The Near East Relief

Many people are confused
over the relation of Herbert
Hoover's European Relief
Council and the Near East Re-
lief, says Rev. Luther Benson
of Willmar. Briefly, the two
have no connection. The
Hoover Relief operates in Gen.
trail Europe while the Near
East Relief operates in Asia
Minor. Hoover's plan as pub
licly stated by him, is to raise
money to feed the undernour-
ished children of Central Eur
ope one meal a day, feeding
them in their own homes,
school houses, or other conven-
lent places. His territory does
not include any part of Asia
Minor or overlap any of the
work of the Near East Relief.
Rev. Benson has charge of the
Near East Relief fund gather
ing in Kandiyohi county.

A Christmas Greeting

Rapidly we approach the
time celebrated as the anniver-
sary of the greatest event in
history, the time when Christ
brot life and love to earth and
hope to men. The spirit of
Christmas prompts a friendly
greeting, since l covet the
pleasure of assuring my parish
toner's and the people of Will
mar of genuine solicitation
fer their abiding joy and in
creased usefulness to our fel-
loWmen.
This is beyond all others the
one season of the year when
we rise above our annoying
cares, petty absorbing inter-
ests and live in a higher alti-
tude and SUMMER climate. AS
we allow our lives to be in1u-
enced, guided and transform
ed by the thot associations of
this greatest of all blessings
and incorporate into life the
aspirations of this holy and
happy holiday season it will
bring the rarest, ever deepen
ing JOY and the sweet, whole
some assurance of sustaining
strength in the sharing of our
bounties with others.
The whole world pins it's
faith to Christmas. How it's
pulse quickens! Its heart beats
faster and it's entire soul is
bouyed up with that feeling of
ineffable peace which is our
heritage. May therefore good
comradeship reign. Let good
cheer radiate everywhere. Give
generously of the bounties God
has so richly bestowed upon
you. In no other way can we
fittingly pay tribute to Him,
whose birthday we commemor-
ate. Never before perhaps has
the world presented such dire,
CHASTITY and despairing needs
or opportunities so unparallel-
ed for disinterested service and
generous giving as today.
| Having given cheerfully Of
your bounties, of your friend
ship, of your affections, of
yourself, however small it may
seem to you, may you receive
life's best treasures and choic-
est. gifts, tender memories, the
joy of strengthened friend
ship, enriched personality and
an unclouded vision. May your
sorrows be turned into songs,
your griefs into graces, your
toll into triumph. I wish you
a Merry Christmas.
Ernest A. Lagerstrom,
Pastor of the First Baptist
Church.

New Jersey has made the startling
discovery that many persons who are
mentally deficient are driving motor
about the roads and thorough

when IL is considered that New
Jerseys method of examining appli-
cants for drivers licenses ranks in
stringency with any in the United
States" says George r. Duren, in the
May issue OF MOTOR, at can easily
be imagined how many persons men,
tally unf1t for the responsibility are

PREDICTS NEW
LABOR PARTY
Fitzpatrick Sees First Steps
Toward Organization Before
End of This Year.
BY MILDRED MORRIS.
International News Service.

MONTREAL. Quebec, June 12.-
Supporters of the movement for a
labor party in politics are making all
possible capital out of developments
at the Chicago convention, which they
term a ''turn-down" for President
Samuel Gompers, of the American
Federation of Labor.
John Fitzpatrick. leader of the
movement. predicted today that, be-
fore the end of the year, the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor will be COM
PEELED to take steps to organize a
national labor party.
1t is evident Gompers is counting
upon the influence of William Jen-
nings Bryan to get satisfactory la
Dor plank into the Democratic plat
form at San Francisco. Belief is ex-
pressed in some quarters that If the
Democrats do not insert a platform
that meets the wishes of organized
labor Gompers will have to withdraw
his opposition to the formation of a
labor party.

Joseph M. Sanders in Nominating
Speech Calls State Rich in
Great Men.

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE speech OF
Joseph NJ. Sanders, OF West Virginia,
placing in nomination Senator How
ard Sutherland, Of West Virginia, for
President, follows:
''West Virginia is not a sectional
State. Her geographical location is
such that she can not be said to be
particularly identified as a Southern,
Northern, Eastern or Western State
She was born into Statehood because
she strongly opposed secession and
stood for the preservation OF the
Union and the Stars and Stripes, pur-
chased by the blood OF our ancestors.
at is said that West Virginia is
too small from which to select a
candidate for President. While IL Is
true that she is small in area, yet in
wealth and in strong men she is i'm
mensely rich. In selecting a candidate
for the high office of President we
should not measure his worth and
fitness by the size of his State.
West Virginia is a dutiful State.
When the declaration OF the world war
came she cheerfully and speedily re-
sponded to the call by furnishing her
men, women and money and firmly
took her stand among the States of
the nation in prosecuting the war. On
all great public questions she has bee n
found to take a prominent and cor.
rect position.
West Virginia takes pride in the
Hon Howard Sutherland and his
name is hereby presented to the con-
vention as a candidate for the Repub-
lican nomination for the Preside ncy
OF the United States"
