REGISTRATION On
TUESDAY SHOWS A
Loss OF 1907
Only 1852 Voters Are Registered at
Regular observation-disclosures
Show Practically No
Interest.

Both the Republican and the Demo-
cratic parties showed heavy losses In
the general registration held Tuesday
in the city Of Maysville. The total
registration shows loss Of 1907 from
the first days regular registration in
1921.
This loss is explained by the regis
tration officers b. the general lack of
interest and in the failure of the
women voters to list themselves as
they did in 1921. In that year there
was nuch to create interest and to
bring ut the vote. The approach Of a
county election caused the leaders Of
both parties to have their complete or
ganization working and every voter
was vi ged to come out but this year
neither party had its organization
working.

LARGE AUDIENCE HEARS
.EVANGEuST'S FIRST SERMON
DIR. John Vines Captures Large Audi
ence In Plea to Church Membership
Made Tuesday Evening.

Using Peters delivorance from
prison as a basis for his first sermon,
at the Baptist revival Tuesday eve
ming, DR.. John F. Vines, Of Roanoke,
Va, made a great plea for an active
church membership.
The church or Christian who is pit
ted in warfare against iniquity Is GER
tain to be prosecuted, said the evan
gelist. Persecution brings one to his
knees and prayer brings power, he
emphasized in a sermon studded with
interesting Illustrations. His plea was
for active warfare against sin such as
Peter waged but he warned that such
activity was certain to bring persecu-
ton Just as Herod heapcd upon the
disciple. He then recalled the prayer
meeting OF Christians at Mary's home
pleading for tho Disciples deliverancs
and the miraculous striking OF OF his
bonds and breaking down or iron gates
which released the prisoner.
Evangelist Vines is one Of the mos
interesting speakers heard here In re
viyal services for long time and hii
sermons are so plain and SO clinchet
with interesting illustrations that hi
hearers carry his thought away witt
them.
DR.. Vines subject for Wednesda,
evening will be "Open Your Eyes"

CHILDREN's CODE COMMISSION

One of the important matters that
will occupy the attention of the COM
ing state legislature will be the re-
port and recommendation of the North
Dakoa Children's Code, Commission,
just issued. This commission, which
was authorized by the 1921 legisla-
ture, has made an exhaustive survey
of child welfare conditions in the
state and noted defects and present
inadequate. laws. It.. has prepared a
series of bills which &codify all child
welfare laws of North Dakota, revise
existing statutes where , needed to
bring them up to date, supply obvious
needs and propose some important
advance steps,.
The bills, which will be presented
to the legislature soon to convene,
provide for NO radical steps but sim
ply coordinate and improve the ex-
listing system and remedy it's serious
defects in large measure. These bills
provide for the licensing and proper
supervising of all child custody and
welfare agencies in the state dealing
with dependent, neglected, delinquent
and defective children, safeguard, the
interests of such children and seek to
give them a better chance in life, i'm
prove the juvenile court and parole
and probation systems to make them
more general and effective, deal with
mothers pensions, etc. They also
provide for mental clinics and for
more adequate Investigation of con-
ditions surrounding children of the
classes mentioned before final dispo-
sition is made of their cases. The most
important bills provide for establish
ing a state bureau Of child welfare
laws, conduct Investigations and aid
the county welfare boards. The latter
boards, named when the boards of
county commissioners so request
would act as agents of the state bu-
reau, make Investigations and reports
and in general forward the work of
child welfare in their respective Icoun-
ties. Write the Children's Code Com
mission, Bismarck, N. D. for copies of
the report or ask your legislators for
them.
