Planet Is to Blame For
Trials Fostering Earth
Anna Eva Fay Theosophist Astrologt and Mind Reader
Well known to Topekans, Declares Better
Times Now en- Route

That the terrible troubles now
hanging over the earth are due to
stay with us just one month more
and then will vanish is the prediction
made by Anna Eva Fay, well known
to Topekans as a mind reader, and
theosophist whose DEMONSTRATIONS
now becoming popular Better Times
Are Coming By and By"
Miss Fay made her first appearance
in Topeka over twenty-five years ago
at the old Crawford opera house,
where she was a member of a spirit
ualist troupe. At the series CT perfor-
mances in which she took part then
Roy Crawford, well known local the
alter man and now treasurer of the AS
ISOLATED Exhibitors Motion Picture
company, acted as piano player.
Claims No Powers.
Miss Fay long ago dropped spirit
ualism and has been making annual
visits to Topeka in vaudeville nearly
ever since. She is to appear at the
Novelty theater for 1-1imited engage
ment starting Monday. Her appear
ance on the Novelty bill is always a
signal for a big outpouring of her
friends here and thoee who believe
that she is endowed with more than
normal powers. Miss Fay herself.
AloWeNeT, refuses TO claim any powers
other than ordinary and performs
some of the most amazing feats of
mind reading with the remark, 81 do
not attempt to explain how I do this
explain it yourself if you can"
In the prediction made in Boston
recently Miss Fay does not base her
optimism upon anything she may have
gained by familiarity with the I'M
known but rather upon astronomic
conditions.
Saturn Is To Blame.
Until Saturn passes away we will
have no peace" says Miss Fay. HE
cannot hold [us in his grim control
much longer, however, because Ahe
must pass away in another month.
Then we shall be rid of his dire in
fluences and Leo will reign in his
stead. Leo is a peace constellation
and when he sweeps over the earth
our troubles major ones-will be
over.
This age is one of money-an age
ofdollars and cents" Miss Fay con-

autumn S Lesson
WEDNESDAY.

There's a lesson we may learn
When the autumn days are here,
Teaching that immortal faith
Casteth out all doubt and fear.
For we see the dying leaves
Fall to earth-tho tight they cling,
Yet we know they shall return
AT the coming of the spring.
We shall see the roses bloom
And the lilies nod again;
For God crowneth each season
With joys for the sons Of men.
We shall see the bulbs we plant
Meath the soil and out of sight,
Grow into plants of beauty
Bearing flowers of purest white.
We know the grain we have sown,
For our use shall reappear;
And we shall reap the harvest
When the summer days are here.
And we know e'er many months
Sleeping buds shall be reborn,
Teaching Us that We shall wake,
On the resurrection morn.
For these things are earthly types
Symbolizing Gods great plan,
To awaken from its sleep
The immortal soul of man.

George Patten, an employee Of Crane
& Company, tells the prize ghost story
eff there is a haunted house in this
state" said Patten, "I hope someone
will tell me about it, 1 like to live in
'en1''
Then he was informed, of a vacant
house near Western League park-a
house which neighbors declared was
oyerrun with spooks. White forms
ceild be seen late at night fitting
back and forth. Unearthly light some7
times appeared in one room or an
other 1t was an ideal situation to
test Patterns metal. So he moved in
to it.
Worn out with the exertion of NOV
ing, George fell asleep at once the
first night in his new home. He gave
little thought to ghosts. About mid
night he awoke with a start and sat
up suddenly in bed. To his ears came
a faint sound-the sound of a violin.
1t was so faint that he could pick up
a note only here and there, but II was
unmistakable. He lighted the lights
and searched. He could find nothing.
The sound ceased and again he went
to sleep.
The next night the same thing was
repeated. And the next night, and the
next, and the next. 1t was wearing
on Georges nerves. All doubt that
the house was actually haunted now
was banished from his mind. His
family was on the verge of leaving
him to his fate and going some place
where the deceased spirits OF violin
lists did not return to earth at night
and serenade the living.

the sound in the attic. But when it
came to interviewing. his unearthly

George baked. He went 20 bed with
the light burning and waited until
old Sol sent a stream of light into
the window before he invaded the
attic
Then he mounted into the upper
world and looked around. On the
floor he found an ancient violin. 1t
had but one string. There were also
unmistakable signs of rats in those
upper regions. George sat down on an
old chair and reasoned. Like Aristo-

PEAY FOR GOVERNOR.

