Tense Of the reyivalist and Sunday.
ISM, It is as follows:
IF the project Of having a Billy
Sunday revival in New York should
be carried outasats all, it would be
many months from now. The mere
suggestion, however, has moved the
newspapers of that, city to laboricas
mirth. It seems to them inexpress-
IDLY droll, this idea, that an ex-ball
player from the remote provinces be-
yond the North river should have the
audacity to imagine that he could
teach the systematically wise metro
polls anything worth while.
1t is characteristic of New York,
and particularly of New York news
papers, always to do the expected
thing.
"Their waggish humor leads them
to- discuss his proposed enterprise In
terms of the theater. He has, they
say "a new form OF entertainment
which draws packed houses but he
would have to face the competition Of
no end Of popular attractions They
concede that he has had considerable
success .on the road but count his
elevation from one-night stands to
the glory of a broadway appearance
a somewhat reckless speculation.
Dear old Philadelphia may yield to
his primitive appeal, but hardly cul.
tured, erudite, up.to.date New York.
Our advice to the papers over there
would be that they try to find out
what Billy Sunday is doing and to
welcome him as an Influence that will,
help the people and uplift the citizen
ship of any community. AT any rate
as. the New York World admits, mo-
body ever heard Of one Of Sundays
reviyals doing any harm" and the
most narr0W-minded#of Manhattenese
might concede that some of their
townsmen would be the better for q
religious "a awakening.
eli the contemptuous opponents of
Billy Sunday would acqnaint them
selves with the character of the
American people and the facts of civ
llization, they would lind that it is
such faith that puts the. foundations
of order and security beneath this ma
tion, and even beneath the system
which they think is the creation and.
glory of shell.ridden, New York"
Sunday is put in the capitalist class
By Fred g. Warren, editor of the APP
peal to Reason He recently said Of
Sunday:
2 IT pays to be good and serve the
capitalist class, as Billy Sunday isl
serving it today. Billy Sunday Isl
merely handing out the same kind oil
which the preachers are toll

the Working class. He is attached to
the capitalist class, because he preach
1es in season and out Of season for
capitalism"
Rev. James E. Walker, chairman
of the Chicago BILLY" Sunday cam
paign committee, defended the evan
gelist against his Chicago critics as
follows:
MI. Sunday does not abuse the
ministry. He denounces ministers
who sidestep the gospel and dilute
their message in a way contrary to
their ordination vows, but he con
stantly says that he owes everything
he has to q cody ministry and always
looks to ministers as his best
friends"
Lady Hope. of London, widow Of
Admiral Sir James Hope, who made
q trip from New York to Philadelphia
to hear the evangelist, thinks Of him
only in s%uperlatives. She ssid:
Hes a wonderful man, you know.
He has such extraordinary power. l

Minnesota on the open prairie a.
years ago. How the wind howled
about his homestead until he planted
trees and so protected his home. Mr.
Gregg is still living on the same
homestead and is enoyijng the pro
lection and beauty Of these trees
as we'll as the garden and orchard
that the trees. made possible. He
claimed that the secret of tree grow.
ing is to keep the -rees cultivated.
On the prairie the trees cannot COM
pete with grass and weeks and make
a good growth. He advised planting
n row of willows on the outside, then
another row two or three rows IN
side of this. The willows are fol-
the purpose of breaking the wind
and holding the snow. Inside of the
willows he would plant such trees
as the elm, ash, birch, blackberry and
eyergreens. He would have a good
sized space protected by a trees so
as TO make ample oom for the house,
barns, garden, orchard, and stock
yards. He urged the tree planting
on account of the protection they
afforded, on account of their beauty.
and on account of what they added
to the value of the farm.
>iMr. Gregg was also requested to
talk on the dairy COW. He related
come of his experiences in learning
the points that indicate good dairy
production. He said that there were
many points that were indications,
but that he would give the five that
he had found 10 be the most essen.
tial. First, a good big barrel or mid
die piece, this indicates a capacity
for taking in and digesting a large
amount Of food. The next pont is
that the crops be spare as that in.
dicates that the food eaten is not
converted into beef, but into milk.
The third point is the udder, this is
an Indication Of ahe milk making
machinery. The fourth point is the
milk wells. 1t is through these that
the blood from the udder is returned
to the. heart, when these are large
it indicates that a good deal of blood
is passed throughthe udder, which
in turn indicates that a good deal of
work is done in the udder. The
fifth point is the eye, when the eye
is large and clear it indicates that
the nervous system is well developed
and this is the driving force in milk
production.
MIR. George McKerrow gave sever
al interesting talks. In one he told
of the time when as a boy his father
let him buy an old eve. He cared
for this till it dropped him "a lamb,
and from this he developed quite
a flock which he kept on his fathers
farm on haives, later his flock be.
came too large to keep in this way
SO he let some of his sheep out to
%neighbors on shares. 1t was a bust.
ness proposition and vas handled in
a business way. The father gave
him the opportunity and the benefit
of his advice. Mr.. McKerrow has
today sonic Of the best sheep in the
state Of Wisconsin and has taken
more prizes at the state and inter-
national fairs than any other man in
the state. Give the boys an oppor-
tunity, and there is no place where
it can be zone so we'll as on the
farm.
In another of his talks Mr.. Mcker-
row emphasized the need Of commune
ity breeding. He related how a little
community sheep breeding at his
home made that section known .or

