Plans have been made for stir
ring gospel crusade to be held in the
M. E. church of this town, beginning.
Sunday, January 2, and continuing
until January 16. The pastor, Rev.
J. G. Mccoy, will be assisted in the
series of meetings by DR.. S. d.
Golf, evangelist, and j. Dalbert
Coutts. choir director, soloist and
aecompanist.
A business man in the pulpit and
a "Paderewiski' leading the music,
is the way this evangelistic combi-
nation has been spoken of, and there
is every prospect of the meetings
being stirring ones.
DR.. Golf gave up successful
business career twenty years ago
with a large annual income to be-
come an evangelist with no guar1
teed compensation, At the time
his entering the ministry he v u
vice-president of a firm that was
established by his father in 1872.
His experiences with evangelistic
work have been many and varied.
His education was obtained at the
Friends School in Philadelphia, and
at the University of Pennsylvania
and the University of Georgia.
while in business" he says, "the
call to the ministry kept pressing
me-" Finally, Bishop McCabe per-
suaded him to enter Drew Theolog-
ical Seminary. After finishing his
preparatory work there, he entered
the Philadelphia Conference of the
Methodist Church, and served sew
eral charges acceptably, until in
1912 he was appointed by Bishop
Smith to eyangelistic work in the
conference. Since then he has given
his entire time to evangelistic work
in all denominations, including large
union tabernacle meetings in many
States.
During the war, he served as a
Y. M. c. A. secretary at Camp Mer-
ritt, and also field secretary of the
Pocket Testament League. While at
camp seven thousand soldiers signed
as members of the league and three
thousand of them became converts.
Mr.. Coutts, who is accompanying
DR.. Goff, and leads the singing at thss
services, is known as the "Padere-
wiski of the Church" Born in Scot
land, he began playing the piand
when three years of age. Befo1
coming to America, he was CO
nected with the choir in the Spur
geon Tabernacle in London. He
has toured every State in the Union
except the New England States in
his evangelistic work. When in the
South, DR.. Frank Norris, noted
Fundamentals of Fort Worth,
Texas, heard him and employed him
for his church. For five years Mr..
Coutts had charge of DR.. Norris
musical program, organizing two
choirs of six hundred and fifty
voices. In New York he recently
completed an engagement with DR..
John Roach Straton at Calvary
Baptist Church. He also was once
associated with DR.. w. B. Riley in
evangelistic work in Minneapolis.

Contests for Burleigh county
offices are creating the greatest
interest in the general election of
next Tuesday, with those for sheriff
and county commissioner attract
ing the most attention. Frank
Barnes and Rollin Welch are the
two candidates for the office Of
sheriff. and predictions are that the
race will be very close. An equally
close race is predicted between Edw.
&. Patterson and George +. Will for
the county commissionership in the
first district. Oscar Backman and
William Fricke are candidates for
the commissionership in the third
district, while Axel Solder is unop-
posed for reelection as commits
sioner from the fourth district.
Five candidates for reelection to
county offices have no opposition at
this election. They are Miss Madge
,, Runey for county superintendent of
] schools, G. l.. Spear for county
treasurer. Chas. Fisher for clerk of
court, Fred Swenson for register of
deeds and 4. Z. Atkinson for county
surveyor.

election by John H. Bowers, while

John NJ. Belk are seeking the post
Of county coroner, Mr.. Gobel being
a candidate for reelection.
Six Candidates for Justice
There are six candidates for the
four positions Of justice Of the
peace and this race will probably be
close. The candidates are Anton
Beer, G. G. Boise, w. S. Casselman,
Roland II. Crane, j. !. Roop and
A. +. Shipp.
The most exciting race for state
office is probably that Of John E.
Bjorlic and Miss Bertha X. Palmer
for state superintendent of public
instruction. Miss Palmer received
large majority over the other four
candidates for the nomination in
the June primary, carrying almost
every county in the state. Mr..
Bjorlie has conducted an active
campaign, however. and it is pre-.
dicted that the results Of Tuesdays
vote will be close. Miss Palmer
was for several years assistant to
Miss Minnie Nelson, present state
superintendent of public instruc.

Washington, ID. c., Oct. 3O.--The
School-boy fatrol idea, which has
been operated for some time under
the auspices Of motor clubs in
various communities, has developed
results which Justify the application
Of the principle on a nationwide
scale, according to statement
issued from the National Hcadquar-
ters Of the American Automobile
Association today.
This statement was broadcast
following an analysis of the expert
ences OF affiliated A. A. A. clubs
which have co-operated with school
and civic authorities in establishing
Patrols in the schools in their terri
tory.
without exceptions" said the
A. "A. A. announcement, ut can be
stated that wherever the idea has
been put into effect and given a
fair trial, it has not only contrib
uted to the development Of the
safety instinct among school chill
dren but has actually saved many
lives and prevented many injuries.
No civic activity Of motor clubs
hove proven more worth while than
this one"
Endorsed by Many Clubs
The following clubs, which are
conducting School Patrol depart
ment in connection with their safety
work, heartily endorse the position
Of the national motoring body: the
Chicago Motor Club, a pioneer
in the movement; the Detroit Auto
mobile Club; the Carolina Motor
Club, Greensboro, N. c.; District
Of Columbia Division of the A.A.A.;
Auto Club of Northern Michigan,
Saginaw, Mich; Cincinnati Auto
Club; Akron Automobile Club;
Automobile Club Of Philadelphia;
Auto Club Of Berkshire County,
Pittsfield, Mass; and the Automo-
bile Club Of Honolulu.
Commenting on the results, ThOs.
p. Henry, President Of the A.A.A.
said:
1.-THE experiment has proven sue
cessful. Wherever the older boys
in their school have been given re-
spOnsiblity for protecting t he
younger children in crossing the
streets at the peak hour of traffic,
accidents are being reduced. Apart
altogether from this very practical
and much desired result, the plan
has made wonderful contribu-
ton to the development of the
safety instinct among school chill
dren and has helped materially to
put across the idea of safety as
part Of the curriculum.
Splendid Training
"The idea of selecting the boys,
or the girls for that matter. who
stand best in their work and gen.
eral conduct, for patrol duty is
splendid training for future citizen
ship. The leaven passes through
the school mass and in addition to
the fact that it helps to save lives
now, we can feel assured that the
child who is taught safety for the
first year Of his school life is not
likely to develop into a carless
motorist or pedestrian"
The A. A. A. Executive said that
school authorities and civic bodies
Of various kinds have given splen-
did cooperation to the clubs that
have been responsible for the initia-
ton of the movement.
