be about .OO1 MID. and the variable

Be sure to place the phone receivers
and B-battery in series, the positive
pole Of the battery being connected to
the tap-of on the inductance and the
negative pole being led to the receivers
as shown. In setting up and tuning
you will very likely find 1t necessary
to take one or two turns of wire from
the upper end of the coil, which is
easily done. In operating this set first
bring the tube filament to a point
where the oscillations produce squeal
or howl with the variable condenser
set at zero. Then, by moving the con-
denser pointer over the scale slowly
and carefully, you can determine the
best point to receive signals. When
this is determined, adjust the rheostat
until the fllament oscillates and then
decrease the brightness little. With
a little practice and by marking the
knobs you will be able to readily adjust
the set very accurately and quickly.

An INTERESTING COMMuNlCA.
ton ON POLITICAL SITUATION

No body disputes that the farmer
is up against one of the hardest pro-
positions in the history of business,
but it is not new condition. Every
few years we seem to undergo de-
preston after period Of over ex-
pansion. doing business on wind"
as it were. This time our troubles
are added to by the reaction from
the greastest war of history, and pro-
badly also by the fact that we would
not learn by the experience of other
parts of our country, who raised
small grain until they we're driven
into general farming. There is a
tendency during such times as these
to try and pass the buck" and locate
the blame on somebody, when as q
rule 1t is due in the main to our
lack of business foresight. The usual
goat" is the political party that hap
pens to be in power. Many people
have an exaggerated idea of the effect
of politics on economic conditions.
We have heard much of this doctrine
in North Dakota in the past six years
until We were led to believe that we
could become rich thru legislation
when in fact, no greater falacY was
ever preached.
However, while the direct benefit
from politics in an economic way is
almost negligible quantity, there
is one phase wherein the stability of
a state government does vitality effect
the business welfare OF that state.
Every state is dependent, to a great
degree for financial and business ser.
vice from those residing in other
parts Of the country. If the state
government is such as to inspire the
confidence of the country, we can
get assistance and credit to tide us
thru adverse circumstances. On the
other hand il the government fails
to inspire such confidence. it adds
very seriously to the problem OF pull
ing thru, and with so many adverse
conditions to face. this one added
handicap may easily become 1.-The
straw that breaks the camel's back"
Our present administration has
done much to restore the confidence
of the financial and business inter-
ests of the country at large, and it

We are very sorry that 1t became
necessary to cancel our preaching ap-

only one thing left to do-just with
draw all immediate engagements. At
the present time we have recovered
sufficiently to Justify US in making
the announcement that We expect to
be able to preside at the regular SER
vices next Sunday. The friends were
exceedingly kind to US during our ILL.,
ness, and it surely made the load
much lighter to carry to know enat
friends were doing all they could for
us.
Last Monday evening the officers
and teachers of the Sunday School
held a get-together meeting in the
home OF the superintendent, Mr.. M.
b. Cassell; the attendance was almost
lOO per cent and the interest and en-
thus1asm went few degrees higher
than that. The meeting was refresh
ing and stimulating and 1t is felt that
much good will come out of it. At
the close of the business session de-
licious refreshments were served by
the hostesses, the Misses Cassell.
We are expecting to speak, next
Sunday morning, upon the theme
THE True Meaning of the Temple"
and we are hoping to have the male
quartet sing for US.
AT the evening service we shall be-
gin series of three or four messages
from Luke Is. These messages might
well be termed the Lost and Found
series. First-there is the Coin that
was lost and found. We shall con-
slider it next Sunday evening. Second
the story of the sheep that was lost
and found. This story we expect to
consider one week later. Third-the

ing their little ones and themselves to
hasten on into the fantastic paradise which
Doyle insists he knows about from revela-
tions made to him by dwellers in heaven.
When Conan Doyle arrived in New York
he was challenged by Mr.. Joseph l.. Rim
to produce one single evidence of super
normal happenings. Mr.. Rim offered to
pay $4,000 to be permitted to communicate
wiNffany one of the twenty ghosts which
Doyle insists he is in touch with. Mr. Rim
begged him for an opportunity to go over
with him the various evidences which con.
vinced the distinguished author that he
had penetrated the mysteries of life be-
yond the grave, but Doyle declined to ac-
cept Mr.. Rims challenge.
The editor is therefore extending to Mr..
Rim the columns Of this newspaper to
day to set before the public his reasons for
challenging Doyle and to give the readers
of this page an opportunity to see for
themselves how Mr. Rim explains and how
he himself would duplicate the more in
teresting "supernormal phenomena" which
convinced so credulous a man as the ere
ator of Sherlock Holmes.
II was not surprised" said Mr. Rim,
that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle declined to
permit me to examine into the evidence
upon which he bases his beliefs and asser-
tions as to communications with the spirit
world. little experience which Sir Ar.
thur had with Mr. Filson Young a we'll
known English author, is described in the
January Spirit Review of London, and is
highly enlightening as to the open.minded-
ness of Mr.. Doyle.
"Mr Young was invited by Sir Arthur
to attend a spiritualistic seance in Eng
land, and he went with the distinguished
writer with an open and sympathetic mind.
The room was dark and he sat next to the
electric.light switch. Mr.. Young noticed
a phonograph horn and music box were
part of the paraphernala of the room. In
the middle of the circle around which the
people sat the horn was standing; it.was
about four feet in length, resting on its
broader surface. Pretty soon spirit voice
began to come out of the horn, and Mr..
Young noiselessly put his hand out in the
darkness, and with the tips of his fingers
discovered the horn had been lifted from
the floor and that the small end or mouth
piece of the horn was pointed in the drec-
ton of the spirit medium.

