FIRE PREVENTION DAY

Fighting Minnesota's fire tool with
prevention, the year around, the
state fire marshals department is
making special efforts that all pro-
gressive towns in the state will OBJ
serve the fifth annual "Fire Proven
ton Day" on Monday, October 9, as
fixed by proclamation of Governor
J. A. A. Burnquist.
Toward further reducing the an
nual fire loss Of life and property
and aiding ii the N1iinneso ta-state-
made-freproof movement, State Fire
Marshall Robert w. Hargadine sug-
gests that in live communities
Mayors will issue like proclama-
tions urging local celebrations of the
day -freless celebrations;
Civic and commercial organiza-
tions will arrange meetings to plan
to make the home town fireproof.
Schools will have appropriate ex-
ercises--talks on the danger of the
small boy and match, and like COM
blnatlOnS; 49, --.--. p
Men and women will look about
their homes and clear away attic
basement, back year or other accu-
mutations that make for fire danger
IF Minnesota people will only
stop to think that the nations fire
toll is 5000 lives a year and $500
loss a. minute; although two-thirds
Of the fires are preventable, fire pre-
vention day this year will be big
success in every town. said Fire
Marshal Hargadine. every per.
son in the state will join in the
movement because sickness and fire
are nearest to then-liable to strike
home any day."
Records in the fire marshal's office
show gradual reduction in the fir@
losses in Minnesota, and part of the
credit for the showing is given tx
the general observance of fire pre-
vention day each year in all cities.

brick and tile walls for the three
stories above ground are up and
workmen are now busy putting on

LEY DEVELOPMENT
ASSOCIATION. WILL
MEET INCROOKSTON

President Welter, of the Minneso-
ia Red River Valley Development
Association, has issued a call for a
meeting Monday, October 9Th, at
the Northwest School of Agriculture,
Crookston, in the interests of the
moment to secure early action upon
the prevention and control of flood
waters resulting from the develop
ment of the many new drainage pro-
jects in Minnesota and the Dakotas.
Drainage engineers and Legislators
from both the Minnesota and the
Dakota sides of the Red River have
responded to the invitation to meet
with representatives from the Val
ley counties. The Roads and Drain
age committee of the Development
association is actively interested in
the movement and composed as it is
of men throughout the several coun-
ties we'll informed upon the subject,
the meeting should result in ma
terially strengthening the presenta-
tion of the proposition to the State
and Federal governments.
There will also be taken up the
matter of more effective control and
eradication of noxious weeds. Agita-
tion in this direction is extremely
timely in view of the noticeable
spread of Canadian SOW thistle. The
past season has been one peculiarly
favorable to weed growth, and tue
experience of the farmers Of the
Canadian northwest with this prolific
and hardy pest should be ample
warning to the farming interests of
this section to take vigorous
measures before the weed is allowed
to make disastrous inroads. It is
expected that the meeting will ac-
complish the initiation of a move
ment designed to secure the passage
Of laws more possible of enforce
ment than the present weed laws.

Mr.. and Mrs. August Tomlonas,
from east Of Argyle, are visitors in
the city to-day. Mr.. Tomlonas is
one Of the fortunate farmers Of the
county, as he had about 700 bushels
Of wheat left over from last year
and that will help out greatly thru
the lean year until another crop can
be raised If every subscriber to the
locals papers were as honest as Mr..
and Mrs. Tomlonas are, then the
publishers would lose very few ac-
counts due them for, subscriptions.

CAUSE OF MISSIONS |. IS TIE SUBJECT OF STIRRING ADDRESS Cumberland Presbyterian Assembly Held Busy Ses-
 sions Yesterday
CHINAMAN SPEAKS
 BEFORE THE BODY
Interesting Programme Is Outlined for Today-Visiting Clergymen to Fill Pulpits of Local
 Churches

