COVE COMMENTS


DO the dead communicate with
the livingi The question seems
to answer itself, as the dead are
not alive aud nothing dead has
any life. of course. it is the old
belief OF an immortal soul. spirit.
Aud the only authority we have is
contained in the Scripture. where
il plainly states that the soul that
sinneth shall surely die, aud the
dead know not anything, and III 10
case where tie word soul occurs
does il state that the soul is I'M
mortal, everlasting, or any such
term. In these days Of wireless
telegraph and telephone we know
that the atmosphere IS full of
voices and sounds. and we are
only on the fringe of knowledge in
that direction. II may be possible
that some persons are peculiarly
endowed with the power 10 pick
up such sounds and communicate
such vibrations TO inaaimate OBJ
jects, such as table Lacking
some such explanation, it, Of

REV. GARNER
 IS RECTOR OF
 NINE CHURCHES
Holds Responsibility of Parish of 25,000 Square Miles. IS ALSO RECTOR OF
 CANYON COLLEGE Has Been Riding the Range"
 For Three Years.

Canyon, Tex, Aug. 9. - Known through the southwest as the Arch deacon of the Plains" Rev. William Garner of the Episcopal Church now has a motor car to visit his parish toners, who are scattered far and wide over his territory of 25,Oo0 square miles. The car was one of the first material accomplishments in the nationwide campaign that the Episcopal Church is conducting.
 For three years Archdeacon Garner has been riding the range" by the best means at his command. His territory has nine churches and he is rector of them all. As some of them are 300 miles apart it has been mani festly possible for him to hold ser vices in each at irfrequent intervals
 by train and coach he has hurried here and there, holding services on
 Sundays or on weekdays according to the time of his arrival.
 When Archdeacon Garner (hrst came to North Texas he made his
 headquarters at Amerillo. He changed to Canyon because a state normal school is located here and he decided there was work for him to do among the 1000 students. A less energetic
 man might have shifted this respon-
 sibility with the thought that a parish of 25,O0O square miles was quite enough for any one man, especially when the salary of office was only
 $1C0 a month; but not so with the Archdeacon of the Plains. As soon as he learned that there was no rector at the college church here he moved from Amarillo and made his head quarters in Canyon. Now assisted by
 his wife he is conducting in a modest
 way church hostel at his own home. This hostel is entirely for the use of
 the students.
 Recently Archdelcon Garner re- ported that he could better care for
 his parishioners if he had a motor car. His report came to the attention
 of Rev. Francis White, Domestic Sec | retary of the Board of Missions of the Episcopal Church in New York and MT. White made an ap- peal for $571.3S with which to buy ar | automobile. When the facts were
 made known the response was i'm.
 mediate and so the money was sen- | to Archdeacon Garner and the motor | car was purchased.
 | Archdeacon Garner is an English i man. He came to North Texas iron ! mont. The nine churches ot ! which is rector are at Canyon Amarillo, Crosbyton. Daf1hart. Far. ! well, Labbeck, Mclean, Plainviev i and Shamrock. They contributed ' $500 of the 5000 which went tc 1 Archdean Garner last year for the 1 support of his wife and five childrer and the expense of travelling 1.2ot miles a month.

B0LSHEvlKI IS
 PURSUED BY
 DARING TANKS
Railway Engineers Restore Roads and Bridges Left
 In Ruin.

Soroka, Russian Lapland, June 30. via London, Aug. 22.-(Correspond- ence of The Associated Press) Push ing forward daily into territory of the Bolsheviki and often under fire, the American railway troops on the Mur- man front in two months transformed 75 miles of dynamited and burned bridges and railway, wrecked and destroyed by retreating Bolsheviki, into a workable railway which they manned, operated and maintained.
 To these troops the British com mand gives much of the credit of the seventy-five mile advance toward Pet rozavodsk. In the contingent were 36 officers and 675 men, comprising the 167th and 16Sth companies Of railway troops as a special battalion under Major E. E. MacMoreland, Kansas City, and every kind of raIl roader from a superintendent to a section hand.
 The Tanks worked so fast in fact that the Bolsheviki according to pris- oncrs taken, believed that they had miraculous machines for tracklaying and adjustable bridges which they dropped in as they went along. It was all done by a gang under Captain C. J. Jones,o Paterson, N. J., who in Alaskan and Latin-American jobs was nicknamed Hurry up Jones'" The men worked seventeen hours
 daily with the enemy right ahead and
 the British artillery right behind awaiting construction. There were
 also battles and skirmishes in many small sidings where on several oc- casions the constructors and also the trains crews were under fire.
 On May 19, while building a bridge under shrapnel fire, the Tanks were surrounded by Bolsheviki skipping through the woods and dynamiting the bridge three versts in the rear. On the way back to repair the bridge the Tanks were again attacked al close range but managed to escape. The shop detachment, under Cap tain c. E. McMillan, of South
 America and Panama, formerly from Omaha, had to transform junk pile equipment into workable rolling | stock.
 Then the Tanks, under Captain H
 c. Odell, former assistant and sup. i erintendent at Santa Fe. built and op- erated an eight mile street railway ir Murman. Under Lieutenant Chas. B i Futile. they operated and manned ar armcred train.
 Railroad men who formerly drew | high pay in Bostor Pittsburgh, ol | Indiana shared in making these rail. | way enterprises a Yankee success.