TIE new "0AKlAND'
Bismarck l Aan Takes Agency and
Is Enthusiastic Over the
Outlook.

MI. III. P. Goddard after his recent
attendance at the Minneapolis Auto.
mobile show today predicted a big year
for the automobile trade in this part
Of the state. He says that the interest
displayed by people from this section
IN the better grade of cars war phe-
nomenal.
While at the show and after spend
ing considerable time in looking over
the old established lines Of cars, as
we'll as the newer ones, Mr. Goddard
contracted for the Oakland line Of
Fours and Skies for the coming season.
His territory includes the western
part Of the state.
1T is doubtful" remarked iMr. God.
dard, IF the Oakland could have hit
upon a more beautiful and attractive
design for their bodies. These bodies
are the new boat style bodies appear.
ing in Europe for the first time last
year and which created So much favor-i
able comment. They are the true.
stream line body which offer 30 little

and making two stops for traffic.

drive today 10 the q OF light weight

ability, one that will do these things
economically, n that has been prop.
lerly designed and constructed with the
aim to produce a good automobile and.
not with the object in view to produce
a car that can be, sold cheap. |
Another fact that Mr.. Goddard says
every owner should know ia. Who is
back of the company, what are its re-
sources and is it going to stay in bust
ness? When asked about the Oakland
Mr.. Goddard said that a @65 100000 cor
'pOrati0n was back Of the Oakland and
that a purchaser of an Oakland car
today could buy parts for. that car ten
or. twenty years from now II he wanted
them.
Mr.. F. A. Copelin is associated with
Mr.. Goddard in tile automobile klsi.
ness and is Just as enthusiastic over
the Oakland line as is MI. Goddard, il
such a thing is possible.
Lucille Herrick Of Breckenridge,
Mimi, was arrested at Wahpston on
q charge of theft at the City hotel.
Charges were also preferred against
her on the Minnesota side and she
was adjudged incorrigible and sen.

then the pleasure of watching them

NEW ELECTION LAW
APPLIES TO VILLAGES
Two Members in Place of One
on Board of Trustees; Marshal
Elected For Two Years

The Logan county election board in
preparing ii issue their call for pri-
maries for the nomination of town
and village officers in the various
towns of the county today discovered
that the IHarris-Day code adopted by
the last legislature provides that in
corporated towns and villages not
cities of the first class shall elect one
member of the board of trustees from
each ward annually for a period OF
two years, making the board consist
of two members from each ward in
stead OF one as has been the practice
for sol,e years and also to elect
town marshal each year instead of
appointing him as has been the prac-
tice. This code was adopted two
years ago but no attention was paid
to these provisions last year, but ii
enforced now, will cause a reorgani-
zation of the boards in every town
and village in the state. The matter
was called to the attention of the
county attorney by the board and will
he taken up with the attorney general
at once.
