SECT MOVES FROM
 FLORIDA

BAGDAD, Fla, June 13.-Like the Arabs they have folded their tents and slipped away. Their temple or tabernacle-a small wooden structure 50x3O feet--is for sale
 Thus ends eight months of efforts by group of sanctified preachers to exhort Bagdaders into the belief that absolute qualification is the only sure route to heaven.
 With only thirty-five converts in show for their eight months Of exhor- tation, all but eight of whom back slid from the faith before the pnnacle of required perfection was reached, the sanctified ministers have departed for Atlanta and other more fertile fields.
 Eight months ago they came to Bagdad as unostentatiously as they now have left, preaching the doctrine of absolute sanctification by which the individual reaches the point where sin is impossible. There were ten of them and their wives and they erected a small wooden temple where their services were held.
 For quite a while the tri-weekly meetings were largely attended; nearly everybody went and quite a number of Bagdad people started on the narrow path of the faith Tut, as the sequence showed, only eight of the thirty-odd who put their feet on the path in the beginning came in at the finish. The remainder backslid despite the example and exhortations of their ministers. These eight are now raising funds to continue the work while their leaders penetrate further into the wilderness of the unsanctified world" to gather addi- tional disciples.
 NOT DISAPPOlNTED
 After all," said Rev. Howard, one of the retiring sanctified preachers, "our efforts in Bagdad have net been so unsatisfactory. In nearly all churches the percentage of converts , who stick is small. We leave about eight truly sanctified recruits here to keep the church going and continue the good work.
 "You see, so many people who have not read their Bibles closely do not know what sanctification really is. There are three states-first, that of the penitent who grieves over his sins Then after. awhile he should develop 1 into the state of conversion. where he knows that his sins have been for given. He thinks he is sanctified then, but he is not. Conversion is a nightly slippery place where the devil is always on the job and the first thing the merely converted man knows he has been showed off sidewise into the mire of sin. That's what's the matter with so many of our Bagdad people. They have mistaken conver sion for sanctitfication and have not prayed on and pressed on and strug gled on for the baptism of the Holy Ghost. It's hard to get the mass of people to see these things so plainly taught in the Bible"
 It was easy to attend the services of the sanctified people because in their church, with it's dirt floors, saw dust aisles and plain plank walls and benches, fine clothes were not re ouired. A coatless, dirty-faced sinner with one suspender and mouthful of tobacco received as joyous wei come as anybody. Neither is the "passing of the hat" ever witnessed The sanctified breaches work for the soul without money and without price

BURKE COUNTY Is NAT.
URAL HABITAT OF POETS

A bewhiskered young farmer
dropped into the Tribune Office Mon
day, and after thawing the icicles
from his stubbly beard, approached
the editor rather diffidently and
asked: "Do you happen to know
Omar Khayyam?"
The editor didn't stop to look
Omar up in the city directory, out
after giving the blue-1acketed farm
er a critical look, he reached over
to the rear of his desk,v where he
keeps a small collection of his fav-
orite books, and picked up a copy
Of Edwin Fitzgerald's wonderful
translation of the Persian poet.

what sort Of a job he had done.

DRIVE
ON GOPHER PEST
\ THORO CAMPAIGN AGAINST
GOPHERs IN BURKE 90.
>THIS YEAR ~~ =.

5 A thorough gopher eradication
is being planned for Burke
county this spring. Letters were
sent out this week from the county
agents office to all township clerks
and town board chairmen asking
their cooperation In: making the
drive success. Every effort has
been made to make the obtaining
Of the poisoned oats as convenient
and inexpensive as possible and it
is hoped that every township in
the county will purchase poison and
see that it is properly spread. If
enough townships take up xne go
pher poisoning to make it fairly
countrywide proposition the county
superintendentNs Office has agreed
to call holiday in the rural schools,
designating it as Gopher Day, in
order that the school children may
assist in spreading the poison. The
letter sent out explaining the cost
Of the poison and amount recon-
mended is as follows:
II am writing to you as an Of
ficer in your township to inform
you of our plan in regard to gopher
poisoning this spring. Last year
only few of the townships in the
county did any poisoning but this
year we hope that every township
will make plans to see that every
quarter is gone over before seeding.
Unless we do it all together and do
it thoroughly it will not do much
more than hold the gophers down
but if every township goes after it
this year and the town board sees
to it that every acre is gone over
we can give the gophers set back
that will make poisoning cnneces-
sary for long time to come. This
Is the kind of campaign they put
over in Stutzman county five years
ago and they haven't had to poison
gophers since.
"Strychnine is down TO $1.00 per
ounce if bought thru vne govern
ment and other materials have also
gone down soIthat I have figured
| 1t out that II the poison is ordered
in advance we can deliver extra

