A A NEW PETITION
IS CIRCULATED
ASKS CONGRESSMAN WALKER TO
FIGHT LAW SURPRISING
PUBLICATIONS.

The Valdosta Times has the follow
ing interesting story:
A petition directed toward aboli-
ton of the right of postmastefs to
stop publications from passing
through the mails is being circulated
through the city. 1t is attracting
considerable attention and creating
some very unfavorable comment, as
we'll.
The petition is addressed to Con
gresham ]. Randall Walker and
urges him to use his influence to
have this power recently conferred
upon all postmasters taken away
from them at once. OF course, fhe
petition is receiving some signat &res
and at the same time many people
fatty refuse to sign it. !.
Those who refuse generally do, so
upon the idea that the petition is
being circulated in the interest of
such papers as those published by
InOmaS r. watson and which were
recently refused delivery at several
postoifices. The final decision re-
garding the suppression of these
Watsonian publications is being
awaited each day, as the matter is
in the hands of Third Assistant Post
master General Dockery.
The idea prevails among many
people in Valdosta that this petition
which is now being circulated is in
the interest of such publications and
that these publications are seeking
to undermine the patriotism of the
people. For this reason signatures
are refused often.

THIS LAST DAY OF
NATIONAL GUARD
ALL STATE FORCES WILL BE
MUSTERED INTO AMERICAN
ARMY TOMORROW.

The national guard of all the states
will cease to exist as such after Sun
day, when the last of the militiamen
will be mustered into the American
army Already the militia organiza-
lions of the most of the states have
been federalized, leaving the forces
of only few of the western and
southwestern states to be mustered
in on Aug. 5. Thereafter there will
be no constitutional or other legal
barrier to the transportation of the
former guards organizations to Eu-
rope
So far as is known, no steps will
be taken in the different states to
form new national guard regiments
to take the place of those that have
entered the national service. In
some of the states arrangements are
talions which will be stationed al
regimental headquarters to care for
the military property of the state, to
fill gaps in the ranks of the drafted
units and to perform such other
military service as may be required
Although no official statement has
been issued in regard to the matter
the opinion prevails in military cir
Giles here that no time will be vast
ed in getting the former national
guardsmen to the war zone. Many of
the former militia regiments are as
thoroughly seasoned as the regular
troops, with whom they stared in
service on the Mexican border 1t is
expected that many of the infantry
regiments will be turned into artil-
lery units in Europe as has been the
case with the British and French
troops.
The transfer of the state militia or
CARNATIONS to the federal service has
been an enormous task owing to the
mass of necessary detail. Much of
the credit for its successful accom-
plishment belongs to Brig. Gen. Viii
liam A. Mann, whose official duties as
chief of the division of militia affairs
have kept him at his desk in the war
department twelve hours a day or
more during the past few weeks.

PREACHER FOUND DEAD
IN HIS BED At Iona

The news reached Langdon by
telephone at an early hour on Tues
day morning Of the death OF Rev.
Samuel Peterson, pastor of the Lu-
theran church at Iona. Deceased
was found dead in his bed by friend,
Creed Lane, at about half past eight
O'Clock. He had last been seen alive
at half-past nine o'clock the previous
evening by Mr.. Lane, who had called
to arrange for the trip the following
morning to Hampden, where Rev.
Peterson had intended to take the train
10 Northwood, where during a stay of
some length he planned to undergo
medical treatment in hospital. At
that time the deceased was apparently
in his usual health, although he had
not been really we'll man for several
months. The body indicated when
found that death had occurred during
the early part of the night, the end
having apparently come peacefully
while asleep. Rev. Peterson had
been the pastor in charge of the Lu.
theran church at Iona for three years
and was man of about thirty-fve
years old. He came to Iona from
Southern Minnesota where the funeral
will be held. The immediate relatives
include several brothers and sisters
who reside in Montana. Many Lang
don people had grown to know Rev.
Peterson quite intimately during the
past summer as he was actively iden-
titled with the movement to establish
a Lutheran church congregation in
this city.
Tuesday morning both States At.
torney Crimson and Coroner DR..
Stromberg went over to Iona and
made formal official inquiry into the
cause of the death of the reverend
gentleman.

Loan Campaign
Starts Saturday
Task Undertaken of Selling
100000 Worth of U. S.
Liberty Loan Bonds

On Monday forenoon the first steps
were taken in organization for the
sale of the second issue of Liberty
Loan Bonds in Cavalier county, the
campaign properly starting with the
meeting to be held in this city on
Saturday afternoon, when it is planned
to have delegation in attendance
representative of every township in
this county. The apportionment for
Cavalier county is 5000, 600 worth
of bonds, the share being about twice
the size of the total sales made in the
first issue in June, but the probability
of the undertaking is shown by the
way in which committee assignments
were taken up at the meeting, pre-
sided over Monday forenoon by Cashier
Archie Sillers, of the First State
Bank of Calvin. In fact the outlook
is that the mark that has been set for
Cavalier county will be passed by a
good margin, although the task is
twice as large as the one that con-
fronted the workers at the first issue
in June. This time the task is spread
out, there will be more helpers and
1T may be stated that the patriotic
atmosphere has become intensified
considerably by the happening of the
past three months-as result every
one lie feeling desire to do their bit
There is to be a squad of Liberty
Loan workers in every town, village
and township in the county, the men
picked out being seasoned campaigners
who have the work they have under
taken at heart.
The campaign is to start on Satur.
day of this week, October 18th with
big masa meeting to be held in Lang
don. This will be patriotic affair at
which many outside speakers will par

