NITRATE TO BE TAKEN

"Please tell the people that no
more orders for government nitrate
will be received" was the request
made of the Times-Recorder today
by W. T. Lane, Jr., who has been
assisting County Agent Marshall all

of farmers had given orders for nj
trate failed to take it when the last

barrassment for the men handling it
and considerable effort to dispose of
it without waste and tying up cars.

king and queen of Belgium as guests
today saw the devastation visited up

BRYAN TO DENY
LABOR STANDS
FOR WET NATION

In the First Baptist church tomor-
row afternoon William Jennings
Bryan, thrice presidential candidate
and former secretary of state, will
speak in behalf of prohibition, war
time, constitutional and world wide.
He will urge that wartime drouth be
kept unimpaired, with no exemptions
for beer and wine, and strengthened
so that violation of it will not be
healthful for the violator. He also
will insist that congress and the
states shall back up constitutional
prohibition, effective January lG,
next, by enactments calculated to
make prohibition prohibit.
This is the announcement of j. H.
Larimore, Columbus, o., newspaper
man who is in Georgia OF publicity
mission. Mr., Bryan, he said, is ex-
pected to say that in spite Of the 1T
terances of Samuel Gon,rers and the
aition of the Federation of Labor at
Atlantic City the other day, labor is
not against prohibition. Further, he
will assert that the wet stories about
how the soldiers are against prohibi-
ton are untrue, and that, on the con-
trary, the majority of the men wear
ing Uncle Sans Uniform are against
the liquor traffic.
Mr.. Bryan still further will preach
the new doctrine of world prohibi-
ton, declaring that even dry United
States and Canada will not oe safe
from the designs of the liquor men
unless other nations also Danish in
toxicants as beverages.
For World League.
But he will depart from the proEi-
bition topic long enough to give
strong endorsement to the proposed
League of Nations, and will say that
unless that matter is settled now it
will bob up as the leading issue in
the presidential campaign of 1920.
With Mr.. Bryan will come Rev.
Howard H. Russell, of Westerville,
O., founder of the Anti-Salo6n of
America, and recently was elected
one of the four presidents of the
World League Against Alcoholism.

Besides the special courses of lee lures, the Church Workers Confer ences included discussion on Prayer Book Revision, the New Hymnal, the Missionary system of the Church What is the Matter with Many Church People? (by Dean Christian) Congregational Singing, the Church's Call to Service of Young Men and Young Women, and Mems Organized Work in the Church.
 In his lectures on Reconstruction ' Dean Quainton of Victoria, said: There must be a return to the main roads of Christian thinking and living Few, simple, and deep are the truths by which men live. Give them a few simple doctrines of service to their fellow-men and their country and of righteousness toward God putting the proper emphasis on Christ as the citadel of our religion The Western world which prided itself on it's sufficiency, has become grossly utilitarism. It is due for an awakening, and in theo logical reconstruction the new psy chology will enable us to present the old truth in a garb that comments itself to the honest modern mind"
 Discussing the Church's contribu ton to social reconstruction, Dean Quainton said: '"The social problem is moral problem. Industrial in justice, profiteering and the like spring from bad morals. And here he humble parson in a quiet way can do as much for social uplift as the man who pilots measures through the legislature"
 Dr. John w. Wood, just returned from the Orient, declared that Chris tianity has it's greatest opportunity in Japan at the present time, before the thought and life of the people become saturated with materialism'

HICKMAN TOUR OF ALASKA IS
 ALL POLITICAL
Ketchikan Politician Capi. taIist Is Out to Organize the Territory for
 Himself

KETCHIKAN, July 1-To his no secret of the fact that the trip he has started upon throughout Alas ka is strictly for politics. It is ad mitted that Senator Hickman wants to be Republican National Commit teeman or Delegate to Congress. It Is said he will decide which after his return from the proposed visit to the other three divisions. It is be lieved here that he will try to make alliances wherever possible that will
 count most for himself
 One element of the Wickersham supporters is endeavoring to make a trade with the Ketchikan capitalist and acknowledged representative of the cannery interests in the last three Legislatures, offering him sup port as National Committeeman in exchange for support for Dan Suth erland, self-proclaimcd opponent of all things capitalistic, for the Dele gateship. The willy politician capi- talist is said not to be turning down any offer for support for anything from any source.
 Senator Heckman's well-known pen chant to get support for himself from any source that is available was illustrated by his conduct in the late election contest Shortly after the nomination of J. l.. Jones for Dele gate to Congress by the Ketchikan fishermen, Senator Heckman was emphatic in his declaration that he would support George B. Grigsby, the Democratic nominee for Delegate "Tm against Socialism, wherever l find it," he announced, and he prom ised many Democratic leaders that he would do all in his power to boost MT. Grigsby and that he would vote for him. When 1t became evident that Jones was not only getting the support of the laboring voters at Ketchikan, but that the Wickersham ties were lining up behind him all over the Territory, Senator Heckman right about faced, and went out on Jnc SITctlS duu hlo hCou Oi for Jones. He was one of the prin cipal Jones shouters on election day and for several days before the vot ing.
 It is true that Senator Heckmap gave as his reason the changing front on the Jones candidacy the circum stance that former Representative Shoup had been succeeded as super intendent of the Pioneers Home at Sitka. But he knew at the time he promised to support Grigsby that the Sitka change was going to be made It is believed here that the real req son behind his about face was to carry favor with the labor vote ol Ketchikan on one hand and on the other, and more particularly, to pre- vent the alienation of the Wicker shamites.
