PEACE TO COME AT
 CHRISTMAS TIDE?
(New York Herald)

While razng the old Monastery Of the Holy Ghost in Wismar, Mecklen burg. two months ago, an old Bible was found in which was a remarkable prophecy regarding the present world war. It was written in 1701 by one of the monks on parchment that is now yellow and scared with age.
 It is now on exhibition in a glass case in the city hall or Wismar. So much publicity has been given to the prophecy in the papers of Germany that thousands have flocked to Wis mar to see it.
 The prophecy not only gives the cause of the war, but also indicates the countries engaged. Up to the present it has been amazingly accu- rate. It does n5t definitely state that Germany will be victorious, but indi- cates how long the war will last, when the decisive battle will be fought, and where and when peace will come, and adds that Germany will continue to exist as power for many years.
 A translation of the writing on the parchment is as follows:
 Lord, have mercy on thy people de- spite the fact that they are turning more and more away from thee; that they are destroying thy monasteries and cloisters and forgetting thee. A time will come in Europe when these people will feel the weight of thy hand. when malignity and hatred will rule. It will be at a. time when the papal seat will be vacant, and the confla- grafton will come as the result of the murder of @ prince.
 Seven nations will rise against the eagle with one head and the eagle with two heads. The birds will defend

and County Agent w. A. Barr and Dr. R. C. Clothier of the United States de- partment of agriculture, gave some in- teresting figures from various poultry raisers throughout the valley. It was brought out that many farmers obtain two-thirds of their meCt supply from the farm flock. Several flocks were reported as bringing in a revenue of s or more for each fowl MT. Collins suggested that a special effort be made to organize cooperative egg market ing associations.

perimenting had been conducted and large sum of money had been spent.
 W. C. Durant who was associated with MT. Dort in the manufacture of wagons and. carriages, is now presi- dent of the General Motors company, the concern which manufactures Olds- mobiles, Cadilllac:, Bucks and Oak lands.
 Tribute to Partner
 "Dr. L. $. Skelton, who is my part ner in business says MT. Leach, has never entered any line of business of which he has not made a success. He has extensive mining interests in Ari- zona, he is one of the biggest oil op- orators in Oklahoma, and is the big gest glass manufacturer in the United States Dr. Skelton is connected with six different automobile distributing houses. They are located in Kansas City, Oklahoma City, Dallas, Tex San Francisco and Losangeles and Phoenix.
 "The Leach Motor Car company started in California one year ago, No- vember l.
 During the first year it's business amounted to S1.497. .000 The Los Ange- les house covers all of Southern Cali fornia, carrying DOrt, Liberty, King, Premier and the Rec. The San Fran cisco branch covers all of. Northern California and Nevada.
 Praises Local Branch
 T am more than satisfied with the success Of our local branch" says MT. Leach Tt is only in it's infancy, but thus far it has made all of it's ex- penses and made money. Nothing bet ter could be expected in the short time that it has been in existence. Our Mir. Hughes is from Fl Paso. He was farmerly field representative for us. When this branch was opened he was named manager and George w. Camp bell. a Phoenix man, whose father is @ well konwn Tancher and contractor was made assistant manager.

themselves furiously and viciously with their talons. and their wings will protect their peoples. A prince from their very midst, a sovereign who mounts his horse from the wrong side, will be encompassed by wall of en- cnies. His slogan will be Onward with God" The Almighty God will lead him from victory 10 victory and irany will meet their death.
 There will be wagons without horses, and fiery dragons will fly through the air dropping fire and sul phur and destroying cities and villages. The people will turn to God. This terrible war will last three years and five months. The time will come when food can neither be sold nor bought and bread will be carefully distributed. The seas will be tingcd
 with blood and men will lie in wait
 under the waves for their prey"
 Here follows reference to America, which was in those times often re-
 ferrcd to as the country of the seven stars
 ''The people of the Seven Stars will attack the ring of steel and suddenly fall upon the bearded nation in the
 rear and rend it in twain. The whole of the lower Rhine will tremble but nevertheless will endure to the end. '.The land in the West will be one vast desolation, and the land in the ocean will with its king, be crushed and suffer all the bangs of hunger | The land of the bearded people will still endure for a long time to come l and following the war the world Will
 be united in one great brotherhood. | "The victors will carry a cross, and | between four small cities and fou1 1 steeples of equal height the decisive | battle will be fought. Between two | linden trees the victor will fall upon l his knees before his army, lift his hands to heaven and thank God. Fol | lowing this all ungodliness will dis appear the indecent dances that pre- vailed before the war will be seen nc
 more, and God will reign in church state and family.
 The war will commence when ths
 grain is ripening and will reach its 1 height when the cherries bloom for the third time. Peace will be consum-
 mated by the prince in time for the l Christmas mass"
 All German newspapers have com.
 mented on this amazing prophecy. | Tt is remarkable" says one paper | how accurately this monk has pre- l dicted events as they have thus fal | occurred We sincerely hope that tht | longed for peace will come, as he says | in order that we all may breathe freely again"

