mer president of the convention and
member of the executive committee.
rwoHA G W osks aaaeaga 1t heiIa rhstfs baaa@hes
of the state was given in detail. In
some cases permanent pastors have
been placed, others are being sup
piled temporarily, some have federated
with other churches and such action
is recommended in other cases. One
pastor has resigned to enter the United
States navy. During the year 6G
churches have been aided directly.
The secretary has delivered 1S3
sermons, held 2S3 conferences, travelled
by team or automobile 6,536 miles and
by train 900 miles. A decided in
crease to the permanent and trust
fund was reported The total received
during the year was $l9,722.46.
There have been GIG additions to the
churches by baptism, the largest mum
Der since 1876, and the total church
membership is 1914, the largest since
1914. DR.. Dawson recommended the
VI nDtCldl WOIhci
for Sunday schools and young people s
societies. He also recommended that
the convention cooperate with the
churches in increasing salaries on the
basis of dollar for dollar so that the
minimum salary of any pastor in the
the state should be 500 and house and
that with this object in view the
churches be asked to contribute 81 pen
resident member for convention work
during the year.
At the meeting in the afternoon the

LOCAL SEED SUPPLY.
County Agent Will Try to Get Line on
Available Seed.

Last spring there was a shortage in
many kinds of seed needed for plant
ing the staple crops. This may happen
again in 1918 unless every effort is
made to utilize local grown seed where
good seed may be secured at reasonable
prices. 1t is good business for most
farmers to buy local grown seed every
year because varieties which have been
tried and have done well are much more
dependable than new varieties from 9th
er parts of the country.
For the next few weeks County Agent
"A. w. Swecton will try to get line
on as many of the best crops of wheat,
rye, oats, bucllwheat, beans, potatoes,
etc, as possible, make out list of pro-
ducers of such crops who may have seed
for sale, and during the early winter
will publish this for the convenience of
the farmers in the country who will
have to buy seed for the 1918 crops
If any have very good crop of any of
the above products and wish to sell some
seed, they should report it to the Farm
bureau as soon as possible. If any have
to buy seed it would be well for them to
watch for the list.

TRAIN STRUCK OIL TRUCK.
Two Men Injured and Much Gasoline
Lost Near Station

A serious accident took place at North
field station Tuesday afternoon. The
Standard Oil company has a large oil
tank just across the tracks on the west
side. An auto truck from Greenfield
had just drawn 500 gallons of oil and
started to cross the tracks, when a
freight train struck it, tipping it over
and throwing the two men in charge.
The driver, Mr.. Miner of Greenfield,
was slightly injured but L. Il. Donaldson
of East Main street, Greenfield, was un-
conscious for some time and had severe
cuts about his head. He was attended
by DR.. r. II. Philbrick and is not con
sidered seriously hurt. A hole was
smashed in the oil tank and the 500
gallons slowly poured out. Several autos
filled their tanks and pals, and cans
were used to save some of the gasoline
but most of it poured on the ground.
1t is claimed that the engine did not
whistle at the crossing. A Waterman
is at the place of the accident to guard
against fire and to see that nothing is
disturbed until officials have investigat.
ed the conditions.

Maj Rudy d. Garrett said, speaking
last night at the opening of the Red
Cross 100-million-dollar campaign

American War.
"Ask any man who was striker with
fever in the Spanish-American War,
who was comforted through the little
thoughtful features-a fan, a mos
quito net-who was lifted from a pal
let of straw and placed on a clean
couch-ask them. Then you will know
something of the splendid work of
the Red Cross.
"Then in the later affair, when we
left Nevada expecting to clean up
Mexico, we didn't expect to find the
Red Cross posted on our path, wait
ing with comforts. We were hot tired
and thirsty when we reached Enid,
Okla, and there we met the first ex-
perience of Red Cross thoughfulness.
What one of us will never forget
those women who came to our train
and told US to come out that there was
food and coffee and ice cream wait
ing for US? Then we knew something
of the efficiency of the Red Cross.
"Then there was Iaredo-the driest
hottest place God Almighty ever turn

I'VE found two hundred pounds of
ice allotted to one hundred men. By
the time the dirt was washed off, it
had shrunk to one hundred pounds and
our improvised refrigerators-a bar

did we hear from the Red Cross 1t
was telegram from old Dell Dutton
and in it said:
BUY ice. Buy all the ice the men
need and send the bill to me-

FOR MISS HATTIE BOUCHER

The home of Mrs. E. E. Beougher
was the scene of a very pleasant
social event on Wednesday afternoon
June thirteenth.
A miscellaneous shower was given
to Miss Beougher who is soon to be
a bride.
The parlor was tastefully decorat-
ed in delicate tints and flowers. The
doors were then closed until after the
guests had arrived, the shower being
in the nature of surprise to the
guest of honor. Ribbons were at
tached to light fixture in the center
of the room, the ends leading to the
corners of the room where the pres
ents were attached and were on dis
play.
The afternoon passed very pleas
-antly in social way. Ice cream and

purpose of letting contracts for the
drilling of oil and gas wells in south

war to a close? Millions of dollars are
invested in their sea fighting mach

one little encounter has occurred and
that was when Cecil Rhoades lost his

A banker who is accustomed to
dealing in large sums of money was
asked by a layman if he would ex-
plain in a way to be understood how
much is seven billion dollars and the
banker said he would try.
In the beginning it is well enough
to understand that seven billion is a
great dealt is very much. There
have not been seven billion seconds
of time since the Declaration of In
dependence was signed. If you should
spend dollar every minute it would
take 1898 years to spend seven bill
lion dollars. If you banked it and
drew a million dollars check every
day for twenty-five years you would
still have twenty-six million dollars
in the bank. IF your seven billion
was drawing six per cent interest and
spent million every day, at the end
of seventy years you would have four
teen billion dollars-twice the amount
you had at the start. If at the birth
of Christ you had seven billion dollars
invested in farms of quarter section
each, paying ten thousand dollars g
quarter, and Immediately started OF
tour of inspection visiting one farm
each week day from the time of Chris,
till now, you would still have 35s
