CHURCH SOLICITORS
DEFENCE COUNCIL TAKES MON
Ely AND BUSINESSES So
LICITORS.

Yankton, Oct. 25.-The council of
defense of this county yesterday dis
posed of a case against solicitors for
the Seventh Day Adventist church by
taking the money they had collected
from them and dismissing the solic-
itors.
Coupled with the regular mission
airy work of the Adventist church,
they have used in their canvass for
funds the statements that $4,000 of
the first moneys collected was to be
used in the construction of a hospital
in France fort he care OF wounded
soldiers. This makes their appeal
for funds a war relief work under the
statutes of this state passed at the
special session of last winter, and
forbidden except by special permit
and consent of the state council of
defense.
Something over 500 had been col
lected by the solicitors in this county
before they were appraised of the fact
that their work was against the rules
of the state authorities. This money
they readily turned over to the coun-
ell of defense for use in whatever
charitable channel that body desired.
1t was decided to forward the same
to the Minnesota forest fire sufferers
and with that end in view has now
been turned over to M. G. Jennings,
the federal representative of the
United States employment service.

lucky omen in the effects Of the bril-
liGut flash of lightning that struck the
immense flagpole on the New Orleans
customs house recently. The Flagstaff
was shattered and forty or fifty large
splinters were showered downward to
tie streets. but after the fireworks
were over, as on another occasion made
memorable by f. S. Key, ''our flag was
still there" In spite of the stroke Old
Glory is still flying over the customs
house.
