Rosicrucians Secret
Order of 18th Century

The RoSicrucians were a secret fra
ternity alleged to have been founded
during the latter part of the Four
teenth century by Christian Rosen-
kreuza, German mystic, who dwelt for
a time in India and Egypt, where he
acquired a profound knowledge of the
occult arts.
The Rosicrpcians, like the alchem-
lists, pretended to transmute metals, to
prolong life and to possess knowledge
of what was occurring in distant
places. They first became known to
the world early in the Seventeenth
century, through the publication of
certain documents said to have been
issued by them; but according to many
authorities, their existence was ex-
tremely doubtful.
The Rosicrucians were also called
the Brothers of the Holy Cross, from
the notion that the name is derived
from "crux" (cross), and rosa" (rose),
Brewer, however, says that the word
Rosicrucian comes from "ros" dew
and ''rosa" (rose). "Dew was con-
sidered by the ancient chemists as the
most powerful solvent of gold, and
cross in alchemy is the synonym of
light, because any figure of the cross
contains the letters l. X (1ight) -

Diameter of Universe
Is 10000 Milky Ways

The diameter of the universe is
the length of 10000 milky ways. And
this milky way yardstick is 10000
times the distance that light, travelling
10000 miles per second, covers in one
year. Light comes from the sun to
the earth in about eight minutes.
This is the conclusion of Prof Archi-
bald Henderson of the University OF
North Carolina, given in communiea-
ton In Science, the official organ of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science. He assumed that
space and the universe are construct
ed according to Elnstein's general rela-
tivity theory.

by the secretary, C. A. Brimmer. and
a report by the treasurer, Frank NJ.

velopment of the company's property

1t was decided that the property
would be bonded for $4,000, first
mortgage gold bonds to that amount
being issued against the property.
Out of this amount $4,000 will be
sold. This amount will give plenty
of money with which to pay all out
standing Indebtedness against the
company and will also give the COM
pany sufficient money to develop the
property. A reserve of $4,000 in
bonds will be kept in the treasury
for use in the future at any time ad-
ditional club house facilities must be
provided.
Work on fixing up the course will
be started Immediately and within a

exceptionally fine condition.

OIL SUPPLY co.
HAS WONDERFUL
PLANT In CITY

A study OF the assessment sched-
ules of this city will reveal many
interesting things but so far this
year the outstanding feature da-
yeloped is the wonderful plant which
the Frick-Reid Oil Supply company
has at this point.
This concern has located in Raw
Inns during the past year, coming
here when we already had two large
companies operating in the city.
Officials Of the company checked
over the field carefully and after
this check stated hat they felt this
point would be an ideal location
That these officials were sincere
in their opinion and hat their opin-
ion Is being verified Is shown from
the amount OF property turned In
for 1924 assessment purposes. The
total amount turned in for assess-
ment is Sis, 500. OF this amount
$4,000 represents merchandise On
hand and $500 represents building.
There is probably not a resident
in the city who realizes the immense
stock of merchandise which this firm
is carrying at this point. 1t is a ser
tainty that the needs of operating
oil companies can well be cared for
from a stock OF over one HID bred
thousand dollars.
