PRESIDENT DEFINES AMERICANISM IN HIS
 ADDRESS TO CADETS
(contlnued from Page one)

it be known that nobody who does not put America first, can consort with us But we ought to set them right by setting the example. We should set the objective by thinking American thoughts, by enter taining American purposes and those thoughts and purposes will stand the test of example emulatin ganywhere in the world, for they are intended for the betterment of mankind.
 "So I have come to say these few words to you today. gentlemen, for a double purpose First of all. to express my personal good wishes to you in your graduation and my personal interest in you and second of all, to remind you how we must all stand prudentially together in one spirit as lovers and servants of America.
 THE MONROE DOCTRINE
 And that means something more than lovers and servants merely of the United States You have heard of the Monroe doctrine, gentlemen. You know that we are already spiritual partners with both continents of this hemisphere and that America means something which is bigger even than the United States, and that we stand here with the glorious power Of this country ready to swing it out into the field of action whenever liberty and independence and political integrity are threatened anywhere in the western hemi- sphere.
 And we are ready-nobodv has au- thorized me to say this, but am sure of tive .are ready to join with the other nations of the world in seeing that the kind of justice prevails any where that we believe in.
 T am an American. but I do not be- iieve that any of us love a clustering nationality, nationality with chip on it's shoulder. a nationality with it's elbow, out, and it's swagger o3. We love that quiet, self-respecting uncon- querable spirit which does not strike until it is necessary to strike and then strike to conquer.

LETTER TO BOARDS

Montgomery, June Especial )-Chair- man Thomas w. Sims of the state board of equalization today addressed letter to the members of the various county boards of equalization calling their atten- tion to the provision of the new revenue act requiring all county boards to sit at the courthouse in their respective counties on the third Monday in June flor the purpose of hearing objections if any, to the assessments or valuations so fixed by said board" The boards are required to sit for at least one week, and as much longer as may be necessary, pro- vided they do not sit beyond the first day of August.
 In calling their attention to section v of the act, giving county boards the power to correct assessments, Chairman Sims declared that he interpreted that section as meaning that you may either raise or lower the values that were placed by you at the time of your viewing and inspecting the property"
 That is to say,' went on MT. Sims, 'the June session is held not necessarily for the purpose of reducing values to meet the objections of taxpayers. but when an objection is made, it becomes your duty to obtain all possible evidence and from the evidence determine 60 per cent of the reasonable cash value with out regard to whether the property is raised or lowered over your first value"

\ ccoRDING to the management

A CCORDING to the management "A of the Majestic theatre, the A picture, Where Are My Chil- dren?' is still attracting great crowds who are very much impressed with the forceful lesson depicted in this screen propaganda against child'ess mar riages.
 Where Are My Children" is a pie ture that portrays with great strength of purpose the tale of young matron whose desires run to social activities instead of the sterner duties of mother and the building of home life so necessary to successful marriage. The moral is drawn rather painfully, but nevertheless is emphatic
 There is much praise for this picture in various quarters. The clergy voices it's comments in various cities in fulsome praise of the sentiments brought out in Where Are My Chil- dren?" The medical fraternity also indorses the picture.
