FILE SUIT AGAINST
 THE HARVESTERC C0..
Continuation of Probe Ex- tending Over Five
 Years

Washington, April 29.-A evil antitrust suit aiming at the dissolution of the In- ternational Harvester company will be filed in Minneapolis tomorrow. This is the continuation of an investigation ex- tending over five years. Attorne- Gen. eral Wickersham and counsel for the cor poration have tried to agree upon plan of disintegration which would meet the ends of the law.
 Their endeavors were futile. The one insuperabe obstacle was the refusal of the harvester company to separate the Mccormick and Deering Harvesting Ma chine companies, which are subsidiaries, in any plan of dissolution.
 The government maintained that the so- called trust, as whole, controlled from S5 to 90 per cent of the harvesting busi- ness of the country and it's two principal subsidiafies-the Mccormick and Deering representing from 50 to 65 per cent of the business.
 The Interna tional Harvester is cor poration composed of six subsidiaries and capitalized at $140,0GJ,000. The subsidiaries are Mccormick, Deering, Champion, Will waukee, Osborne and Plano.

Baton Rouge. La. April 29.-The below Baton Rouge during the present flood period came this morning with a high wind which broke into almost a storm and in some instances sent the water over the top of the levees. From the mouth of the Red river to Baton
 Rouge the Mississippi river today is higher than ever before recorded and the fact that the levees in this section withstood the strain of the increasing tide, coupled with the high wind. Is considered encouraging

DIR. J. E. THACKER DELIVERS
 SERMON ON EVANGELISM

were born into the kingdom in a single day. but that is not what the Bible tells us caused joy in heaven-'Joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth.'
 "1t is not by might or by power. but by My spirit sayeth the Lord. If we aie saved, it is by the spirits power. 'Ye must be born again. If we are to understand the Bible 1t will not be by our intellectual ability to com prehend. but the spirit who leads us into all truth Our great trouble Is lack of power. but 'ye shall receive power after that the holy ghost is come upon you Thus evangelism without the holy spirit is like an engine without steam It Is worse than useless It isn't worth the effort. But the God of pentecost is the God of today and the God of the disciples is our God, too, just as able and just as willing and ready to give His spirit to those that ask as in the days of old. Strange that we should lack most the one thing that we can have for the asking while our time and thought and energy are ab- sorbed with the secondary.
 Evangelism is a passion for souls. Tn the tenth chapter of the Romans and the first verse of Paul seems 10 unfold before us His great heart. We see there one great, overwhelming consuming, controlling desire toward His brother man. The supreme desire of every Christians heart the con- trolling passion of every preachers soul ought to be for the salvation of others"
 The meetings at the Highland church are hold every day at II o'clock in the morning and at 7;3O o'clock at night They. will continue throughout the next two weeks and a large num- Der of people are present every day to hear Dr. Thacker.

Another large crowd was present at the evangelistlc meeting at the South Highland Presbyterian church last night Dr. J. E. Thacker was at his best and delivered a stirring sermon on "Evangelism.n The music for the meetings Is excellent, being under the direction of Mir. and Mrs. George Fish CT.
 In his address last night pr. Thack CT said in part:
 ''rhe worlds greatest Teacher said: one thing is needful' It is a comfort and an inspiration to us to hear Jesus say There is only one absolute neces- sity Christ is essential to the world. To take Christ to a lost world and to bring lost world to Christ-that is evangelism.
 "Evangelism is the fundamental duty of the church and the most sublime privilege and responsibility of every Christian. Personal evangelism counts most One great remedy for the inertia of the church, the shortage of the min stry the lack of results will be found in every Christian becoming a personal worker Let him that heareth say come This was largely the method of Christ. Let the minister who thinks that he is to be apt to teach, to in atruct and comfort Gods people know ttat in all this. he is doing the will. of God and that his work must not be neglected: but let him not forget that Christ seemed to lay hundredfold more stress upon winning one soul when He bids us leave the ninety and lnine, if necessary, and seek the lost till we find it.
