INSTRUMENTATION IN SERMON

Speaking on 'Americanization,' the
Rev. E. L. Gates, pastor of the Third
NJ. E. church, in his sermon Sunday
night, spoke of the preamble of the
United States Constitution and urged
that justice be promoted in all Of the
states Of the union
He asked for the promotion of the
general welfare of the people, and the
abolishing of class distinction which
especially exists between capital and
labor. He declared it was not a mater
ial problem but a spiritual one.

merely a leaking valve.

The school board has planned for
a 10 months school only after very
careful consideration. The tendency
toward a longer session is pronounced
throughout the country. Beginning
Sept and closing June is it is
thought the hottest part of our wealth
err here will be entirely avoided. The
same requirement of open windows
when the weather permits will be IL
force next year as it has this year
The state child labor laws arc such
that but few children are able to en-
gage in gainful occupations during the
summer months Principally the
hoard is not unmindful of the crowd
ed condition of the school curriculum

which has been brought forcibly to
it's attention by many parents. There
is much merit in the contention that
too much work has been crowded into
our nine months school. This same
work extended over period of 10
months, with added attention given to
physical education, should prove to be
of distinct advantage.
with all the foregoing considera-
tions in mind, the board has been
faced with the money requirements of
the schools. The contemplated sal
airy schedule with other unavoidable
expenditures will very greatly in
crease the money needs of the schools.

 ichigan Boulevard opens to traffic Ext May. For 20 years the miles
 lakeshore drive, north, and Michi-
 an Boulevard, south, have been sep
 rated by a crooked, narrow passage lay, at the river, known as the bot

|Neraska Also is l Making Plans for
 l Industrial Court

Lincoln. Neb., April 3.-Creation |by future state legislature of an Iindustrial court to determine con- Etroversies between employers and [employes in any business or voca- [tion affected with public interest Twill be possible in Nebraska is a constitutional provision is adopted by the voters at special election next September 21.
 The proposal is one of about 40 other constitutional changes propos- ed by the states constitutional con- vention which has just practically finished up it's work of revising the existing constitution to meet the modern needs of the state. The in dustrial commission, under the pro- posal's terms, would also have power to enforce laws against "unfair busi- ness practices and unconscionable le gains affecting the public welfare" l Appeals to the supreme court from the commissions final orders would be provided.
 Other constitutional changes pro- posed by the convention for sub mission along with the industrial commission plan would accomplish the following:
 Make it possible for Nebraskans in the regular army to vote regardless of where they are stationed. Provide for election of supreme court judges by districts instead ot by the state at large.
 Empower the legislature to regu' late the minimum wage and hours of employment for women and chil dren.
 Require that common schoo branches in public. private, parochia and denominational schools be taugh be taught in the Enlgish language
 The language proposal is in lint with a law enacted by the last regu lar legislature designed to proven foreign language instruction from interfering with school children's regular course of study.

,rmer Gets But $5.S5 for Wool
 in Average Suit

lafayette, Ind, April 3.-The Indi- farmer receives $5.85 for the M in an average suit of clothes te enough for a man weighing
 pounds, according to Claude ,per, Purdue university sheep l:ialist. MT. Harper has issued ,tatement declaring farmers are
 profiteering in the sale of cloth IA man who weighs 175 pounds re-
 res 3 1-2 yards of cloth to make quit, the weight of the clothing
 ng from 10 to Is ounces per yard,"
 Harper's statement says. "The rage medium weight wool suit is
 de of goods weighing 14 ounces
 yard, At 3 1-2 yards per suit,
 cloth in the entire suit weighs ounces, or little more than three ands. In the manufacture of all sol cloth it requires 1 3-4 pounds \ ascourcd wool to produce pound # cloth.
 N NTherefore, considering waste in snufacturing, it requires about 62 Iices of secured wool for an aver e suit of clothes. Most of the 1n- gna secured wool is selling in Bos- a from SIPS to $1.44 per pound lis wool SCOUTS around 50 per cent ' grease and dirt. At $1 A per sSured pound, this makes wool !rth nine cents per ounce. As 62 Fhces are required for the entire sit, then the cost of wool in the Egt is S5.S5."
 EMr. Harper says that if a suit E made of the very best grade of Fol, which is selling at about $1.9O |r secured pound, then the wool in IS suit will cost $7.37. The cost | shipping, commission, etc, he de- Erred, is at least five cents per und, which is deducted from the eoducers' receipts. These suits.

RED CROSS DRIVE
STARTS FRIDAY
AMERICAN LEGION POST
WILL CONDUCT CAM
PAIGN HERE. 81
FOR MEMBERSHIPS
Drive Will be Launched Armis-
tice Day and Continue
Through Saturday-2,5OO
Members Is Goal.

A drive to secure new members, the
renewal of memberships, and cash do
nations to the Red Cross will be
started here on Armistice Day and
will continue up to and including Sat-
urday, November 18th.
This drive will be conducted BY ex-
service men, members Of the Ameri-
can Legion, who volunteered their
services for the work. Having OBJ
served at short range the wonderful
work of the Red Cross in camp and
hospital and upon the field Of battle,
the ex-service men are prepared to
enter heart and soul into the
movement.
The quota for Lowndes county the
coming year is $500 memberships at
one dollar each. Of this, one-haIf
goes to the general work Of the Red
Cross throughout the world, and the
residue is used for the relief Of dis
tress in our own county. In addition
to the $500 memberships, the officers
of the local chapter are asking for
cash donations Of $4,000.
The Red Cross asks no questions of
any man, woman or child in distress.
The color of the skin, past history,
future prospects, nothing intervenes
in its noble work. The only thing
necessary to secure aid from the Red
Cross is the need Of assistance.
1t is not necessary for The Dis
patch to urge its readers to respond
to this call. Past actions are an in
dex to future performances. Already
the work is the same as accomplished,
for our people havehearts, patriotism,
and the impeiihng motive to do their
part.
The president Of the local Red
Cross Chapter Is Mr.. w. N. Pickett.
Mr.. Frank p. Phillips Is chairman Of
the Civic Relief Department.
While this drive is supposed to be
started on Armistice Day, it is not
likely, because of the celebration on
Thursday, that actual work on the
drive will begin until Friday morning.

COBURN MINSTRELS
MAKE BIG HIT HERE

AS panacea to drive dull care
away, Charley Gano and his stiff of
brilliant artists in Coburn's Minstrels
are hard to beat.
Coburn's Minstrels was the opening
attraction of the theater season at the
Columbus Opera House on Monday
night, and the playhouse was filled
to capacity. Every seat in the house
was taken, and the s. r. o. sign was
flung out by Manager Locke early IN
the evening.
Scores of visitors from the sur
rounding towns Of Macon, Artesia,
Stsrkville, Mayhem, West Point, and
Aberdeen, came to Columbus for the
attraction, and the big audience that
filled the theater was more than
pleased with the performance.
For pep and ginger and action, the
Coburn Minstrel this season is in
class by itself. Mr.. Coburn has gath
cred together the greatest aggrega-
tion Of male voices ever heard in this
city. In Featheringill, Mr.. Coburn
has one Of the greatest bass voices
in America. He took the house by
storm Monday night with his won
derful voice.
Charley Gano, the king of black
face comedians, swept everything be-
fore him with his keen wit and high
class humor, and he ranks among the
foremost entertainers in the country.
To say the least, the Coburn Min
strels made decided hit on Monday
night and delighted the large audi
ence that greeted them.
The next attraction Is Buddies, Y
which is announced for next Monday
night.
