disregard the constitution and laws
of our land and of our state, and are
therefore seditious and criminal In
character;
And whereas, the Daughters of the
American Revolution believe In and
stand for the orderly administration
and enforcement of the lawa of the
nation and state, and have a high re
gard for American Institutions pro
vided for and by such laws.
Therefore .be it resolved, that this
organization denounces and con
demns those guilty of such acts of
syndicalism as being un-American
and a menace to our government.

do Indorse our 'Circuit court and
Judge Harry D. Norton and other of

organization In the ordely conduct of

DENY DISCONTINUANCE
OF LOANS TO BANKS
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27. ( AP)
The Reconstruction Corporation to

At a press conference, Gardner
Cowles. a director, said "there la not
the slightest foundation for any
such statement.
7. C T. U. Notes
By Mrs. Wm. H. Hill.
The W. C. T. U. Is an organization
of Christian women of every creed,
banded together for the protection of
the home, the abolition of the liquor
traffic and the triumph of Christ's
golden rule In custom and In law.
In 1874 a declaration of principles,
written by Frances Wlllard reads like
1033 technocracy. "We believe In the
coming of His Kingdom. . . . We
believe in the gospel of the goldon
rule and that each man's habits of
life should be an example safe and
beneficent for every other man or
women to follow. We believe
In one standard of purity for both
men and women and In the equal
right of all to hold opinions and to
express the same with equal free
dom. We believe in an equal
wage; In an eight hour day; courts
of conciliation and arbitration; In
Justice as opposed to greed ana gain.
We .therefore formulate and
for ourselves adopt the following
pledge:
I hereby solemnly promise God
helping me, to abstain from all dis
tilled, fermented and malt liquors,
including wine, beer and cider and
to employ all proper means to dis
courage the use of the traffic In' the
same.'
"To enforce and conform the ra
tionale of this pledge, we declare our
purpose to educate the young; to
form a better public sentiment. To
reform as far as possible by religious,
ethical and scientific means the
drinking classes; to seek the trans
forming power of Divine Grace for
ourselves and all for whom we work
that they and we pledge ourselves to
labor and to pray that all these prin
ciples founded upon the gospel of
Christ may be worked out Into the
customs of society and the laws of
the land."
Our limited space prevents us giv
ing you further light on how the
W. C. T. U. functions In Its activities,
but next week we will continue to
show how Its program Is carried out
even to every country on the globe.
Keep this one thought In mind:
That the W. C. T. U. Is not a mill
tant organization. It Is not a home
missionary society with evangelism as
Its main objective, although Its prin
ciples are founded on the gospel of
Christ.

Improperly wrapped cigarettes begin to
dry out as soon as packed.
Camels are cooler because they come
in the famous Humidor Pack of welded,
three-ply, MOISTURE-PROOF cello
phane . . . and because they contain better
tobaccos.
A cigarette that is fresh, full of natural
moisture, and blended from choice, ripa
tobaccos tastes cooler than one that is
harsh' and acrid. For coolness, choose
a fresh cigarette, made from costlier
tobaccos.
It U a fact, well known by
leaf tobacco experts, that '
Camels are made from finer,
MORE EXPENSIVE tobaccos than
any other popular brand.
