Bishops Crusade
Concludes Tonight
(COntributed)

There was little city, and few
men within it; and there came a great
king against it; and besieged it, and
built great bulwarks against it. Now
there was found in it poor wise
man, and he by his wisdom delivered
the city; yet no man remembered
that same poor man." (Eccelesiastes
9:I4-15).
Epiphany church has been filled all
the week with eager listeners as
Bishop Moulton and Archdeacon Por-
ter have preached the gospel Of the
Importance of the insignificant. Out
of little, despised Nazareth came an
humble, gentle, working man, who
gathered about him a group of simple
uncultured fishermen and other in
significant people, teaching them
great truths and principles which
revolutionized and reconstructed the
ideas of all mankind about God and
righteous living. Over and over again
Christ reconstructed the physical life
of some tortured sufferer and sent
him back to his own village or group
or family, to ever afterward teach
and preach the wonder and beauty of
that which he had heard. Not only is
the humblest and least conspicuous
necessary and important in the
kingdom of Heaven on earth, but the
littlest thing each of us does and says
may have almost never-ending re-
suits in the growth and development
of that kingdom. Physical weakness,
poverty, lack of education-none of
these things is a real handicap if one
is sincere in his belief or earnest in
his desire to help. "Often the physi-
cal minimum becomes the dynamic
maximum
Sometimes one may ask "How am
/ to know that God is there? or here?
But he has set signs along the way
to show us that He has been over
the road and that it is the right
way for US. Is there not in each indi-
vidual definite instructive conscious
ness of God in life? We are living in
a rational, ordered, systematic uni
verse. Who but God could so have or
dered that universe? We have discov-
cred too, that it is spiritual universe.
Again, the personality Of an all-wise,
Being sticks out all over

is not that of an unpleasant, over
bearing might; rather is that of
gentle, wise, and loving spirit, hav-
ing always in mind our needs and our
sympathizing, ready to
help, and to turn the least loving
thought, impulse and dead Of our inn
potent humanity to permanent and
beauty and glory in the
kingdom of the spirit. The church is
the ever-present symbol of that love,
always surrounding US with the care
of devoted mother.
The interest shown in the message
of the Crusaders, the earnest seek
ing after help evidenced by the ques-
tions submitted to them for answer,
Indicate that it was well worth while
for Bishop Moulton and Archdeacon
Porter to visit Flagstaff, the only
small place so favored in the whole |
nation, all other Crusade meetings
having been held only in the largest |
cities of each diocese.
On Wednesday evening large I
delegation from Williams drove over
TO attend the service, and many Of |
them will probably return for the
service this evening, |

sst, as Bishop Moulton will speak on |

FEDERAL COURT DENIES
QUEBEDEAUX NEW TRIAL

Judge Jacobs, sitting in the United
States district court at Prescott has
denied the motion of Tom NJ Quebed-
eaux for a new trial in the case of
State Superintendent of Banks A. t.
Hammons versus NJ. Quebedeaux, do
ing business as the Aztec Sheep COM
pany. The case was decided last June
when Hammons won a judgment
against Quebedeaux and the National
Surety company his guarantors for
$4,000.
Hammons brought suit as a receiv-
er for the defunct Bank of Winslow.
The case involved certain promissory
notes found among the assets of the
bank after Hammons took charge.
Hammon's contention was that the
notes were the personal liability of
Quebedeaux.

On Rodney Creek, Nome district, Tom Ockman is busy prospecting and doing his annual assessment work on a group of claims. MT. Ock- man has given an option to parties who are going to give the ground thorough testing The ground on the creek is thawed and the owners have never been able to thoroughly prospect any part of it, but it is the opinion of the owners and mining men of experiencs, that from the rich deposits found in early days on the present beach that the creek must contain good values, along with the certainty that the third beach line will be picked up, which would give the Rodney section a boom similar to early days.

