Big PLANS FOR
EPWORTH LEAGUE
VALLEY CITY cHAUTAUoUA WILL
HAVE BIG CROWD OF
LEAGUERs IN 1912.

Valley City, N. D. June TO-
Plans are already made to have the
four districts OF the state represented
at great Epworth League conven-
ton to be held on the Valley City
Chautauqua grounds at the time of the
assembly next year. The best talent
the church can afford will be brought
to this gathering to deliver lectures,
and in all probability to do institute
work such as is done at Minnetonka
and other great centers Of religious in
terest.
This viii give the young people the
privilege of the very best religious
instruction and inspiration, as well as
the splendid talent the Chautauqua
presents.
This idea Of interesting the young
people began in the local chapter of
the Methodist church of this city. 1t
was first suggested that they invite
the Fargo District Convention to meet
here next year during the assembly.
The invitation was enthusiastically ac-
cepted by the Fargo District Epworth
League convention which met at Cas-
selton this week.
The pastor Of the local church, Rev.
James Anderson, interviewed District
Superintendent J. G. Moore Of Grand
Forks and c. e. Yermilya of Minot
and they very heartily commended the
plan, and suggested the invitation be
broadened to take in the Epworth
League chapters Of the other districts.
Each agreed TO do all in their power
to bring the young people of their dis
tricts to this gathering.
The commercial club has agreed to
back the local chapter in an invitation
to the Epworth Leaguers of the entire
state.
Rev. Anderson and DIR. Zimmerman
went to jamestown yesterday where
the Bismarck District convention was
in session and presented the matter
to them. They passed a resolution
accepting the invitation and recon-
mending the plan for great state
rally to be held in Valley City during
the chautauqta assembly.
The Chautauqua association greatly
appreciate the effort1 of those who
have secured this gathering Of young
PEOPLE for next years assembly.
Valley City is bound to have a great
Chautauqua assembly.

EMMET APLEY FINDS DAUGHTER
IN CARE OF JUVENILE COURT
IN PORTLAND.


Portland, Ore. June 20.--After a
search of twelve years for his 14-year-
old daughter. Emmett p. Apley of Bis
marck, N. D., today found her in this
city, recovering her from the custody
OF the Juvenile court, in which charge
she had been for the last few weeks.
The girl had no recollection Of her
parent and Apley had not seen her
since she was surrendered by him to a
public charitable institution in Mime
sofa when she was 10 months old.
Apley was In Strengthened circum-

the death OF his wife when the infant
was but II days old left the father dis

vided for the child as best he could I'M
til she was IL months old. when he de-
cided to place her in an institution
where she would receive better care
than he could afford to give her. This
was done, the child being committed
to the control of the state public school
in Owatonna, Mimi. To do this the
father was required to renounce his
right as parent ana permit the trustees
of the institution to become its legal
guardian.
Almost Immediately the girl attracted
the attention Of Mr.. and Mrs. E. r.

applied for and received the custody
and guardianship of the infant. The
girl has been with them until family