sitting beside Filson Young. that she had
felt the touch of her mothers spirit was
accepted as uncontrovertable evidence.
Thus we have here very concrete, clean
cut little specimen of Conan Doyle's con-
vincing> proofs of two things: OD That he
has heard communications from a depart
ed spirit through that phonograph horn;
and (2) the satisfactory evidence that he
was present when a materialized spirit
from the other world touched one OF the
sitters at the seance with its spectral
fingers.
"But quite as interesting as the 'evi-
dence' is the attitude of mind Of Conan
Doyle himself When he is informed OF
the facts in regard to the phonograph
trumpet and is told the true explanation
Of the supposed touch from those spirit
hands-he is indignant! Instead OF insist
ing upon a repetition Of the seance ana
taking precautions against the medium
making use Of the phonograph horn ana
making plans to make sure whose hand
performs the ghostly touch, he refuses TO
have any further relations with the man
who exposed the fraud!
LET me now take up some OF the
sprtualistic phenomena and evidence
which Conan Doyle sets forth in his aston
ishing book, The Wanderings OF Spirit
ualist'
"The most remarkable revelation IN SIR
Arthur's book" continued Mr.. Rim, is
his story of and his avowed belief in the
medium, Bailey, in Australia. This medium
was thoroughly exposed in France, bnt
Conan Doyle still believes in him, although
even he admits that at his own sittlngs
with Bailey many things happened that
appeared suspicious Sir Arthur cites his
seances with Bailey, held by DR.. c. w. NC
Carthy, Of Sydney, as follows:
"'My second sitting with Bailey was
more successful than the first. On his
arrival and others searched him and sat

him. We then placed Mr.. Bailey in the
corner Of the room, lowered the lights

TEADERs of the newspapers have been
X informed of the recent arrival in the
United States of Sir Arthur Conan
Doyle the distinguished English novelist
and the creator Of that famous character
of fiction, Sherlock Holmes. The ex
ploits of this great mastermind in expos
ing fraud and unravelling obscure mys-
tories are the most delightful detective
stories ever written.
But the mind of the author Of Sherlock
Holmes has apparently become warped by
the impositions of spritualist mediums
By frauds and tricks which are perfectly
we'll known, Conan Doyle seems to have
become as credulous as child.
The novelist has dropped his detective
story writing and has dedicated himself to
telling the world of the twenty spooks he
has met and talked with, and what they
said to him. His lectures have been re-
ported in the newspapers and his earnest
but misguided assertions have already
done no little harm to unthinking minds
which are unable to reason for themselves
and assume that so distinguished per-
sonage as Conan Doyle must surely know
what he is talking about.
Clergymen of many denominations have
recently protested against the lecturer
assertions, and especially they have chal-
lengsd his repeated statement that "the
Bible teaches spiritualism" They have
pointed out that the Scriptures do not
teach any such thing, and appearances
from the other world, as narrated in the
Bible. are always of God and the angels,
but not of departed human beings. And
furthermore. these heavenly messengers of
the Scriptures never bring tidings from
the beyond of what has happened, but come
to prophecy or intervene in earthly events
Other clergymen in condemning the ut.
teranCes of Conan Doyle declare that his
claims and teachings belong to the past
ages of spooks and witchCraft, and dis
tingushed prelate in Philadelphia suggests
that Sir Arthur be examined by a lunacW
commission with a view to confining him
in an asylum.
OF course, one real bit of tangible evi.
dence of the existence of life after death
would be of overwhelming interest to man
kind. One clear undeniable proof that we
continue to exist in the world beyond the
grave would instantly produce profound
change throughout the world. It would
accomplish more in an instant than all the
churches have accomplished in 1000 years