There will be little surprise Occa.
stoned by the announcement of the
Hon. Austin Peay, of Clarksville, as a
candidate for governor 1t has been
expected for some time. Mr.. Peay's
remarkably strong race in 1918, his
wide acquaintance over the state, ex-
listing political conditions, all pointed
to Mr.. Peay as a very logical and for
midable contender for the democratic
nomination next year.
The ability of the distinguished
Clarksville lawyer will not be ques.
tions. He is one of the best lawyers
in the state, a student of government
and gentleman of unquestioned in
tegrity. His high standing at home
was attested in his previous race when
he lost only about 200 votes in Mont
gomery county.
AS minated in his preliminary an
nounmecent Mr.. Peay will probably
make taxation and the fiscal affairs of
the state the chief issue of his cam
paign. There is abundant field for
constructive work. along these lines
Tennessee's finances, notwithstanding
the much Wanted merits of the new
tax laws, are very far from being on
a satisfactory basis. There is still
big deficit in the states revenues. Ex-
penses continue to absorb more than
the income and nothing is being set
aside for the redemption of debts. 1t
is out of the question to think of in
creasing the burdens of taxation at
this time therefore there must be a
reduction of expenses. The candidate
for governor who can demonstrate to
the satisfaction of the people that he
will bring about such reduction OF
expenses is going to have, his race
more than half won.

THE THIRD DISTRICT.

There is a prospect for what the
politicians would welcome and term
'lively scrap" for congress over in
the third district next year. For TWEEN
ty-four years this district was repre-
scented by Judge John A. Moon, but
he went down in defeat in the repub-
lican landslide last fall being succeed
ed by Joe Brown, republican. The dis
trict is normally democratic and evil
IDENTITY the democrats expect to re-
deem it next year for there are three
prominent members of that party al
ready grooming themselves for the
nomination. 1t is generally agreed
that Judge Samuel D. McReynolds, of
Chattanooga, will be one of the lead
ing contenders for the nomination.
Senator Walter Cameron, of Marion
county, would like to have the nomi-
nation and SO would Mr.. Mayfield, of
Cleveland. 1t is rather remarkable
that the great democratic counties of
White, Warren and Franklin, whose
majOrities must always elect the dem
ocrat, have no candidate. All of the
prospective candidates come from
either, republican or doubtful coin.
ties.
If Judge McReyonlds should be NOM
mated it would in way be history
repeating itself for Judge Moon left
the bencfAto enter congress. In the
thirty-four years that will have elaps-
ed at the expiration of Joe Browns
terms, since John R. Neal retired from
congress, Hamilton county has fur
nished the congressman thirty years,
although the third district is cOmpos-
ed of fourteen counties. During this
period of more than third of cen.
fury the representative has lived in
Hamilton county thirty years while
only one member, Henry c. Snodgrass,
from White county has represented
the district from another county and
that for the brief period of four years.
In this respect the third district is
like the tenth district, the member
generally coming from the county that
includes the large city.

HARMED BUYS cows
FOR STATE NORMAL
PRESIDENT OF BOARD OF EDUCA.
TON ATTENDS THE CHAP.
MAN SALE HERE.
- (From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)

(From Tuesdays Daily Herald.)
Prof Perry l.. Harmed, of Clarks-
vile, president of the state board of
education, was here Monday to attend
the sale of Chapman Jerseys. Mr..
Harmed came to buy milk cows for the
State A. and |. Normal at Nashville
He had Mr. Elrod, of the Middle Ten
nessee Normal at Murfreesboro, with
him to assist in grading and selecting
the cattle. Prof. Harmed proved to
be one of the largest buyers at the sale
getting something like dozen of the
animals. He complimented the offer
ing of Mr. Chapman and said that the
prices received indicated that good
milk cows were appreciated here.
Prof. Harmed is one of the most dis
tinguished educators of the state,
having been president of the state
board of education for many years.
He is called the father of the "coun-
'ty board law" in Tennessee, for it
was when he was superintendent of
Montgomery county that the first
county board law was passed. 1t was
a local law and out of it grew the great
reform in school management of 1907.
His county was one of the first in Ten
nessee to establish county high
school. After serving for eight years
as postmaster Prof. Harmed resigned
to devote all of his time to school
work. In conjunction with the gener-
al education board at New York he is
making survey of the rural schools
of the state.
while great progress has been
made along educational lines" said
Prof. Harmed, I'VE are still short of
trained teachers in this state. We
need more thoroughly trained men and
women who have real vision of their
opportunities, which are limitless."