M. \. LEACH |S
 VISITOR; GIVES
 ARIZONA PRAISE

We consider our Arizona field per haps the most important of all,' says NJ. A. Leach of the Leach Motor com pany of Los Angeles, and in arriv- ing at that conclusion we have based our deduction on very fundamental principals. Arizona gets her wealth from the soil. There is no direct meth cd of procuring wealth in this country. A man goes out and takes from mother earth his livelihood and his financial success depends upon how well he does it. Our California fields are import ant, but are more liable to fluctation in their prosperity Commercial centers, where money conditions rest upon trade are not the stable, solid proposition that is found in agricultural and min ing centers. Arizona farmers are sue cessful as is demonstrated by the big per capita popularity of the automobile That is why our business, ~Oung though it is, has been successful, and why we see a great future for 1t In Arizona
 MT. Leach is visiting Phoenix in the interests of the big concern with which he is associated on the coast. This IS not his first visit to Arizona, but he declares the progress of the Salt River Valley is astounding to one who re- mains away for a time and drops in now and then for a casual visit.
 MT. Dort Lived Here
 "J. D. Dort, president of the Dort Motor Car company of Flint, Michi- gan, has an especial interest in the progress of Phoenix" says MT. Leach. Twenty years ago MT. Dort came to this city on account of the illness of his wife, who has since become victim to the malady from which she was suffering. At that time the motor car was not particularly popular in this, or any other section of the coun- try. When MT Dort is appraised from time to time of the number of auto mobiles in use here at the present and especially Dort cars, you may imagine that it is gratifying news to him"
 The Dort Motor Car company, ac cording to MT. Leach is the outgrowth of the Durant- -Dort carriage company which began it's existance in 1886. A high class article was produced by the 1 concern and it was for this reason that MT. Dort said to the mechanics and | engineers he employed when contem- | plating the placing of a motor car on | the market. Let TO machine be placed l on sale until it is worthy of carrying a name which has been made the sym | bol of a square deal for the pur- | chaser
 The Dort which MT Dort believed to 1 be worthy of it's name was placed on the market only after two years of eX-

JAPANESE WOMEN
 SHAVE THEIR FACE
Cleveland Leaderl

In Japan not only men but women go to the barber if there be any sign of hair on their faces: they do not per init even the soft down to grow which the Japanese are often astonished to see left unmolested on the faces of some western women. Often, too, the eyebrows are shaved. In recent years the female barber has become a fea ture of the profession of Tokio. most of these being the wives of barbers who wish to make themselves useful to their husbands. though some are inde pendent.
 Barber apprentices are a class, and often a law, unto themselves. Equipped with a razor they wander from mas ter to master as the spirit moves them, and not infreuuently they become dis solute.

TO SPEND OVER 10 MILLIONS
Legislative Appropriations Increased
Because of High Cost of Living
and War Measures

Topeka--The total appropriations
of the legislature for the next two
years, as shown by bills either passed
or pending. will aggregate SO, $50, 739,
as against S9.459, ISL two years ago.
The increase, therefore, is $1,126,958
High cost of living and war meas
ures are responsible for most of the
increase The legislature, in addi-
ton to regular appropriations, set
aside nearly 100000 for the Kansas
National guard. OF, this amount $17S,-
600 is to pay so cents per day to each
guardsman who served on the border.
Under the law the guardsmen are en-
titled to 81 day whether in state or
federal service. The federal govern
ment only paid them so cents a day.
So the state had to make up the diff
ference This money goes to the en-
listed men, not to the officers. The
legislature also had to set aside $780,
600 for the guard in accordance with
the new army law. passed by Con-
gress. Deficiencies to cover increased
cost of supplies and repairs aggre-
gated more than $780, 900. Liberal
appropriations for the maintenance of
the educational, charitable and penal
institutions made up the balance of
the increase. The salary schedule Of
state employees, with but a few minor
exceptions, remains the same as two
years ago Important bills passed:
Dry bone law.
State manager bill.
City manager bill.
State highway commission act.
Marriage registration law.

Diet, Exercise or Death !!

An eminent medical authority writes
that most of our city folks die of thick
ening of the arteries or of kidney dis
ease The kidneys become clogged and
do not filter the poisons from the blood,
and one trouble follows another, high
blood pressure damages the heart, arteries
and kidneys Usually its danger signals
are backache, pain here or there, swollen
feet or ankles, rheumatic twlnges or
spots appearing before the eyes
The very best remedy is this: Eat
meat but once day, or not at all Plenty
OF outdoor exercise, and drink pure
water. frequently Before meals take q
little Anuric, the great uric asid neu-
trainer that is easily obtained at the
drug store When you have dizziness,
cnllis or sweating, worry, or dragging

to uric acid, which Dr. Pierce of Buffalo,

TO START RISK FIRM PROBE
Senate to Create a Commission to
Thoroughly Investigate Insurance
Business of State.

Topeka.-Kansas is to have an in
surance investigation such as the
Armstrong investigation in New York
a few years ago. The Senate has
agreed to resolution by Kimball of
Labette to create a commission and
give it powers to summons witnesses,
and to make a thorough investigation
of every line of insurance in the state,
life, fire and indemnity. The resolu-
ton at first covered only fire insur-
ance.
Kansas has for years been trying
to regulate its fire insurance compa-
MES, but without success. KimbaH
said his resolution was for the pur-
Pose of uncovering the bug under the
chip in respect to that branch of the
business. The resolution also looked
to the possibility of the state enter
ing the fire insurance business as a
remedy for the evil.
When the senate took up the reso-
luton it was nearly midnight. At
first there was an effort to kill it, but
almost every senator had story to
tell about the injustice of insurance
of one kind or another Kimball,
Coleman, Delaney, Price. Carroll,
Doerr, Getty and Snyder all went to
bat against the insurance companies.
1t was agreed to postpone action on
the resolution until the measure
could be strengthened to include all
insurance, and then make the inves-
tigation complete and sweeping, and
for recommendations to the next leg
islature for laws to regulate the bust
ness in Kansas.
