PAGETWO ! REV. BLACKMAN - NBW CHAPLAIN OF THE LEGION Believes Dancing, Billiards and Card Tables ‘Are Alright To Meet Social Needs IS A “FIGHTING PARSON” Chanute, Kan., Dec, 10.—The’ fight- | ing instinct which won gor the Rev. . Blackman, the flewly elected national chaplain of the American Legion, the title of the “Fighting Par- son of the Thirty-fifth’ during the world war, has stood him well in hand nce he came back, to his peace-time ion as pastor of the First Chris- tian church here. Enlightenment gained in his war service created new ideas as to the scope of religious activities. The new planks he insert- ed in. the church’s platform created considerable dpposition. But thus far the’ “fighting parson” has won. “We have never had dancing in the chureh,” he said.. “he main reason being that we have no suitable room HAPPY INTERNA f Bs oi for it. I do not favor the use of the sanctuary in the church for any pur- pose other than worship, but believe the church could well have a dancing floor in a building adjacent to the church, or in the same building; also Dilliard tables, al and card rooms if they seemed to be required to meet the social needs.” Mr. Blackman’s church has a mo- tidh picture machine, for use in con- nection with s es. Indications are that his policy popular. On this ‘point, My, Blackman said: “Our own church has outgrown its present plant. A lot has been pur- chased and a new building is con- templated. The church usually is crowded Sunday evenings, about three-fourths of the audience heing}' young people. Frequently many are turned away before the service starts, so crowded is the auditorium.” The career of the Rev. Mr. Black- qian has been diversified. He was born in Kendallville, Ind., Oct. 2, 1882, on a farm and received a common school education. He studied steam GUTICURA HEALS ECZEMA ON ARNS Hands and Hip.

These activities overlapped some with fayming and go- ing to college where he earned his own way. While attending the University of Kansas he helped pay expenses by evangeli singing, preaching, run- ning a tion engine in the wheat fields, private boxing lessons and sell- ‘ing automobiles. In 1914 he became pastor of the Chanute church and has held this po- sition since, with exception of two years spent in military service. Mr. Blackman was commissioned first lieutenant and chaplain and was mustered into federal service August 1917. He saw a year’s service over- As. Atter the armistice was signed, Mr. Blackman challenged any chaplain in the A. E, F. to a boxing bout under ices of the Y. M. C. A. The chal- haplain Rex- roed of the 91st division. All arrange” ments were made but the bout was stopped by the “G. H. Q.” It was overseas that he gained the title of “The Fighting Parson” because of his activities as boxer and boxing referee. “T have refereed perhaps two hun- dred bouts since I returned from France,” ‘he said. “I have a class in boxing ‘for_high school boys, meeting once a week.” Due to the opposition within his church to his policy on amusements Mr. Blackman once each year has sub. mitted his resignation. Last spring it rejected for the third time and a raise in salary was voted him.

BRITAIN, ACTING AS JAILER, SAYS LORD NEWTON Is a Gross and Intolerable In-| terference With the Govern- ment Of a Free Nation LET EX-EMPERORS RULE Lonfon, Dec. 16.—-(By Associated Press.)—Pleas for former emperors of German and Austria-Hungary were made in the House of Lords recently when Lord Newton, raising the ques- tion of the exclusion of the Hapsburg dynasty from the Hungarian throne, said that the Hungarian .people evi- dentlydesired to have a king. “Why,” he asked, “should the Haps- burgs be excluded any more than any other dynasties that were still allowed to rule?” How could the attitude of the great powers be reconciled witn the principle of self-determination? It was, he added, a gross and intoler- interference with the govern- ment of a free nation. eS Lord Aranmore and Browne re- gretted that Britain had agreed to act as jailer for the ex-Emporer -Charles of Austria-Hungary and had become responsible for sending him to a new St. Helena. Lord Phillimore, an eminent lawyer, asked what authority the powers had for telling the people of Hungary who should be their king or not, or wheth- er they should have a king at all. He protested against any interference in| Hungary’s internal affairs. He thought it was a mistake to have dethroned the Hohenzollerns, “be- cause,” he said, “with a chastened emperor on the throne, we would have had a more steady Germany, and have stood a much better chance of Belting our money back.” he Earl of Crawford, replying for the government, ‘said that he could not discuss the qu€stion of the restor- ation of dynasties.

Altenbernd say# he doesn’t want the town and wouldn’t know what t do with it if he got it. ‘I'm not sure what~I will do with West Fargo if it becomes my prop- | erty,” he said) “It is a puzzler. Of course if some way is found to open the packing plant again the dwellings will be needed to house the workmen there.

Twenty-four dwelling houses, a combined store and hotel and 82.24 acres of ground comprise the town of West Fargo. All of the houses, ther- oughly modern, were built by the packing company and were ready for occupancy when the plant began business June 27, 1919- .Figures com- piled by a former secreta of \ the Equity plant place: the total cost: of the dwellings at $89,430 and the hotel at $35.00.

The Equity: Cooperati¥e Packing company is a cooperative organization having thousands of stockholders in the Northwest. It was organized in 1916, the plant completed in 1917 at a cost of approximately $1,000,000, in- cluding equipment, and thé first kill- | ings were made ‘in June, 1919. ? For a time the company apparently operated ja highly successful and prosperous business. It had its own ine of refrigerator cars and estab- lished branch houses at Milwaukee and other points east of here. How- ever, the plant closed in March, 1921, and it then developed that the com- pany had been losing money almost from the moment the plant opened. High livestock prices, seldom if ever equalled in the livestock indus- try, which prevatled when the com- pany began operations are said to although a certain group of stock- holders: charged that mismanage- ment by its officers was to blame. Property of the Equity is said to be worth $1,705,000, and in addition the company holds $770,000 worth of un- paid notes given in part payment for stock. It is said there is but $125,000 outstanding indebtedness against the company, including Altenbernd’s $56,000 judgment: Officers of the*tompany are trying to realize on the unpaid notes, and it is said that an attempt will be made to reopen the: plant some time next year. ¢ 3 . hi |MOHALL BANK IS "GIVEN SUPPORT UPON OPENING Mohall, N.
