meals. Out Of the conversation has
grown church project, described
by E. H. Rasmussen, executive Sec
rotary, Minnesota baptist Conven-
ton, as "a unique and most worthy
movement"
The men are E. L. Fuller pastor,
and G. L. jenkins, deacon, of St. An
thongs Baptist church, one of the
youngest but one of the best patron
lied of the local negro churches.
Fuller, to make the plan possible,
sold his home in a good residence
section of Minneapolis and bought
a house in a less desirable location,
part of which is being used as a
church.
Fuller told Rasmussen that at just
happened that Jenkins and / had
the same idea at the same time, to
get into something to help out our
people," Fuller, a native of Iowa,
said in his travels he had noticed
that the members of his race who
left the south to. settle elsewhere,
Seemed to lack appreciation of what
the white man is doing for them"
The main object of the project is
not so much to, cater to those who
already have religion and appreciate
their surroundings, as it is to guide
the newcomers from the south to
adjust themselves to their northern
abodes.
Fuller and Jenkins, SO far as pos
sible, are working under the guild
ance of state Baptist headquarters.
Other negro churches have Endorsed
the project.

MEETING TROOPS THEY
TRAINED
paterson CALI

When European nations having
African colonies, particularly
France, brought BLACK troops to
the front during the World War
they trained these savages in mod
ern warfare and made them effec-
tive fighters against the central
powers.
Toby, in the revolt of the Riff
fan tribes in Morocco, the French
are finding that instead OF facing
hCrdes of unframed tribesmen they
are meeting soldiers accustomed to
modern warfare and capable OF
putting UP a splendid fight against
the French troops. Trench war
| fare has been adopted by the Riff
fan forces, and in facing the
French troops the natives are using
all the things they learned in
France, and % gool advantage.
Many Of the black soldiers are
veterans Of the war against the
Spanish, in which they proved their
ability to meet Europeans, and it Is
reported that they are gathering
strong supporters from many
tribes in the Hinterland, and it i:
believed that the French forces are
likely to meet with serious DIM
culties in the future.

THE ANTITRUST LAW
DECISION
(ChicagO Tribune)

The United States Supreme court
has decided that trade associations
such as were maintained by the
cement manufacturers and the
maple flooring manufacturers do
not in themselves prove the exist
ence of a conspiracy to restrain
trade.
These trade associations, it was
shown, had exchanged information
on costs, prices, production and
stocks. The government contended
that this exchange of information
constituted proof that the mem
bers of the association intended to
prevent free competition in def
ance Of the antitrust laws. Justice
McReynolds, in his dissenting
opinion, stated the argument neatly
when he said the association could
have haL no other purpose than
the commission of illegal acts.
"Ordinary knowledge Of human ma
ture," he observed, and of the i'm
polling force Of good ought to per
nit no serious doubt concerning
the ultimate outcome of ule ar
rangements."
Justice McReynoids, we believe,
| is speaking from the past, from the
days when trust-busting was in its
| full fruitage, and when social re
formers thought the way to bring
about the millennium was to pre-
vent the formal ON Of large indus
trial and economic units. Few
competent economists believe any
longer in that panacea. The pub
lie, too, no longer believes go i'm
plicity that the mediocre men who
make cur statues, often under the
| lash Of cranks, are competent to
define business practice. Conse-
quently, we expect the courts Ie-
cision will be generally welcome,
if for no other reason than the
limitation it places upon govern
mental interference with private

prohibition, before bootlegging was
organized.
But even that 400 per cent is 800
per cent less than the deaths from
good" liquor before prohibition. So
prohibition must do a lot of pro-
hibiting, after all.
1t will be conceded that the stuff
that is peddled now is far more fatal
than the "pre-war" beverages. 1t
would take much less than one third
as much of it to kill one-third as
many people.
And California meantime has
grown rapidly in population, so that
whatever booze there is has to be
divided among many more people.
Allowing nothing for the greater
killing efficiency of the present boot
leg stuff, there are little more than
| one-fifth as many people killed by
it, in proportion to population, than
| there were in the cold days"

They are good arguments in both

trying to decide which one you would

"No," said Nancy and Nick to-

So Mi O. Mi began.
"Once upon time there was a
youth who lived with his mother and
father in one Of the richest cities OF
a, far-away land. The lads father
was a goldsmith and made beautiful

lived there.
THE lad, whose name was Guido

although his family was not nobly
born, his father was we'll paid for his
work, and they were much better on

Guido began to look down on his

would begin to boast about his clev,

But it had quite the opposite
effect, and before long Guido had nj
friends at all among either the rict
or the poor. Untruthfulness ant

quickly than blows or hard owrds.

FLY is SPREADER OF DISEASE

Nature has so constructed the
house fly as to make it an ideal car
rier of disease germs.
In the first place, the fly is born
and bred in filth. 1t feeds and lives
upon filth: Its body is covered with
fine hairs and bristles which act as
excellent carryalls for this filth in
which it moves.
Even the flies wings are fringed
with hairs and thickly studded with
bristles.
Also the fly has six feet, with pads
beneath, and great claws, and bris-
ties of various lengths and sizes,
The Bismarck tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, N.D.) 1916-current, 1925-06-11

which, naturally afford safe places
for the collection of all kinds of dirt
and refuse that the fly is accustomed
to visit.
Flies are the most active agents
in spreading typhoid fever germs.
The fever is caused by a small
germ which lives in the bowels of
human beings. Then to take ty-
phoid fever, one must partake of
the bowel discharges of a typhoid
fever patient.
The fly helps greatly in this by
carrying these germs and leaving
them on the dining room table
