is possibly the most complete in the western states.
 The idea of the big new warehouse came to the heads of the Lightning Delivery company some time ago, but on account of the war restrictions and great scarcity of building materials the thought of it's construction was put off, until the time would come when it could be erected without interference to building interests of greater War importance.
 Need Was Urgent.
 The need for safe and secure quart CTS for care became more apparent daily, however, and the ending of the war found the company ready to start the work at once. The removel of restrictions and the return of construc- tion to nearly noraml channels enabl- ed it to complete the work in short time. with the result that the ware house Is now a reality.

What kind of churches and beliefs

inquiry often made these days. There
is about as much tone Of loving piety

would be put into the question as to
what kind Of autoes we are to have
after the war. Auto making is in the
hands Of men and Christianity is in
the hands of God and God, nor yet
his salvation. never change. The
"0ld time religion" will continue TO
take away the sin and shame Of men
and to lead them 10 Heaven. New
cults will continue to appear and
prey on the Christian work Of Bible

seek to fleece the flocks of God but

Ducks Are Flying South.

Oakley, Kas., Aug. az-Weather
prophets in this section are puzzled
over the early flight of wild ducks
to the south this season. Ordinarily
wild ducks and geese do not begin
their exodus from the north until late
in the season when cold weather
drives them out. Since August I,
however. thousands of ducks have
been seen in this section, among
them many mallards, which are usual
ly the last to leave their northern
haunts. Some say the drought in the
Northwest has something to do with
it, while others assert it is warm
ing of an early and severe winter.
