Churches

Full Attendance Marks First Regular
Day of Services Held In City Since
October 8-Hoover Message on
Food Conservation Read.

For the first time since the in
f1uenza closing ban was made effec-
tive on October 8, Sunday services
were held in the churches of Grand
Forks yesterday and last night, and
attendance was in many instances
said be unusually heavy.
The churches have been vacant and
closed for the past v Sundays, and
when the congregations gathered yes
uine gratitude that the epidemic had
so abated thai public worship could
be resumed. The most intense thank
fitness was, however, expressed be-
cause the war had ended and in the
sermons preached yesterday many
ministers made reference to the armi-
stice and the significance of 1T.
The keynote of several sermons was
that a new day was about to dawn
upon the world. and that a new re-
ugion of brotherhood among men was
Of the conflict just ended. One min
lister, in discussing this phase. said
that the existing UNCONVENTIONAL sys-
tens might not collapse-and that
such collapse was not looked for-but
would undoubtedly form the firm
foundation Of the world b~rotherhood's
future faith.
Other ministers pointed out that
great spiritual changes had been
wrought in consequence of the war,
and that no matter how remote a
place might be from the centers OF
the tremendous events, it was certain
to feel the very direct and decisive
effect Of tn new volution which is
becoming the standard of moral life
in the future.
In all the churches a message from
Food Administration Herbert Hoover
urging continued conservation of food
was read to the congregation.

some value in giving us a good feel

they may be used, under public own

Most complicated troubles may

use Of the money. With the proposed
suggestion mines, railroads, ships.
electric and gas plants, waterworks,
and many other properties essential
to the common interest of a nation
shall be transferred to the national
ownership, not to say Of the national
ization Of land, and they shall be
equally compensated for, as for the
confiscation Of money and several
bonds with a kind Of registration
which should have the characteristic
of temporary transitional means until
an improved feature makes it's. APP
pearance in a new society.
In other regards individuals may be
permitted to retain their W prop
erty, personal and real, and maintain
their professions or occupations.
Transactions shall be carried on by
the exchange of kind in kind, or bar
ter. But as barter is too inconvenient
to be enforced, a ticket system may
be taken for the remedy Of this de-
feet. AS has been stated, Jul ideal
disuse of the money does not admit
any accumulation Of wealth, and SO
the tickets shall be given each a err
tain period of time, say ten, twenty,
thirty years or more, during which
they can be in use, and after which
their circulation leases.
When this is accomplished, there
can be no more complaints, no more
dissatisfaction, no more contradic-
tons, and no more misunderstand-
ings, and the world will be reorgan-
lied into a paradise oftnpeace.-Sei-

Would Abolish Money
japanese Prescription for Bringing in
q Paradise of Peace.


We will make here a suggestion
which furnishes us a method to pre-
vent the appearance of the rich, and
avert the consequent result of the diff
ference between rich and poor. The
suggestion consists of the entire dis
use of the money over the world, in
order to give the struggle for exis-
tence a check, to make way with the
difference of rich and poor, and thus
to promote peace and equality in the
public life Of mankind.
1t is through the medium Of the
money that wealth is accumulated,
and the accumulation entails the diff
ference Of rich and poor, with it's re-
sultant struggle for existence.
This state Of things is most unde-
sirable. The end Of mankind is not
to be proud of individual talent or
ability, but to co-enjoy the peace in
the world, just as in a family, and any
cause which brings about any in
equality in public life must be radi-
cally eliminated. 1t is for this rea-
son that we dare to suggest the dis
use of the money to prevent the diff
ference of rich and poor.
What crafty fellow ever introduced
the money for use in human life? OF
course, naturalization of various val
uables. such as gold, silver, jewels,
ETC., shall be implied in the disuse of
the money and their ownership by in
dividuals be prohibited. Such VAL
tables retain their values only when
they are used as a means of Unequal
ity, but will be nothing more than

DECISION FOR
TAX EXEMPTION
IS REVERSED
Supreme Court DEGREES the
Cereal Company Must
Pay Back Taxes.

The decision Of the district court of
Grand Forks county, which held that
the state could not collect $4,000 in
back taxes from the Cream of Wheat
company, was reversed by the state
supreme court on Saturday, according
to communication received this
morning by o. B. Burtness.
The contention of the state tax COM
mission, as ~inaugurated within the
past two ear by George E. Wallace,
who was a member of the tax COM
mission, was to the effect that the
Cream of Wheat company owed to
the state approximately 100000 In
back taxes on intangible assets aggre-
eating s350,000 which, it was con-
tended, represented the difference be-
tween the capital stock of the Cream
Of Wheat company and it's assessable
property.
The suit involved the amount fol
taxes for the years 1908 to 1914, in
elusive, which amounted to $22,343
and in addition to this sum-, interest
and penalty for failure to pay back
taxes after March, 1915. On Novem.

As to the Poultry Situation.

There mas been considerable
confusion throughout North Car.
'olina, as Il result of the publish
ed order of the Food Admins.
tration affecting the trade in liw
and freshly dressed hens and pull
let's. According to Food Admin.
istlator Henry A. Page, the Or
der does not affect local trade in
North Carolina, since it applies
only to licensed dealers, princi-
pally tLecold storage concerns.
Every owner of a flock of poul.
try is Icing urged as q patriotic
duty to refrain from selling for
slaughter any hens or pullets.
Every Len that is sold before the
LIST OF May will represent a fo' d
loss to the nation of an avera. e
OF not less than thirty eggs. ii
the average number of hens ard
puIlets usually sold from Feb. l
to May l is sold this year it will
cause an aggregate loss of 150,-
600, 900 eggs. The value OF these
eggs is so per cent to 100 per
cent of the actual value of the
hens. The program being urged
by the Food administration and
the department OF Agriculture
will not entail a loss to the far
mer but an actual gain.
Tie cooperation OF all consu'
mels of poultry products is also
requested. They are asked to
forego Ithe use of fowls on Their
table during the next few weeks
except male stock.
