FROM PEOPLE
PROPHECY OF FEAR.

Prophecy is but a warning or a glori-
fication. If a warning, then 1t brings,
too the means of prevention. 1t comes
that the people may be prepared.
There was published in the News
some time ago a prophecy that bears
the stamp of fear and leads the ner-
vously inclined towards hysteria. 1t
portends evil, too much SO for the
minds comfort.
In December and for some time to
come. there will be severe storms and
earthquakes, but Of little consequence
outside their own territory. There
will be sickness similar to last year
but now that we have learned the les
son and the medical fraternity has
prepared itself with knowledge far sur
passing that of former years, we have
but to obey the doctor and the laws of
nature and fear not.
There is nothing in the whole uni
verse to be afraid OF when the God of
Love rules supreme. There is mes
sage of truth awaiting our acceptance.
We have but to listen and obey.
There is a law in nature that bids de-
fiance to all disturbances and an obed-
ience to this law. which in truth is a
God Of Love, brings peace OF mind
through spiritual knowledge"
We bring upon ourselves all dread
diseases and dire happenings. II Is due
to our greed, avarice and selfishness
that such things have an existence.
No God of Wrath" sends them for
punishment nor are we in direct line
with them only as we disobey the Law
OF Love and Justice. Life 10 full OF
hope and blessings and bids US sit up
and take notice.
Keep the mind adjusted to truth and
the heart pure with true knowledge
and always we Will find the way of
escape from any threatened danger:
for truth 10 explicit In both good and
evil to come to us.
Boise will not be harmed by earth
quaixes nor violent storms. but sick
ness Will prevail until we wrap about
US the mantle of protection that comes
to those in Tune with the Infinite.
Safety first" always. II there
comes to the mind a fear OF, something

itself and make safe through perfect

Interest in oil is running high in
this county and in certain sections
practically all of the land has been
leased, offers even having been made
for vacant lots right in the city
limits. There are several rigs at
work in the county and good strike
is confidently looked for within the
next few weeks. On the Rice Crooks
lease they are down about 900 feet
and have never reached the first
sand. Heretofore the. first sand has
been struck at from $50 to 400 feet
and experts claim that failing to
strike the sand at such a shallow
depth is a good indication. The
owners Of the Crooks lease are very
sanguihe in their belief that they
will bring in a good producer. In
Menifee county 10 wells are due in
within the next few days and the
result should prove whether Menifee
is to rank among the leading oil

AS there were quite a few points
of law raised during last Thursdays

clear that Justice Greenbaum is Civ
ing the case the most serious con-
sideration.
Whether Justice Greenbaums delay
in reaching decision favors the
Yankees or Ban Johnson is a matter
of speculation. In addition to the
issues of law involved there is the
matter of jurisdiction, which from the
start was recognized as strong rae

ton that he has decided that the case
