PRELIMINARY WORK SOUTHERN BAPTIST MEETING DELAYED Many Delegates Are Not on Scene Due to Floods
 Along Mississippi
 River

Hot Springs, Ark, May 14-Beiated ar rival of delegates to the sixty-third ses- sion of the Southern Baptist convention. due to flood conditions along the Mis- sissippi river, has delayed considerably the organization of committees that are to guide the sessions which begin to- morrow. continuing until May 22- De- spite the transportation difficulties hun dreds of delegates from all parts of the south have arrived, and though little has been accomplished in the way of prelimi- nary coordination of committees.
 WOMEN TO FIGHT
 Chief among the propositions discussed has been that which the delegates term suffrage for women in the church or ganizations." Most of those who advo- cate the right of women to participate in the councils and deliberations of the con ventions are delegates from the western section of the south.
 Another of the propositions which, in preliminary discussion loomed rather large, but subsequently, seemed to have been dismissed, was the question of uni flea ton or coordination of the three major boards of the church. the home and foreign mission and the Sunday school boards.
 Passage of such resolution would eliminate many of the salaried employees of the three boards.
 WANT TO DO WAR WORK
 According to o. L. Hailey of Texas chairman of the committee on order of business, it is extremely likely that the convention will adopt resolutions deal ing with the status of the Baptist church iE army cantonments and army welfare work. Resolutions which will be intro- duced probably tomorrow will declare in substance that the Baptist church be- lieves it should be permitted to carry on renominational work in cantonments, along such lines as that now being done by the Y. M. c. A. and Knights of Colum- bus
 FIRST BUSINESS
 The first business session of the con- vention will be at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, when organization will be com pleted. Dr. J. B. Gambrell, Dallas, pres ident of the convention, will open the ses- sion with his annual address. The mat ter of amendments to the constitution work, overshadowing that of the report of the afternoon.

OWns s0 NUAAAksdAAy Made No Profit The consumer would pay only IA cent a pound less for his dressed beef.
 If Swift & Company waived all profit on cattle, and gave 1t to consumers in the form of lower beef prices, this would reduce the cost to the average consumer less than25 cents per year for all the beef he eats. In fact, the packers pro- fit is so insignificant that if surrendered to the con- sumner the effect upon retail meat prices would be practically nothing. It is because of the volume of meat hand led that the investor in Swift & Company's business receives a satis- factory return upon his money.
 These figures for 1917
 are convincing: } The profit of $1.2o
 per head averages : IA cent per pound
 on dressed beef- Average Receipts:
 Per animal for beef $68.o7 Per animal for by-products 24.oo

To My Fellow Citizens Of This Congressional District Announcing My Candidacy
 For Congress

For 37 years I have lived in your midst, having moved from Dal- las county, in this state, in May, 1881. The developments of our rich min- eral resources were just beginning. have watched the growth of all we see here with pride and admiration.
 For more than 25 years it was my privilege to be associated with the development of the coal and iron in- dustries, and now l am actively en- gagged in manufacturing and the management of some of our most use- full financial institutions.
 In all questions pertaining to the political and moral Well-being of our people it has been my pleasing duty to participate to the full extent of my ability. In taking positive positions on all questions of public interest have, to some extent alienated a few who might otherwise be my friends. My activities in public affairs and my business connections have placed me in position to know great many people and to attain good knowledge of the districts growth and needs in all lines, and l believe I am in sympathy with the ideals and best interests of our citizens.
 There is nowhere to be found community that as whole stands so solidly together in all matters look ing to the well-being of society, the stability of our government and the enforcement of laws Especially is this true in the present great crisis of our nation. Permanent, patriotic fi- delity to our government is we'll nigh unanimous; the pity is that there should be any to strike a discordant note. Whole-hearted and unquali- fled support in every way, as never

Our Local Poet Busts Forth.

1t was on certain Sunday night,
If rightly remember;
And If my memory serves me right,
About the first day of December
When at my door there came rap
1t seemed a very familiar tap
And with 1t came these words most
clear,
Lets take little hike, my dear"
She left the room in modest haste,
He cast his arm about her waist,
And as they onward wend their way
They make date for another day
Now when they did return
The lamp had long since ceased to
burn, =.
And at the gate they babe goodbye
And homeward hiked that lonely
guy.
She to her couch did tumble in
To dream of the past and dream OF
him,
And when she tried TO go to sleep
Her thoughts caused her to lie and
weep.
And in the morn whec 3he awoke
She felt just like her heart was broke;
Then when she tried to eat bite
She found she had no appetite.
She says to love tits very hard
And not to love is higher card,
But oh! it gives much greater pain
To love and not be loved again.
Old Fogy.
Optimistic Thought.
Bravery to contend for good cause
Is noble; to suffer for it, heroic.

Saturday night between $3.50 and 10
o'clock Mr.. Stockdale heard car max

the noise died away and he thinking
they had gone on never gave it anoth-
er thought until Sunday morning he
saw big Buick car setting in the mid.
die of the stream. Upon investigating
it was found to be left entirely alore.
Papers and bills in the car gave evil
dence it had been in Carthage. Mr..
Stockdale thinking it might be q
stolen car Immediately notified the
chief of police OF Carthage and it was
found to have been stolen from the
west side of the square in Carthage late
Saturday evening and belongs to Ed
Irwin of that place. No clew to the
robber or robbers had been obtained
except tnat they had started south
from the creek, their tracks being very
plain for some distance in the mud.
Seems it would take about as much
nerve to climb out in the middle OF q
stream on cold night as it did to run
away with the car.

of efficiency" This man was An
drew Bakken, who resides on Sec. TO-
1851. BE bought school land a year
or so ago. asst year he broke land
and seeded to fax. He got no crop.
He applied for seed grain. He want.
ed to buy his grain cheap from a
nelghhcr. Efficiency Jim" said no.
His neighbors signed with him; still
more delay. Time was passing. Fin
ally he gave up getting his seed from
the county, and his neighbors made
pool and furnished him his seed
money. He got his grain for $21O
and $500. After he was through
seeding his seed grain order came.
He did not use it and sent it back. A
few days ago Efficiency Jim" sent
him notice to come in and pay for
seed that he did not get. That is an
other sample of Efficiency"
In the circular letters that the
county auditor sent around last
spring was this beautiful and patr1-
otto quotation:
"Our nation is now engaged in a
critical war, upon the favorable out
come of which rests the life, liberty
and happiness of every resident and
citizen of Sheridan county, and the
perpetuation of the great principles
of democratic government. Our Ma
tiOnal Government has frequently
emphasized the necessity of the pro-
duction of every possible bushel of
grain, and has many times stated that
the success of this nation in the war
in which we are now involved turns
upon the cultivation of every tillabIe
acre of ground"
Every word of the above the patri-
otto farmers applauded. But how did
Sunny" Jim and the Three Blind
Men of Bombay help the farmers to
respond to the call of the Nation and
Of World Democracy. They turned
down good seed grain offered at
S2.10 per bushel and gave the con-
tract to the Montana & Dakota Ele-
vator Company at $3.50 per bushel
and WHY?
The Auditor tried to charge John
Smithmeyer 1924 per bushel for his
seed wheat.
That is Efficiency Jim's" way Of
helping get the food for our boys
over there, and he is the High Priest
of the sheridan County Loyalty
League"
