PARLIAMENT IN
CRITICAL SESSION
Home Rule, Equal Suffrage and
DiSeStabIiShment Bills Will
Be Considered.

LONDON, March 10.-With pompous
ceremonies. the 1918 session of parlia-
ment was opened today by King George.
Although the program for the session is
of unusually meager dimensions, the
next few months may see critical de-
velopments.
One of the most important measures
to come before parliament is the home
rule bill. While the bill was passed by
the house of commons at the last ses-
sion. II failed to pass the lords. Under
the veto bill the home rule measure
may be enacted into law by being
passed by three consecutive sessions of
the house of commons, irrespective of
any action which may be taken on it by
the house of lords. Should it be passed
during the present session and at the
next session by the commons it will
become law automatically.
Another measure is the universal
franchise bill Chancellor David Lloyd
George promised the women that a bill
granting suffrage would be introduced
in the present session and the chances
for its passage are good.
Another bill which will be acted upon
during the present session is the dis
establishment bill. reducing the hold
ings of Welsh church, which has grown
enormously rich through its hereditary
right.
Scotland Yards took strict precau-
tions to prevent militant suffragettes
from entering parliament galleries. A
guard was maintained around the king
to prevent militant women from ap-
preaching him. It was not known what
plans the women had made and care
was taken by the police to be ready for
anything.

The cultivation of so much land ad-
jacent to Loomis will prove a great
boon to that town, and added to the
natural charm of it's location will
make it one of the most attractive
little cities in the state.
Jack Mclaughlin is the keeper of a
mystery that he can't solve and which
he wants someone to take from him.
Having been subjected to a number of
petty thefts recently he decided to Sc
cret some of his possessions in the
oven of an old range that he has had
stored in his building back of the
Crescent cafe for several months.
When he opened the oven and peered
into the range he discovered a roll of
cloth that proved to be several pieces
of female and child's wearing apparel.
Jack can think of no explanation for
the peculiar cache He would like to
have the mystery solved, but most of
all he wants somebody to take away
the goods.

the church at II O'clock The ser

time in Israel The religious life
Of the people had sauk 10 very low

safety the people had fed TO the city
of Jerusalem, thinking that behind ATS
massive walls they wmliri be SECURE.
AT this point the prophet appears and
tells them that strong walls will not
save them: nothing but righteous men
win save them
Thte pastor said the message is
true for us today The safety OF our
nation is not ia armies and fleets and
material resources. but in the right
eousness Of les people This nation
cannot stand any better than any in
the past unless II has righteousness
men and women to save her. The
preacher then spoke of the relation
of any order of men to the church.
II Is the relation OF the pool to the
spring. The pool dies OF unless ii IL
fed BY the spring.
The church Is the spring from
which flows the water Of life. AS a
proof the preacher cited the fact that
no order founded upon brotherhood,
which means sincere, has ever -four
ished in a land when the church Is
not to be found. The preacher then
