the human race until the last vestige Of
the curse is gone.
No movement that has had for its
object the uplife of humanity has ever
achieved any permanent or lasting sue
cess until the church got behind it.
No moral movement ever got very far
without the support of the church.
From the first this movement has been
essentially, "The church in action
against the saloon"
DR.. Baker, years ago, wrote, 'The
saloon problem is the church's problem
and the world expects the church to
solve it. Her failure will disappoint
both friends and enemies"
'The church is not only responsible
for results, but is obligated to bring
forth the best results.
Failing in this she is in danger of
FORGETTING leadership in moral reforms"
These words are as true today as
when written two decades ago.
The Church will not have done her
part when she shall have accomplished

trade advantages. We have recently
had an illustration of this ia connec-
ton with the enforcement of Prohibit
ton legislation in Iceland. Iceland
had adopted the Prohibition policy.
Spain placed a boycott on Iceland's
fish to compel her to repeal her Pro-
hibition law. Norway, in 1916, en-
acted system of partial Prohibition
limiting the amount of alcohol in per-
mitted beverages to II per cent. Spain
compelled Norway to accept treaty
by which 100000 litres in Spanish
wines are to be imported annually.
Such an importation will be a distinct
violation Of the Norwegian domestic
law. Such practice savors of force.
Such conduct by one individual to-
wards another within a nation would
not be tolerated. Until such tactics
are abandoned by the more powerful
nations of the world we can never ex-
pect that era of good feeling which is
essential as foundation for respect
for international law.

RESPONSIBILITY OF THE CHURCH
Rev. E. J. Moore, Ph.D., ID, Assistant
General superintendent of Anti
Saloon League Of America.

After all that has been said from this
platform during this great convention,
no sane person can doubt the necessity
for organized effort in and successful
war against the liquor traffic, therefore
I am going to take that for granted and
confine myself to the theme, Response
bility of the Church"
When the final history of this struggle
shall have been written, the laurel must
rest on the brow of the church.
Primarily the liquor problem was
never problem of dollars and cents
primarily it was never a problem OF
social service or politics; primarily il
was question of right and wrong, and
the church standing for the right, per
sistently kept, and will keep it before

her task of law enforcement. In fact,
she cannot accomplish that by any mar
row or short-sighted policy.
America cannot be dry, surrounded
by wet world.
Self-protection demands that the
Church have broader vision than
"America first and last"
If Prohibition is to be 100 per cent a
success in any part of the world the
Church of that part must take as its
slogan
"The World is my Parish"

TURTLE RIVER FARMERS.
HOLD MEETING FRIDAY

The Turtle River Farm Bureau
Unite and Farmers club will meet
at the chapel at Turtle River Friday,
April 7. Lunch will be served at
noon.
The main feature on the program
will be the testing Of milk for butter
fat. Every farmer attending is urged
to bring a sample Of milk from each
of his cows. These samples will be
tested during the day. This is one
step in determining the value Of cows
as butter producers. This should be
followed with weighing Of milk from
each cow to determine her average
production.
The question Of a cooperative
creamery will be discussed and ar
rangements made for taking a COW
census to determine the number of
COWS available. This data will de-
eide whether the time is ripe for a
creamery at this point or not.
R. B. Remmers, manager of the
Falk Potato Flour factory, will talk
on Trinidad.
Thos. Porte of Northern town.
ship and the county agent, D. c..
Dvoracek will also be present.

ACTIVE TUBERCULOSIS
CASES TO BE REMOVED

Action, similar to that which may
be taken soon in number of other
cases, has been taken by the county
commissioners to have the mother
and two children of Nymore family
taken to Lake Julia sanitorium for
treatment and care. These persons
have been suffering from tuberc ulo-
sis for some time and have shown,
according to reports by medical au-
thorities, no willingness to take care
of themselves at home and have
mingled with other persons not afflict-
ed with this disease. These patients
will be cared for at the expense Of
the three counties contributing to
the support Of the Lake Julia insti-
tuition.
1t is understood that number Of
ether similar cases will be attended
to soon. if other treatment is not
taken at once. The action Of the
county board in authorizing these
persons to be taken to the Lake Julia
home is commendable, since the
presence of active cases in the COM
munity is not desirable, especially
when the afflicted persons mingle
with the public. The Lake Julia san
atorum is now. able to care for n
number Of additional patients, since
the coming of warmer weather per-
mits the use Of the porches as sleep
ing quarters.

UNVEIL MONUMENT TO
FINDER OF NORTH POLE
(By United PreSs)

Washington, April Ga memorial
to the late Rear Admiral Robert D..
Peary, discoverer Of the North Pole,
was unveiled at Arlington National
Cemetery here today.
President Harding, Secretary of
the Navy DENLY and other high Off
Gals of the government attended the
ceremonies, which were under the
direction of the National Geographic
society.
The memorial, which was fashion
ed from a design of Peary's sugges-
ton, was unveiled by the "snow
baby" Mrs. Edward Stafford Peary's
daughter. In her youth, she was
known as the "snow BABY because
she was born nearer the North Pole
than any other white child. Her
birthplace was in the far north head
quarters of one of the expeditions in
the COS, by which Peary determined
the northern coast line of Greenland.
The memorial is huge oblate
spheroid of granite, representing the
earth. On it is carved map Of the
earth with a bronze at the spot rep
resenting the North Pole-symbol of
the achievement by which Peary's
name will ever be remembered.
The symbolic design of the monu-
ment was conceived by Admiral
Peary during his last illness and sug-
gestions for it were dictated to his
wife, who accompanied him on sew
eral of his Arctic expeditions. On
one side of the base is the Latin mot
to, "Inveniam Viam Aut Faciam," "
q will find a way or make one)
which was a favorite quotation of
the explorer.
The Inscription reads: "Robert
Edwin Peary, Discoverer of the
North Pole, April 6, 1909, Rear Ad-
miral, U. S. N, civil engineer, ex-
plorer, scientist, 1356-1920."

the court house Wednesday. The
plans are to have demonstration

Five acres Of land will be cleared
of stumps and brush, the soil pre-
pared and a crop planted, all in the
same day. In order to accomplish
this, prizes are being offered to the
various farmers clubs which are ex-
pected to participate. To the club
which clears its allotment in the short
est time and i'm the cleanest manner.
will be given a prize of $50 in cash.
Other prizes will probably be donated
by merchants of the county and be
awarded as second and third prizes.
The Tenstrike club has agreed to
provide the lunch at midday at very
nominal price, with plenty to eat

was accepted as land clearing man.

this yeap on account of his present
connection with the federal land de-

are now being made for another land
clearing manager and it is. expected
that one will be secured as quickly
as possible to direct the work in
this county.

clearing program big start.
