd be mighty darn certain that the woman had one thing Common Sense. But it's a quality that women have precious little of and you've none at all. Now I've got about all I can handle out here without being bothered with any more hysterical melodramatic letters from you. Didn't even read all the last one. Got far enough to know that you'd sent back the check because you went up in the air at what I said about cutting down expenses, and

about my not being able to take up ! Helen sat

Within the last eighteen months the post office has lost at least $10.Wt on account of the removal of the offices of the Rumely Co.. and the taking over of the sales department of the American Seeding Machine Co., by the International Harvester Co., and

after overcoming this loss the busl- ! ness still shows an increase of over ' $2000 for that period. This indicates

that the other business of the city has increased greatly. Parcel Post a Factor. The parcel post feature will also account for some of this increase. The work was started in January of the present year with a carrier delivering on foot for about two hours per day. It now requires the full time of on man for about nine hours and the us? of a horse and wagon. The Postal Savings System shows an increase in deposits of about $3000 for the year, the heaviest month beins; December and the amount $172t. The bond issues for 1912 were $1540. and for 1913, $3600.

She stooped and picked up the check from the floor where it had fallen. She had sent back the other one. But she dare not send back this. She needed it too desperately.
