in the South without a single Baptist
church or meeting house, it has been
ascertained by the campaign head
quarters. BY reason of the large mum.
Der of public officials residing there,
and the large number of people who
go there from every section of the
county to attend the sessions of the
various courts, pay their taxes and
the like it is regarded that the county
seat towns are of especial Importance
and it is hoped that before the next
five years have passed there will be
an active Baptist church in every
county-seat in the South.
Engaged in the work of state mis-
sions at present are 1924 missionaries,
and while this may seem like a reason
able number, when the vast territory
to be served is considered it has been
found that fully 1000 extra men and
women are needed at once, for in ad-
dition to reaching the people who are
not christians there are many weak,
struggling churches which need assist
ance and whose members need devel-
opment. In the several states of the
Southern Baptist convention, for in
stance, there are 5000 churches with
a membership of many thousand which
give but very little to any interest of
the denomination and which are doing
but very small thirgs for the uplift of
their communities.
In addition to these very weak
churches, many of which have no pas
tor, there are in the various states a
total of 1868 churches which have
preaching services only once a month,
5000 churches which have services
only onCe a month, and only about
2,200 full time churches. Part of the
81, 100000 apporticned for state mis-
sions will so to the. strengthening of
the weak churches and the bringing of
them to full-time pastorates where
possible.
Leaders in the campaign have
sought to care for every interest of
the denomination in the SIS, 600, 900
that is asked in cash and five-year
pledges during Victory Week, Novem-
Der 30-December 7, when the final
drive will be made, but they recognize
that the future development of the
church depends in a great measure
upon the development of the churches
at home which is the peculiar task Of
state missions. !

SCOTTISH RITE LODGE
ORGANIZED N M|NOT
Preparedness Lodge Of Perfection to
Be Constituted in this City May
q with More than 100 Charter
Members.

Preparedness Lodge Of Perfection,
which includes the Scottish Rite de-
grees from the 4th to the 14th degree
inclusive, will be constituted in this
city on May % with more than hum
dred Charter members.
This is one of the higher Masonic
organizations and is a stepping stone
to the Shrine which we may expect
to see established in Minot just as
soon as Masonic Temple can be pro-
vided that is adequate to care for the
additional room which will be neces-
sary.
Minot is the logical Masonic center
for northwestern North Dakota and
there is no reason why this city can
not within short time have Shrine
just as we'll as Grand Forks and Far
60.
The Preparedness Lodge of Perfec-
tion will have exclusive jurisdiction
in Ward county and concurrent juris-
diction in all other counties Of the
state except where Shrine is located.
The initiatory work will consume
all day and good share of the ev-
ening Of May %. H. C. Plumley, of
Fargo, an acting 33rd degree Mason,
and others from that city will be here
that day to take charge of the work.
A big banquet will be given at its
conclusion.
L. F. Vollmer is acting secretary
and treasurer of the new organization
and will hold this position until the
night of the first meeting.

tons to start a similar establishment
in the city of Richardton, was arrest
cd there last Wednesday by Sheriff
Larson of Valley City. charged with
seeking to defraud He was taken to
the latter city and is now awaiting
trial. Meyers, it appears, came to
Richardton about week ago and inn
mediately represented himself as a
devout churchman with large fam
lily. He told BANKERS and business
men Of that community that he had
selected Richardton as his future home
in order that his children might enjoy
the benefits Of parochial school edu-
cation, that he intended to establish
100000 building on one of the
main corners and would open NAM
moth business there. He claimed that
part Of his late fathers estate in
Montana would be devoted to this
purpose as soon as the estate was set
lied Attempts to interest Richardton
lankers resulted in an investigation
and the arrest followed. 1t is said
that more than dozen charges stand
against Meyers in the eastern part Of
the state where. it is alleged, he at
tempted to swindle several bankers by
processing an intimate acquaintance
ship and endorsement Of Catholic
clergymen.

LAWS WRITTEN into
STATUTE BY THREATS
State Auditor Criticizes Townley's q
Domination Of State Administra.
tion--Attacks Various Bills.

Valley City, N. D., April CT do
not believe laws should be written
into North Dakota's statute books by
threat or force" declared State Au-
ditor Karl Kositzky here Sunday
afternoon, land if any one man is
possessed of such power it is high
time he was deprived Of that power
and that it be restored to the people"
Kisitzky spoke to an audience of
Barnes county farmers that packed
the court house here. He criticized
A. G. Townley's domination of state
administrative affairs and attacked
the educational, printing, judicial and
Immigration bills.
Saturday night he spoke to another
audience composed largely of city
people.
Told Them to Lie.
sFour years ago, when the farmers
went. to Bismarck and demanded GER
tain legislation, they were told to go
home and slop their hogs. This year
when they had everything in their
power, Townley threatened many of
the legislators and state officials po-
litically if they did not do as he said.
Instead of telling them to slop their
hogs, he told one of them, Senator
Mees, to go home and lie like damn
horse thief
"You don't have to take my word
for this; talk to Mees, Simon Nagle,
H. A. Harmon or Attorney General
LANCER, they all heard it, and they
are men of reputation and want to
tell you that people who are trying to
destroy their reputation and mine,
have. no reputation themselves. /
leave 1T to the people"
K0sit1ky declared it is time the
people of the city and farmers united
for the betterment Of town and coun-
try. He deprecated hatred that OBJ
tains in many communities against
the formers and in rural sections
against city people. In regard to the
printing bills, he declared that it
TGg'd s1y j ssens pFot' q pssses. ss
No Price Limit on Texts.
The educational bill, he said, pro-
vides that commission shall deter
mine what text books are to be used
and the bill provides no limit in price
that they shall charge for these books.
They can charge 81 or s., he said
Kositzky also wondered who would
write the text books whether it
would be Townley or Mills.
III wouldn't want my children" he
declared, tsto be forced to. study doc
trines of Walter Thomas Mills"
He attacked the judicial bill be-
cause of its increase in district Judges
and its additional cost to the state.
He said some Nonpartisan leaguers
had. proposed bill reducing the num-
ber Of judges from twelve to ten, but
William Lemke declared they should
have fifteen judges and that Lemke
had his way
