DIFFICULT TO DEFINE

Arc you normal individual?
II so, you're apt to be pretty
lonely. For absolutely normal per-
sons arc very few and far between,
according to Or. u. Percy Hickling,
District alienist, who spoke last
night at the French Club
Were all the normal men and
women in the world gathered to-
gether, they would occupy a very
small area Of the EARTH" DR.. HEX
ling said,
which leads up to tho question:
"What IL n normal individual?"
The question has never been
defnitsay and scientifically an
swerod, according to Or. Hickllng,
but one definition, which has been
accepted in courts. and Is about ns
good as any other. he said goes
something like this:
"The normal man or woman In
the man or woman who Is able to
be successful and happy"
II you are not successful and
II you're not happy you're not
normal.
This doesn't, OF course, mean
that you're Insane. You may be

moron, an idiot, an imbecile, n

lieve this to be the case. I am told
so by many spirits with whom ! con-
verse. believe that we continue
our lives in the next world, and can
return from thence at will. I also
believe that we on this side of the
veil render communication with
spirits difficult because OF our fear OF
personal devil. which belief has
been instilled into our minds by
Christian churches.
Therefore, sckno wtedsing all ana
more that Father De Heredia has
said regarding the fraud practiced in
any reason why we should refuse the
spirit of our beloved dead to come to
us in the sanctity Of our own rooms,
where fraud Is impossible.
Certainly not. and in spite OF the
warnings issued by churches against

over the world today, and many are
receiving the comfort that the church
could not give in the agony Of having
their dear ones torn from their en-
brace in the stiffness of death. q
stiffness which has been broken by
the voice that has passed beyond.
Exclaimed that many have lost
their minds over spirits. Ask at any
reliable insane asylum and you will
find that many more have been sent
there by the horrible fear OF q devil
and hell, and that fear was impress
ed upon their baby minds in . Sun

No, my dear sir, We are rising
above the narrow limitations OF the
churches and they know 1t. eW are
entering a wide field Of many won
derful achievements for man, and
from man must come the knowledge
locked within the 500, 0OO. 900 to LOO
900, 900 brain cells which should be In
active operation, besides that which
lies dormant within countless other
cells awaiting to be developed
Then let man think. Let him ex-
pertinent with these hidden forces
and find out for himself. Let him
reach the truth and be free. Any
religion which seeks to curtail the
divine God given right of q man to
think for himself must be afraid OF

what was really necessary to protect
our important cities and bases was
not to install as many guns as an
enemy could bring, but the minimum

LISTED CORN NOT ADVISABLE

Listed corn is not regarded as
good practice in North. Dakota. Many
inquiries in regard to this method
of handling corn is received by the
North Dakota Agricultural College.
H. L. Walster, the Agronomist, states
that the soil is apt to be cold in the
deep listed furrow and that for good
termination and good early growth
of the corn in this state, It is very
important to have the seed warm up
as fast as possible, and that means
that the soil must warm up rapidly
which is delayed in listing. DIR. Wal
ster also states that if the land is
at all rolling there would be con-
siderable danger of listing causing
washing, and that if listing is prac-
tised on billy land, the listed rows
should run at right angles to the
slope of the hill.
Trials in listing corn have also
been made in South Dakota on the
Experiment Station farms at Eureka
and Vivian but it was found that
the results were not enough better
to warrant listing the corn over
checking or drilling.
