Kuhlman and he was on his way from San Francisco to Buffalo. Monday morning he became more rational and told an entirely different story from that of the train men. He said that while in California he had the contract of standing in the centre of the world and holding up the four corners of the uni verse with his hands. He was doing his duty right manfully when a terrible explosion took place and an overturned mOun- tain fell directly on his head

 tors of this bank it was decided to establish a branch bank at Holbrook. and bank furniture and books were ordered at that time. This matter was kept quiet and 1t was only d few days ago that the managers gave the Holbrook people notice of the contemplated move. Both Presi- dent Burbage and Vice President Nelson of the Navajo County
 Bank were in Holbrook during the week, and full arrangements have been made for a stone build ing to be put up in a short time.
 This will give the, new bank a permanent home and the quar- ters they are first to occupy will then be vacated. MT. Lloyd C.. Henning will have charge of the bank here, and as he IS so well

The people of the Salt River Valley are right up and coming in a good roads movement This is something that should be en- couraged and helped along in every way.

To this is the added comfort of an easy con- science over needed work well done

County Surveyor, Art Saun- ders, has been busy during the week locating corner stakes for the various property owners in HolbrOOk. It IS expected that there will be number of new houses going up during the com ing summer. There is quite a de mand for houses to rent and a number of families have been un- able to locate here just for the reason that they could not find houses to be rented. It looks like it would be a paying pro, position for some one to put uI a few cottages just for the pur pose Of renting to persons deslri ous of living here.

STRANGE BELIEF OF VEDDAS
Seek by Offerings of DeIicacies to
Propitiate Spirits of Their
Dead Kindred.

DR.. c. G. Stiliman, writing in Travel
and Exploration, throws some inter
esting light on the beliefs and super
stitions of the Veddas, the strange
hill tribes and cave jewellers of Cey-
lon: although there is no clearly
formulated idea of death contagion,
the rapidity with which all Veddas
leave the place where a death has oc-
Cured, and avoid it for years, shows
that some evil quality is associated
with dissolution. According to most
Veddas, the spirit of every dead man,
woman or child becomes a 'yaka'
plural 'yakuO within a few days aft
er DEATH Some Veddas, however, say
that when ordinary folk die they cease
utterly, and that a surviving part,
which becomes yaka, exists only in
the case of especially strong energet-
ic or skilled men, who have shown
their strength of char9 ter in this
world, or who have had e power of
calling the yaku during their life
time. y
Since each Vedda community con-
sists of a small number of families.
usually related by blood and marriage,
the yaku of the recent dead-called
collectively the ne yaku-are sup
posed to stand toward the surviving
members of the group in the light of
friends and relatives, who. if well
treated, will continue their loving
kindness to their survivors. and only
if neglected will show their disgust
and anger by Withdrawing their as
sistance or even becoming actively
hostile. Hence. it is generally consid-
cred necessary to present an Offering
to the newly dead, usually within a
week OF two of death. This offering
must consist of cooked rice and cocoa
nut milk. and food that every Vedda
esteems above all other. but betel
leaves and areca nuts are often added.
I'm each community there is one
man called 'kapurale,' or 'dugganawa,
who has the power and knowledge
reouisite to call the yaku, and this
man calls upon the yaka Of the recent
~ dead man to come and take the
offering. The yaka comes, and the
kapurale becomes possessed by the
yaka of the dead man. who speaks
through his mouth in hoarse. cultural
accents. stating that he approves the
offering. and will assist his kinsfolk
in hunting. and often definitely indi-
eating the direction in which the next
hunting party should go. lone or more
OF the near relatives may also become
possessed. Soon after the spirit
leaves the kapurale the rice is eaten
by the assembled folk"

This is the most vital part of the

That there is much evil in connection
with the theater, much that is low, coarse,
base and disgusting, no good man will
question; but the purpose of every good
citizen should be not to try to abolish the
theater, which is impossible, inasmuch as it
is an integral factor in our civilization.
Every good citizen should exercise dis
eliminating, conscientious judgment in
patronizing the drama. Everything that
deals with human passions, like music and
oratory and poetry and art, may be and
has been abused, and every abuse of it
should be condemned and denounced.

Laundry work at home would bo
much more satisfactory If the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, it is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind a paste of varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance. but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trou-
BILE can be entirely overcome by using
Defiance Starch. as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
or strength than other makes.

1t is the destiny of this country to be
the greatest of wealth producers, and to
become a world power among the nations
of the earth. 1t is well and proper that
we should produce wealth. 1t is natures
reward for conquering her. The Indian,
before white men came to these shores,
showed unftness to remain in control of
the continent. He produced nothing; he
left the world less than it had when he
came. No man is worth while unless he
creates something While we have the great
est opportunity to create wealth, therein
lies our greatest danger
