SWEDISH LUTHERANS
HOLD CONVENTION

The Red River District of the
Lutheran Augustana Synod held it's
annual convention in Thief River
Falls on Jan. % and "a. The Swed-
lsh Lutheran church entertained the
delegates who numbered between
35 and 40, and represented IS con-
gregations of this section of the
state. The convention opened on
Tuesday night when Revs. Nelson of
st. Hilairs, Moody of Roseau, and
Hoorn of Warroad delivered we'll pre-
pared sermons, the first two men
toned in the Swedish, the last in
the English language. On Wednes-
day morning at 9 o'clock began the
business session of the convention
and continued all day, with only a
short recess at noon, when dinner
was served in the basement of the
church by the ladies of the congre-
cation. The officers for the wear
were elected as follows:
President-Rev. J. M. Persenius of
Grand Forks, N. D., reelected.
Vice President-James Moodv. Ro-
seau.
Secretary-Rev. P. G.. Carlstedt,
Kennedy.
Treasures NJ IIss.ariick-
son, Lancaster, reelected.
Statistician-Rev. A. A. Larson,
Thief River Falls.
The presidents report was very
encouraging in many respects, tho
improvement along lines of organi-
zation, spiritual awakening and ma.
terial stability Of the older congre-
cations serve to show only the more
clearly the great responsibility we
have toward those who have as We,
no organized church work among
themselves, who have few opportuni
ties of hearing the gospel preached
and who have often great difficulties
in procuring necessary shelter anc
clothing for one day at time. The
reports given by Rev. Hoorn, Rev
Larson, and Mr.. Westlund, concern
ing conditions on the scattered home
steads up in the swamps of Bel
traml and Roseau counties illustrated
this point very graphically.
Among many important decisions
reached during the day was one t,
gather funds within the district dur
ing the year, in addition to that O
previous years to enable the disric
to send still one more laborer a
least up into those swamps. A de
cision was also made to organic
a "Jubilee Chorus" within the dis
trict, with the fact in view, espe
cially, that this year is the grea
year of the 400th anniversary Of tn
Reformation. The object is to hav
all the local church choirs practic
the same music, under the super
vision of central committee, an
to arrange for joint concerts a. dit
ferent places within the district ]
is thought that the Luther Leagu
convention which will be held in Re-
seau next summer will be the cl
max Of these song festivals. Th
proceeds will go to the home-mis
sion fund Of the district. The CON
mittee who has this in hand consist
of Nels Bystrom of Warren, directc
in chief; Revs. Larson of Thief Rive
Falls and Carlstedt of Kennedy, o:
ganizers.
The convention, which closed in tt
evening with inspirational and il
structive sermons by Revs. L.
Lundgren Of Alvarado and P.
Carlstedt of Kennedy, and by sho
talks by several others.

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT,

THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT.
The Sheaf publishes this week the
Financial Statement of Marshall
County prepared by A. G. Lund-
gren, County Auditor. It is COM
plete report Of the financial trans
actions of the county during the
past year. It behooves every tax
paper to study the statement and as
, certain for himself how the money
is spent. Marshall county is a big
business institution as one can read
lily see by glancing over the state
ment and every year the business
is growing. The ditch and road
laws passed in recent years have
thrown a great deal Of additional
work on the county auditor, who is
the bookkeeper of the county. Mr.
Lundgren, however, is an expert in
that line Of work, and his books are
models of accuracy and neatness
Every account has to balance to the
| cent. Again we urge every tax
! payer to study the statement and
learn something about the business
Of the county.

severe setbacks the stock market has
had in several months occurred today
when prices broke 5 to 10 points un-
der feverish liquidation. the market
being all but demoralized during the
last hour.
Persistent rumors were in circula-
tion of government action looking to
the taking over of railroads, of closing
the stock exchange and others equally
alarming to stock market traders. and
these were the only reasons which OBJ
servers could find to explain the SELL

High grade railroad stocks fell to

New Haven and ST Paul established
new low records. u. S. Steel was
hammered down from 1115s to below

SUFFRAGETTEs ARRESTED
NEAR THE WHITE HOUSE

Washington, Sept. 4.-Militants of
the National Woman's party made to-
Gays procession in honor of men
drafted for the national army the oc-
casion for more picketing of the white
house. Pickets began appearing at
the white house gates in pairs and as
the police arrested them others took
their places. The women announced
they would keep up the battle as long
as the supply of pickets held ont
The supply of pickets kept steadily
coming to the white house gates as
fast as the police made the arrests
and an hour before the procession
started, 10 had been taken in. The
Women's managers said they had
enough pickets on hand to last an
afternoon.
Despite the announcement that tbere
was an afternoons supply of pickets
on hand, the continued arrests SEEM
ingly dampened the ardor of the volun-
teers and after ten had been taken i'm
the picketing stopped. All those ar
rested were bailed out for trial later.

BUT sINGLE BUYER OF.
WHEAT IN THE MARKET
AND HE IS UNCLE SAM
No Bidding, No Discussion.
Everybody Gets Check
at Fixed Price.

Chicago, Sept. 4.-There was
just one buyer in the Chicago
wheat market today and he
didn't even visit the board of
trade. He was Uncle Sam and
he had an office in the Otis
building, two blocks from the
board. There was one basis
price, S2.2O, fixed by President
Wilson. The methods pursued
were very simple. The man who
received the wheat had it placed
in an elevator, obtained a re.
ceipt from the elevator, took his
receipt to the Otis building and
got his check. Through a mis-
understanding little spot
wheat sold at slightly above the
government basis, but the local
representative of the food ad-
ministratOr issued a warning
that there must be no repetition
of the Offense.

MATERIAL DAMAGE WAS
SMALL, ADMIRALTY SAYS
Machines Came in the Night
and Escaped Without
Losses.

London, Sept. Ain last nights air
raid 1o7 persons were killed and sc
wounded at Chatham, it is announced
officially. The victims were naval
ratings. Six airplanes took part in
the raid.
Early reports on the air raids over
the southeast coast on Sunday and
Monday nights said they seemed to
be more for the purpose of testing the
possibility of attack by moonlight than
the hope of doing any considerable
damage.
Like the single aviator who dropped
bombs on Dover Sunday night, those
who came last night kept at a very
high altitude. and while their ma
chimes could be heard. they could not
be seen. Nevertheless, British air.
planes went up in pursuit.
After dropping bombs over wide
area, many falling into fields or the
sea, the raiders departed as quickly
as they came.
