 Befcre they went into session the American de egates had no idea which of the several phases of the situation was to be broached.

CONFERENCE TO PAY TO THEo- LOGICAL DEPARTMENT OF
 VANDERBILT UNTIL JUNE.
Methodist Conference Adiourns With Many Memorials, Petitions and Resolutions Left on the Calendar.

Oklahoma City okla, May 23.-- The General Conference of the Meth odist Episcopal Church, South, ad- iourned tonight with many memo rials, resolutions and petitions left on the calendar.
 The chairmen of the various com mittees fought hard to have their par ticular measures brought before the attention of the conference before the hour of adjourning, which was set at Ii o'clock.
 The majority of the delegates will remain in Oklahoma City until Mon day morning, but few will remain to attend board meetings which have been called to meet after the ad- journment of the conference.
 The chief measures passed today were the recommendation that bishops have four years consecutive Episcopal jurisdiction in the various mission fields of the church and the refusal to again submit to the annual conferences the question relating to the change of the name of the church, and lastly the regulation of evange- lists travelling within the bounds of the church.
 The place for holding the next con ference will not be determined by this conference has been intrustec to q special committee elected for that purpose. It is believed that either Atlanta or Richmond will be the decision of the committee, who will not make their report until the various claims of both places have been investigated.
 The different Protestant pupi will be filled tomorrow by delegates attending the conference. Bishop T.. E. Hoss will preach in the morning and Bishop R. c. Warehouse at night at St. Luke's Methodist church, the seat of the conference.
 The afternoon session of the con- ference was opened with religious services conducted by R. c. Elliott of Mexico City.
 The committee on education recom- mended that S105,000 be raised per annum to be spent at the discretion of the board of education, and that all money due the theological depart ment of Vanderbilt university up to June 30, 1914, be paid.
 By a vote of the conference the amount was reduced to $95,000, which was the assessment during the past four years.
 The committee on boundaries and finance submitted lengthy report which outlined a plan to budget all benevolent collections into one, to be divided among the different boards of the church. After discussion by J. Nj. Moore, w. F. McMurray, w. D. Bradfield and J. w. Perry, a commits sion was ordered to consider the plan. It was believed that the con ference would have voted down the proposition.
 After voting on some minor ques- tions at the afternoon session, the conference adjourned by singing the Doxology.

URRUTIA MAKES
 HIS ESCAPE
HUERTA'S FORMER MINISTER SPIRITED OUT OF VERA CRUZ
 BY AMERICAN OFFICERS.
Urrutia Loud in Praise of Efforts Made to Save His Life and Declares He Will Become American Citizen.

Vera Cruz, May 23.-After five days of virtual imprisonment in a hotel here, where he was held under guard against personal enemies, Dr.. Aureliano Urrutia, who was minister of interior in Iluertas cabinet, and who recently fled from the capital to escape Huerta's wrath, was quietly taken aboard the United States trans port Hancock late today by the Amer ican authorities to be carried to Gal weston.
 So Quietly was the transfer made that few outside of those personally enlisted in the task of removing the eX-minister, his wife and six children and their personal belongings to the transport were aware of the occur renee. Early in the afternoon Lieu tenant Aristides Moreno of Judge Ad- vocate Porter's staff, called at the hotel with two army automobiles and whisked the unwelcome guests tC the sanitary pier, where Rear Ad- miral Badgers barge was waiting.
 Before the trip to the water front began marine guards were posted ln- conspicuously along the route with squads covering the cross streets and watching windows. Marines were in the automobiles and mounted ma rines followed closely.
 Even guests at the hotel and the loungers about the cafe tables under the portals were not aware that the much-hated Mexican had been slipped away until hours after his departure.
 Dr. Urrutia over and over again expressed his gratitude to the Ameri- can officers for the care they had taken in guarding him from his enc mics and assured the lieutenant that he would seek American citizenship
 Dr. Urrutia declared he intended to go to New Orleans, where he prob. ably would establish permanent residence and make application for American naturalization.

NORTH DAKOTA HORSE
BREAKS STATE RECORD

North Dakota not only raises agri-
cultural products of all kinds and the
best of everything in it's line, but she
is going rapidly into the raising of
blooded stock and horses. The stock
parade at the Interstate Fair which
closed at Grand Forks last week was
almost mile long. In this parade was
represented the best grades of dairy
and beef cattle and draft and driving
horses. James J, Hill, the empire
builder of the Northwest, who was
present at this parade, pronounced it
as a revelation, to one not familiar
with progressive North Dakota. In
his address to the farmers given at the
Fair, Mr.. Hill stated that there is no
richer land on earth than is included
within the borders of North Dakota.
Not only beef and dairy cattle and
work horses were represented, but a
North Dakota horse, Don Densmore,
born and bred in the state and owned
by Dave Dinnie of Minot, set new
state record for speed in race when
he went mile in 2:06 Ia on half
mile track. Experts agree that this
record means that the horse is capable
of 2:02 IL on mile track. Don Dens-
more is making an enviable record in
the best races in the country.

