RA|D|NG MINISTERS
BLAMED IN REPORT
Conference Is Divided on

By the Associated Press.

FREEPORT, H., October l.
Methodist ministers who leave their
churches to aid in the enforcement
of the law were attacked and defended
before the 400 delegates to the Rock
River conference here yesterday.
Describing such ministers as the
"two-gun" type of preachers, dele
gates said their activities were hard
ly duties of eXponents of the Chris
tan faith" The public policy COM
mittee report contained the condemna-
ton, but after a heated controversy
an elimination was made of the sec
ton disappearing ministers who as
sumo police duties, but gave less
specific outline of a minister's duties.
Minister Defends Position.
Leading the attack on the report,
the Rev. Elmer Williams of Chicago,
characterized by his associates as
"raiding" preacher, declared that
inasmuch as laymen had submitted to
the bribes of political infiuentials, and
gambling and vice was permitted, the
Methodist minister should assume the
responsibility of leaving his confined
church duties and enter the under
world Of the big city.
In defending the report Of the com
mittee, it's chairman, the Rev. A. NJ.
PennyWell, declared that ne cOulu not
reconcile Christian principles with the
action Of a Methodist preacher don
ming pink whiskers and gun in order
to spread the gospel Of Christ.
"Snooping around. roadhouses and
houses of questionable reputation in
such disguise" he said, was hardly
one Of the duties of an exponent of
the Christian religion"

TOO CONSERVATIVE

The following item published in a
newspaper in Boston, Mass. 81 years
aio, was reprinted in the Wall Street
Iconoclast:
"A man about As years of age, Civ
ing the name of Joshua Coppersnith,
has been arrested in New York for
attempting to extort funds from ig-
norant, superstitious people by exib;t-
ing device which he says will convey
the voice any distance over metallic
wires so that it will be heard by the
listener at the other end. He calls the
instrument telephone which is I,b-
viously intended to irnitat. the word
telegraph and win the confidence Of
those who know the success Of the
Latter Instrument without under
standing the principles on which it is
based. Well informed people know
that it is impossible to transmit the
voice over the wires as may be done
with dots and dashes and signals vt
tie Morse code and that were it pos
s'tlc to do SO the thing would be OF
no practical value. The authoritifi
who apprehended this criminal are to
be congratu' ated, and it is hoped that
his pun shment will be prompt and
fitting and that it will serve as an
example to ether constituencies schen-
ers who enrich e.nselves at thu ex-
pence If their fellow creatures"

GARDNER BACK ON JOB
Kemneaoick Courier Reporter

Considerable political significance
Gardner to the cabinet family Of
Governor Hartley. He replaces w. G..
H. Davis as director of efficiency,
marking the first shift in the COVER
nor's cabinet, says Richard Hamilton,
The Courier-Reporter's Special corre-
spondent at Olympia, in his news let
ter this, week.
Mr.. Gardner, having resigned six
months ago as secretary to the COVER
nor, means that the Hartley admins
tration is almost sure to change its
political tactics and methods of con-
tact with the people. The indications
are that S arnbang methods will be
softened, resulting in tendency to-
ward leading rather than driving. 1t
is safe to assume that Mr.. Gardner
will become the chief political cour-
seller" to the governor, and step to
the front as the travelling companion
of Mr.. Hartley as he goes over the
state. u II
There is another feature worthy of
note. Since Mr.. Gardner left the gov
ernor's office, the cabinet has been
without a platform spokesman. None
of tie cabinet members can make
much of a speech, altho' Director
Barnes, department. of agriculture, has
occasionally raised his voice on the
platform. The burden Of the speech
making, however has been carried by
tie governor. But Mr.. Gardner is a
pretty fair platform performer. So, it
is safe bet that he will be frequent
ly assigned to carry the administra-
TONS story to the people.
It is apparent that Mr.. Gardner's re-
turn will please most of the members
of the administration. They give Kim
credit of having political talent and
diplomacy, figure that he will bright
en- the tone of the administration ard
yield safe and popular counsel to the
governor. In other words, it looks
as if Mr.. Gardner is slated to become
Mr.. Hartley's political strategist.

PREVENTIVE HOUSE,
CLEANING

If the home has been regularly and
systematically cared for, the old
fashioned strenuous period of upheaval
which our mothers called "spring"

however, TIE changes of the season
ne:essitate certain changes in the de-
tails OF housework, and some re-
arrangement ct ones furnishings and

In t,oing through ones home, the
object should be not only to make
everything spick and span for the
time being, but to make such changes
as viii hep it to remain so with the
least possible daily or weekly work.
Much of the dirt that gets into the
houses is blown or tracked in. Re-
move dirt regularly from window
stills, porches, steps, and walk to keep
it from Being blown into the house.
Screens covered with cheesecloth
will stop much dust and SCOT at
windows and doors. Concrete walks
will reduce the amount of dirt carried
in on shoes. Provide mats and
scrapers to hep still further. A place
just inside the entrance where muddy
boots and coats may be left is great
help.
Lessen the number Of dust collect
ing places. Furnish waste baskets,
ash trays, and recepticles for burnt
matches in every rcpnn, and above all,
train the members of your family to
help by leaving things where they be-
long and in good condition. Take

NOT ALL LEGUMES LIKE
LIME

Legumes as rule take large quaint
ties of lime from the soil. In fact,
many such crops do not grow we'll or
not as all where acid conditions exist.
This is particularly true iof alfalfa and
red clover and perhaps to less de-
gree Of sweet clover and vetch. Cow
peas and soybeans, on the other hand,
usually do not respond to Inning, and
white clover grows well on acid soils.
Com is ordinarily considered to be
to Grant of acid conditions, and such
grasses as redtop, Bermuda grass, and
lespcdeza grow well on acid soils.
Bog plants, such as sblueberries, re-
quire an acid soil, and such fruits as
Strawberries and raspberries apparent
ly are not benefited by applications
of lime. The great majority of garden
and truck crops and cereals usually
are improved by lining.
To wash a pillow, transfer the
feathers to muslin bag two or three
times the size of the ticking. This
may be done easily By sewing the
edges of the opening of the ticking
and bag together and shaking the
feathers from one to the other. The
feathers and ticking are washed
separately. Scrub the feathers in a
weak solution of washing soda, using
a good suds. Rinse in two or three
lukewarm rnses and then dry. Beat
f's-m time to time. After washing the
ticking, starch it on the inside with
a very stiff starch mixture. applied
with sponge. This closes the pores
of the material and prevents the
feathers from working their way
through. The ticking is then dried
and refilled.
