CHAPMAN AROUSES INTEREST.
Evangelist Attracting Large Audi
ences to Baptist Church Meetings.

Speaking clearly regarding errors
OF which many churches and, church
members are guilty, X. Chapman, the
evangelist, who is conducting a three
weeks campaign at the Baptist
church, last night gave as the only
remedy a thoroughly consecrated
life. He said: There are always
kickers' and Knockers in every
church community who are always
ready to find fault with Christian
workers and with the preacher, no
matter how hard he tries to work
for the salvation of the soul of man
Don't be kicker or a knocker; be a
booster. There too, is a vast differ
ence between the professor of Chris
tianity who does not possess Christi
anity and the real professor of Chris
anity. No matter what: the profession
may be, the fruits of their profess
sion will count for naught without
they possess the true spirit of Christ. "
Tonight Mr.. Chapman will speak on
the subject, ''The Doubling Thomas ~
Everyone is cordially invited to at
tend the services. The evening SER
vice commences at 8 O'Clock. Mr..
Chapman will conduct bible study at
the church, 3 o'clock each afternoon
this week except Saturday. 80. -.

SAYS WHEAT WILL DROP
TO so CENTS A BUSHEL

Wichita Falls, Texas, Mar. IL
Frank Kell one of the largest grain
dealers in Texas, made the interest
ing statement that he would not be
surprised to see wheat selling for as
low as fifty cents per bushel by this
time next year.
THE price of wheat will depend
altogether on the progress of the
war; he said, 1.-The key to the sit
uatiOn is the Dardenelles If the
waterway outlet is opened up it will
enable Russia to flood the markets
of the world with a surplus of 3OO,-
100000 bushels of wheat that are
now bottled up in that country. The
wheat acreage in. Russia this season
is only about two million acres be:
low what it was last year. The de-
crease of acreage in France and Ger
many is not as great as one might
naturally expect. With another big
crop OF the grain in Russia and fail
yield in France and Germany, to-
gether with a big crop in the United
States, the price will fall tremendous

next crop is harvested. The wheat
acreage in Texas at. this time is
about 100000 more. than last year

TO ENFORCE AUTO LAWS
Chief of Police Lane Announces That
Machine Drivers Must Abide by
Rules Effective Last Year.
SPEED LIMIT ON NYMORE ROAD

Mild weather Of the last few days
has caused many Bemidji auto own
ers to take their machines from stor-
ages and place them in service and
as consequence George Lane, chief
of police, has found it necessary to
announce that the same drivers rules
effective in 1914 will be enforced this
year.
There are a large number of au-
tomobiles on the business district
streets each day." said the chief, land
! think we had better announce right
from the start that the law will be
enforced the same as last year and
that violators will be dealt with in
the same way.
DRIVERS should remember that
they will be expected to keep to the
right side of the road at all times, to
turn square corners and to shut of
their engines when the car is left
without attention. Another matter
which will be more rigidly enforced
than last year will be the lights. Ev-
cry car must have front and rear
lights after dark and the patrolmen
have been instructed to arrest every
car owner who neglects to have
them.''
Chief Lane said that the Nymore
automobiles must not exceed speed
limit of IS miles when travelling it.
I'VE have had but few automobile
accidents and all drivers should aim
to assist in preventing INJURIES" said
the chief.
From now on the auto laws will
be enforced

(Un1tod 1ross)

Washington, March 11.-President
Wilson, with Secretary of State
Bryan cooperating, this morning
ordered that complete and search
ling investigation OF all the facts con-
corning the sinking of the American
ship, William Frye by the German
tcruiser, Prinz Eitel Frederick, which
is now locked at Newport News, be
made.
! 1t is believed that the intern OF
the cruiser was forced because OF
its weakened condition. Three Brit
ish battleships are known to be in
waiting outside the harbor for the
| Frederick when she leaves. The
, cruiser will be allowed to remain in
dock until repairs are made which
will make the ship seaworthy and
then she must either leave or intern,
say United States officials.
Destroyers to New York.
Secretary Daniels this afternoon
ordered destroyers McDougal and
Dayton from Guantanamo to New
York to aid authorities in maintain
ing neutrality. The vessels are un-
der the command of Admiral Ushers.
The president this afternoon can
celed all engagements for the next
three weeks and will assume person
al charge of the international situa-
ton. No callers will be received I'M
less directly in connection with the
United States neutrality, this being
due because of the sinking of the
Frye. A demand will be made up-
on Germany to disavow act of the
Frederick captain and it is believed
that Germany will assume financial
responsibility for loss Of the ship.
Although the sinking of boat flying
the United States flag created q situa-
ton unprecedented, it is not feared
that war will be caused. t{ss
