The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.—Numbers 6 24-24. THE BROAD AX The Chicago Broadax. as Is its yesu-ly castom. came forth last week with its wonderful special edition. Its veteran editor. Julius Taylor, seems to have a stand-in with the business and professional men of the Windy City, greater than any other Race journalist, if one is to judge by the class of men whose cuts and write-ups appear tn his paper. For that reason we place Editor Taylor at the head of the class when it comes to getting out special editions that pay RAIDING THE RICH Why so much noise about the raid on the home of the Labbes New Year's night? Are the authorities to raid only the homes of the poor? Look at the many homes of the poor that have been raided by the officers in Portland and not a word of cen sure or protest was heard from the higher-ups.

He triad, One side of his face smiled, but the Injured aide juat puckered up In a hideous and pitiful contortion. It took that jury juat twenty min ute* to give him a verdict for twenty thousand dollar*. Twenty thousand dollars wa* thus legally certified a* the value of a smile There's a grand thought there. If a smile is worth twenty thousand after you lose it, it must certainty be worth at leaat that much while you still have it Then every one of us has a twenty thousand dollar asset that we hadn't so considered. Are we investing it like It had that much value? Are we making it do that much good? Let's all put our twenty thousand dollars' worth of smiles to work dur ing 1924. It will make the world bet ter and brighter, and every pathway smoother. • We mean no discredit to any church that seeks to help mankind; we honor every man who believes in God; but we declare it to be faith that when we meet a man smile on his face advertises peace and happiness in his heart the love he feels for all men—we that we are standing in the presence of a priest tn the greatest of God's churches— the church of the Brother hood of Man Robert Ingersoll said that "good nature is the cheapest yet most val uable of all commodities, and love is the only thing that returns 100 per cent to the borrower and lender both."

These must be in writing to be binding In law. There are other provisions that come within the statutes that your at- torney will take care of. They need not therefore be set out here.
