BEST AMERICAN
IS ONE WHO PRAYS
So Declares Evangelist Daisy
Barr at First NJ. E.
Church.

Never before i'm the history OF
the country has there been such a
need for real Americans as today. "
declared Mrs. Daisy Barr, evangelist,
at the First NJ. r. church last night.
And the better American is the
Christian American. The citizen who
prays, who has something of spir-
itual nature backing him is always
the stronger fighter, the better sup
porter OF the government, generally,
than the one who has nothing of
that sort 10 fall back on.
We talk OF need OF love Of home.
A love of state, Of institution and
of nation. But before we can sense
tn the highest value the real worth
OF any Of these. we must know and
be able 20 appreciate the love and
companionship of God
We need 10 get out and show our
cOlors and showing them. we should
put beside our allegiance 10 our ma
ton and To our belief or public
stand-our belief and infinite trust
and confidence in the Supreme
Power-GOd
A great many people say that
they do not like 20 say that they
are a Christian because they fear
that 10 viii seem like bOasting. There
is nothing of Boosting in a p fessiOn
of this kind. for If we all mad our
justice. none OF Us would be saved.
IL is "a great gift-a great pr hege.
but there are SO many of us who
do not half appreciate the greatness
OF IL.
There are 80 many. many differ
emf kinds OF hearts disease. But

What are we going TO do with

for which we paid the old prices
several months ago?
Can a separate company be
formed to take care of carrying the

dence. SO that We Will not have to
bear that expense?
What are we going to do about
the embargoes that stop our ship
ments every two or three days en-

How are We going TO provide

If not impossible 20 burn soft coal2'
Up To WooIIen.
These were only A few of the
questions asked by the coal men Of
Mr.. Hardy and will be put up 10
Mr.. WOollen next week ny the To-
cal dealers.
IL was agreed that many towns
outside Of St Joseph county which
have been purchasing coal from To-
cal men would not be supplied
when towns and cities OF this cOun-
sefr 70
Walter Miller stated that the To-
cal dealers were confronted with
bribery every day by citizens who
were willing 20 pay most any price
for coal. thinking that the dealers
were holding up shipments and or
ders. River Park people were es-
pecially cited as those greatly in
need of coal and willing TO pay 81
more per ton than the dealers ask
ed.
1t seems that one reason for the
shortage is the recent ruling OF the
government lowering the price al
the mines S1.20. thereby smashing
the business OF wagon bank oper-
ators who hauled great quantities
OF coal wherever mines were To-
Gated. and disposed OF the fuel in
short fashion 20 the dealers and
consumers. These men have been
forced out OF business BY the new
government ruling.
The South Bend dealers are ad-
vocating the establishment Of a CO.
operative concern in this city q
carry coal from the curbing 10 the
residence. The dealers are obliged
10 pay the men more who do this
and have charged so cents per tor
heretofore. The government, how
ever. announces that this charge d:
excessive and is abolished.
