Baptists To Erect
Church Addition

The Baptist church people are ar
ranging to build a substantial addi-
tion to their church and work will
be commenced right away. At the
morning service last Sunday the con-
gregation voted unanimously to make
this Improvement.
The addition will be that of an au-
ditorium and will be built on the
west part of the present structure.
The portion now being used for gen.
eral church services was originally
intended for Sunday school and
class room. The basement and foun-
dation work will soon be under way.
The basement will be 34x60 feet in
dimensions and will contain a COM
plete kitchen to be used to make
more complete the many social fea-
lures the membership OF the church
have. The remainder is to be divid-
ed into Sunday school rooms with
rolling partitions. which will allow
this part of the building to be used
for the many purposes.
Larger quarters have been neces-
sary because of the constantly in
creasing Sunday school and because
the pastor and people feel they must
prepare themselves to render a great
er service in the community.
Rev. Bunch. the pastor. has been
in charge eleven months and has been
working hard to build up an active
and prosperous church and extend its
good to all the community. In this
he has been succeeding admirably
and the friends of that denomination
are pleased to know that this i'm
provement Ia to bo made.

In December 1916, Townley was al
the height of his power. He was
flushed with victory and anxious and
alert for new accomplishments. He
was the hero of the hour in North Da.
kota. His political victory was her
aided throughout tho country by
friends and foes, his friends singing
his praise and his enemies likewise
advertising him by denouncing him
from New York to California. But II
was not the Nonpartigan League that
was advertised. II was A. c. Town
ley. The power cf the Nonpartisan
League was not recognized. 1t was
the power Of A. C. Townley. 1t was
not the farmers organization that
was given credit. II was A. c. Town
10y.
Hence 1t was A C. Townley who
was Immediately sought by self-seek-
ing politicians who wanted political
jobs and favors on the one hand, and
promoters and commercial agents
who wished to use the Nonpartisan
League to assist them in their money
making schemes on the other hand.
Some wanted to start hog rancheo.

wanted to promote socialistic coloni-
zation projects, while others wanted
tt become associated with Townley in
straight real estate, money-making
enterprises. He was sought by oil
men. land men, men with patents and
men with dreams and ideas. He was
sought by men from New York, Cali
fornia, Washington and Florida. The
Florida man won.
Has Power Now.
Townley had been in big promo
tions before as the writer has related
but he never had the backing, the
power nor the opportunity to put over
a real promotion that he now had in
his grasp. He didn't accept the first
proposition put to him. He had had
experience in promoting. He looked
over the projects submitted to him
from New York, California and
Washington. He looked over the
enc from Florida. He had been in
Florida befoIe he organized his farm
er league. He knew the state had a
great future. He knew it would pro-
duce prize oranges, grape fruit anI
other tropical products, He knew
that land that produces such crops
in a short time would sell for $3.50
$500 and more an acre. He knew
what California had done. What the
apple district of Washington had
done. How men bought land at $40,
SIS and $25 per aero and in three Or
four years received $500 to $500 and
more per acre. Here was his oppor-
tunity for makey-making-in Sunny
