JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Dec. 10.
Back from Louisville, KY, where
he spent ten days in jail as a SEN
tence for contempt Of federal court,
the Rev. Roy E. Davis, Pentecostal
Baptist minister, announces that he
will make a vigorous campaign
against the eighteenth amendment
and the Volstead law.
The minister came here six
months ago and started a series Of
revival meetings in an empty store
building. On his return, he found
his followers had purchased the
former Nazarene church building
and were ready for him to resume
his evangelistic campaign.
Judge Dawson sentenced the min
lister for clapping his hands after a
federal charge against him had been
dismissed. The minister denies he
applauded.
"I believe that the church made
terrible mistake when it forced
the passage of the eighteenth
amendment and supporting dry
laws,p the minister declares, bring
ing in an era of lawlessness ano
corruption without making any re-
duction in the evil of drunkenness
while I was serving the con-
| tempt sentence" the minister said
II came in contact with many pro-
hibition law violators who are not
criminals and who never would
have been sent to prison had the
eighteenth amendment and Vol
stead law been enacted, because
they respect other criminal statutes
but have no respect for the dry laws
I am done with unwise attempts tt

taller myself, but I have no right tc

more harm than good if I tried tc
do so.'

An appeal is sounded to farmers, whose lands or

of shooting to advance this worthy cause and farm
ers also are urged to donate the game they bag
during days sport.
It'll just cost the hunter few shells, and he'll
be more than repaid by the sport he GETS says
Myers Then he'll have that extra good feeling that
he's helping someone who needs help far more than
he possibly in1agines.'

will be accepted gladly at bag the Bunnies" head
quarters. Any game will be welcomed, except the
