A BIBLE THOUGHT FOR TODAY
GREETING TO 1924:—The Lord
bless thee and keep thee. The Lord
make his face shine upon thee, and
be gracious unto thee. 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

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. It the law of prohibition
is to be enforced there should be no
exceptions shown jnst because a man
is rich and socially prominent. The
raiding party was only doing its duty
and instead of censure they are de-
serving of much praise

In court, the boy’s lawyer asked

contortion.
It took that jury juat twenty min

There's a grand thought there. If
a smile is worth twenty thousand

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

to the matter have been reduced to

Some contracts to be binding at all
must be reduced to writing
These
contracts come within what is known
as the Statutes of Frauds. The terms
of these statutes vary in the differ

general rules that apply to all of the
states alike.
These embrace: All
contracts for the sale and purchase
of real property, contracts to charge
another with the debts or obligations
of a third person and contracts that
are not to be performed within one
year from the making thereof. 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.
