State and Federal Authori-
ties Are to Cooperate,

Officials Of the federal government
in Oklahoma City are ready 10 take
over the duties previously incumbent
on state officials OF prosecuting SELL
ers and manufacturers OF intoxicating
liquors, now lha, the wartime ptohl-
bitiou ac' is effective John A Fam,

Special Agents Expected.
Fam i, expecting soon force OF
,pecial agents assigned TO this district
by the government He anticipates
,ha, difficulties experienced in locali-
'Ies where prohibition has never been
in force will no, be experienced here.
and that his office will be amply
equipped 70 fight law breakers. The
department OF internal revenue will
rcdouble IT'S campaign against noon
shining in the state and will cooper
ate with other federal agents.
In the past h,c federal government
has only been concerned with inter-
state shipments OF Intoxicating liquors
from a wet state ia a dry state. FANS
office and the bureau of investigation
under James Findlay have been active
in this work for some time.
How Law Reads.
Parts Of the new law read: 1T shall
be unlawful to sell for beverage pur-
poses any distilled spirits no distilled
spirits held in bond shall he removed
,hereirom for beverage purposes ex-
eept for export
AFTER May |, 1919. until comple,s
deniobilixation is accomplished m
grains, cereals, fruit, or food pfodues
shall be used in making beer or wine
or any NAL, OF vinous liquors.
After June 80 until complete de-
mobilization is accomplished no beer
wine or other Intoxicating malt or
vinou, liquor shall be sold except for
export"
Although the new law makes en-.
iorcement OF prohibition laws fall al
most exclusively on the federal gov
eminent, 1t is said the machinery OF
the state for putting down the liquor
traffic will still be maintained and tho
two forces will cooperate.

CONVOCATION IS
AN INSPIRING ONE
CONTINUED from page onel

of the meeting shows its vast expanse.
Some of the topics presented relate to
the religion of Jesus as contrasted with
that of the prophets the religion of the
New Testament, with the additions to
it by Paul, Peter and John; religious
education in Vermont; three addresses
on that theme, three vigorous lectures
on the sermon, its significance, basis,
and measure; American Professionalism
its line of advance; how to interest
churches in missions, This is strong
meat and few there are who can digest
it. In fact it is not expected or in
tended to be digested at the convention
but to be worked out at home through
the whole year.
Two great addresses have been de-
livered at the local church during the
week, the first by Dean Brown, Tues
day night, on "The Church and Social
Rebuilding" and Wednesday night by
DR.. Hume of India, on Christian Inter
nationalism" which was really an ad-
dress on Foreign Mission These adj
dresses drew large audiences and were
of the first order of merit Some of
the most interesting occasions of the
convocation were the closing moments
of each lecture period, when opportun-
ity was given for questions from the
floor At such times it was often APP
parent that the hearers were not pre-
pared to accept all the conclusions of
their instructors without question, and
much good natured criticism was often
INDUCED in.
The value of such a convocation for
the clergy of the state is incalculable.
These men, more than 100 in number,
will go to their homes to kindfe new
moral fires and to replenish old ones
every where and the whole state will
be benefited thereby.