LEAGUERS CONFER
SUNDAY IN MINOT
MARKS AND INGERSON ATTEND
IMPORTANT CONFERENCE
WITH LEAGJERS

County Commissioner e. J. Marks
ard Senator Ralph Ingerson repre-
sented Burke County in a confer
ence Of Nonpartisan League leaders
held at the office of the Ward Coun-
ty Farmers Press last Sunday. The
meeting was called for the purpose
of getting the sentiment Of the peo-
pie in regard to future policy.
Among those in attendance were
Lynn J. Frazier, John N. Hagan
and H. A. Paddock, the latter being
present as the personal representa-
tive of Mr.. Townley.
Mr.. Frazier made strong denial
of the report that he had taken
stand in favor of the balance Of pow
er scheme. He said that he was in
favor of putting a full ticket in the
field in North Dakota, that he want
ed the League to maintain a stand
for honor and principle, without
compromise or deals with any ele-
ment, and to fight it out on that
line, no matter whether it should
mean victory or defeat. In this
sentiment the editor of the Tribune
most heartily and sincerely concurs,
and we believe it is also the senti-
ment of practically every Lacquer
| in Burke county.
| Mr.. Paddock, who was at the
| conference as the personal repre-.
/ sentative of Mr.. Townley, gave ar
outline of the balance of powe,
proposition. It was not the pur.
pose of Mr.. Townley or his followers
to force this idea upon anyone, but
it was Mr.. Paddock's business to
| lay it before the members in North
Dakota, and they can take it or
leave it, as they see fit.
From now until after the state
convention, it will be the first care
of every good Lacquer to avoid a
serious split in the League councils
and, this can certainly be accom-.
plished, as neither Mr.. Townley
nor those opposed to his balance OF
power idea have any serious diff
ferences, except as to the advis-
ability of placing a ticket in the
field. This is practically settled, as
far as North Dakota is concerned
and we feel quite safe in taking il
for granted that the balance of pow
er idea will not get to first base
either in the county or state con
ventions.
Mr.. Marks was named as dele
gate to attend a conference to b.
held at Fargo in the near future tt
consider a lot Of important matters
affecting the entire state; but HI
now proposes to step aside and gel
Senator Ingerson to 60 in his place
Mr.. Marks not only recognizes Mr.
Ingerson's ability in economic ant
palitical matters, but he also. con
siders him a very effective conciliat
or, for which there is some littl,
need at this time. ae-

MORE ABOUT The
TWIN CITY nOLDUP
BANKER TELLS OF
SPECTACULAR HOLDUP,
IN MINNEAPOLIS

OF course, everybody in Bowgells
and Burke cocnty have long ago
read the various stories about the
thrilling and wholesale hold-up,
which took place at the Tavern
Inn on Superior Boulevard, one
of the fashionable eating places in
Minneapolis two weeks ago last
Tuesday. We heard it intimsted
that local banker had been in the
fracas, and called him up to get the
news for last weeks Tribune, but
he was not in a humor to have any
thing printed about it, as great
deal of misinformation had been
spread about the affair. The local
man, who, in company with seventy
other diners at the inn, was or
dered to stick up his hands by the
masked bandits, was A. U. Ander-
son, cashier of the Burke County
Bank.
Among the bankers and business
men from this section OF North Da-
kota in the dining room at the
time were Mr.. Anderson of Bow
bells and H. H. Martin and Harold
Eriksmoen, both Crosby bankers.
The table d'hote luncheon was
progressing as usual when sudden
ly ten masked men, each carrying
a heavy Colt automatic In each
hand, stepped into the inn and
commanded the guests to hold up
their hands. The order was COM
piled with in most instances, but
the order was so unexpected. and
looked so much like practical
joke, that three Of the men resist
ed and were promptly cracked over
the head with a gun, knocking them
unconscious and opening ugly
gashes in their scalps. Mr.. Ander-
son of Bowbells was close enough
to the men that were slugged to
have touched any one OF the three.
In his own case, Mr.. Anderson
says that he suspected at first that
it was a hoax, so often pulled off in
lodge and community affairs--but
it took him only a moment to find
out differently. He did not shove
his. hands up at the first signal, and
one of the bandits prodded him
roughly in the ribs with both Of his
guns--at this he stuck his hands
UP about halfway, but the bandit
gave him a threatening look and
showed him roughly against the
wall. Put 'em up quick!" he
said, and Mr.. Anderson stuck 'em
up above his head without any fur,
ther argument, as blood had al
ready been spilled right at his ell
| bow.
The bandits did a thoro job
they frisked Mr.. Anderson three
times, getting his wallet with $40,
some loose silver and all his lodge
receipts and other papers. The
bandits got off with about $4,000
worth of money and jewelry.
| After the job, the masked men
got away by auto, and the police
men got stalled in snowdrift, and
made the mistake of all getting on
the train together at, Jordan, MINI.
which gave the railway officials 6
clue, and the police got eight OF
them from the train as it was pull
ing into Sioux Falls, s. D. The
other two, who were believed tc
have carried about half Of the loot
got off at Worthington, Minn., and
have not as yet been apprehended
