BODY TO RULE TURK STRAITS NEXT QUESTION

Strong Objection League Control to (By Associated PrMS) LAUSANNE, Dec. 1L The question of how control of the Turkish straits will be administered whether through some body under the League of Nations or under some international unit wholly separated from the league is being generally asked by members of the Near East conference delegations which have no representatives among ' the military and naval experts who , are now discussing the straits prob lem Informally with the Turks. Inasmuch as Russia, Turkey and America ' are not members of the League of Nations there would doubtless be strong objection to any plan to make control of the straits a league anair. Lord Curzon has only once alluded to a plan for the administration of the waterway and then only in the most indefinite' way, saying that it had not been decided whether regulation of the straits 'would be placed under the league or some other organization. Reds Denounce Leaaue. Ismet Pasha and his Turkish asso ciates are a little more friendly to the league Idea than are Foreign Minister Tchitcherin and the other BOlshevik leaders, who denounce it at every opportunity, decliring that the organization of nations is useless, inasmuch as the United States does not "belong. Although some of the French delegates have been striving hard to get the conference to declare a Christmas holiday, the organizations are in such an uncertain state that Lord Curzon and many other delegates regard a long vacation as undesirable. It now seems unlikely that there will be a cessation of the discussions for longer than Christmas day, unless it is possible to sign some sort of a tentative agreement or protocol before that time.

Ranck was chosen by a county committee, as the one most deserving of the Wayne county club members of the reward, which is given for excellence in club work. A "stunt night" was one of the features of entertainment for the hundreds of club members while they were in Chicago, said Robert. All club representatives gathered In the Y. M. C. A. hotel lobby, where various teams composed of their own members staged several features of an evening's entertainment. Burlesque live Btock judging was one of the features of the entertainment, toy cows being used for the club members to exercise their skill upon. All club groups assembled every day In the Y. M. C. A. hotel lobby, and after being divided Into groups, were taken to various points of interest about the city. "We all went to the show the first day," said the Wayne county boy, "were shown over the stock yard3, and then left to ourselves to look over the stock show in the afternoon. On Tuesday we visited the Swift packing plant were given luncheon there and ate dinner at the Wilson packing plant. ' "We visited the Montgomery Ward and company house on Thursday, and the United States cold storage warehouse, the biggest in the world. We had been taken to Marshall Fields, and Lincolnpark on Wednesday. "Indiana had the second largest bunch of club members there, Iowa being the biggest. We had about 120 and Iowa 130. There were about 90 boys and girls in the Indiana bunch. Illinois was third largest Memorize Songs, Yells "On the way up from Lafayette the leaders gave us sheets of paper with the yells and songs, and we learned them while on the train. Then when we, were going around Chicago we sang or yelled whenever we had any waits. We had a special electric train which took us down to the stock yards or other places on the elevated every morning. "We all were taken to see the Board of Trade, and the. Field museum, too; and on Tuesday evening we went to the movies at the Chicago theatre. Another group of us got to attend the Cort theatre another evening." Ranck was given the opportunity of making the trip because of his pig club work of this year, which won him the state Chester White pig club championship award at the Indianapolis state fair. Although only 13 years of age, an eighth grader of the Stephens school, south of Centerville, he was a member of the club and won honors last year, being one of the four county champions who were awarded silver cups.

FIVE REASONS WHY CHURCH IS INDISPENSABLE TO MAN PRESENTED BY REV. C. M. WOODMAN

Five reasons. why the church Is val-! uable to the individual in his personal life were presented and discussed by the Rev. Charles M. Woodman, pastor of the West Richmond Friends church, in the secpnd of his three sermons on the general subject of "Church Attendance, which he delivered to a capacity ' audience , at - the church Sunday j morning. The subject of the sermon was "The Value of the Church to the Individual in His Personal Life." The Epeaker summarized the reasons why people do not go to church, as taken from a number of printed interviews with non-church-goers issued recently, as those which are purely personal, those which claim that the church does not minister to the needs of the individual, and those which as sert that the ministry does not adapt the message to the needs of the people. He stated that the general attitude of those who do go to church is to offer a rebuttal of tese reasons, instead of attempting to offer the con structive reasons why the church is a valuable asset to the individual in hi3 personal life and his social rela tions. The speaker devoted his time in his sermon to presenting the rea sons why the church is valuable to the individual in his personal life re serving the discussion of the social phases of the subject until next week.

Republican representatives in the state legislature were urged by Governor McCray today to work in harmony in the January session and preserve their 52 to 48 margin over the Democrats. Any insurgency, any factional strife, the governor warned, will throw control of the session to the Demo crats and jeopardize Republican party policies. The governor was more emphatic in this respect than he was to state sen ators who met at his call some time ago, because the senators had a "safe" working majority. To the representatives, as he had done with the senators, .McCray cau tioned against abolishment of three state bodies approved by the G. O. P. and endorsed by him. Bodies To Retain. The tax board, highway commission and public service commission are an integral part of the state government he said and must be retained. There is already a movement among the law makers to wipe out the three commisions. Aside from these matters, McCray was prepared to ask the representatives to appropriate more money for removal of the reformatory from Jeffersonville to Pendleton, to levy a tax on gasoline, to amend the law which provides the state fair grounds cannot be bonded for improvement, to enact a law classifying motor busses as common carriers and placing them .under state regulation and to eliminate tax exempt securities.'
