Coming to the Lomo tomorrow the

Unto Herself Alone" Out of the
chaos of unreasoning desire-out from
the blackness of selfish interest,
came the Law Giver and wrote in the

read, Thou Shalt Not. And MAJ
took up the cry and sent it ringing
down the centuries, and he was given
to see more clearly; the words took
on increased force, until they became
the inflexible dictum of an uncompro-

SEE LARGE METEOR.

Hickory, Miss, May 19.-Last night
about midnight as four gentlemen OF
this place were coming through
Chunky swamp, meteor threw flash
of light as bright as day into their
face and scared them almost as badly,
perhaps, as did the mysterious light
which surrounded Paul on the road
to Damascus. Two of the men, who
by the way are candidates, were in a
very dark and lonely part of the
swamp, and thought they were about
to be held up by highwaymen when
the light flashed all around them.
Then they. saw the meteor falling
through the trees not more than one
hundred feet away apparently. One
of the men said he thought the world
was coming to an end, while another
said perhaps the Germans had his adj

METHODIST MEETING
CONTINUE TO DRAW
THE SERVICES TO BE CONDUCT
ED BY REV. DAN E. KELLY
THIS AFTERNOON.

The evangelistic services at the
Main Street Methodist church, being
conducted by the Rev Dan Z. Kelley
are growing in interest and widening
in influence. Two prayer meetings
are being conducted this afternoon
one for women in the church at 4
O'Clock and the other for men at the
| Citizens Bank at o'clock.
Mr.. Kelley preached last night on
1.-The Other Fool" using for a text the
parable of the "Rich Fool in the
twelfth chapter of st. Luke. He stat
ed that the rich man of the text had
many excellent qualities, even having
good sense on everything but eternal
things. He was good business man.
| thoughtful man, an industrious man
and very successful man. But he
had left God out of his life and bust
ness and just when he was planning
for larger success and pleasure God
said unto him, Thou fool, this night
shall thy soul be required of thee"
The preacher appealed earnestly and
strongly to those of the large congre-
cation present to give God chance,
to turn their talents to the service of
God and men, hence, becoming wise in
the true sense There was one who
surrendered his life to Christ for sal
walton.
Tn morning hour today was largely
devoted to praise and thanksgiving for
Gods goodness and mercies, also,
prayer for the salvation of the I'M
safed. Many of those present took
part in the service. The preacher de-
livered an earnest sermon to the !
church, urging greater conservation |
and more faithful service.
Several have joined the church dur
ing the revival. Tonight the services
twill be of special interest and big |
crowd is expected to be present and |
hear the evangelist. Services tomor- |
row at 10 a. m and 7:45 p. m Every

The Hague, Netherlands, May 10
via London.-Berlin newspapers as a
| rule refrain from comment on the
American note to Germany. The
| Tageszeitung, however, says:
THE United States makes the brus.
que demand that Germany abandon
the submarine war against Great
Britain. The United States regards
with complete disdain the German
war zone declaration communicated to
Washington on February 4, and later
in the course of the exchange of notes,
disapproves as a surprising irregular
lty' the German embassy's warning in
the press, and permits itself to i'm
pute to the German government as an
excuse the probability that German
submarine commanders acted contrary
TO orders.
Whoever reads this note without
prejudice can scarcely escape the i'm
preston that the British ambassador
at Washington was not far away when
it was framed. One could equally as
well imagine it's contents to be a
speech by Premier Asquith in the
House of Commons"
Count Won Reventlow, the naval crit
ic, declares the German war zone
declaration followed the British decla-
ration against which America failed
to protest.
"The present note, so far as con
Germs torpedoed steamers, makes Eng
lish conclusions and untrue statements
its own" he writes.
Germany knew what she was doing |
when she made her decision and had |
considered all possible consequences. |
Germany must and will go her way |
and leave it to the United States to
choose other ocean paths than those |
through the war zone, if American cit
zens have desire to visit Europe in
hese times, and observe how Ameri-
an war materials are prolonging the

RUN INTO RICH BODY ORE AT

Jim Hamilton is up from Port Wells and reports that during the summer he and his associates run more than one murdered feet of tunnel on their properties. One of their claims in Piggott Bay, they extended the tunnel claims. When the lead was encount- ing the ore body. Fifty feet of tun- nel had been driven last year on the claims. When the lad was encount- cred the miners drifted on the ore a distance of thirty feet. The lead has a uniform width of eighteen inches, and gave values of $52 per ton with the ore getting richer as depth was gained. Samples taken from the face when the miners quit work assayed $76 per ton. The tunnel gave a depth of more than one hundred feet below the surface showings and Ham, ilton now believes that they have a NhiSh VIII pStOlIt DfS cer when fully opened up. The ledge matter is different from anything ever before encountered in the Port Wells district, as it is soft and can easily be picked from between the walls and pans freely without being mortised.
 Hamilton, Tatum and the Irwin Brothers also have done considerable development work on the extension of the Granite veins in Hobo Bay. They confined their efforts to trying to discover new leads and did not work on ore bodies found last sum- mer, from which some of the richest specimens ever seen in Valdez were taken from the surface. The work this year failed to develop anything of a startling nature, but the miners be- 1ieve that they are sure to encounter big body Of ore when the tunnel has tapped the surface showing for which they were running.-Valdez Miner.

IROTARIANS HAVE
CHRISTMAS RIOT
Everybody Took Part; Provide
1OS Baskets For Needy
...... Families ....

The Harrisburg Rotary Club held
what it termed a Christmas party at
the Public Library last evening. In
reality 1t was near-riot; but withal
very sood-humored near-rfot, and
1t was such q success that the MEM
oers voted unanimously to have an
other next year. President Arthur D.
Bacon presided. That is, he made an
effort to preside. and sometimes he
did, but more often he didn't. 1t was
anybody's meeting. and everybody took
advantage of it.
The beautiful lower hall. of &he
library was hung in Christmas green's
and Christmas trees adorned the posts
and corners. As the members came in
they deposited each a gift on the plat
form occupied by the president. Later
IN the evening these gifts were dis
trlDuted, not by name, but by lot, and
they consisted of anything that hap
pened to strike the fancy of the Ro-
tartan purchasing it as inappropriate
Tor grown man. The articles varied
from dainty articles of female lingerie.

ceiVed little later in the evening. to

Many of the members had guests and
each guest was presented with Christ
mas candy and souvenirs by President
Bacon, while Rotarian Hershey, of the
Hershey Creamery Company, gave
everybody present a handsome cal
endar.
But the Rotarians did more than
have a good time. Members to the
number of 10S brought to the meet
ing well-tilled Christmas baskets, and
these will provide Christmas cheer in
