More than 100000 gallons of cider

problem to prohibition enforcement

Ward took occasion 10 criticize the fact that not q single recommenda- ton of the commission on employ ment appointed by President Hard ing in 1921 has been carried out, Not has anything been done to start carrying them out, nor will it be done until presently the unavoid- able period of depression will come upon us and We shall again have our bread lines and our soup kitchens"
 Prof. Ward spoke with acerbity concerning the elimination from in duStry of workers who have passed the age of 40 After a man past 40 has lost his job, the door of hope is set against him in many lines" he asserted. !
 In a discussion which followed. :, Prof. Ward said, You have seen the worst side of the south reported in the papers, but not the best l look to see an industrial develop ment in the south that will be more rapid than it has been in any other part of the world"
 Prof. Wards address follows:
 We are accustomed to say that h ;ct ;o nj ,oly 10 chief value in human affairs. We ought to say that the chief en- phasis of the Christian religion is upon the development of persons. that therein is found the meaning of life. Therein is also found the meaning of God. Therefore, what the Christian churches have been doing in the industrial conflict has been set to that standard of per sonality. the value of the human beings over against the actual prac- tices of the industrial world. Also, the churches on the positive side have uphold the ideal of the con- tinued expansion and enlargement of personality and have pointed out to the industrial world what had to be done, in order that it's ways and works might be made contrihutive to the further development of hu- man life.
 There was a commission on em- ployment appointed in 1921 by President Harding. The present president of the United States was at the head of that commission.
