METHODIST CHURCH
Paul l.. Grove, Pastor.


The services of Palm Sunday We're
memorable from every standpoint,
not only because of the augmented au-
diences but becauseof the beauty and
spiritual uplift of the services. The
inauguration of the new lighting sys-
tenn seemed to produce a profound
impression, and we believe that the
future will vindicate their installa-
ton, especially from a religious
stanpoint.
The services on Thurs day and Fri
day of this week are to be high lights
in cur religious experiences. On
Thursday there will be preaching
service in the Auditorium, our vest
ed choir will sing, Mrs. Grove Will
give a solo, and special lighting Ell
fects will be produced. On Friday
evening there will be a short talk by
the Pastor, and the observance CT TN"
Lords supper. There will be special
music. and the ceremony of the cleo
trio cross. Please note that these
services on Thursday and FRIDAY
nights will begin at 500 O'Clock, IN
stead of at 1870 p. m.
Easter Day will be observed with
all the intensity of religious ferVor,
and a lavish expenditure of thought
and prayer both morning and even
ing. Let everyone wend their way
to their own home church on Easter
morning.
We are sure that this is going to be
a great week, for about two hundred
people have signed the little cards
pledging themselves to read the BIZ
BILE passages outlined for this week.
Something good and fine is bound to
come out of this.

that Of James G. McNary to be con-

apparent opposition to the appoint

and that Of Towner of Iowa to be gov

MYTH the passage of the rural
w credits bill the last session Of
the Sixty-seventh congress practi-
cally closed it's business, and when
final adjournment came that measure
stood out as the one big accomplish
ment Of the lawmakers during the en-
tire session. OF course, the usual sup
ply bills had been put through, and one
Of them, for the army, unfortunately
carried the usual pork feature for riv-
ers and harbors, despite the efforts of
the administration. Congress this time
has done little which it can point to
with pride, and this is said without
~partisanship for both parties are to
blame.
The farm bloc, backed by Secretaries
Hoover and Wallace, had its way in
the matter of farm credits legislation,
for the Capper bill as passed included
the important features Of the Lenroot-
Anderson bill which Secretary Mellon
and many members of the house bank
ing and currency committee did not
like. One amendment adopted by the
house extends the life Of the VA
Finance corporation until January 81
1924. During the debate on the meas
ure Representative Burton of Ohio de
nounced the plan for the formation of
intermediate credit banks attached to
the federal land banks involving the
use Of $6O,0O0,O00 in government funds
as provided in the Lenroot-Anderson
part of the composite bill. Too much
borrowing and too much credit had
been one Of the causes Of the difficult
ties of the farmer, he asserted. He
said he spoke from experience as a
banker during the war period.

ID Y AN order Of the federal railroad
ID labor board issued Wednesday,
wage increases of two cents an hour
were awarded to $4,000 railway freight
handlers and laborers and the eight
hour day was restored to all Of the
321,OOO members of the Brotherhood Of
Railway and Steamship Clerks, Freight
Handlers, Express and Station En-
ployees. The decision disposed of the
last Of a batch of wage cases that
had been pending for months, and
follows one of several weeks ago, in
which the board restored the eight
hour day to $4,000 railway signalmen.
The wage increase amounts to half OF
the decrease in pay ordered by the
board last July.

DOLAND and Lithuania agreed on a
L truce in their squabble over the
neutral zone, but it was not very
strictly observed during the week. The
Poles claim to be trying to avoid any
clashes and assert that German officers
are leading their opponents. There are
reports that the Germans in East
Prussia are arming to retake Memel,
and other reports that the Poles are
planning to seize East Prussia. The
chances for serious trouble in that
region are still excellent.

Minister Benes says a commission will
come to Washington Don for the pur-
pose Of settling discrepancies, and that
his country hopes to get as good terms
as any allied debtor to America.
That Finland also intends to pay the
United States is shown by the fact
that DIR. Axel Leonard, the Finnish

liminary conversations with Secretary
of the Treasury Mellon on the matter
of refunding Finland's debt, which
amounts to more than $8,0O0,0O0, with

opposition to the plan, threatening q
filibuster. Senator Lodge summoned
the foreign relations committee to con-
slider it, and the committee instead OF
voting addressed to the President a
series of questions framed by Mr..
Borah. These were embodied In this
resolution:
'"That the President be requested to
advise the committee whether he ia
vors an agreement obligating all pow
ers, or governments, who are signers of
the protocol creating the court, to sub
nit all questions about which there is
a dispute and which cannot be settled
by diplomatic efforts, relative to:
"(a) The Interpretation Of treaties.
"(b) Any question Of international
law.
"(c) The existence Of any fact
which, If established, would constitute
a breach of an international obligation.
"(d) The nature or extent of repair
alton to be made for the breach of an
international obligation.
Secondly, if the President favors
such an agreement, does he deem it
advisable to communicate with the
other powers to ascertain whether they
are willing to obligate themselves as
aforesaid? Or are they to insist that
such questions shall only be submitted
in case both, or all, parties interested
agree to the submission after the con
troversy arises?"
Thereupon it was announced at the
White House that the administration
would wait until the next congress
met before pressing for action on the
Presidents request. The Democrats,
meanwhile, were in high glee over
the affair and fastened to take all
political advantage of it. They de-
clared they would endeavor to force
a vote on the matter before adjourn
ment in order to put the senators on
record.

Wednesday according to schedule. The
senate voted against recommitting it,
but carried the motion of Senator Laid
of North Dakota to proceed with the
consideration Of the house flled-milk

subsidy measure. Senator Caraway OF
Arkansas introduced a bill which pro-
vides that the shipping board shall

any ships which the latter are willing
to operate, with a view to developing

nucleus Of a national army and are
stirring up all kinds of trouble for the
French in the Ruhr. Cuno told his
cabinet hat if Germany let up in her
resistance to the French there prob
ably would be a revolution and that it
was impossible to start Overtures for
a settlement now. 1t was believed in
Berlin that the government was seri-

the United States to intervene.
