Many splendid school district rallie,
are being held in the county prepara-
tory to the annual county rally, which
occurs Saturday, May 81, on the nor
NAL school grounds.
Albion led the list with such fine

we'll be proud Of the work shown that

Monango, Friday, May 6. Much ex-
cellent work was shown from the dif.
ferent schools, there were many con-
testants and a large crowd was pres.
ent to enjoy the festivities. The Jane.
River Valley rally occurred the same
day at Glover. Two very pretty May
pole drills added to the interest Of the
occasion and unusually splendid con-
tests did credit to all concerned.
The ladies in all cases brought sub
SIantlaI iuncneS, winch naturally add

of the schools.

Banquet for School Board

The members Of the advanced cook

partment killed two birds with one
stone last Thursday evening. They
gained the actual practice in cooking
and properly serving a formal banquet
that is called for by the course Of
study, and at the same time proved to
the board Of education that in at least
that department the Oakes school dis
trict is getting most commendable re-
suits in return for the money spent
in running the school.
From the fruit cocktail on through
the soup, meat, salad, and other
courses down to the final delectable
concoction of-well, it can't be de-
scribed-which found even such men

give up, SO full that they could only
chew, but not swallow another bite,
the meal was deliciously cooked and
served without Q hitch or delay.
At the close Of the meal those who
were able to stand at all gave Miss
Craig and the girls Of the class a ris-
ing vote Of thanks and appreciation.

exonerated, would not only be a great injustice to hin but
would sacrifice him. Net to retain him would accomplish the
very thing which the charges made against him were intended
to accomplish.
If Chancellor Powers was qualified last year, certainly he is
mo less so today; and there is nothing against him because the
trustees by their acts have said there was not. Unquestionably
he has greatly popularized the University. 1t has had its great
est success under his administration. His experience qualities
him for better service the next session. There is always a big
risk to run in swapping leaders, and to make a bad swap now,
would hamstring the University for years.
A fair-minded public and the sober, seasoned thought of
Mississippi says to the Trustees, stand squarely by your verdict
of exoneration and re-elect MI. Powers.

JAPANESE QUESTION-OUR
NATIONAL DISGRACE

The dog in the Manager or the story
of Nabotn's vineyard had nothing on
the shame of a few politicians and
a few labor leaders, or even a greater
number Of laborers too lazy to work,
in the present day history of our
country. 1t is amazing that you hear
of the yellow Peril" in California or
elsewhere on the Pacific coast when
everybody admits that it is the ener-
getic and frugal Jap who has largely
mace that country what it is.
Very recently, we regret to say,
two families Of Japanese, who had
bought land in good faith and come
to make their future homes in one of
the South Texas counties, were intim-
idated by q lot of irresponsible hood
huns and DULLES, with perhaps a few
well-meaning but misguided good
men, to such an extent that they
feared to leave the hotel at which
they had taken temporary shelter.
Is this the spirit of Christian toll
erance and brotherly love which we
have swelled up about in telling Of
our free country as an asylum for the
oppressed or for those who would
better their condition by leaving the
o~vercrowded sections of the old world
or for those who seek a refuge from
persecution either for the sake of
their religion OF their politics?

ticipated about the negroes. Many
sections in West Texas, it is a ON
mon saying that ga niger must not
let the sun go down on him here:''
We wonder what would happen to
men who would give utterance TO
such a threat in the Mississippi Delta!
The authors Of outrages against
negroes of the sentiment against the
Japs, who make the best citizens and
develop a country faster than any
other race, as a rule a give no def
mite objection to either the negro Or
the Jap. In fact, it is the i~lliteratc
white trash, and that more often from
the Northern States, who are fore
most in such senseless, unfair and
un just prejudice against any race.
IF this editor understands the con-
~stitution of the United States at all,
it guarantees freedom and justice to
every race and every creed.
We will go further: We hold no
brief for either the Jap or anyone
else, but will say that this country
would be well rid of ninety per cent
of those who object to the presence
of either +he Jap or the negro. We
have among US many of the white
race loudest-mouthed against others
of whom we would be fortunate to be
rid Of, even at considerable cost to
the communities on which they are
a liability.-Dallas (Tex.) Oil and

WHY THE DEARTH OF MINISTER'S?

The News Scimitar is authority for the statement credited
to Rev. William D. Brown of the Reformed Church of America
pastors, with the prospect of only 1,45o" young men graduating
this year from theological schools.
The News Scimitar further observes:
"This situation is entitled to more than facetious reference.
Why are not more men going into the ministry? Why is it that
the country is suffering from overproduction, an excess of labor
and an abundant supply of all things material but does not keep
pace in the production of ministers to look after the spiritual
needs of the community?
Once there was an assumption that the ministers were
called OF God. There have been individual examples that the
lay mind presumes were not in keeping with the accepted
theory. Notwithstanding the more or less spectacular examples
to the contrary, the original assumption still exists. 1t is not
presumed that fewer men are called, but that there is a growing
tendency to refuse to yield to the call. The farm and the vii
|lage provide 70 per cent of the ministers and the larger towns
and cities 80 per cent.
Somewhere there's an adequate reason for the discrepancy.
Somewhere there is a rational excuse for the falling off in the
production OF minister's. At one time the minister was the
leader of his flock and a leader in the community. His activity
is being more and more circumscribed. Some men would rather
refuse to hear the voice of the Lord calling them into service
than to be directed and dominated by a congregation that pre-
scribes the manner of service they shall render.
There was a time when the minister struck out boldly and
fearleSSly, but that time seems to have passed. The modern
conception of the successful minister seems to be that he shall
cater to the influential element of his congregation and rely
upon the wealth and social position of the few to sustain him in
his undertakings"
- So "n2r->

himself positively about is the Ten Commandments.

taken by the Germans. Well, according to Harveys own words,
his closest relatives during the Civil War were so frightened
by the Confederates that some of them found their only safety
in jail.
