A BAPTIST MERGER
Closer Relations Between Societies
to Be Considered Next Week.
THERE'S SOME OVERLAPPING NOW
Any Steps Toward Generalization
Will Affect Home Mission
Work Only.

I merger, the coordination OF its de-
nominational societies, will come up for
discussion at the national Baptist ami
versaries next week in st. Paul. This
discussion Is really already begun, or,
rather, was begun several years ago, and
continued in religious papers. The decis-
ion in this matter will be of interest to
other denominations.
1t is believed the discussion has demon
strated IAN unbusinesslike and confusing
overlapping of the work of the societies
in the different phases of home missions
and has brought up the question whether
this can be obviated without arousing re-
sentiments that will throw the work into
confusion for time. It is believed, how
ever, that in foreign missions the prob
lens and methods are so distinctive 1t
might be unwise to combine with home
missions under one administration.
The program of the May Anniversar-
les at st. Paul next week is as follows:
Womens Baptist Home Mission Society
Twenty-f fifth anniversary. Monday evening
and Tuesday, May 10 and 20. President, Mrs
J. N. Grouse.

HE'LL RAISE Sc: TIL. THE DUST
A .LUMBERMAN's. BLIND PROMISE
. without Knowing How Much
Electrical Fountains.

Most Of the streets to be included in
the Elks carnival quarter and along
which booths are now being rapidly con-
structed are in such bad shape that the
executive committee has secured special
permission from the city council to put
them in presentable condition for the
fair. 49,. ~.-: .s=
In addition to the sand and gravel with
which the dee2 holes and ruts in the
pavement will be leveled up it was decid-
ed to put on top coat Of sawdust to be
wet down twice a day during the carni
val season. To secure the necessary
amount of sawdust which will foot up into
the tons, Eddie Murphy, the astute chair
man of the committee on grounds, stole
march on fnrominent lunlberman, who
has political aspirations r..
t. It occurred to Eddie that the lumber
man would probably be in an unusually
obliging frame of mind If approached at
this" time, and, he accordingly: asked him
I to show his interest ;ns the fair by con-
tributing "some> sa mdust for use about
f+the booths Si1sT eatgs1o e2fsi,a .s-ss-
s'Certainiy. certainly the lumberman
replied. .a"You car, have all you want" e.
."Thank vou," said Eddie, 1--WE will
make a reduisition on you directly" The
reuuisition was made yesterday when the
astonished lumberman was informed that
his company would be expected to pave
several blocks on each Of nine streets
in the carnival section with sawdust.
1''It will cost me S500.Tand I'll have to
ask the other. companies to help me out,
but I'm game to the finish" he said.
An Electrical Fountain.

the fair will be the electric fountain
which will be placed in the japanese tea
garden in the midway. IA prismatic ar

iected sixty feet into the air.
The booths are, nearly all in place, and

in readiness when the gates open. June 2.
Exhibitors have been. urged to get their

Workers Take Advantage of West
End Improvement Assn.'s Offer.
MANY NEW HOMES ARE ASSURED
The Plan Promises Big Things To-
ward Building Up the Sec
ton Affected.

Immediate success has come to the West
End Improvement association in it's eff
forts to secure desirable residents for
that district of the city in which it's en-
deavor is confined. Some time ago the
association announced that it would act
as broker for persons of limited means
who desire to build or buy homes and who
are not able to make any considerable
payment down. In other words, the as
ISOLATION said to every honest working
man in the city: "Your credit is good in
our neighborhood Come among us and
live" ..
Last week this plan was put into effect.
Circulars were sent out, and already a
dozen or more contracts have been made
which involve the addition of that many
families to the neighborhood, the associa-
tion acting as broker and making all nee
essary arrangements to secure the erec-
ton or sale of the houses desired. The
scheme, of course, is similar to that in
| use among the installment houses, only
it is applied to homes for the people in
| stead of to furniture. =. ..-a,.-
The associations circular was headed
.'Do you want to own your own home? p
and was signed by H. 0. Roberts, ]. H
Hanily, A. A. Allen, Charles HUM and
w. H. H. Pilgram. With it was sent a
| request for information, in the form of a
number of queries with blank spaces for
the answers. prospective residents we're
asked to state the amount of money they
desired to put into home; the amount
| they could pay in cash; and the size OF
| the subsequent monthly payments. II
| addition the present residence of the pc
titioner was requested, together with his
occupation, the duration OF his residence
| in Minneapolis and the amount Of rent he
| is now paying -..-.. '.~-
In addition to securing new residents the
| tn
| is kept in a clean and attractive condi-
ton, and that Objectionable establish
ments are not located within it's limits
The work has the Endorsement of the com
munity, and promises to result advan
| tageously for all concerned

VACANCIES TO FILL
The Charter Commission Prepare
to Recruit It's Strength.


Before proceeding farther in the move
ment for a new charter the Minneapolis
charter commission will seek Light as to
its legal status and how the vacancies on
the commission made by the death OF
Henry Winecke and the resignation of
James A. Peterson can be filled. The COM
mission met again last night and dis
cussed at some length plans for presenting
a revised charter to the people at the
next election. There were nine members
of the commission present. Various opin.
ions were expressed as to the wisest
course to pursue. Some were for submit
ting the present city charter with single
amendment providing for separate nunic-
ipal elections. Others thought the char
ter presented by the commission two years
ago should be again presented to the peo-
pie, with the Objectionable features cut
out. The majority of the commission took
this latter view Of the case. On the sug-
gestion of W. j. Dean, it was decided to
appoint committee of three to get from
the district court judges an opinion as to
the legal status of the commission and
how to proceed to fill the two vacancies
on the commission. The commission will
meet again, shortly at the call of the
chairman. ~ ,.
