SCHOOL CONVENTION
Large Attendance from Northwestern
Part of State-Bertha Beeman
Concert a Feature

Beginning Monday evening the Four
County Convention of Sunday Schools
has attracted widespread interest. The
meetings were held at the Methodist
church and were well at
tended by local workers as well as by
the delegate body.
The Bertha Beeman Concert at the
opera house was the feature of the
opening evening and was marked by a
which compelled closest
attention and elected enthusiastic re-
Spouse. Seldom, if ever, has a more
exacting program been given here, and
in her repertoire Miss Beeman has no
single solo which does not reveal in its
treatment the touch of individuality
which sets it apart, and in technique
it is the last word. A personality Of
particular charm made possible an
evening of unalloyed enjoyment. Es-
pecially gratifying was the spirit and
of the patriotic songs,
and no diva could throw into them a
higher devotion and loyalty than did
Miss Beeman.
Tuesday
Tuesday morning was devoted to
matters Of routine and the remaining
sessions carried out the plan of the con-
vention.
Afternoon
The address of welcome by the pres
ident of the association, Attorney Dorr
II. Carroll, was mastery exposition
of the times. He said:
"In these days Of international cal
amity, when nation rises against ma
ton and people make war upon people
who but weeks ago were their friends,
when famine threatens the people of
the earth and the shadow Of death how
ers over every community, the soul of
man hungers for a message of peace,
for some light in the dark, cloudy days
of terror and destruction. There are
great organizations Of battle now on
earth. There are great numbers of
men under orders which mean the life

Peck Has Plans Drawn for Cheap
Binder Attachment.

w. A. Peck, Ward County's Better
Farming Agent, has had plans prepar-
ed for an extension to be placed on a
binder which will enable a farmer to
cut his grain, be it ever so short, and
elevate it into a wagon which runs
along beside his binder, without loss.
He will probably have an attachment
made so that the farmers who are IN
terested may come to Minot and see 1t.
The extension is simple and consists
Of piece of canvas, one roller, a frame
of two by tours and some strap iron
braces. The canvas costs $500 and the
entire attachment can be made in a
day for about SIS, Mr.: Peck estimates.
The binder head is taken off the bind
er. 1t is we'll to double the reels on the
binder, the extra parts being easily Sc
cured.
Fritz ONell, a farmer west of Ber-
thold, is using an attachment OF this
nature and it is doing fine work.

Emil, the 1O-year-old son of George
Bedner of Anamoose, was brought to

three inches in length in his windpipe,
just below the vocal cords, which had
gotten in the Tuesday before. A local

obstruction. The lad had lost his

property good many years ago, in
tending to open 1t up some day and
run it in connection with the Wallace
mine at Burlington. He was one Of
the pioneers in the coal mining indus
try of Ward county and knew a good
coal property when he saw it. The
Wallace Brothers were connected with
heir father in the coal mining business
for eighteen years and could not have
had better training. They are plan
ming on working from 20 to Is men a
day and on turning out from Is to 100
tens daily. Their product will find a
