RECORD IS SET IN HEAVY FALL OW HERE Greatest Amount of Snow in Over Two Years—Will Be of Benefit to Farmers fel Bismarck and sout! t -snotvfall in over two years yesterday morning, afternoon and evening. O. W. Rob- erts, federal weather forecaster, said today. Not since April, 1925, has the south- western part of ‘the state had such a record snowfall, six inches having fallen yesterday ith .44 inch pre- cipitation. On April 25, 1925, a seven- inch fall was recorded. The snowfall also set another rec- ord, Roberts said, being the heaviest at any observation point in Minne- sota, North and South Dakota and Wyoming forthe day. Other parts of the state apparently were little affected by the snow, the northwest- ern part of the state not recording precipitation yesterday, while a light snow fell at Fargo. With a “fair and warmer” predic- tion for tonight and tomorrow, indi- cations are that the snow covering will be greatly reduced in the next few days, Roberts said. “Untold benefit” will accrue farmers from the erts declared, -pointi top six inches of soi fields and well grazed pastures is practically devoid of frost, so that the melting snow can penetrate.

MANY COUNTIES TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OFFER : Minneapolis, March 10.—(P)—A dozen counties of North Dakota and South Dakota have accepted the offer of four Minneapolis banks to help their farmers by financing seed pur- chases through loans to boards of county commissioners, uw hours of the time when the telegrams, announcing Minneapolis’ new effort to aid northwest agriculture, were de- livered at banks in county seat towns of the two states. Letters and telegrams arrived this morning at the offices of the First National Bank, Northwestern National Bank, Minneapolis Trust company and Minnesota Loan and Trust com- any, announcing that at it 12 ‘kota counties already have begun plang for seed lien bonds or seed warrants, to be discounted by one or another of the four banks. Proceeds of the loans will be turn- ed over to farmers whose seed sup- plies are short, as a result of drought damage to crops in 1926.

Radio ree ive miles was good, Captain Gray said. He lost consciousness at this height and failed to recover until the balloon descended to about 17,000 feet. The height to which he as- cended will be known after calibra- tion of several instruments. The flight brought out a need for better oxygen apparatus and a more expeditious method of disposing of ballast. Upon regaining consciousness the halloonist found his craft descending at the rate of 1,200 feet per minut: Dizzy from lack of oxygen and in- cold, he tried to cut away ballast but found three special knives used for that purpose had become too dull for use. By dint of frantic efforts with his fingers, he succeeded in tearing away enough ballast to slow descent to about 600 feet per minute. At this rate his balloon crashed through telephone wires near Ashley, TI, and the bulloonist emerged with only a sprained ankle. ving set and other shattered. The radio instruments. w REV. PALMER OPENS SERIES __ OF MEETINGS Services Will Be Held Each Evening at Presbyterian Church. in Bismarck PE AE | Taking as his theme the event of Jesus passing through Jericho, S. E. Palmer, pastor of the P terian church’ of Waukesha, W night began a series of 10 special meetings ax guest preacher of the First pr@sbyterian church here. Rev. Palmer told the story of how Z chaeus, who was a short man and unable to see Christ because of the large crowds thronged ubout, climbed into a sycamore tree, and of how Jesus, seeing him called him to come down, saying that “this day he would abide in his house.” “Zacchaeus had a plan,” said Rev. Palmer, “and he will make it worth while for every young man or wom- an who makes a place for Him. Are you accepting the standards of the crowds tonight, accepting them for your life without testing them for yourself, or do you have a plan? There is no one who responds more fully and genuinely to the challenge of Jesus Christ than a young man does when he begins to feel that challenge in his life. He brings that challenge tonight to the young man and young woman,” declared the preacher. because he came to the place where Jesus was,” he continued. “It would be folly for me to say that Jesus Christ would be found only in the First. Presbyterian church at ° Bis- marck for the next ten days. But I do. know a good many people will have a better chance to find Him here than listening to the radio or even reading their own Bibles at home. Ever since the day of Pentecost we know that wherever His people are gathered and are ready to re- ceive His’ message they always re- ceive the message to the extent that they are prepared for it. Meetings Open to Everyone “These meetings, beginning to- night, are fur everyone in this house and everyone in Bismarck. I won if there is anyone,” asked the prea er, “who is satisfied with his Chris- tian experience? Or are you like Zacchaeus up in a sycamore tree to see Jesus? It is my own conviction that every person in Bismarck wants the reality, that Jesus alone can bring, yet how strange, we go to the uttermost parts of the earth in- istead of the place where Jesus is most apt to be. Never yet has any- one gone apart to the place where Jesus is going to be but Jesus has seen that person, recognized him, called him by name and given him that blessing by which he and every man can say, ‘{ know Him whom | believe.’ “Never yet has Jesus refused fel- lewship with the worst or most con- temptible sinner on earth. Some folks will refuse the fellowship of broth- ers in Christ, but Jesus never does. Whenever you and I go to the. place where Jesus is going to be we take him back with ws.
