Mt.

Pleasant, June Iowa Wesleyan campaign for one-half million of dollars lacks $76,000 of completion. It will close Friday, June 30. With only thirty hours left the task seems to be almost appalling. There has been a widespread under current to the effect that the closing data would either be extended, or that the committee was possessed 'of several large sums of money, which were being held back until the last moment. The campaign closes Friday, June 30.

Every worker quits at that time, whether the money is raised or not. The organization automatically goes out of existence at midnight Friday. Dr. John W. Hancher of the board of education of the M.

B. church returned Wednesday from the meeting of jubilee committee. Dr. Hancher has just been elected director of that tremendous organisation, which baa in contemplation he raising of some twenty-two millions of dollars for Methodist cholleges within the next twenty months. Dr.

Haneher has given nearly six weeks of his time to the Iowa Wesleyan campaign, a greater contribution than, has ever before been made by the board of education to any college. He is thoroughly In touch with the situation here, and with President Schell, stated in an interview last evening that there was positively not one single dollar in sight or subscribed that has not been duly credited upon the present total. In summarizing the situation Dr. Hancher declared the trouble lay with the comparatively small number of subscribers. The total of $275,000 raised towards the conference unit of $350,000 was subscribed by less than three thousand people out of a constituency of forty-two thousand.

Simpson college at Indianola recently concluded a campaign for $330,000 given by six thousand people. Morningslde college won a $276,000 campaign with six thousand six hundred subscriptions. It can be seen from the abovo that the average for the Wesleyan gifts is unusually high. But three thousand people have failed to get into the fight. If the Methodists intend to save their institution they will have to act at once.

There is seventy-five thousand dollars to be raised and only thirty hours left. Subscriptions, given voluntarily, for there is no opportunity to interview three thousand' people, must be mailed, wired or phoned into the office at Mt. Pleasant at once. The standing of the districts In round numbers Is as follows: Conference unit of $350,000. District.

Appor. Raised. Muscatine district $100,000 $85,000 Ottumwa district 100,000 75,000 Oskaloosa district 76,000 66,000 Out of conference 27,000 Burlington district 75,000 WEST WANTS JOB IN IOWA Des Moines, June state free employment bureau has received an application for farm work from an Englishman in St. Peters, Barbados, British West Indies.