 Frank w. Redwood has commenced operations on group of claims in which he is interested, part of which covers the old site of Fort Davis, near Nome. MT. Redwood will pro- bably sink on the old grounds and as good prospects were reported to have been found in former drillings in that vicinity, there is strong hopes that a good paying streak may be discovered.
 James Panos is busily engaged in prospecting at the same point of the big bend of Snake River, Nome dis trict where he sank holes last spring. At that time fair prospects were found but owing to the near approach of the breakup, work was discontinued until this fall. MT Pan- os has one shaft down and is pre- pairing to sink another one. Some of the gold extracted last spring was of course character, which lends color to the belief that it may be part of the old Snake River Channel.

Prohibition Proves
Best Method to- Deal
With Liquor Traffic

Facts being gathered by the Ma.

that prohibition Is tho best method
yet found Of dealing with the liquor
traffic, according to a declaration
made today by Mrs. Ella A. Boole,
national president of the w. C. Il. ~.
in a statement to all local unions.
Quoting from report made by the
United Charities Of Chicago e sim
liar report was made by the New
York organization) Mrs. Boolc point
cd out that Immediately after the
passage Of the Volstcad Act, the
benefits Of prohibition began to ap-
pear. "Thcsc benefits have con-
tinued and are increasing even where
the law is poorly enforced" said
Mrs. Boolc.
The decrease in intcmpcrancc i'm.
mediatcly following the Volstead
Act was accompanied by the lowest
count of general and industrial nc.
cidents; epilepsy; insanity; feeble
mindcdness; illegitimacy; imprison.

sertion and unemployment recorded
within six year period" Mrs. Boolc
explained this statement was taken
from the United Charities report and
that the six year period referred to
was 1016-1923.
AS these undeniable benefits were
Immediately recognized after prohib.
ition became part Of our law think
what real wholc-hcartcd law enforce
ment would mean when translated
into community health and welfare. .
said Mrs. Boolc.

Charities show that in the year
preceding the passage Of the Vol

NORTH DAKOTA BIRD NOTES
BY O. A. Stevens
North Dakota Agricultural College

What happens to the birds which
have arrived carly when the weather
changes and the billiards return :?
This is question which occurs to
nearly everyone as he watches the
uncertainties Of our carly spring
weather. A partial answer to the
question appears in a press dispatch

birds fell from the sky upon Water.
town Is. d. yesterday" The birds
were identified as Lapland longspurs
which migrate in great flocks and
sometimes encounter too severe
weather. On March q the writer
had noted great flocks Of them fly
ing south, no doubt rctreating from
the storm.
It is significant that the weather
bureau reports the storm of March
rs as one of the worst on record.
Reference is made to another heavy
snow in April, 1904. On March Is
Of that year it was estimated that
million and a half longspurs were
killed by a storm in Minnesota and
Iowa. In April, 1923, a considerable
number of these birds were picked
up on the streets Of Minot where
they had flown when pressed down
by the storm. Others were found
dead ut jamestown on April 6. 1928.
The longspurs have attracted con-
siderable attention in this respect,
probably on account of the great
numbers in which they arc found,
also because they are likely to en-
counter bad weather since they mi
crate SO early in the spring. Many
of the other birds doubtless fall vic
Tins to bad weather. but unless at
tention is called to particular cases
they pass unnoticed.
Moro Lively in Warm Weather
One cannot help noticing that the
birds are more lively when the
weather turns warm. This may be
due in part to resumption of mi
grafton movements as well as to re-
newed activity of the resident birds.
On March % the juncOes were sing
ing merrily after quiet period dur
ing the colder days just preceding.
The writer's banding records indi-
Gated that new group had arrived

Tho robins feed upon about as
great variety Of things as any of
our birds. During these early days
of spring they find many Of last
years fruits still on the trees such
as cedar, woodbinc. sumac, hack

leaves on the ground they find hiber-
mating beetles or other insects.
