belief concerning Baptist doctrine
found that they got some sure enough
Bible quoted concerning what he and
all Baptists believe. HE that is
ashamed of Me and My word, him
will l be ashamed of before My
Father in Heaven" SO this council
ordained Bro Royse, not feeling
ashamed of his confession and be-
lieving that he is called of God to do
the work He would have him do. We
as Baptists feel proud to think we can
ordain such boy with such remark

fend it's doctrine and principles for
he shows to the world that he studys
to show himself approved of God, a
workman that needeth not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word
of truth.
Bro. T. P. Crawford, who for the
past few years has been living in
Liberty, Mo, was present to assist

glad to meet again this, OUR friend and

BATES COUNTY THREsHENs
MEET
discuss Prices and How Best to Con-
serve bates County's Wheat
Crop. Ask for Higher
= Prices.

In response to a call issuer last
week by Food Administrator Owen
and committee ofthreshing machine
owners, large number OF the ma
chine men of Bates county met with
the Food administrator at the court
house Saturday afternoon to discuss
how best to handle the coming har-
vest and threshing season.
The question of prices for threshing
the 1913 crop was brought up and dis
cussed. The machine owners thought
that in view of the greatly increased
cost of the machines and repairs, to-
gether with increased cost and scare
ity OF labor, they should have an in
crease over that received in former
years. The prices in this part of the
country in past years, when the far
mer was getting in the neighborhood
of 65 per bushel for his wheat, has
been from I-2 cents per bushel for
oats to E cents for wheat, and the
threshermen thought that the farmer
would not OBJECT to paying a small in
crease for his threshing when he is
getting about three times the old
prices for their grain. after the mat
ter had been thoroughly discussed
ballots were passed out and each one
was asked to write on his ballot what
he thought would be fair price. The
majority of the ballots showed that 3
1--s cents for oats and 7 cents for
wheat was thought to be about fair
price for threshing and these figures
were finally adopted as the scale.
During the meeting the following
resolutions were passed:
Therefore we, the threshermen of
Bates county, in cooperation with the
county Threshing Committee and the
State and Federal Food Administra-
ton, do pledge ourselves collectively
and individually to assist as far as it
is possible in conserving the wheat
supply of our country by
(a) Having our engines and separ-
ltors complete repair and adjust
ment before the threshing season be-
gins.
lb) Having on hand supply of
such repair parts as frequently break
md become useless during the sea-
son.
.(c) Keeping our engines and sep :
arators in proper order by systematic
Tally inspection rather than by wait
ng for breakdowns. =
td Cooperating with one another
20 as to eliminate waste of time by
wo or more .threshing machines trav-
ling over the same road and operat-
ng in the same district.
(e) Making arrangements for the t
.arliest possible threshng of grain on
owlands where the crop is liable to :
damage by floods or overflows.
CD Avoiding thresl1ing when grain
S tough, damp or unripe.
(g) Keeping the separator and
'ylinders up to speed and the blower
II proper adjustment {
(h Maintaining sharp teeth and a
proper adjustment of teeth.
ID Avoiding carelessness in feed {
ng bundles of heavy grain in the ma q
hine. l.
ID By asking farmers to prevent V
waste by binding grain in medium
ize bundles.
(k Cleaning rp thoroughly around
he machine before moving, providing
he farmer with his help assists in
his work.
Cd Discouraging the wasting of
'heat by farmers, in scattering from
undle wagons, by wagon boxes in
ad order, and by failure to rake the
ield and shock row.
