n STATEMENT AND HECOMNIEN
pATlONS on TIE PRESENT
RACIAL. CRISIS.

The recent race conflicts in some
OF our cities challenge the attention
of the Churches 6f Jesus Christ to
their responsibility respecting an
amicahlc and fair adjustment Of race
relations in America.
In the fellowship Of the Federal
Council of the Churches of Christ in
America are included 1859. 352 mem
hers OF the Negro churches. In speak
ing therefore III this time for human
ty and justice We voice the mind and
conscience of both races. The present
situation is a challenge to the
Churches charged with the Dromot-
ion Of the brotherhood of man, which
look upon all men as entitled to Il
lo"llnE OF equality of opportunity.
This calls for preaching the
duty of economic and com
munity Justice for the Negro
thus securing peace and goodwill he
tween the races. Beyond all else the
present situation calls for confession
on the part Of Christian men and wo
men OF failure to live up to the stand
ard OF universal brotherhood as taught
by Jesus Christ

TO } JUSTIFY ITSELF

In the adjustment Of race relations
our country has in this crisis nor
only ITS own conscience to Satisfy
nut also to Justify itself as Il nation
nelorc the enlightened opinion of
mankind. AS a foremost exponent OF
the ideals of democratic government.
the United States has been lifted to
the iull view Of the world. Our pres
cnt settlement therefore Of race rrla
tons will influence in very large
measure the settlement of race rcla
tons IN other parts Of the world.
We must face frankly the fact tina,
Il most dangerous intcr.racial situat
ION now threatens our country. The
problems growing ont Of the presence
OF two races in America are clearly
seen to he nat ion wide and the adjust
lnch'S must necessarily be made ON
TN" basis OF national responsibility.
lhc migration Of thousands Of Ne
ErocS to the North emphasizes this
Tact. The outbreaks in several cities
ana the persistence Of the anarchy
ana treason of lynch law imperil our
democracy.

RESIDENCE Ruilding Room.

The opening of spring finds more
residences under way than ever be-
fore in the towns history and there is
every indication that this is to be the
banner home building year for La
mar. The scarcity of houses and the
increase of population added to the
returning soldiers make a demand for
homes never known here before, and
there is every indication that there
will be building boom of sufficient
proportions to meet the emergency.
Several new building and loan associa-
tions are organizing local branches
here and offering very liberal terms
to builders, and this change in condi-
ton of the money market combined
with the great demand for houses and
advancing rents is causing all citizens
to begin to turn their spring time
thoughts to architects designs for
bungalows and garages and sich.

Court in Quandary.

Judge Hollenbeck was somewhat
stumped at the opening of court on
Wednesday to be faced by woman
with four children in the jury box. On
the tax rolls of the county the name
of A. +. Gordon appears, and the
county treasurer in pursuance of his
statutory duties certified the names
of several hundred taxpayers and that
name looked the same as any other
to him. 1t looked the same way to
the county commissioners when they
selected smaller list for the county
Jury list, and il still looked the same
when the district clerk and sheriff
drew it out of the jury box. But when
the name was called in court it prov
ed to belong to a lady, who appeared
in person and also in company with
four little Gordons. The Judge was
inclined at first TO break down all pre-
cedents and have the lady sit in the
regular panel, but then the question
entered of the county procuring
court bailiff, skilled in the art of herd
ing and looking after a drove of
children. He gave it up and the lady
returned home.

Pastures.

This is a growing stock country.
We have lots of pasture lands, and
these maintain large numbers Of
dairy cattle, range cattle and sheep.
However, especially in the irrigated
sections Of the county, and the heavy
seep districts. the grass is not very
nutritive. Is it not possible to replace
this seep grass or salt grass with
something that will carry more stock
per grazing unit? Perhaps red-top
or sweet clover or some other forage
plant can be substituted. at least under
some conditions to make an improve
ment.
II any one has done this successful
ly let's hear about it, SO that others
can have the benefit Of your expert
ence. There are some who are will
ing to try out some Of these grasses
under differing conditions, in an ex-
perimental way. Everyone who has
live stock should be interested. Talk
it over with the county agent, and
let's get something definite done along
this line this year.

Court Decision.

The decision of the supreme court
in the case of Hon. N. N. Mclean, the
famous Jamaica ginger case, was. we
are informed to the effect that the
jury in the lower Gaze was upheld in
finding that jamaica ginger is an in
toxicating liquor within the meaning
of the law, but as it was on sale gen.
orally and had been everywhere both
at drug stores and grocery stores, the
judges decided that it was unfair to
hold Mr.. Mclean personally for a
mistake which hundreds had been and
were making. Therefore the other
findings below were reversed and the
fine RENTED. II thus results in a
partial victory for both sides of the
controversy. but leaves no doubt as to
the future status OF jamaica ginger.

Robbery Saturday Night

On last Saturday night the drug
store of S. r. Woods just north Of
the railroad was broken open and near
ly one hundred dollars in cash taken
from the cash drawers. The loss was
not discovered until next morning and
the officers soon suspected two young
men, Cummings and Thorp, of being
the guilty parties. The latter left
town Saturday night but returned on
the Sunday afternoon train and on
being closely questioned broke down
and confessed that the robbery was
committed by the two Of them. He
plead guilty in Judge Horns court on
Monday and is now under parole.
Cummings was tried in the district
court and sentenced to serve term
in the reformatory.
