He will use for his sub- ject, “The Law; The Officers; The People.” This is a great law en- forcement address by a man who knows his subject. In his speeches, which are not only informing but also interesting, Mr. Kramer shows how the law can be and is being en- forced. He points out in no uncer- tain way what must be and can be done to make prohibition satisfac- torily effective. The public in general is invited and urged to hear Mr. Kramer.

Warford Addresses State Teachers College Students Sunday Afternoon The baccalaureate service at the State Teachers college assembly room Sunday afternoon was well at- tended. Two pleasing selections by the college glee club, of which Mrs. A. J. MacMillan is instructor and Miss Ragnhild Moe accompanist, pre- ceded the address by Rev. Lester P. Warford. Invocation was given by Dr. Zentz. Following are the main thoughts advanced by Rev. Warford: “This has been the song of God’s servants in every age. It is a song of triumph, and .is the note that every life should seek. If you were to sell the names of God’s disciples and followers you would find them answering to the meaning of this verse. Matthew was led into a large place when he left the toll booth to follow Jesus. Peter had never scen anything larger than the sea of Gali- lee until Jesus made him a fisher of men. Paul was a mere heresy hunt- er until Christ appeared to him and filled his heart with a passion for preaching the gospel of the cross. Surely it is cvident that obedience to God never contracts life. “It is to be served that we are inclined to make light of the little things of life; to scorn the common- GWEN HNE ADDRESS place, and thus to outgrow humility- God never meant it so to be. Moses reverenced the burning bush. Jere- miah reverenced the almond tree which grew in the waste place. Wil- liam Wordsworth reverenced the simplest flower, and honored the humblest walk of life.

NATIONTOPAY | LINCOLN HONOR MEMORIAL DAY Memorial to Abraham Lincoln to Be Dedicated Tuesday to “Savior of Nation” HARDING IS TO GIVE PRINCIPAL ADDRESS Distinguished Personages to Take Part in Washington Dedication Ceremonies By Herbert W. Waiker (United Press Staff Correspondent) Washington May 29,—America tomorrow will pay honor and tribute to Abraham Lincoln. Towering above the winding waters of the historic Potomac, the $3,000,- 900 Lincoln Memeorial, glistening in immaculate whiteness against the bright green sweep of upper Potomac Park, is to be formally dedicated by America, through President Hard- ing, to the memory of the “Savior of the Nation.” Thousands are expected to gather on this Memorial Day to attend the dedication services. And just across the river in Arlington ceme- tery | thousands, morg will lay wreaths on the graves of those who fought with Lincoln to save the na- tion, and on the graves of those who, since the Cival War President’s time, have laid down their lives to main- tain ideals of American liberty. Offi- cials fittingly chose this Memorial Day on which to perpetuate in ever- lasting white marble the name of Lincoln, President Harding will give the principal dedication address. With the President will be a host of dis- tinguished personages of the country including America’s World War Pres- ident, Woodrow Wilson, William Howard Taft, chief justice of the .| supreme court, and a member of the Lincoln Memorial Commission and leaders of the fighting forces of the nation, Back of America’s leaders will be grouped detachments from the army, navy and marine corps, and thous- ands of citizens, all gathered to pay tribute to the martyred president. Plan of Washington The Lincoln Memorial is part of the Mall, or Plan of Washington, conceived more than a century ago, at one end of which is the Capitol, monument Ro the gpvernment; to the west, the inspiring tower to George Washington; and still further west, along the Potomace, the memor- ial to Lincoln. The memorial is classic in its sheer simplicity. Its isolation accentuated on un clevated mound 45 feet above the river, adds prominence and dig- nity, typical the outstanding posi- tion occupied by Lincoln in Ameri- can life. It is composed of four distinct features—a statue of Lincoln, a me- morial of his Gettysburg address, a memorial of his sccond Second In- augural Addre and a symbol of the union of the United States. Each feature is so related, by design and position, that unity and simpli- ity are maintained throughout the monument. Lincoln’s statue is exactly in the center of the Memorial, unobscured by any object nearby. Two smaller (Continued on Page 8.) DR, ZENTZ T0 ADDRESS NUMEROUS GATHERINGS Dr. G. H. Zentz, pastor of the Methodist church of this city, leaves Tuesday morning for Backus, Minn,, where he will deliver the memorial address at 10 o’clock. In the after- noon he will deliver an address at Akeley, he having been chosen as the pri I epeaker for that city. Wednesday he will meet in confer- ence with the district superintendent of the Methodist church and other pastors to lay out a missionary pro- gram for Northern Minnesota for the next ten years. On Thursday Dr. Zentz will deliv- er the commencement address to the high school students at McIntosh and on Friday he will deliver the commen- cement address to the students of the high school at Crookston, return- ing to Bemidji Saturday. s s s e e s e
