The feldspar quarries in the United
States, with the exception of those in
California, are restricted to nine of
the eastern seaboard States. Most of
the feldspar mined in the Eastern
States Is Of the potash or the soda
variety or a mixture of the two, and
those varieties are used in the pottery
industry because after being melted
and cooled they form q glass. Field
spar of the lower grade is used as q
binder in making emery and corun-
dunn wheels, in manufacturing opales-
cent glass, as Q poultry grit, as . con-
stituent of roofing material, and for
surfacing concrete work. Small guam
titles of the purest grades of potash
feldspar are used in the manufacture
Of artificial teeth.-U. =. Geological

Leonard Hall Quintet too Fast for Baden.

Leonard Hall Quintet too Fast for Baden.
Last Saturday afternoon the Baden
High School aggregation appeared on
the floor Of the local boys gymnasium
for the first time this season. The
visitors had some difficulty en- route
in the way of q break in their bus from
Baden, causing them to arrive an
hour late.
The spectators, though impatient,
experienced no inconvenience thereby,
being supplied with warm waiting
rooms. Both teams were in good
form and were not strangers to each
other, as they had met once before
this season at Baden, the game result
ing in victory for Leonard Hall, II
TO 8. Saturdays game was played
according to the new Consolidated
Rule for 1916. Baden had a shade of
weight on the home team, but lacked
ability to handle themselves on n
smooth floor, as they are accustomed
to practice on a dirt floor.
At the sound of the whistle the game
was of with a fash, with Baden play
ing for u quick lead. The locals con-
tented themselves for the first quarter
with a close guard play and an occas-
ional basket. In the second quarter
they opened up q rapid fire on the
hoop net and completely ran away
from their opponents. Score at the
end of the first half: Leonard Hall,
%; Baden, I.
In the second period Baden played
much better, as they grew more fami-
liar with the floor, but were still I'M
able to hold their speedy opponents,
who continued the game as they had
begun it. Mr.. Referee was rather
careful of the players, not permitting
the least bit of roughness. Leonard
Hall, being used to the boys way OF
playing the game, was called sixteen
times for fouls by this rule. Baden
lost a good chance here by netting
FIVE out of the sixteen.
Stanard, for Baden, played a good
aggressive, while Ford and Duke, for.
ward, piled up a total of 81 points for
the home team. Final score, IL to Z.

We are authorized to announce
Mr.. D. w. Gott, of Buchanan

the Office of Superintendent Ut
Puolic Schools for Douglas
County, subject to the will of the
voters at the annual school
election April 9th, 1915.
Mr.. D. W. Colt whose an.
nouncement is above, was born in
Douglas County and has spent
most of his time here. He
43 years old and has been teach.
ng in this Co. for % years. He
has always been found among
the teachers attending the con.
ventions and is we'll known over
the county. Although we have
never meet him before, we feel
assured thai he is capable and
we'll qualified for the position
that he is seeking.

inform them that it was nothing
more nor less than religious
fanticism and persecution. Mr..
CARROTS doctrines are his own,

Government of the United
States. / have examined them
carefully ard also the files of his
paper and l will state that there
is not one word or syllable con-
tanned therein that any one
could take anv exception to, but
they are moral and elevating in
the highest degree. Mr.. Garrett
believes and teaches the plan of
Salvation as laid down in the
new Testament and as believed
and taught by all orthor dox
churches. The only difference
is they believe in what is called
the two man theory, that is that
God created man and women,
and afterward formed another
man and woman, and that these
represented the Jew and Gen.
tile races, and he has this
. doctrine copy righted: does that
sound like Free Lovism? and If
so is it possible that the govern.
ment is aiding and abetting the

Mr.. Garrett had beeL run out

Mr.. Editor I made a visit to
Benton County the first of Jan.

these people and no man pre-.
tended to say that he knew any.

pie. Mr.. Garrett lived there for
about two years preaching and
editing his paper. Why was he
not arrested if he was guilty of
this! Simply because be had
violated no law. Why, after
they had destroyed his press,
when he demanded an investiga-
ton and offered to pay the
expense out of his own pocket,
was this request not granted,

that there was 10 law for him!

destroyed his press, worth o0(

was the belief that one or two

in the night disguised anc

I soon learned that there was
plenty of game of all kinds and
not far to fishing, so l named

spent seventeen winters at this

had those facts printed in
a daily paper published in Pitts
burg, Pa.,"
We visited this place and
being in a spiritual or reli-
gious work we we'll remember
that the name Eden, especially
drew our attention.
This little piece of history fell
into our hands from an old bas'
ket of papers setting IN the
corner of Judge Lumkin's hall
after we had rented and moved
into the hall. Where they came
from we know not. Several of
the papers had Judge Fulker-
sons name on them. And now
we are back to the history OF the
Cresset once more.
The Cresset was published in
the LumKia Hal for some time,
While in this Hall we put out
our first book of creation and
FORMATION" And where our
lives were threatened by the
Catholics at Marys Home. for
putting out this book as it was
exposing some of the abomnable
things com mitted by them.
From here we moved to NldOn, a
| to wn a mile north. The Cresset
: went out from there as the
Worlds Cresset Here too, we
we're threatened to be mob bed
The outsiders claimed that WE
put out a paper which was head
ed, 1.-THE Loud Cry which was
printed at Battle Greek Mich
;gan. This was printed by the
Seven Day Advents, The protes
tants at this time concluded tha'
we ought not to live and succeed
ed in raising a mob. But JUS
at this time we condemned the
publication through the Cresset
Tnis saved US at that time. w.
The Cresset was published a.
Eldon for some time.
4 Then we moved back to Auror'
Springs, occupying q very larg'
Hall known as the Cooks Hall
Here again we had another igh
J for life with what should hav'
oeen our best and most intimate
friends. Here again the!
, threatened our lives anC tn
+ downfall of the Cresset. A fte
e a struggle and hard fgh
t for several years, we the
p moved to Lick Branch in MOI

remained at this place for some
time and then moved to
Feaster branch On the farm of
J. g Wilcox, who is still with US.
Here We undertook to make that
our permanent home, aud run
the Worlds Cresset,
Again we were confronted by
q great mob, this time by q mob
of 80 called preachers. who on
the night of September rs, 1897.
come ip mass and broke into our
o fiue and US sixty miles from
home. They first took s. G.
Merritt and others captive, put
ting them in front for fear some
one would meet them and kill
some Of theIa. They then
came to the door of our Office
and with sledge hammer broke
in and demolished the press.
type, and oil contents o. the
Office. This showed that those
so called preachers were not
even civilized. That they still
had that old barbarous and hea.
flemish nature in them, like the
avage in the forest or the lion
of the jungles. A christian man
or man civilized. would not be
caught doing things like that. If
a christian man found a man in
an error be would 60 to him in
the spirit of Christ. and try to
win him into the better life. If
he was q civilized man he would
show to him his civilization, by
his good deeds. If We were
violating any law why did they
not have US arrested and convict
US and then take our press and
sell it and give the proceeds to
the poorl The reason why was
because we had not violated any
law. So on account of their
heathenish nature they would
destroy it. This again caused
US sc move. We we're there
publishing the Cresset for two
years. But when this took place
we moved south, and stopped in
