Foot Severed by Mowing Machine. With her right foot cut off for three hours Monday morning little Virginia Dixon’s life hung in the balance|and on the tight-bound tour niquet rigged by her panic stricken parents, until the arrival at the homestead of Dr. Wm. Lough of Ed- meston and Dr. L. C. Van Wagner of New Berlin. The accident occurred near the home of the little girl’s father, William Dixon who resides on the Grant Low farm, two and one-half miles from New Berlin, northwest in the town of Columbus. Harold Moore, the hired man started out early to cut the millet which stood four or five feet high in a field ad joining the house. He had nearly made the circuit and was on the downslope near the house when the guard of the mowing machine’s knife- bar caught on a stone and Moore stopped the machine to raise the bar. The noise of the slashing knives stilled he heard the sound of a child’s voice raised in terrified weeping. Looking around he saw employer’s daughter lying in the field along side of the swath he had just cut down, her right foot cut clean above the ankle. Jumping down Moore ran back and carried the moaning child the short distance to the house where first-aid methods wete Used to stop the Spurting stream of life blood* Vain efforts were made to procure doctors from Sherburne, New Berlin and South New Berlin and finally Dr. Lough of Edmeston was located. Shortly after his arrival at 11 o’clock Dr. VanWagner of New Ber lin came to the Dixon home also and the two physicians dressed and bound up the wound. Tuesday noon the Sun-Telegraph representative at Columbus reported that the little girl was resting com fortably, a nurse having been pro cured to watch over and minister unto her. It is expected that she will recover from the loss of- blood and shock and eventually will be fitted with one of the ingenious arti ficial feet which have been perfected with such scientific care since the world war out break.—Norwich Sun, Tuesday. Otsego County Improvement Assoc’n. The executive committee and manager of the Otsego County Im provement Association are devoting every effort to whip into shape a definite program for each of the four projects suggested by the 300 farm ers, business and professional men who attended the organization meet ing of the Association. Experts in forestry and road construction are b§ing consulted and the opinions of the ditectors, forty of whom have recently been visited on their farms or in their places of business by Mr. Barlow, are being secured. We are assured that the reader will watch the columns of his paper that any and all developments may be learned about. The Association has adopted the slogan ‘.\Otsego—the best county in New York,” and it is expected that a majority of the progressive citizens of the county will enlist during this week of membership campaign. They will join the Association and then boost. There are three fundamental ideals which must underlie all efforts of the members to make Otsego the best. These have been beautifully expressed by Jared VanWagenen of Lawyersville, Schoharie county. Mr, VanWagenen is a successful farmer and community worker. Mr. Barlow wrote him about the plans of the association and in his reply he said in “ The first is a conception of com munity solidarity that includes with in its vision and hope and ministry, all men and women who live within its bounds. This means that no class or clan can ignore any other. It means that no city and village and lonely farm on the hill top belong to one great family and anything that helps or hinders one is the common concern of all. It means a new ^working out of an old philosophy, “ No man liveth to himself and no man dieth to himself.” “ And the second ideal is this: That all building plans must have the * elements of faith and patience and * the distant look,for we labor not only , for ourselves, but for our children’s children. Some must needs lay I foundations only that others may \ build thereon, and we may remember I that agriculture above all other call ings, comes to its full fruitage by slow growth rather than sudden crea- , tion.” ! “ Then the last and greatest is this: ‘Community building is founded. I not on itself, but on service and our ideal is this a city and country-side, j where, progressively with the years, I life grows richer and better with full opportunities for every child and social justice for all.” Statement IN FIVE YEARS. ^THE POETS SAY: £ I “Great Oaks I Tiny I I -Scorns Grow.” t h e THRIFTY m a n SAYS: “Comfoi table bank accounts are the result of-systematic saving and lead to great opportunities.” \YAR SAVINGS STAMPS IN 1924 WILL FORM THE NUCLEUS OF A COM FORTABLE BANK ACCOUNT.

