Smith of Glencoe Has Been Appointed By Bishop Nicholson to Care for the Soldiers. STATIONED AT ROCKFORD Granted a Leave of Absence for the Duration of War. By Staff Correspondent. Camp Grant, Ill, Sept. 14--(Spe- cial).--The Methodist church is go- ing to follow and protect her boys in uniform. As the soldier follows the flag, so will the church follow the soldier. For the first time in the history of this denomination a movement on a large scale has been put under way which will bring the church to the very door of the cantonment. Denom- inations cannot occupy quarters within, but there is no ruling to stop them from organizing within and meeting without. The only two or- ganizations of a religious nature per- mitted in camp are the Y. M. C. A. and the Knights of Columbus, the first representing the protestant churches, the latter the Catholic. At Work at All Camps. Not only at this camp but at the fifteen other cantonments through- out the United States will the wel- fare of the Methodist soldier be guarded by the church. The bishops of the various areas have been in- structed by the general board to se- lect one man to represent the church at each camp. For Camp Grant the selection rested with Bishop Thomas Nichol- son, and as was the natural thing for him to do he went to the north shore for his man. He found him and the man arrived this morning ready for work. He is Rev. Horace G. Smith, a graduate of Northwestern univer- sity and for a number of years sec- retary of the College Y. M. C. A. The last few years he has been living in Evanston and preaching at Glencoe. At the request of the bishop he has been granted a leave of absence by the Glencoe church for the duration of the war. Started Work This Morning. Rev. Smith was found By the rep- resentative of the Winnetka Talk this morning sitting at a writing desk in the cantonment Y. M. C. A. busily engaged in writing a letter home with the news that he had arrived safely. He was asked to talk work he was sent here to "It is rather premature talk about my plans," he said, "as I have been here but a few minutes and have not had time to study the ground. "Of course my chief purpose of being here is to watch after the in- terests of Methodists among the of- ficers and drafted men. We have hundreds of them, and like myself, they are strangefs to this camp and to Rockford. We intend to arrange entertainments for them, hold meet- ings and keep them from becoming lonesome. Much of our work will be done in conjunction with the Y. M. C. A. but we want the Methodists in camp to know that the church knows they are here and that the churc his here to aid them. I be- lieve most of our plans will work themselves out, but those that won't I must engineer. Churches Must Co-Ooperate. " Iwill spend most of my time this week in visiting the pastors and board of elders of the five Methodist churches in Rockford. All the work we will do out here will be done either directly or indirectly through those churches. We must have the co-operation of every Methodist in Rockford to make our plan a success.

We hope to have the churches keep open house for these boys--a place where they can go and find a warm spot with piano and music and a place to which they will be anxious to return. Place of Welcome. "In short, T will try to organize the five churches of our denomina- tion in Rockford so that the mem- bers will extend the right hand of fellowship and brotherly love to these boys who are away from home, so that they will feel perfectly at ease and know that other persons than their parents and relatives are interested in their welfare. "Then, too, as the representative of my church, I will co-operate with the municipal authorities and civic organizations in making Rockford a safe place for the boys in uniform. "It is new work for me and new work for the church itself, but I be- lieve there is a great need for just such a thing, and certainly the least the churgh can do for these boys who are sacrificing their time, their business and possibly their lives for their country, and thereby indirectly for the churches and the church members, is to encircle the camp with the church's net of comradship, brotherly love and kindness." | SB 0.0.0.

BRAZIL FARMERS WANT TRACTORS TO AID MEN than very large farms and ext South America Is Becoming a Real Market for Motors. Another market for the foreign tractor, should the American manu- facturers get in position to supply the demands for tractors, may be found not only in this country, but in Brazil, as the present prosperity of that country has led to a renewed in- terest in modern agricultural meth- ods and to a demand for all sorts of American farm machinery and imple- ments, according to a report by the bureau of foreign and domestic com- merce. It is expected that the in- dustrial and agricultural revival that has taken place in Brazil since the first period of depression that fol- lowed the outbreak of the war will make itself felt for many years to come. Agricultural condition in each of the Brazilian states are described at length in the report, and the point the present war.
