S. NJ. Harris, who is an assistant
claim adjuster of the National Life In
surance Company OF the t. S. of A.,
and who for the past three years has
been serving as one of the clerks and
also prayer-meeting leader of Olivet
Baptist Church, has returned to Bethel
A. NJ. E. church, where his services
are much more needed at this time of
church disturbances than they are at
Olivet church. Brother Harris as we
all know is very broad in his christian
profession and states that he is per-
fectly willing to render services for
God in any church which stands for
regeneration and the baptism of the
Holy Ghost. He does not believe in
the denominational divisions as they
now exist, which seems to hinder the
true christian spirit from cementing
in the hearts of the followers of Christ
He further believes that there are only
two denominations, one is the denom-
nation of right and the other the
denomination of wrong He further
desires to make known that he is not
leaving Oliyet church because of any
fault finding, but rather because he
feels that his services for God and the
church are much more needed in
Bethel at this time than they are in
Oliyet Baptist church which is over
run with competent workers. Brother
Harris comes we'll recommended from
Oliyet Baptist church for faithful ser
vice rendered and Bethel church well
comes his return.

The word "southpaw," used fire.
quently in the course OF references to
baseball games, is a bit Of slang which
which has crept into the language dur
ing the last few years. c0lloquialism

That the batter may not have 10
face the rays of the setting sun at
any time of the year. baseball dia-
mond is usually laid out so that the
batter's box faces due east The
pitcher, therefore, faces westward,
while his right hand Is toward the
north and his left hand is toward the
south. As the majority OF pitchers
are right-handed, 1t was only natural
that an exception to this rule should
be singled out for certain specific
title-and the name "southpaw' was
adopted on account OF the usual
points OF the compass In connection
with the diamond itself. The eccen-
tricities of Rube waddell and other
asouthpaws" have made the name
synonymous with 'erratic." 30 far as
baseball language Is concerned.
though there is no medical support for
the theory that left-handed persons
are more peculiar than those who use
their right hands.

MANY DIFFERENT OPINIONS
Republican Senator, Talking Before
Southern Protsetionlsts, Declares
Reserve System "Enslavlns
the People,"

Greensboro, N. C.-Forty-three bill
lion dollars has been lost by the peo-
pie of the United States because OF
unnatural deflation forced through"
Senator e. +. Ladd, republican, Of
North Dakota, declared in an address
before the opening session of the
Southern Tariff Congress.
Basing his figures on recent testi-
mony OF John Shelton Williams, for
mer comptroller of the currency, but
not giving Gov. Harding's REPUTATION
OF those figures, Senator Laid said
the nation Ifs indebted to Mr.. Will
liams for enlightening 1t as to the
workings Of the federal reserve sys-
to mas now carried out by seven men
who have the power to initiate and
contract without regard to the gov
eminent"
I'VE have recently witnessed the
methods pursued under the guidance
Of these uncontrolled guardians Of our
money for further enslavipg the peo-
pie of our country" the speaker said.
Having inflated the currency until
the dollar is worth about 40 cents,
the government proceeds to borrow
s24,0O0,00O, 900 to help pay the ex-
penses of great world war. The
real value OF these dollars was not to
exceed $4,000, 100000 in the purchas-
ing power under normal conditions.
THE same seven men proceeded to
debate the purchasing power of the
dollar, and now the government will
have to liquidate that debt; that is,
the common people, the real workers
of the land, will pay for the most of
II on a basis representing the value of
$4,000, 100000 when expressed in
terms of agricultural products"
Referring to the tariff. Senator
Ladd advocated an alliance between
the south and west to prevent the
farmers from becoming the prey OF
the great manufacturing centers."
The farmer is not justified, he said,
"in remaining silent under the treat
ment which affords 10 per cent pro-
lection on raw hides and then gives
$50 per cent protection on leather
products, so hidden that the average
person does not know what is the
trouble"
In the Fordney tariff bill, Senator
Ladd said, "a sop is thrown" which,
II accepted, wiz plunge the farmeres
more deeply into debt than ever be-
fore. He said the bill did not afford
adequate protection either to the
stock man, the sheep industry, the
grain grower or to the agricultural
products Of the south.

Paris.-The lifting of the economic

providing Germany pays up THE sums
she undertook to pay under the Lon.
don ultimatum and agrees to remove
the boycott against French goods, was
decided upon at the final session Of
the allied supreme council. II was de-
cided, however, to maintain the occu-
patton of Ruhrort, Duisburg and Dus-
seldorf until the next meeting Of the
council, which 1t is understood will be
held previous to the Washington arma-
ment conference. At that time, Pre-
mier BRAND consented, the question Of
the occupation Of the right bank Of the
Rhine should be reconsidered.
With the question of the disposition
of upper Silesia out of its hands, the
council went to work on the other mat.
tiers which 1t had to Jake under advise
ment. The decisions were reached af-
ter M, BRAND, as president OF the coun.
Gil, replied to attacks by Lord Curzon,
the British foreign secretary, and Sir
Robert Stevenson Horne, chancellor Of
the British exchequer, against what
was termed the present expensive sys-
tenn Of administering the treaty, espe.
cially as concerned the occupation of
the Ruhr region.
This, Lord Curzon said, 'is very
costly and also irritating to German
national resentment and pride"
The chancellor Of the British ex-
chequer argued that continuance of
the present system impoverished every
one Of the interested powers, and that
means ought to be examined for reduc-
ing the cost as the high expense means
less reparation.

Washington. - Pursuit Of former
President Woodrow Wilson by partisan
politicians is about to receive a new
impetus by regalvanizing 9 long un
noticed federal statute which was en-
acted to keep former departmental Of
ficials in Washington from prosecuting
cases, or claims, against the govern
ment. The salute in question was
originally enacted back In 1858, but II
Is not now recalled that 1t has ever
been even so much as indifferently ap
piled.
Like many other statutes of similar
political nature of remote enactment
1t fell into disuse and was forgotten
even by It's sponsors. But when Wood
row Wilson and other democrats OF
less renown and distinction established
themselves In Washington as practic-
ing attorneys some of the partisans
who had barked at his heels through.
out the eight years Of his two admins
trations as chief executive took up the
trail, which should have ended in the
White House March 4, 1921. and are
pursuing him into the peaceful ways
Of private life.
The real animus of the proposed
Legislation may be glimpsed In the con-
sidered amendment to make the stat.
ute applicable only to those officials
who left the service Of the government
since 1918. This amendment would ap-
ply to those democrats who resigned
from the service two years before
Woodrow Wilson retired in 1921.
