'" A-petition forwarded to Represen tative Griffin, Democrat, New York, said that delegates from locals along the Atlantic coast attended the meet- in a and were convinced that "various ill-advised and misguided-rcformers have initiated a vicious propaganda to break down the drastic and whole- orn'e provisions of the Volstead act." Declaring that the object of the bills to . legalize beer have the "avowed object of encouraging the consumption of the so-called lighter drinks td! the detriment of whiskey and other alcoholic beverages," the petition said that enactment pf such legislation "would undermine and possibly destroy an important indus try which this union with its af filiated locals has painstakingly built up at "great risk of 'an immense cap ital, not. to speak of the risk of per sonal liberty, many of our members having incurred jail sentences and confiscation of their personal prop erty in the pursuit of their chosen calling."

JfiES Arthur Daves was born December 13, 1901, and died May 10, 1924. He wa workincr at Balsam Gap. and was stricken with pneumonia fever. He was sick onlv ten davs. Arthur professed taith in Uirist about five years ago and was bap tized in a meeting conducted by Rev. W. W. Marr. Arthur lived a Chris tian life until his death, and just be fore he departed this life he called his brothers to his bedside and asked them to meet him in heaven. We often wonder why it is that the Lord calls young men and women in the bloom of life, but Jesus tells us why, in the 17th chapter and the 24th verse' of John; "Father I will that they may behold my giory." He was aid to rest by his mother to await the resurrection. He leaves to mourn his loss, a father, five brothers and four sisters and a host of friends. Let us all pray that the boys and girls of our communities may .be ready to go as Arthur was when the Lord calls. The funeral service was conducted by Rev. W. L. Bradley; at the Burn ingtown Baptist Church. Written by one of his friends. JAMES J. SMITH.
