breaches ON THE
BATTLE FOR BREAD

''To get more than we earn is graft"
said the Rev. Mason w. Pressly in the
course Of his morning sermon yesterday
at the First Presbyterian Church Tho
subject was THE Battle for Breed"
and the text was taken from the sixth
chapter. eleventh verse Of Matthew.
"Give us this day our daily bread"
DR.. Presslv said in part:
''The truth tolls; SO tell the truth.
We have to live. To live. we must
eat. To eat. we must have bread. To
get bread. we must work. Toll is the
law OF life. The law Of labor Is hard.
because Of disobedience 20 God. because
Of sin il was enacted. IN the sweat Of
thy face shalt thou earn thy bread
1t was the law Of eating that was FIRST
violatedi and ever since. the burden OF
life has consisted OF food. drink and
clothes. These make nine-tenths Of
human effort. To get them is passion.
to hold them is greed 20 get more tlian
we earn is graft The hattie for bread
is fierce. Millions of men and women
are fighting IT nard.
Tens of thousands are going to the
wall. Little children are starving.
Plenty abounds with poverty.
THE doom and drudgery Of toll win
never be frightened aud lightened tn
we learn to pray. Give us this day
our daily bread Surplus above our
needs makes worriment. We would
worry less If we pray ed more. Wa
would have more If we prayed better.
We prav as though we were children
and drudge like outlaws. We pray as
though we had a Father and. worry
like orphans. One instance Of Christs
worrying would break the power of the
gospel, and we weaken II when We
worry. Anxiety is a chill and fever
that consumes. IL multiples III and
substracts comfort. IL doubles tolls
and halves joys. II divides our power
and doubles our burdens. II spoils our
work and sDoils us. DOn't worry. II
kills. Trust, believe, hope Beauty,
brains and Drawn are more blessed by
God than by bread. Give yourself 10
God in joyous service. and He VIII give
thee bread, and all the desires Of thine
heart"

TO CLEAN UP
KING ST. CURBS
Police Have Orders to Arrest
All ViOIatOrS of Market
Ordinance

That the curbs along the market dis
trict in King street will he cleaned up
and that as soon as possible was the
substance Of a declaration made by
Judge Cochran in City Court this morn
ing and he told Chief of Police Black
to bring in everyone who violated the
city market ordinance regarding the
keeping of fruit stands In the street.
There were three men and a woman in
City Court this morning, each charged
with such violation. The charge
against the woman was dismissed, hut
the others were each fined $5 and costs
and told that an additiual fine of s.
and costs would be imposed so long as
they continued to keep their places of
business along the cur5ing. The court
with the aid of the police intend to take
stringent setps TO clean up King street
and the police have orders to make ar
rests in all cases where it appears that
the market ordinance is being vio-
lated.
Charles Sicco was the hrst arraigned.
Against Jennie Sieco there was also a
charge, but after Judge Cochran had
fined the man S. and costs he dismiss
sed the case against the woman. The
arrest was made by Patrolman Michael
McGillon. Sicco could not speak much
English and an interpreter had to be
secured. His place, the policeman
testified. was at No. 307 King street,
where he kept fruit stand near TO the
curbing without occupying any of the
adjoining buildings. Sicco said that
he took the place because he saw others
have their stands there.
Charles Pratesi was the next called
on similar charge, but asked the
court to continue his case which Judge
Cochran refused to do. ''You were ar
rested Saturday. said the Judge, "and
have had plenty of time to prepare your
case"
But my attorney was sick said
Pratesi.
There are plenty who are not sick, ."
replied the court; "and anyway it
wouldn't make much difference if you
had one here There have been too
many complaints about conditions in
King street and the law has got to be
inforced. 1t wouldn't make any diff
ference If you had hftE lawyers"
Pratesi then said he would appeal his
case. The Judge imposed a hne OF
So and costs on him. Patrolman Nc
Gillion also arrested Pratesi and testi-
eid that the Italian had three places.
one at s09. 81 and 313 in King street.
At 81 he had mis- store the policeman
said but at the other places he had
no store but simply fruit stands.
Pratesi told the court that he rented
the store and thought lie had a right
to keep "a fruit stand. but Judge Coch-
ran asked him if he rented the whole
streets and if he had a right to keep
stands in the other two places along
the curb.
Louis Polumba was the last to face a
charge of a similar nature and pleaded
guilty. He was fined s. and costs. The
Judge then told Chief of Police Black
to send in everyone that wos found
having fruit stands along King street
curb in violation of the city ordinance.
