Northern 6aptists to 81 Told That
Mission Funds Are Squandsrsd.
Dec Moines, May 22.-How many
cents In the dollar subscribed for for
eign missions ever reach the mission
held? This pertinent question will be
put direct to the delegates of the
Northern Baptist convention. which
begins its sessions this morning in the
coliseum, by the special commission on
home expenses Of foreign missions.
headed by the Rev. DIR, John b. Com
Pidge Of Philadelphia. Pa.
The report Of this special commits
sion. which was appointed at the con-
vention held a yea ago at Phila-
delphia, will be sensational in the ex-
IRENE and will create CONSERVATION
among the Baptist church people. ac-
cording to the predictions OF those
who claim to have a personal knowl-
edge vi the findings os :h:s commits
sion after it's year Of investigation.
1t Is alleged that the commission
openly will charge the American board
Of foreign missions with extravaganza
in the management Of its funds. 1t is
claimed that the board has used n
large proportion OF the funds at It's
eAcRoS" ~ AbS a VI otANo >"
aries and in the travelling representa-
tives in this country who make appeals
for subscriptions. In other words. say
those who claim to speak with author
ity, the board unwisely expends more
money In this country IN the agitation
and education of the subject of for
eign missions than in foreign mission
fields themselves. The commission, 1t
is said, asserts that the foreign mis-
sion board OF the Baptist church ex-
Ponds more for its home work than
any other denomination and Is pre-
pared to prove this statement by the
usa Of charts on which are printed
comparative figures OF the foreign
board of this denomination with other
denominations. 1t is expected that the
report will be made Thursday after
noon.
The board Of foreign missions is
prepared to defend its position. 1t is
claimed. and by the use of charts will
show that the Baptist church has the
credit Of larger mission subscriptions
than any other denomination OF pro-
p~ortionate numbers. due to h thor
ough work Of the foreign board in edu-
eating the church people OF this coun-
try to the needs of the foreign fields.

In January another appeal came tc
the court, this time from Vail. where
the East Boyer Telephone Company
claimed the right to occupy the streets
without a franchise. It was a cas- in
volving q small independent company
in a small town and attracted no at

AS such friends Of the court they
aided in trying to convince the cour,
that it went dead wrong In the Washto
case.
But the SQUIRT merely stated that II
has no intention Of backing up in It's
position giving cities and towns the
right to require franchises from tele-
phone companies, and until the COM
plexion of the our IL changed or the
legislature gets busy again the phone
builders will ave to come humbly to
the municipal authorities and ask FOL
franchises. The Vail case was In effect
a plea to the court to reverse its for
mer position and it failed.

Ames. May 22.-The 17-year locust IL
due to appear in many sections of Iowa
again this year. according to a bulletin
Issued this month by r. L. Webster, Of
the Iowa State College. The records
show. says Professor Wehster that the
locusts have not failed to put in their
appearance In 1914, 1851. 1878 and 1895,
so that their appearance this year Is
confidently expected.
The following warning is issued 10
the farmers Of the state:
In previous years the central, south
central and southeastern parts OF the
state were affected by this brood OF To-
Gusts. It may be expected to appear In
the following counties: Adair. Adams,
Audubon. Boone. Cass. Dallas, Davis,
Decatur, Des Moines, Greene. Hamil-
ton, Henry. Iowa. Jasper, Jefferson,
Johnson. Keokuk, Louisa. Madison,
Mahaska. Marion. Marshall. Monroe,
Muscatine. Polk. P~oweshiek. Ringgold,
Scott. Story, Taylor. Union, Van Buren,,
Wapello, Warren. Wayne, Webster.
.as Are Due Soon.
In 1895. when the locusts last ap-
peared in this area. they were less
abundant and covered a less extensive
territory than tkey did in 1873. The
counties named include the r at
fected in 1873. It is possible that the
area this year will be still less In ex-
tent on account Of the small amount
CT timber.
The locusts should appear about the
last week In May and remain for about
a month, disappearing about the first
of July. After having been in the soil
ever since 1895, the young %locusts, or
nymphs. as they are called. will come
near the surface this spring and
emerge from their long stay under
ground. Some Of the nymphs make
small earthen chambers or cones which
reach W. OF three inches above the
ground. but not all Of them do this.
Protective Measures.
While the '17-year locusts may cause
considerable injury. this is seldom as
serious as m might expect from their
numbers. The female cicades cause
injury to young trees by depositing
their eggs on twigs and small branches.
This stunts the growth Of the affected
'brer hes.
Farmers, fruit growers and nursery
