SPIRITISM SAID "

forth with Bible proofs that the com.

The writer traces his subject through
the Scriptures from the time when
certain of the holy angels became dis
obedient He proves from the Scrip
lures that these fallen spirits per.
senate the human dead, with whose
past history. spirits, though invisible,
are thoroughly acquainted. He shows
that they also frequently person
ate the Creator and the Redeemer,
commanding their deceived ones to
pray, do penance, etc. This. however,
Is merely to lead them on and to bring
them more thoroughly under demoni-
acal control. Sometimes by breaking
down the natural barrier, the human
will, they possess their victim. and rule
him more or less to his ruin-frequent-
ly sending such to the mad-house

Locals PLAY in Tough Luck

Loal baseball critics are pondering
on problem that last Fridays game
presented them. They do not know
whether TO write back to Alabama and
secure shipment of rabbit feet, the

tributed to the members of the local
team or to turn loose and roast warm
spots on the said ball players. The
game was lost by numerous errors. de-
spite the fact that every member of
the team played pretty good ball in
spots. Gill and Franz formed the local
battery and but about four hits were
allowed the visiting Portland Colts,
who, however, won the game by a
score of 6 to 5. The score stood to 5
until the ninth inning. Fred Askew,
who with Pete Shively umpIred the
game, says the score ought to have
been 0 to 0. declaring that neither
team earned a run.
The lineup was Tate, first base

PARCEL POST
CUTS EXPRESS
PROFITS HEAVILY

The parcel post is making such in
roads on the business of the express
companies, says President B.. D. Cald-
well of Wells Fargo & Co, that the
action of the Interstate Commerce
Commission in ordering a reduction in
rates of from IL to Is percent, effec-
tive next February 1, may seriously
impair his concerns ability to earn a
fair return for its stockholders or give
proper compensation to its employees.
This statement was made in the an
nua1 report to the stockholders yes
terday, which proved to be one of the
most unsatisfactory, from the stand
point of earnings, in the history of the
organization.
!. But for the parcel post, President
Caldwell said the total gross earnings
of the year would have been $1,25O, 900
greater, which would have been re-
fected in the net earnings. He ex-
poets further inroads upon the com
pany's business as a result of the ex-
tension in weight limit and reduction
Gently made by the parcel post. Presi-
dent Caldwell added:
THE company is now confronted
with the most difficult problem in its
history as result of the radical re-
duction in its rates ordered by the
Interstate Commerce Commission.
Many of the new rates are lower than
LnOS0 OF the parcel post.
reached by their application to ac-
tuaI business of typical days indicate
from II to Is per cent. reduction in
the company's rates as a whole. To
offset such a loss in gross earnings
would require an increase of business
over present carvings of at least Is
per cent.
TT is impossible to foretell, with any
exactness, what the outcome will be
upon the company's revenue. It is
clear, however, that unless as re-
suit of radical reduction in rates there
is an extraordinary increase in bust
ness, and this is accompanied by a
substantial decrease in the ratio of
expense through methods not here
tofore available, the net earnings must
be seriously affected
All of the other express companies
have recently reported large decreases
in earnings because of the Govern
ment's competition.
The Wells Fargo Company has
surplus of $6,673, 62a, which is equal
to about Is per cent. Of its entire
outstanding capital stock. It has been
paying dividends at the rate of 10 per
cent. It's income from its invest
ments alone amounts to over per
cent on it's capital stock. ) {&-]

BEST GUARANTEE
FOR BABY'S HEALTH

Washington, Nov. 14.-With Saving
the babies as it's slogan, the American
Association for the study and Proven
ton of Infant Mortality met here to-
day in its fourth annual convention
Dr. J. w. Schereschewsky of Wash
ington, D. c., declared that the most
significant phenomenon in connection
with mortality of infants was the great
increase in deaths during summer
months.
This Increase ne said, "is most
marked in countries where the winters
are cold and the summers hot. The
great mortality of infants can be ex-
planned by three hypothesis only. The
infants are killed, first, by the heat,
second by the action of stale or dirty
milk, and the contain ed bacteria, and
lastly by specific infections"

TO WIGGLE. AT
LECTURE

Real snakes of the deadly rattler
brand will wriggle across the stage OF
the Hawaiian Opera House next Sat
urday night, when Mrs. Edward H.
Hemp and her husband give their lee
ture on the famous snake dance, OF
the Hopi Indians. The seat plan for
the lecture has already been opened
at the rooms of the promotion COM
mittee which is boosting the lecture
with all it's might.
Every one has heard of the Hopi
Indians. They are one of the strong.
est of the races left on the big Ameri-
can continent, totally unlike the other
red men and apparently more allied
with the Aztec of Mexico than with
the natives of the plains Of Arizona
and New Mexico. Their native arts
have attracted the attention of scien-
lists the world over. but the most
curious thing about them is the an
nual snake dance of which much has
been written, but little pictured before
this. 49, d.
The snakes are gathered by the
young braves of the tribe, and con-
trary to the general belief are not de-
prived of their poison fangs, nor
drugged before they are used in the
snake dance, which Is religious in its
character.
The pictures showing the snake
dance were taken by Mr.. Kemp who
is a master of his craft, and are
reckoned among the best of their
kind ever shown. Mr.. Kemp is
graduate of two famous London art
schools and although he is photo
grapher by profession has brought his
trade" out of the purely mechanical
almost into the realm of high art. In
addition to the claims made for the
pictures from the view point of mere
passing interest they are said to be
