TELEPHONE-TELECRAPH
Line NEAR COMPLETION

Mr.. and Mrs. Jas. Weston were
In town Thursday, and Mr.. Weston
informed the editor that the tele-
phone-telegraph line was almost COM
pleted from Burns to Vale and that
the new switch board would be in
stalled here next week.
The company has secured the COM
mercial business in the interior and
a telegraph service has been INSTALL
ed here and at Burns, thus giving
direct commercial connections to all
points. The service is modern in
every detail and will give the public
the best service that has ever been
throughout this section.
We also understand n line will be
constructed to the Barren Valley,
Beulah and connections made with
Drewsey in the near future. The
local board will be in charge of Miss
Ursula Rachow, and efficient service
is assured.
This complete line originated In
the mind of Mr.. Weston when he first
started the local system here and de-
spite all difficulties and drawbacks,
he new sees the relization Of his ear
ly dreams, and is to be highly COM
plimented on the successful carrying
out OF his plans, and the establish
ment of such n system.

making possible the others is the
humble walk with God. You may
rail at the pretender, the hypocrit,
but you cannot gainsay my conten-
ton: That he who walks with God
is the highest type of manhood that
is known to earth.
To establish a relationship with
God which is continuously pleasing
to him is to encircle every noblest
attribute and deed among men.
These three elements of religion

Is the Righteousness that exalteth a

Believing that the churches of On
tario represent the organized effort
for Righteousness, 1 am made to ask,
are the churches failure?
II is said that the function of the
church is three-fold: 1. To con-
vert sinners. 2. To edify believ-
ers, and 3. To stir and improve
community life. Is the church fail
ing?
These FIVE questions we're sent to
81 men for their answers:
1. Are the churches OF today fail
ing? II no wherein are they failing?
2. What is the legitimate pro-
vince of the pulpit?
3. Are the churches and pastors
meeting the present spiitual needs?
4. In what way can we better
serve the needs OF the people7
8. Why are 80 many people In
different TO christianity and the
claims OF the church?
Answers:
I'VE think that the church of to-
day In filling long felt need and Is
not falling as 30 many seem to think.
and that the churches and pastors
are the best possible means for the
developement or the best moral con-

BY A BURNS GIRL

Burns,--Miss Kate Pick, the
daughter of Catlow valley rancher,
living some 100 miles from here, is
being held by the authorities tn
Burns on charge of having shot
Frank McBurney homesteader who
lived near by.
The father of the girl was away
last Saturday and according to re-
ports, McBurney was an unwelcome
suitor of Miss Picks, and attempted
to press his suit during the absence
OF the father. The girl Is alleged
to have shot him Ave times with a

mingle with the people and learn
their needs, and preach a practical,
every day religion, and that the
church must learn to quit condemn
ing young people because they love
worldly amusements, and be willing
to allow them to chose social amuse-
ments for themselves, and that
christian peolpe do not live their re-
ligion seven days In the week, but
have Sunday religion"
The answers TO the questions are
many and varied. II was amusing
TO note the pessimism manifested by
some and the optimism by others.
Some condemned people for not liv-
ing their religion every day. and they
uphold the idea thet they should be
allowed to 40 into questionable
places OF amusement. "Consisten-
cy. thou art a Jewell" They for
get that the Bible says. "love not
the world, neither the things of the
world. and III you love the world the
love OF the Father Is not In you"
They also forget that the Bible tells
us. that they who revcl hath mo part
In the Kingdom OF God" and that re-
yelling Is classed with all other class
es OF sin, such as theft. murder. adul-
try. etc. We all know that the mod
ern amusements are forms OF revel-
Ing which is condemned In the Word
Of God, and the unsaved and the
worldly christian who cannot decern
the things OF God and presume to
tell US how we must live and then
turn and condemn those who claim
o be christians for doing those things
because they don't live their religion

May Be Called Upon to
Abandon It's Feeling of
Friendliness Towards all

BY ASSOCIATED PRESS

Washington, Feb. 24.--Great Britain
has submitted to her allies, France and
Russia all proposals made by the
United States designed to end the
menace to neutral commerce arising
from retaliatory measures OF European
belligerents toward each other.
The American proposals. which were
submitted both to Great Britain and
Germany, seek the elimination by Ger
many Of the recently prescribed war
zones, and adoption by all belligerents
of a definite policy as to shipments OF
foodstuffs to the civilian population OF
their enemies.
Preliminary observations OF Amer1-
can diplomats abroad are said to give
encouragement of the acceptance OF the
planS by both Great Britain and Ger.
many, but neither nations final atti-
tude Is yet determined.
Strong opposition, which other neu-
trails have assumed toward retaIiatory
measures of helligerents, is said to be
playing q considerable part in the sit
uation.
There is no concealment OF feeling
in high official circles here that IL the
present tension over the attitude OF
the belligerents continues and any
American lives are proved to have
been lost as the result of their activi-
ties, the Washington government may
be called upon to abandon its attitude
of friendliness toward all the warning
powers.
