as there is in the northwest for the pur-
pose. and a strip of ground to the south
west where the young women hope to see
a woman's hotel erected in the near future
About the building there was a babble OF
noise Thursday morning as the women pre-
pared to receive. Some shouted orders like
old-time building contractors; others mar
shalled their forces and attacked piles OF
cement, plaster and shavlngs X a fire
brigade; some rubbed glass until II gHs-

some strange prearranged plan huns

Just stop and consider for one minute
what has made the eastern farmer his
money. What has enabled him to move to
tow and build fine houses? Has 1t been
what ne has raised and dug out
of the ground? No, indeed. 1t has been
the raise in the value of the land he
bought ten OF fifteen years ago? Did you
ever know of a renter moving TO town
and building a fine house and did you
ever stop to reason out why he never
did? 1t was simply because he had no
lands to increase in value and make
him thousands of dollars while he slept.
To those who have no land we say, profit
by the experience Of your wealthy neigh
bors. COME TO DEUEL. COUNTY and
buy land for the price you are paying for
rent and In a few years you will be able
to move TO town and let the other fellow

Several tenets of the Bahais' belief are:

outline OF it's rise that Bahasm has but
recently been allowed to breathe the air of
freedom in its native land. The recent
Young Turk Overturning of things pOliti
cal in the Ottoman empire and the In
auguration of the new regime of liberal
ity and real liberation has been the Ba-
hais' day of favor. For half a century,
themselves prosecuted, their property
confiscated and their leaders in exile and
in prison, they have grown in numbers
more rapidly than the Christians under
the early Roman prosecutions. In the
same year In which some western re-
lgious enthusiasts predicted the coming
of the Christian millennium "a. d. 1S44D
appeared the beginning Of this dynamic
movement in the decadent orient in the
ancient home of the Parsee, the Islamic
land of the shah.
It's force has been faith in a prophet.
that he correctly explained the sacred
writings of the Bible, Koran and Zend
Avesta as to the coming of ''manifesta-
ton of divine love and truth that should
deliver the oppressed people of Persia and
of every land from all conditions of
tyranny and that the prophet was that
manifestation" and therefore his words
were the latest and best In religion. The
grim tragedy of the Bahais has been that
thousands have died by cruel torture for
their freedom should be soon celebrated
for Persia and the whole world.
The chief inspiration and real romance
also of this movement is found in the fact
that from the inhabited receSses of the
guarded prison cell of the eXiled scholar
and leader there issued through the years
learned messages of hope and confidence,
borne over hundreds of leagues by faith
full couriers on foot. in peasants garb.
They were assurances that in due
time. '.in the day of Cod" the liberal
spirit would rise and that Persia should
have real freedom. that Ottoman should
be regenerated and that all the world
would rejoice in the gratifying result.
If the writings and life of Count
Tolstoi may be said to have been a
force in awakening the modern demo-
cratic spirit in autocratic Russia. much
more 50, the Bahais claim, may 1t be
correctly said that the writings and
life of BAHIA o'llah. imprisoned for his
faithful expression of his opinions, were
the chief force that awakened the mod
ern democratic spirit in Persia, the spirit
that constrained the shah in alarm to
guard his Kingdoms constitutional gov
ernment few years ago. The words
of one man in prison proved a mishtier
force than the power of the shah or the
sultan.
In 1911, in Persia, the Molahs. the con-
trolling and corrupt Shiite clergy, sud-
denly became disturbed by the restless