A large number of fine large farm
homes are being constructed in the
county this year. In driving about the
country, we were greatly surprised
at the large number of splendid farm
homes. There's nothing that makes
life worth living on the prairie so
much as good comfortable house sur
rounded by trees. All that we need
to make this country an ideal place in
which to live are good spacious mod
ern farm homes-and trees. Don't
forget the trees and the garden. If
your wife becomes dissatisfied with
her life on the farm, sit down some
evening and plan the new farm home
and then build it as soon as you are
liable.

Hundreds of farmers wives take the
place of men on the farm every fall.
Many drive the binders as capably as
the men, Most of them like the out of
door work. This is all right, as long
as they confine their efforts to the
lighter forms of work. In some in
stances, however, we have seen women
and girls doing work that was far too
hard for them. Farmers should not
be short sighted. 1t is not right to
allow our women to work too hard,
as ambitious as they may be to help.
It means the doctor later on, and he
will cost you many times what you
have saved in wages. Many farmer
who takes the best of care Of his
horses and cows neglects to urge his
wife to take life easier.

ident wants our laws changed so that
foreign merchant vessels may be reg
istered and ply the oceans under our
flag. Most Of the other nations have
laws Of this nature but Uncle Sam
never got around to attend to this.
With the European nations involved in
war, not vessel dares set sail, as it
may be picked up as contraband of
war. American tourists in these
countries will be bottled up unless
they happen to be in England and if
that country gets into the fray they
will have a hard time getting back.
Now is the time to build up our
merchant marine. Heretofore we
have been unable to cope with the for
eign countries, for with cheaper labor
they could build ships cheaper than we
could, consequently we have never
been able to compete with them.

There are many men looking for
work in Minot and some Of the other
towns. Haying is on in full blast and
harvest has commenced at some of the
farms. Farmers are in town every
day looking for hands, offering $500
a day for haying. The wages for har-
vest and threshing will run from
$3.50 to $500. A better class of la
borers than usual have come for this
falls work.

Nearly hundrd Ward county farl

Nearly a hundrd Ward county farm
ers and their wives were guests of the
businessmen of Minot on an auto trip
of 65 miles last Sunday. The day was
spent inspecting the work done under
the supervision of the Better Farming
Association. We know that the farm,
ers enjoyed the day and the business
men were glad to be with them. The
farmers and businessmen do not take
the trouble to mingle with each other
enough. Arrange several trips of this
nature during the summer. It's good
thing for all concerned. Next time
we want to see more farmers bring
their wives.

FARM LOAN ASSOCIATION.

NOrCn DdkOCd SnOulu make al Or
ganized effort to establish in this state
a farm loan association similar to
those now working in several other
states. There is no one thing that will
help the farmers of our state more
than cheaper money. The farmer can
not pay from 8 to ~ per cent and ex-
list. The following taken from the
Farmer and Breeder of Sioux City,
Iowa, will prove interesting to our
readers. Some similar action will un-
doubtedly be taken soon:
Congress decided some time ago
that it would tackle no rural credits
measure at this session. What it may
do in the future remains to be seen,
but the chances are that any federal
law that may be enacted will fall far
short of meeting the demands all over
the country. So insistent is the de-
mand for better rural credit system,
and so much publicity has been given
to the needs Of agriculture in meeting
the growing demand for food prod
ucts, that private farm loan associa-
lions will no doubt be established in
the near future to help finance the new
and intensive farming system that
must be developed during the next de-
cade if production is to keep apace
with consumption.
Some farm loan companies have al
ready been organized in Wisconsin,
and Ohio that are making longtime
farm loans on the amortization or in
stallment plan, as it might be called,
which consists of the borrower paying
off small part of the Indebtedness
each year. More recently the American
Rural Credit Association has been in
corporated under the laws Of Mary
land to do business in Nebraska, Col
orado, Wyoming, Utah, Idaho, Wash
ington, Oregon, and possibly also the
Dakotas. At least one Office will be
maintained in each state in which bus
mess is done. The plan is to furnish
money to farmers at five per cent on
land mortgages. The money may be
borrowed for five years or any number
of years up to 26 and perhaps for a
still longer period. The borrower, how
ever, will be required to pay off from
two to three per cent Of the indebt-
edness each year in additi on to the
regular interest payments. For exam
pie, on loan of $4,000 the borrower
would pay seven per cent year or
$500 and at the end Of 26 years the
entire loan would be liquidated.
1t is estimated that as an average
for the entire country farmers are
now paying 8.5 per cent interest with
out reducing the principal one penny.
Compared with our present system,
therefore, the proposed plan appears
to offer wonderful improvement. The
loan association, as we understand it,
will derive it's income from the differ
ence in the interest rate paid by the
farmer and the rate that will have to
be paid on the debenture bonds of the
loan company, which it will issue
against the mortgages. Offices will
be maintained in the money centers of
various European countries for the
purpose of marketing the bonds.
If an association of this sort is prop
erly safe-guarded by state or federal
government supervision, it should
prove Of great economic value and
convenience to it's patrons.
