For example. a druggist rents
store room for 5000 a month. the
assessor comes along. ascertains the
rent. also his annual turnover ana
makes a calculation based upon
these two factors as the basis OF his

We are not what we are because we were created by God like that. It's our own fault.
 We have to live many and many a life upon this earth, and we come back to it numerous times before we eventually pass to the so-called per feet state" We are what we are in this life, and occupy the positions we do. simply because we did, or did not, take advantage of the opportunities offered us in our previous existences.
 Those who claim we are just created what we are by God, cer- tainly could not believe that the All mighty was just God if he made one man an idiot and another man a genius.
 Everybody Has Chance
 "To all are offered the same op- portunities. God has planned that we progress toward geniuses and saints; and if we choose to pass up our op- portunities, it takes us that much longer to reach blesseder estates.
 Summed up, this was the gist of what pr. l.. W. Rogers, national pres ident of the Theosophical Societies of America had to say in hls second lec- ture entitled "Reincarnation,' at Cable hall last night. Tonight, his last lecture will concern Thought Power, and Fate" All lectures are free.
 Stay Here
 Continued Dr. Rogers:
 When we die, we do not wing our flight through space to other realms as many believe. We merely change form. We pass into spirit state but we live here. Our form still ex- ists, but cannot be seen by the physical eye.

COMPANY
 IS DENOUNCED AT
 CITIZENS MEETING
Organizations of Huntsville Pledge Support to Ford Shoals Bid-Send Peti-
 tion to Congress

Huntsville, February 16--(Spe- cial.)-The action of the Alabama Power company in threatening law suits against the government and against Henry Ford in the event the Ford offer for the lease of the Muscle Shoals project is accepted by Con gress was condemned in resolutions adopted today by meeting of rep resentatives of civic, farm and busi- ness organizations called together by the senior and junior chamber of commerce.
 The resolutions denounce the com pany for bringing in at the last mo- ment, a proposition that apparently means an effort to defeat the Ford proposition.
 There was a representative crowd at the meeting and Tracy W. Pratt, head of the West Huntsville Cotton min presided. He stated the sub stance of the power company's of fer, and short addresses were made by several business and professional men denouncing the company for what was termed interference with the Ford proposal at the eleventh hour.
 It was the opinion of all speakers that the Ford offer for Muscle Shoals Is the best, not only for the government, but for the agricultural districts and for the immediate re- lief of the unemployment situation throughout the country. Congress was memorialized to hasten favor able action for the consums tion oe the Ford offer.
 Colonel J. ". Worthington and members of the Alabama delegations in the Senate and House will be noti- fled that if representative delega- ton from Huntsville can, in their opinion do any good in Washington. strong delegation will be sent at any date suggested Secretary P.

We GrouU On To
 Be Gods and Saints
Noted Theosophist Says God Does Not Create Us ln- stantly as Souls-That Would Lack Justice-It Is Our Own Fault That We Are What We Are Today-We Must Live Many
 Lives Here, He Says

the measure that whatsoever ye SOW that shall ye also reap. Who does not know that to be true? A man who lives truly and uprightly, 1ov- ngly and generously with the world, making use of the lessons for train ing the intellect and compassion here, becomes a greater soul, life by life. But each life grants the new oppor tunity. We are repaid for all the good we do."
 Questions were handed pr. Rogers to answer. One asked;s Do we have anything to do with selecting the body, or family, in which we reside?"
 The distinguished theosophist smil- ed: Nc" said he; wiser spirits de- termine that for us. If we could choose, the millionaires would just about have all the children, and the poor folks none at all"
 Takes Ages
 AS the physical body and the earth is produced through ages of evolution, so is the soul of each ot us. That explains why some of us are greater souls than others. Some souls have lived longer; others have progressed more rapidly because they have striven more earnestly. En- vironment has 1ittlT to do with progress also, as certdiH lioWVi9 Q thrive in richer ur more adapted soil. If we had to blame God for our handicaps, We could not think of Him as filled with justice.
 "The earth is the greatest training school because in it we are obliged to meet such things as sorrow, palm affiiction. Through these experiences are our souls developed. We are also obliged to have three meals a day, clothing and shelter. This absolute ly forces us to think of ways ana means; to use our wits; develop our minds.
