OF the threshing machine outfit,
which his manager. Mike Collins. in
stalled with him a few weeks ago.
After the disaster in the east his
manager decided that it would prob
ably be a good idea to take Frederick
into the farming country and give
him some good fresh air and plenty
Of exercise.
Accordingly when he secured the
threshing machine outfit he had

BAPT|STS WANT
TO WORK IN RUSSIA
DESPITE CHAOTIC CONDI-
TIONS, CHURCH SEES
GOOD FIELDS.

Hot Springs, Ark, May N.-Dis-
cuss;ons OF the work which has been
done within the last year by its for
eign rlissions board held the atten-
ton OF delegates to the SiXty-third
session OF the Southern Baptist con-
ven.ior today. Among the speakers
participating were missionaries from
several foreign lands. Virtually all
of icm had roSeate reports TO make
on extension of church work de-
spite war conditions.
The Russian situation, as IT at
fects church work, was one of the
principal points OF interest to the
delegates. and members of the CON
vent.on already have indicated their
ardent desire to re-entr tn church
field N Russia, Notwithstanding thu
chaotic political and military situa-
tion IN that country.
Germans Seize Church Property.
1t was told that Germans now are
in possession OF much church prop
erty. particularly in Russian and
Italy. though the actual loss to the
chul ches could not be estimated
either in terms OF dollars or prog
reSs.
The foreign missions board has re-
ported its most successful year in
finance, and the delegates have
evinced great desire to increase the
goal for the coming year. There
was some discussion, yet undecided,
as to whether the work among the
American soldiers on foreign soil
was 10 be under the supervision OF
the foreign missions board or the
home missions. but it was made
clear that, in either event. Southern
Bapiists were determined to push
that work to the utmost.
Foreign Missions Live Subject.
The work OF the Southern Bap-
tist Theological Seminary at Louis
Vile was reviewed in detail by the
delegates, and the growth OF the in
stitution, as reported to the conven-
tion. was the subject OF much favor
able comment.
Baptist leaders consider the sub
ject of foreign missions second only
TO that OF work among the soldiers,
and the entire afternoon session OF
the convention was devoted to dis
cus,ions OF ways and means to in
crease the scope OF the foreign mis-
sior, board.

GOVERNOR OPPOSES
ZONE POSTAL SYSTEM
MANY OF WAR ACTIVITIES
WOULD BE CRIPPLED,
HE BELIEVES.

Oklahoma City. May H.-Gover-
nor Robert l.. Williams has given
the International News Service<the
following interview in relation to
the zone postal system, a law which
would greatly cripple and handicap
the newspapers. which have been
the greatest influence in reaching
the people during the many recent
patriotic and bond campaigns:
Il have not had an opportunity To
study the operation of the new pos
tai zone law and do not know to
what extent it will affect the circu-
lation OF newspapers and periodicals.
1t has been said, however, that the
measure would result in increasing
the price Of newspapers and maga-
zines tc a point where they would
be out OF reach OF the poor man.
If this is true, believe the law
should be held in abeyance, at least
lsltil after the war.
THE newspapers and other peri
odicals of current comment are vital
war agencies in disseminating news
concerning the war, Liberty loans,
the Red Cross and other organiza-
tions, and much OF the credit for
the success OF the draft the three
Liberty loans, the two Red Cross
campaigns the Young Mems Chris
tiau Association campaign and the
Knights of Columbus drive is due
to J. favorable public sentiment
which these publications have had
no small part in forming.
