FUNDS FOR S. s. ASSOCIATION

The community interests of Relig-
ious Education are to have a more
important place in the new day ac-
cording to a statement recently made
by James c. Garrison, State Super
intendent of the North Dakota Sun
day School Association. "All earnest
students of the day recognize the
fact that moral tone and ethical
standards are an indispensable part
of the education of II YOUTH said
Mr.. Garrison land the Sunday School
is coming into it's W as the only
organization that is doing anything
very important in the field Of Re-
ligious Education today"
There are important vaules that

ton of these values that the Asso-
citation of Sunday School Workers,
known as the Sunday School Associ-
alton of the District, County, State,
International and World, are work
ing with such great success in at
tanning.
These values are efficiency of the
local Sunday School worker, recog-

terest of these things at heart, re-
CARELESS of UNCONVENTIONAL afilia-

opinion that shall demand a more
adequate Religious Education pro-
gram, etc.
These values are being developed
by Association Sunday School work
as it holds it's District, County, and
State Conventions, its Institutes,
conferences, for the workers in any
Evangelical Sunday School, who will
take advantage Of the opportunity,
its Community Training Schools and
Classes, its Young People Conferen-
ces, the Daily Vacation Bible Schools
and other can by which Commun-
ity interests may be promoted and
developed. The need of a more ad-
equate supervision and development
of the Association program has made
it necessary that the County and
State Budgets be increased to meet
these demands and acting upon this
need, the last Convention. Of the
State Association, held at Mandan,
adopted such a budget as would give
just such help. A drive to clean up
this for the ensuing year will be
put on beginning October 18th, con-
tinuing through that week, when ev-
eryone interested in this, the great
cts task of the Kingdom, will be
given an opportunity.

rector for Steele County is X. w.

is $4,000, Of which amount the
Steele County share is $500.

there was no means Of communication

searching parties found them.
A dispatch from Paris yesterday

OFFERS Reward
OF $50 TOLAND
FIRE JOKESTERS
Hope to Bring End to Continuous
False Alarm Series in Capture
of the Guilty.

The city authorities offer a re-
ward of $50 to anyone furnishing
evidence which will convict PEI
sons turning in false fire alarms.
During the past month numerous
alarms have been turned in, and
upon arriving in the place the fire
department found them to be false
1t was at first thought that chill
dren were causing the trouble, but
calls have been made at and 3
O'Clock in the morning, and older
persons are blamed for the Of
lenses.
The superintendent of schools
will be asked to make announce
ments in all the schools to the chill
dren, telling them that if they are
in any way connected with these
violations a stop must be put to it.
False alarms are costly to the
city as the fire equipment is ex-
pensive to operate and added to
this is inconvenience caused to the
firemen by getting up at all hours
of the night.

At Work 10 Days.
1t is the belief OF Turnkey Sex
ton that the men had been working
quietly with the tool for 10 days or
more, because of the dulled sur
face of the severed pieces. The
parts had been kept in place by
the plentiful use of soap and other
sticky substances. The whole thing
was accomplished by the use of a
piece of haCksaw not more than
two inches in length, thus requir-
ing much perseverance.
This marked the third unsuccess-
full attempt at Jail break within the
present year. Two previous ones
had been successful, the big one in
January when p men esca. ed, and