Never before has a movement to develop Christian character received such widespread and generous en dorsement as that accorded the New York State Interdenominational Sun day School campaign, which will be conducted Oct. 6 to 13, Business and professional men and women practically are unanimous throughout the state in endorsing it, and urging the general public to con tribute to it while religious leaders, regardless of denominational lines, are giving it their strongest support. A conspicuous example of a busi ness man and public official supporting the campaign is offered in the case of State Comptroller Eugene M. Trav- is, who believes in the movement so thoroughly that he consented to be come chairman of it. Anyone who doubts that red-blood ed men, the kind of men who made up the fighting forces of the United States, are interested in the Sunday school and seeing that it gives the best possible religious education to the children and youth should be come staunch supporters of the cam paign when they know that Lieuten ant Colonel Theodore Roosevelt of Oyster Bay is a member of the state wide executive committee. Says It Must Succeed. Other big men who are backing the campaign because they feel very keenly that the Sunday school needs to improve itself to meet modern conditions and that there is a present- day opportunity confronting it at home and abroad include Stephen D. Baker of the Bank of the Manhattan company of New York, F. A. Barton of the Franklin Motor company of Syracuse, Dr. Charles E. Welch, grape juice manufacturer of Westfield, and Horace Reed, one of the leading busi ness men of Buffalo. Fred B. Smith, one of the foremost business men in the country and a man who for years has been interest ed in the great movements that have been designed to further Christianity, encourage right living and build char acter, has said the Sunday school campaign must be put over the top. Arthur M. Harris of Harris, Forbes & Co., bankers of New York city, ex pressed approval of th§ campaign thus: ^ “The financial campaign in the in terest of Sunday schools is of vital importance to all Christian people in the Empire State. The Sunday school has been and is the greatest feeder for the church, and if the church of Christ is to be extended at home and abroad, it must be done primarily by bringing in the children and young people. The religious training of the children of the world will determine the attitude of the men and women of coming generations towards civiliza tion and the teachings of the Frince of Peace.” Hope of the Nations. Among the church leaders who not only are working but praying for the success of the campaign are Dr. Ed gar Blake of Chicago, secretary of the Methodist Episcopal Sunday school board; Bishop William Burt of the Buffalo area of the Methodist church; Bishop Luther B. W'^ilson of the New ' York area of the Methodist church; S. A. Weston, secretary of the Con gregational Board of Sunday schools; W. Edward Rafferty and William A. Chalmers of the American Baptist Publication society; Milton S. Little field,' district education secretary of the Congregational church; C, W. Laufer of the Presbyterian board of Publication and Sabbath school work; Rufus W. Miller, secretary of the Publication and Sunday school board of the Reformed church in the United States, and J. W. Gower, correspend- ing secretary of the Board of Publi cation and Sunday School work for the Dutch Reformed church. Dr. Blake has made this endorse ment: “Thti hope of the nations is in the religious and moral training of the youth. Under our present political S5stem the church is the only institu tion that can or does provide for such training. The Sunday school is the one and only agency that is at tempting to teach the boys and girls of America those fundamental truths of religion and morality that make for a sound and righteous cltizensliip- From a patriotic point of view, it from no other, every good citizen ought to give his ardent support to any movement that means the strengthening of the Sunday school work of the nation.” R e ligion B a s is of D e m o c racy. Mr. Gower of the Dutch Reformed church wrote: “The New York State Interdenom inational Sunday school campaign for the purpose of adequately financing the county, state, international and world's associations is opportune, for it emphasizes in this reconstruction period the need of religious education as a foundation for true democracy. Democracy must be founded on relig ion or it must inevitably fall. Chris tian ideals do not come without plant ing Christian truths in the heart of a child. It is the judgment of Benjamin Kidd, an authority on Social Democ racy, that the world can be changed ill a single generation, if its child hood be religiously trained for the new era. I trust that our people- every where will contribute to this worthy cause.” Majestic Ranges. No better are made. It interested in furnaces call and see tbe ROUND OAK one pipe. O. SMEADER, SOUTH NEW BERLIN, NEW YORK. RALLY DAY AIMED TO STIR WORKERS When You Buy Groceries You Want the Best duality At the Bight Prices. We are prepared to give you this kind ot service. Come and see us. R. & J. CAMP. I Suhday school rally day will be ob served Sunday, Oct. 5, by churches throughout the state in an effort to call public attention to the New York Interdenominational Sunday school campaign, which will be carried on from Oct. 6 to 13. Pastors have been asked to preach sermons on the purposes of the cam paign, or at least to make announce ments concerning it, and the number >of responses from city and rural churches indicate that on this day a mighty appeal will be made to the church people of the commonwealth to contribute to an enlarged program of Sunday school activity. The campaign proper will start Monday, Oct. 6, in 16 divisions, com prising groups of counties. It will continue for a week, and in that time it is expected that the thousands of workers who have been enrolled will be successful in raising the various budgets agreed upon in the several cou n ty Keep Working to the End. Sunday, Oct. 12, the last day before the close of the drive, will be known as church day. Workers will visit the churches and aided by announce ments from pastors will ask the friends they meet for contributions to the four-year program that has been prepared. No collection is to be taken in church, hut the pledges and gifts are to be obtained individ ually. Then Monday, Oct. 13. will be “Over the Top” ffay, and everybody is confident that if the organization plan is carried out and the volunteers who have agreed to make the solici tations as team members do their v/ork—stand by their guns—it will in deed mean that success has been won. Appeal t» Public. Many communities plan to exceed their quotas, but this does not mean that they are to stop work before the end of the campaign. They are to go right on and raise as much money as possible to offset any possible losses in.places where committees fail to raise their quotas. The campaign leaders everywhere have tried hard to make the peop?* realize that it will take more than gifts of a few dollars a year to put this campaign over the top. Large gifts absolutely are needed- Without many of them, failure is sure, hut this does not imply that the contri bution of the person able to give only a small amount is not just as wel come and necessary as the largest donation. # State Chairmaai Fiigene M. Travis, W. C. Pearce, director of field promo tion, and E. J. Hockenbury, campaign director, have issued a final state ment, appealing to the workers tii fight hard for success and asking tka people to give liberally for advance ment (?£ religious education for chil dren through the Sunday school at home and in the mission fields.
