GOOD WILL
Easter Services and Breakfast
at the SchOol-Extra Pre-
cautions for Church GOerS

Easter wah happily observed with
impressive services. At O'Clock Il
chorus of "a Good Will boys and girls
rendered Schenecker's cantata, THE
Risen King" and there was other
music and a brief address.
In the evening a series of beauti-
full stereopticon views, Easter in the
Holy Land" was shown accompanied
by appropriate vocal and instrument
al music. 1t was announced that all
the flowers were from bulbs sent for
the purpose by Mrs. Gertrude Tenn
pie of Sunland. Cal.
Monday morning at Willow Wood, an
Easter breakfast was given to the
members of the Good VIII choir by
Miss Faith j. Hinckley. Twenty -four
members were present.
When Good Will was founded in
1889 few horse drawn vehicles pass
ed along the main road every day.
The road was perfectly safe for pc
destrians at all times. Last summer
on pleasant Sundays from 1900 to
1000 automobiles went over the same
road, now a state highway. The travel
will be still greater this summer. 1t

Sunday are necessarily held in the
afternoon and early evening when the
travel is at its height. The entire

young people between and 10. is
forced to walk on the state road. The

either do not see them or choose to

the other end of the block.
The only way out seems to be a
walk on the west side of the highway
and running parallel to it. The Good
VIII management has already staked
out such n route, extending from
Marten stream southwark to the
Moody school building. 1t hopes to
secure the funds, not only to properly
construct the walks and the neces-
sary culverts, but also to arrange trees
and shrubs that, while pedestrians
will be safe and autoists unhindered.
the beauty Of the drive and the pleas
ure of tourists and pedestrians will
be increased.
Most of the elm trees along this
section of the state road were planted
by Good Will years ago.

MILLIONS WASTED
IN MILITARY CAMP

Baltimore.-The government has
started suit in the local federal court
to recover $7,00O,00O from New York
contractors who built the Camp Meade
cantonment, near here. The bill of
particulars is story of wild orgy,
waste and confusion. Millions of dol
lars worth of material was allowed
to go to waste with no one in author
ity to save this property that was
being paid for out of the peoples saw
ings. Workers were directed to 'eloaf
on the job, go fishing, swimming,
shoot craps and gamble" The can
tonment cost the government $18,-
100000.
After filing the suit, the federal
district attorney said he did not know
when it will be tried because of the
number of cases now on the docket.

RULERSHIP
By Judges is For Workers
Only, Says Shipstead

Seattle The workers are victims
of new theory of government, de-
clared United States Senator Ship
tead, in explaining the labor injunc-
tion at a mass meeting in this city.
Workers are deprived of their
rights under the law" said Senator
Shipstead Workers are made sub
jects of the irresponsible will of what
is sometimes called the conscience of
our judges, sitting in courts of
equity, through the misuse of the
power of injunction. In other words,
so far as labor is concerned, govern
ment by injunction is displacing gov
ernment by law We believe these
conditions have been brought about
by the misuse of the power of gov
ernment by those who have been en-
trusted with the control of that
power
I'VE believe that the paramount
duty Of every American citizen, man
and woman, this year is to join hands
with the progressive forces and elect
Robert La Toilette president, and
Burton K Wheeler vice president, in
order that the administration of gov
ernment may be taken from those
who have, and, as we believe will,
continue to use it for special privil-
ege, and in order that the administra-
ton of government shall be vested in
men who shall see to it that the pow
ers of government shall be used for
the purpose for which the government
is intended
