PASTORS WILL
URGE CHANGES
IN CHURCHES
Cooperation Expected to Aid
in Solving Problems in
North Dakota

Recommendations for interdenom-
national cooperation which may re-
suit in changes in Protestant church
work in western North Dakota will
be made by the party of church
workers and ministers who made a
survey in the southwestern part of
the state last week. The party of
five, which toured the section in
automobiles, came back to Bismarck
Saturday night and members occupi-
ed various pulpits on Sunday. They
will meet with others in Fargo to-
morrow, to discuss the result of the
survey made throughout the state,
and recommendations for the entire
state will be made.
The party which left Bismarck
for the survey included Rev. John
Morange, district superintendent,
Methodist Episcopal church; M. r.
Ziegler, Church of the Brethren, Ell
gin. Illinois; Rev. G. P. Keeling.
Presbyterian church, Park River;
Rev. P. E. Bystrom, Baptist, Bis
marck; Ernest M. Halliday, Congre.
gational Church Extension Board
New York.
They found in their trip that in
many small towns there were as
many as four denominations main
tanning churches, while in other
communities there was no church
and no pastor. The purpose of the
campaign is to point out where, by
cooperation, the denominations car
distribute the pastorates equally in
order to insure the best results fol
church work and for the communi.
ties. .

R. LAF0LLE'T'TE
Campaign to be Launched to
Raise Big Fund by Small
Contributions
TO NAME COMMITTEES
Two Bodies to Have Important
Work in the Campaign of
The Wisconsin Man

Washington, July 21.-Organi-
zation of two committees which
will play vital part in the coming
presidential campaign is engaging
the attention of those who are d.
recting the LaFollette- Wheeler
candidacy.
One committee, to be composed
of II members, will have general
charge of the campaign while the
other will handle finances.
The campaign committee will
have Representative John M. Mel
son of Wisconsin as it's chairman
with headquarters in Chicago,
where he is now directing cam
paign activities. Five members
will be selected by Senators LaFol-
lette and Wheeler and the others
will represent the conference for
progressive political action which
indorsed the candidacy of both.
The finance committee will be
made up of two sections-one rep
resenting LaFollette and Wheeler
the other the conferences
lndictions are that Attorney
General Ekern of Wisconsin will
head the one section and that AL
exander Kahn and Henry H. Ros-
enfield of New York will be in
charge of the other. ...
Members of the finance commit
tee selected by the conference Of
ficials will devote their energies to
the raising Of a campaign fund
through contributions from organi-
cations and individuals affiliated
with the conference. The other
group will seek aid from the pub
lie generally. All of the money
will be turned over to the Nelson
campaign committee for expendi-
lures. Various members of raising
funds, among them proposal to
call on organized workers to con-
tribute part or all of days pay,
are under consideration but a def
mite program has net been worked
out.
Those in charge of the campaign
are generally of the opinion that
at least $3,OOO,O0O will be needed
to finance all of the organization
work and paid activities and that
the money should be raised through
voluntary contributions.

ness originated in territory tributary
to either city.
speaking for the Northern Pacific
milk and cream traffic division, TAX
ing May 1924 business, 80 per cent
of all North Dakota shipments over
our line originated west Of Mandan.
If | include the Mckenzie branch
and only main line to jamestown, so
per cent of all business originated
in this territory. These figures do
not take in any of the branch lines
north or south of Jamestown. A
very large business originates on
the lines north of jamestown.
From past experiences, Bismarck,
Mandan and Minot are the hubs of
the dairy business for fair or con-
vention. We always have fine at
tendance of the cream producers at
these points.
I'VE hope your efforts will meet
with success"

long. Requiescat in Peace, were the
last words left in note under an
old vase in the living room of her

L0SSBY HAIL
.INSTATELESS
THAN IN 1923
State Department Reports for
Season Thus Far Show Great
Falling OFF in Claims
RAINS AGAIN BENEFIT
All Weather Stations in the
State Again Report Rain
Over Sunday

