Temporary removal from coun-

day in deciding the case of Una
Walker of Renville county.
The mothers pension act "is not
a poor relief statute, but the pen

in an opinion written by Justice

should be literally construed.
Mrs. Walker had been granted a
pension in Renville county. On

Judge Burr of the district court,
who is sustained in the supreme
court.

In speaking of the mothers PEN

BY Individual Soothing

Moscow, April 9.-The Easter mes
sage that the church bells of Mos
COW sent out was needed by no
such echo or organized mockery
as saluted the Christmas chimes
The day passed quietly and
there was no unusual anti-religious
demonstration
But from little group that hud-

of the "internationale."
"Down with the priests; down with
religion" shouted man in the
crowd. An angry murmur ran
through the throng of worshipers.
Some shrugged their shoulders;
others laughed, but there was no

blocked. seriously interfering with
the complicated inland waterway traf-
fic i'm the Ruhr.
This is the most serious case II
sabotage reported on the Ruhr water
ways. The lock, which was destroy
ed, is mean the junction of the bort
mund-Ems canal, with the main
canal that runs down to the Rhine
at Duisberg and Ruhrort, where the
largest inland water port in the world
is located.
The intention of the dynamiters
apparently was not only to block the
canal, but to drain the water from
the main Rhine-Herne canal, which
is the main waterway artery of the
Ruhr. The French say that this
main canal has not been interferod
with, as the locks on both sides OF
the lock which was dynamited were
closed Immediately after the ex-
plosion to prevent the draining OF
the main canal.
