DECIDED STAND AGAINST
LIQUOR


Declaring that the saloon question
is no longer a personal liberty ques-
ton but an economic one, about 60
members of the Church club Of the
Episcopal church at the regular din
ner Wednesday night in Epiphany
church, Detroit, passed a resolution
demanding that the diocese of Michi-
gan take decided stand against the
liquor interests.
Members of the club said that by
its neutral position the denomination
had gained the soubriquet of the
"booze church"
If the Michigan diocese turns from
its historic attitude and aligns itself
with the drys it will be the third
diocese out of about $50 in the United
States to take such action. New
York and. Chicago are the others.
The resolution is as follows
whereas, 1t is the sense of this
meeting of the church club of the do
cese of Michigan that our church
should no longer defer taking a Geo.
nomic stand on the moral and liquor
problem; therefore be it resolved that
this meeting memorabilia the coming
convention of the diocese to take de-
cided stand against the liquor traffic

those who are working to overthrow

REANs VALUABLE CROP

Bean experts all over the country
are advising farmers to plant liberal

porting something like three millions
Of bushels of beans from Europe, but
since the war broke out this condi-
ton has been reversed and now Eu-
rope is taking this quantity from this
side of the water AS there is no
chance for Europe to again export
beans for some years perhaps the
present year seems to be an oppor-
tune time for the farmers here to
make come good money out of this
staple food crop. None of the bean
experts predict that the value of the
beans next year will fall below the
three and four dollar mark. Beans
at this price are certainly very pro-
fitable crop for the farmer to raise in

"The price Of gasoline seems to DE

country as before, perhaps also by the
cities and towns, but the seasoned us
ers Of automobiles are not running
them quite so much as formally. New
buyers of pleasure cars enjoy the nov

course, there will be as many new
buyers. The demand from farmers
for automobiles is Unsuitable.
prospecting activity in new oil

refining and the scramble Of inventors
for substitutes tend to hold. down the
price of gasoline, but in my opinion
the price is reasonable, and the public
has become accustomed to it. There

the country's general prosperity and
increasing want, if not needed, OF
gasoline and motor spirits"