Numerous thundershowers in
North Dakota in the last few days
have brought no reports of hail
damage, it is stated at the stat,
hail insurance department. Hail
claims to the state department to-
day stood at 5000 less than at the
same time last year, with only
about $500 claims for hail loss
made thus far during the present
crop season.
There was some hail around the
Glencoe, Braddock and Hazelton
areas last night, but not enough
to do damage, according to reports
to the weather bureau here. Hail
is now regarded as about the only
enemy grain crops have to face in
this section.
Rain again descended on Bis
marck last night, accompanied by
a severe electrical storm. Many
picnic parties, failing to get in be-
fore the rain, were stalled on the
roads. More than cne-half inch of
rain fell in Bismarck.
The rain was especially heavy
south of here. Parties returning
from Linton said there was heavy
rain there early Sunday morning,
and last night said there was a
veritable cloudburst between Ster-
ling and Menoken.
The weather bureaus rainfall re-
port, for 48 hours ending at z a.
m. today, showed precipitation as
follows:

Fargo, July 2l.-Electrical, wind
and transforms, general in the east
ern half of North Dakota, and in
the Red River Valley last night,
lodged some grain and number Of
buildings, including five in Wynd-
mere.
The damage to crops was not re-
ported as serious in most sections,
farmers at many points believing
that much of the grain would come
up again.
In the Fargo Moorhead vicinity a
24mile-an-hour wind, accompanied
by 80 of an inch of rain and a
great display of lightning, had done
no damage, according to reports
from DR.. H. L. Walster, Agricultural
College expert.
The greatest damage seems to be
in the Wahpeton region. Four barns
and church were blown down at
Wyndmere, according to Wahpeton
reports; machine shed was wreck
ed at Barney, North Dakota, and q
barn and machine shed south OF
Wahpeton. Trees were uprooted.
Wahpeton also reported corn, bar.
ley, oats and rye very badly lodged
though some farmers, of the vicinity
expressed belief that much of the
grain would come back up.
Several small barns were also re-
ported down in the Detroit, Mime
sofa, vicinity where grain was also
reported very badly lodged.
At Hillsboro, North Dakota, little
lodging was reported. A little hail
fell there but was not enough to
cause much if any damage. More
damage was believed done south
east across the state line toward
Halstead, Minnesota, in which vicin-
ity heavy storm wrecked one barn,
damaged crops and downed telephone
poles. No damage reports were
made from Jamestown, Bismarck
Mandan or Minot.

CLUB DISCUSSES.
CROWINCPOWERS

When Wisconsin was young one
heard but little Of the federal and
state governments taking a hand in
the affairs Of this or any other coun-
ty. Now the federal government has
something to say when aid is given
in building a road, has supervision
over certain banks, gives protection
to game birds in the spring, and al
most any day one may see prohibit
ton agents about. There is now agi-
tation for a uniform divorce law which
will be side by side with citizenship
processes.
AS to state power in community
there is a great deal. The state
says how long a boy or girl must at
tend school, the state inspect3 the oil
and gasoline, sees that machines bear
the proper license plates, regulates
the pay of teachers in the public
schools, inspects bakeries, meat mar
kets, and other places of business,
makes landlord post the rates ask
ed for his rooms in hotel, looks in
to the jail and city lock up, has much
to say as to highways, and in many
ways manifests its power in the COM
munity. Only recently the state told
the counties no bounties could be
paid on wild animals where the state
paid bounty. and so forth and SO
forth.
The growth of state and federal
power in the community was ably
presented by H. J. Sleeps and At
torney Clifford M La Mar at the reg
ular meeting OF the Fortnightly Lit
erary club at the home of Rev. and
Mrs. R. M Laurenson on Friday even
ing. The growth of government was
discussed and from that the gradual
advance OF the central departments
into the community.
1t was shown that sometimes a
very few persons, with much propa-
ganda, will be able to obtain the
enactment of a law which is distaste-
full to a majority. Herein lies the
great danger, it was held A few of
any group of professional, business or
tradesmen may obtain legislation to
their interest because others are not
interested. All should be on the alert
when legislative bodies are in ses-
sion.
The sentiment prevailed that the
power at Washington and Madison
would grow greater instead of less,
all on account of the increase in com
plexity of our civilization.