PEOPLE ARE FOR RATIFICATION OF
 LEAGUE PACT
Californian Says People of His State Would Vote
 Favorably on Matter.

Washington, D. C., August 22.-If the people of California were to vote on the League of Nations. majority would be cast for ratifica ton, in the opinion of Frank c. Jordan, Secretary of State for California and one of the most popular officials that State ever had.
 MT. Jordan, who is in Washington for visit of a few days, is Repub- lican and is now serving his tenth consecutive term as secretary of State, being reelected the last time by a majority of more than 3OO,OO0.
 The American people favor agree ments to prevent future wars, Mir. Jor- dan said in a statement to a newspa- per man after his arrival in the Ma tiOnal capital, and will not approve of any partisan action that will again imperl civilization.
 ''The people of California are waiting until those for and against the League have fought the question out on the floor of the Senate.'' said MT. Jordan, who continued: ''If vote were taken in California today, it would be for ratification of the treaty, The American people favor agree ments which will prevent wars in the future. They feel that the covenant will have such force that nations will hesitate to Attack when this agree ments between nations is in exist shce The good faith of the nation is pledg- ed to the observance of it's condi- tions, and that faith will not be light ly broken. Nations will hesitate to treat it as another scrap of paper
 America fought for civilization, and will not approve of any partisan ac- Tinn 9 this ioh imperil it again.
 America needs league of nations as well as England and France. There was a moment in the great conflict when the success of German arms meant possible disaster to our own land. The day has passed when Amer ica can take refuge in an attitude of selfish isolation"
 President Wilson's abors in the in terest of lasting peace entitle him to the gratitude of every peace-loving and fair-minded man, Lr. Jordan as serts.
 Critics of the President attempt 10 visualize the superman." said Mir Jordan. whereas Mir. Wilson is mere ly a virile American who has devoted all his powers of heart and brain for the upbuilding Of what is intended to he a barrier agains: the forces of de- struction- In that barrier points of weakness may develop, but what he has already done constitutes a re- s:ra ---sg force which ought to make every American feel that the wei fare of the people of all nations has been safeguarded for the future. and
 or this much MT. Wilson deserve
 ne gratitude of every fair-minded .nan''

HUNS GIVE UP WORKS OF ART
Worid-Fsmous Paintings Stolen From
Belgium Returned as Stipulation
Of Peace Treaty.

BY the terms Of the peace treaty
Belgium and Client will respectively
recover priceless works of art, one of
which was supposed to have been de-
strOyed after the Germans entered
Louvain. while the other has long been
incomplete because two important
parts of ii were in the Kaiser Friedrich
ing Is the work of Dierick Bouts, 4
Last Supper" which has been de-
scribed as certainly one of the finest
examples of Flemish fifteenth century
art" and was painted for the collegiate
church of st. Pierre. The painting had
come down the centuries as the chief
adornment of the church, and disap-
peared after the German 6cupa ton.
II was believed TO haYe been destroyed,
bat is now known TO have been re-
moved and preserved by the invader,
and its return is one of the stipulatiOns
Of the peace treaty. The other famous
painting, The Alteration of the Lamb"
has been called the first and greatest
masterpiece of fifteenth century paint
ing produced in Flanders" Ii was
begun by Hubert van Eyck. but con-
tinued and finished by Jan van Eyck.
Time had separated the parts of the
painting and at present the central
panel remains in the chapel of ST.
Bavon in Client. another part is in
Brussels, and yet another in Berlin.
Brussels will probably return her part
of the composition, and Germany is TO
give back the portions that have been
in her possession, so that the painting
as whole will once more be assem-
bled In the chapel for which II was
PAINTED.
