JUDGE YE NOT FOR YE
SHALL BE JUDGED"

Everybody is waiting Tor our friend,
DIR. Kerry to appear on the scene. A
lady told me the other day she would be
glad to see him. He is coming with a
determination backed by a powerful will
and is going to deliver a message above
the suspicious and make the critical
eyes trimble.
Some of my good friends here say |
can do what he is doing; | have had
psychology, grant them that; but they
do not know how, when and where to
present it and why. That is the big
question They for got that men are
born wit hgifts and DR.. Kerry is one of
those men.
Do not get angry with man because
he can do more than you along your line
of work; but work and work to compete
or excel without ill feelings or injury.
We know that competition is the life of
any struggle. "Where there is life there
is a struggle and only the fittest sur
vive."
DR.. Kerry has no plans of over throw
ing or changing things that are right,
but means to straighten the many
crooks and move the obstacles that sur
round the individual that keeps him
from being what he should be.
Judge we not, for ye shall be
Judged
Some say he is giving hands that is
not true. If you do not have any hands
he can not give you any, those are given
by nature only, but he can give you
some wholesome information that will
do you good. 1t will be to the mind
what well cooked food is to the body.
He can give you instructions, not thru
hands or prescription of roots, but with
words. Can tell you about yourself with
out questioning your friends. He is no
sham or put on, but an honest-to-good-
ness Christian man sent from God to
lead the people
Clear your hearts and come out to
hear him at the public library Sunday
night, June 18th at o'clock. He will
be here ten days or longer.
Come and bring your friends to this
great revival.

Voice we wearied your patience by CIV

marks that will designate the popular

that we, the negro race, can without fear

for the kind of music known as Negro
spirituals, the only real American mu-

music known as Jazz that has its
spirit of intoxication, and is more and
more becoming an object worthy of cen

WILL DECIDE
MEANING OF
TERM WIDOW
Case Involving Question Ap'
pealed to Supreme Court
From Forks County

Whether or not the legislature used
the term widow" ns descriptive of
the person or the condition of relicts
of world war veterans is the question
to be determined by the supreme
court in the case of the State ex rel
Isabella Howieson VS.. Adjutant Gen
eral &. A. Fraser, appealed from the
district court of Grand Forks county.
The district court held that the
widow of q world war soldier is his
widow only so long as she remains
unmarried and that remarriage re-
moves her status as a widow under
the meaning Of the statute enacted to
govern the operations Of the Re-
turned Soldiers Fund.
The adjutant general, through the
attorney generals office which is
lighting tho case for the returned
soldiers bureau, contends that the
legislature meant the term widow
to apply to the person Of the woman
whose husband was killed in the war
and not to her station or condition in
life.
In the case in question John Mon
nett. North Dakota soldier, died
in the service. His widow applied
for compensation under the terms of
the soldiers bonus bill, even though
she had remarked. Monnett's mother,
Mrs. Howieson, also applied for the
bonus, contending that since her
sons widow had remarked she was
not entitled to the money. The low
err court held in favor of Mrs. Howic-
son and the state appealed the de-
clsi0n to the supreme court.

resolution to authorize the president
to take over and operate the antt,a-

II am against any such legisla
ton" Senator Watson said today.
A number of other committeer,cn
hold the same view and there appears
little prospect of action in this COM
mittee.
A resolution introduced in the
house today by Representative Der
ger, Socialist, Wisconsin. would III
rect the president to take control OF
the anthracite mines. CONTINUED
ownership ''by small group Of in.

He would have the miners return,

Washington, Jan. 18.-lP)-- The
American people,, responding to ma
tional necessity, "are we'll on the
way" toward solving the rubber prob
lem without government aid, Secre-

The committee is investigating the
effects of the British rubber mon
opoly, and Mr.. Hoover declared action
such as that taken by the NEWLY
formed American Motor Rubber COM
pany. which contemplates definite
dies and the Philippines, will bring
the necessary relief.
The American Motor Rubber COM
pany, Mr.. Hoover said. would be
a $10,000,000 organization which also
would stimulate production by the
utilization OF wild rubber trees. He
also told OF $50, 000, 900 organization
proposed by tire manufacturers. but
gave the committee no information
on the details OF the proposal.
Advised Against Loans.
Under questioning by Representa-,
tive Newton, republican. Minnesota
the secretary testified the admins.
tration had advised against direct
loans by. American banking houses
to those interested in the British
rubber monopoly and tho Braxilias
coffee industry.
Financial strengthening by Ameri
can capital would increase power o.
monopolics to operate against Ameri
can consumers, he said. adding thu
he believed American bankers w0ull
be glad to avoid any possible criti