ticipate. The attendance at this meet
ing will include representation from

ticipate. The attendance at this meet
ing will include representation from
every section of the county.
The bonds to be sold are in de.
nominations of $50 to $40, 900. They
will draw four per cent interest, in.
stead of three and one-half per cent
as in the . ase of the first issue. They
are freed from taxation in any form
and another feature to be born in mind
is that they are negotiable as collat-
teral by the owner at any bank. The
buyer of bond is out nothing, there
is only the difference between the
prevailing rate of interest of about
eight per cent and the four per cent
that is earned by the bonds. This
can hardly be viewed by any fair
minded person at time like this to
be anything more than duty that one
owes to ones country, and will call
for little if any self sacrifice upon
the part of the buyer of the dond.
There will be no slackers- at the
meeting held here on Saturday the
18th inst, when the first gun of the
bond campaign is fired. Come to the
meeting prepared to do your bit.
Think how easy is your part compared
with that of the boys who have enlisted
for the war in Company E. or have
left their home with the draft and are
in training at Camp Dodge. With a
view of the matter like this it should
be no effort at all Forego some small
pleasure or luxury for short time
and be one of this county's patriotic
buyers of Liberty Loan Bond.

P|THY SAYINGS
 USED BY YATES

Speaking before an interested con- gregation yesterday morning. Rev. J. E. Yates, minister of the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, based most of his talk upon Filthy Paragraphs" by Ebert A. Smith. The most striking of these were as follows:
 The gospel has cure for sore hearts bWt it seems almost poWerless in the case of sore heads.
 Sam Jones used to say that some people think that they are preserved when in fact they are only pickled. And he added that when his old mother made preserves she always sweetened them
 If one habitually tries to be kind and forbeaIing, as the gospel requires, some people conclude that he was just naturally born that way and can't help it. But the chances are he could de- velop as much vinegar and vitrol as any one if he chose to do so.
 Of a Sunday Brother A remarked, ''I don't know whether to go to church or take a nap" And Sister A re- piled, Why not do both?" But she was by no means the first person to study out that combination.
 Sometimes the preacher is invited out to dinner and sits down to an over loaded table. His host insists that he shall eat long after his appetite is sat isfied. This should be a warning to him not to attempt to force long six course sermon upon an audience that at best is not very hungry.
 1t is strange how the old fear of the student and the dreamer persists. One is supposed to have his nose in a book. the other his head in the clouds. The clamor is for practical men. It may help us to recall that a schoolmaster sits in the White House and four fifths of the world looks to him for help and leadership. Across the water the visionary Welshman, David Lloyd George, is perhaps more powerful than any other man in shaping the destiny of Great Britain.
 Paul, possibly the greatest mission ary that ever lived, was a great student as well as a dreamer. He . could quote the Greek poets or mend a tent. He walked with composure and dignity up the slopes of Mars Hill and with equal ease took charge of a shin at sea in storm when the crew was Tn blue funk Joseph's brethern said, Behold this dreamer cometh. Later he administered the affairs ot Egypt. The truth of course is tha, these men were practical men-plus the dream, the study and the vision | And that is the kind of men we neeo in redeeming Zion.

of belief also necessarily change. mus the beliefs of general mortal mind may change, and the individual human mind reflects the change, but belleI cannot destroy belief. Only Truth can do that. So in order to have any ln- telligent conception of freedom from general or from personal false Dellefs. a man must gain an understanding or God as divine Mind, whose reflection IS spiritual man.
 It makes not the slightest difference what the personal belief of suffering may be, it is in every instance only specific form of the one common erroneous belief of life, substance, and intelligence in matter. Christian Scl- ence destroys this fundamental error of belief through the truth expressed in the Scriptural declaration The Lord he is God in heaven above, and upon the earth beneath; there is none else" To know that not matter but mortal mind forms the conditions of matter, begins at once to lessen the fear of disease. To know, further, that matter is itself only mental con- cept, and that both matter and mortal mind are negations or commercials of divine Mind and it's spiritual ideas or phenomena, destroys the foundations Il unreality, or nothingness, of mortal mind itself and therefore of its man. Hesitation, matter, demonstrates the omnipotence, the allness, of God.
 Since spiritual man, in the image of God, cannot be separated from his origin, mortals need only abandon the lie of belief in a mind separated from God, and turn to immortal Truth for every evidence of existence. Mind must be foand superior to all the be- liefs of the five corporeal senses,
 Mrs. Eddy says on page 493 of Science and Health, and able to destroy all ills Sickness is a belief, which must be annihilated by the divine Mind. Disease is an experience of so- called mortal mind It is fear made manifest on the body. Christian Science takes away this physical sense of discord,
 just as it removes any other sense of
 mortal or mental inharmony.'
 When the belief in disease is de- stroyed nothing remains to express sickness. When the belief of pleasure
 in matter is destroyed, nothing re-
 mains to express desire. When the belief of iniquities. of Instructions, of
 sorrows, in short the belief in the eX- | istence of a mortal mind, is destroyed | by the understanding that God Is Mind divine Pripciple. and that there is l therefore no such reality as life, sub- stance, or intelligence in matter, the externalization of evil belief can nc | longer retain even an appearance oi
 reality. It was his vision of the all ness of God that enabled the prophet
 to represent God as saying, Look
 unto me and be ye saved, all the ends
 of the earth: for I am God, and there l is none else"
