alongside of these was a like quantity
belonging to a Minnesota grower. who
was barred from the regular compe-
tltion because he was at one time the
winner OF the trophy-the prize. The
three entries were side by side on the
judges bench. 1t would not be pos
slble to bring together three more
likely samples. The Montana and
Saskatchewan entries were of equal
weight-5O pounds to the bushel. The
Minnesota sample was some three
pounds lighter. The award was
unanimous In favor Of the Saskatche-
wan oats. A remarkable feature and
one greatly to the credit of the Ca
madam product was that the oats,

by those who had competed during
the past two years, winning on each
occasion. This, the third winning.

There was much discussion in At

several clergymen Sunday on munich

BAPTIST Church, argued that Chris

fecting corruption and laWlessness Of
great cities and he favored the or
ganization of such a body in Atlanta
which would have the true interests
of the city at heart
The Rev. Allen c. Shuler severely
criticized the Citizens League.
In speaking of the form of citizens
league which he thinks advisable for
Atlanta. DR.. White said.
Expects Christian Citizenship.
Il expect to see in Atlanta a Citi-
Zens' league that will raise and keep

against whatever preys on life It
will proclaim that every good citi-
zen shall contribute something of
value to life and all traffic that puts
money above manhood shall be con-
demued 1t win not be hysterical
but very calm As to laws, it will be
simply honest and not semi-honest
1t will leave the judiciary to contrue
the law and not the law-breaker 1t
V ould ask the men to be just Chris
tian in their citizenship,
The Rev Mr. Shuier, in speaking
of the Citizens League. said: The
Citizens League seems to forget that
Protestant Christianity is united in
Atlanta as never before.
Dr. caleb A Ridley, at the Central
Baptist Church Sunday declared
himself to be an uncompromising foe
of locker clubs He said a locker clubs
very existence rendered impossible
fair and practical enforcement of the
liquor laws and such clubs and near
beer saloons should be got rid of in
some way.
Reso utions Not the Way.
There are better ways OF elml-
mating this evil than by church dis
cipline by resolutions" said Or. Rid
ley. Resolutions may do some good
but they also win prejudice undulH
