Devil Worshipers Must
Not Mention His Name

A strange tribe of yezId devil wor-
shippers" has been discovered In the
mountains OF Iraq by DR.. Edmund A.
Walsh, vice president of the George
town university.
This trihe.s he said. ''worshins the
evil spirit under the name Of Melek
Tans' symbolized by bronze pea
cock. before which they offer incense,
sing, dance and PROSTATE themselves.
Their history goes back at least to the
Seventh century.
"Their beliefs are contained In two
sacred books which are preserved Sc
cretly somewhere In the mountains
the Book Of Revelation and the Black
Book.
1.-THE Book OF Revelation, which no
foreigner has ever seen or been al
lowed to read, purports to contain the
personal instructions of Satan to his
chosen people. One Of the curious
injunctions OF his satanic majesty for
b..S the iezidi ever to mention his
name or even the syllables that com
pose It."

LET'S WHOOP AGAIN.

If the people of this town would
show as much interest in building up
the local community as they do in the
election of candidates to public office
we would be in vastly better condition
than we are today.
We would have more money float
ing in from the surrounding territory,
more people would be employed, local
business firms would be doing better
business, there would be fever vacant
buildings, local institutions would be
in better condition, and money would
be more plentiful in every home. e
We get out and whoop our heads off
for some candidate who doesn't even
remember that we are in existence af-
ter the votes are counted. We spend
Pour time and money urging everybody
and his wife's Aunt Sally to vote for
our man." We consider it duty to
laid the party" in every way. And we
do it without expectation Of any re-
ward
We are just exercising our rights as
American citizens for the good of all
of the people.
But why not expend at least por-
ton of that energy and brain power
for the benefit of our town and our
community and our own people? Why
not work and talk just as zealously in
an effort to encourage the business in
terests of this town? Why not take as
much interest in our own personal
incomes as we do in the salaries OF
the officials we elect to public office?
