Pixies Peak Not the Highest.

What is the highest mountain in
Colorado? pixies Peak" nineteen
persons out of twenty will answer,
and incorrectly. The twentieth may
know the two highest mountains in
the state are Mount Massive and
Mount Ebert, both in Lake county,
in the Leadvi1le district. The altitude
Of each Of these mountains, accord
ing to the United States Geological
Survey, is 14,402 feet above sea leYel.
The height of Pixies Peak is 14,108
feet. Moreover, there are fifty Or
sixty other peaks in Colorado approx
imately as high-over $4,000 feet.
The lowest point in Colorado is 1850
feet above sea level. Of all the
states Colorado has the. highest aver
age altitude, estimated by the Geo
logical Survey at $500 feet.
Although not the highest mountain,
Pixies Peak is probably the best
known peak in the United States.
There was at one time weather bu-
reau station on its summit, and it
now has substantial railway sta
ton at the terminus of the highest
railway line in North America. It
can also be reached by an excellent
wagon road and trail which connect
the summit with Colorado Springs.

Plantation Paraarap1s.

L. l.. Minuet, the general director
of the plantations owned by. the
Colonial Sugars Company in ST. James
and Ascension parishes, report several
changes effective for the new year
in the fields under his direction. n.
J. Bergeron, field marshall of the
Mt. Houmas plantation, in Ascension,
has been transferred to the Golden
Grove plantation, succeeding Napo-
leon Roberts, and FL. Leblanc, for
merry of the Bourbon plantation, in St.
James, has been employed to take
the management of Mt. Houmas. On
the two other plantations owned by
and David, the respective managers,
P. H. Breaud and Stark L. Davis, re-
main in charge.
The Miles Planting Company's
Houmas central, in Ascension parish,
enjoyed one of the best campaigns
Npf the year, for its crop was SO fair.
ais tWo-thirds normal. The tonnage
PUT through the. mill was 10000, Of
which all but $500 tons came from
the firms own lands. AS told by the
general manager, c. S. Mcfarland,
this outside cane was received from
numerous small farmers IN the in
terror of Ascension, in the New RiV-
CT country, where ii is expected, with
the holding of as much land in cane
for 1913 as was cultivated in 1912,
and an average outturn, the next
crop should total from 10000 to ~
600 tons. These crops are brought to
the Houmas mill over the company's
,1,
parallels and is distant about two
miles from the Belle. Helene factory
railway that also reaches into the
interior.
The 10000 tons disposed of the
past season at Houmas central,
stated Mr.. Mcfarland, was deficient
about 20 per cent from their first
of September estimate, and in view
of the shortcomings of the year this
would seem to be unusually close.
AS to the plant cane yield on the
group of plantations, there was little

showing up to the potion mark. Dur
ing October, following the receipt Of
a two-inch rain the end of September,
there was marked growth In the
cane all of the month, and this
proved bad as it happened, for the
effect of the early freeze of Nov. 3,
that went to 20 degrees. was the
most severely felt on account of the
canes yerdancy, and resulted in no
improvement in the sugar content
being noted from the start of grind
ing to the finish. The cane in the
front lands showed little effect from
the cold, thanks to the protective
influence of the river, but in the
back lands the cold was worse felt.
In accordance, the average analysis
of the crop for the season was given
by Mr. Mcfarland as being just about
los sucrose and IA to IS purity coef-
ficient From this the sugar OBJ
tainment averaged $50 pounds of o.
test, to which must be added the
thirds to be worked up later.
An idea of the difficulty Of the
conduct of the campaign in Decem-
Der, with the retarding rai<s to con
tend with, is had from Mr. McFar-
lands statement that in thirty work

Complaints Of Parcels post Service,

Necessarily, there will be friction
and complaints growing out of in
experience on the part of postal au-
thorities and shippers in dealing
with the new parcels post service. 1t
will require time to straighten out
the kinks, y to test out rates and
zones. and for shippers to familiarize
themselves with the proper methods
of packing the articles they may de-
sire to mail. Undoubtedly, the rates
for short distances have been placed
too high and ought TO be revised in
the interest of rural patrons, All
objections to the system will be over

Hence, revolving from the thought OF
the Chughis conauering the world py
sword and flame, by thnnb-sereW ana
rack and stake. the general mlscon-=
ceptfon turned to an expectation OF
conquering the world by the Gospel
Message. This second mistake IS not
SO serious in some respects as the hrsl
it does not involve horrible atrocities
in the name of God and the Savior
However. it is equally misleading as
respects the Truth. It sets aside the
Word of God and substitutes the hu-
man theory that the preaching OF the
GOSPEL is to convert the world. Inc
Divine Word is that che preaching OF
the Gospel is for the purpose of select
ing a Church TO I'D Messiah's 1oinG-
heirs in His Kingdom.
If the Church could convert ssssss
world with the Gospel, 1t would %
very fine. But it is surely absurd to SO
expect in the face Of our experiences OF
the past century and Of the plain state
ments of Gods Word to the contrary.
All see thar the world is not being con-
verified: and that If Christianity cannot
convert the people at home, it would
be vain for her to expect to convert
the heathen abroad. If great religious
ccnters such as London, Rome and
Washington are no nearer to having
Gods will done in them as 1t IS done
in Heaven, what hope would there pc
of better results in heathendon?
1 am not saying one word against
Foreign Missions God forbid! In pro-
portion as we are able to send the light
Of Truth into more benighted lands, let
US do So But, if possible, let US SEND
the True Light from Gods Word. And
let us trim our lamps that We our
selves may have that True Light ID
our favored land. What we urge is
that Christian people should come back
to the teaching of the Bible. In order
to do this, each denomination should
throw away its creedal spectacles,
which have injured the spiritual sight
of all of us. All true children OF Coo
should study afresh the Divine Chart.
which shows us where we are and the
Port for which we should strive.
Heirs of the Kingdom.
Thus doing. all is plain. The shad-