The Rev. Tom Jung, a missionary in his native China, was the principal
 speaker at the longest session of the
 Presbyterian church, held last night at
 the Birmingham Cumberland church in
 Norwood. The Rev. Jung in his talk
 stressed the importance of missions, and
 he told the assembly of conditions as
 they are in China from the missionary viewpoint. He urged that more mission
 aries be sent to China and said that the
 importance of the work could not be
 overestimated and would have to be seen
 to be properly appreciated
 The Rev. J.. w. Duvau of Missouri,
 president of the board of missions, made
 a stirring address in which he urged
 the synods and presbyteries to get down
 into their pockets and dig deep for the
 cause of missions, domestic and foreign.
 He said that it was work that must
 go forward as rapidly as possible; that
 the number of missionaries now in the field was sadly below the number re- quired, and that it was clearly the duty
 of the Christian people of America to secure the money with which to send
 the light to the orient as we'll as spread ing it in the dark corners of our own land. Following his address a collection
 was taken for a mission in California
 and sum in the neighborhood of $10O
 was secured within 10 minutes.
 The feature of yesterday was the ad .
 dress at 3 o'clock in the afternoon by
 the Rev. J. D. Lewis of Florida, who spoke on "The Presence, Power and Per sonality of the Holy Spirit and Its Agency in Revival Work"

PROPOSAL VOTED DOWN

Before the balloting was postponed, Chancellor James R. Ray of Syracuse university led contest to substitute a bishop with full powers for the proposed missionary bishop for Malaysia, with an Episcopal residence at Singapore. The conference eventually voted down the pro- posal. but not until there had been a warm debate during which Dr. Day de- clared he desired the change in order that William F. Oldham, elected to the Episcopacy yesterday, might be assigned to Singapore.
 Rev. Edgar Blake, member of the New Hampshire conference, stationed at Chicago as secretary of the Sunday school board said during the debate that he understood there was some discussion about substituting Singapore for At lanta, Ga.
 '.Is not a black man in America worth as much as a brown man in Asia! he asked and the conference applauded loudly

SPIRITED DEBATE ON
 SUNDAY ADJUSTMENTS
Layman Pleads for Re- taxation of Present Laws of Church
 Prohibiting Playing of Games

Atlantic City, N. J., May 2o.-A spirited discussion over the question of Sunday amusements enlivened today's session of the general assembly of the Presbyterian church in the United States of America. It came when the recommendations of the Sabbath observance committee were be- ing considered, motion having been made for their adoption. James Dewitt Andrews of the New York presbytery said:
 These resolutions condemn without e1- ception all forms of sports on the Sab bath We must determine what sports we mean to exclude. A hundred yeaps ago men would have disapproved of Sum day trains Today they are considered a necessity. Does the general assembly of 1916 want to stand on record as dis approving all sorts of Sunday games? In the old 'Scotch-Trish church golf playing was forbidden during the hours of church service on the Sabbath, but they played golf later in the day.
 Today there are many young men who have no opportunity to recuperate their health except on the Sabbath" MT. An- drews continued and ordinary rest is not enough. I know you are against it, but the prohibition of all games or sports is not a thing to advocate at this time"
 The report of 5the committee was adopted.
 Members of the committee on bills and overtures spent busy afternoon on the overtures relating to the New York pres bytery and Union Theological seminary, and held another session tonight The meetings were executive and while the committeeman admit both gatherings were featured with some warm debate, no member would make any statement as to what recommendations would be na ade by the convention.

OF EUROPE MAKE NO PROGRESS --- SAYS PRESIDENT IN
 CHARLOTTE SPEECH
lCentinued from Page one,

the European war is competition of national standards, of national traditions, and of national policies.
 Charlotte was ablaze with American flags and packed with people for the first occasion on which democratic President has spoken here. Military bands were scattered through the town and played martial music constantly, the people cheering from every housetop and window along the route taken by him in his rides about the city. He was introduced at the open air meeting by Governor Craig of North Carolina.
 At Davidson college the President went to the room occupied by him when he was student and to the debating hail where he spoke years ago. Students draped the room with flags in honor of Mr Wilson. Students gathered and cheered the President again and again, and made efforts to get him to speak. He said he had not been able to make speeches when in college, and would not try now at such a place. In company with members of the faculty the Pres ident and Mrs. Wilson walked over tsa college campus. They then returned to the special car for the trip to Washing ton.
