BIG FEEDERS HAVE FAITH.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-While the operat-
or in cattle in a small way seems faint
hearted the coterie of beef makers
known as "the big feeders" are display
ing decided activity. This is usually
their policy when thin cattle are cheap
and on that score there is little room
for complaint ut the present time.
Watch the big feeders" has been an
axiom with the rank and file. When
Dave Rankin deems the situation suffi-
GENTLY promising to justify the pur-
chase of $500 thin cattle, it looks as
though the big feeders are doing some
thing.
Distillery feeders are also active ex-
pecung to make enough on this years
operations to recoup their last season 5
losses. If activity of the big feeders
means anything the man with the linn
tied area feed lot is justified in begin
ming operations.

organized militia, including officers of
every rank, is lie, 542.
Fail to Meet Obligation.

~
Regarding the dependable strength of
the militia in time of national peril, the
adjutant general states that although
the obligation of officers and men of the
militia to respond promptly to a sudden
call of the president has been on the
statute books more than 100 years, ex-
p%erience has shown that this obligation
is a theory rather than a fact"
The report says that only about 80 of
each original company were finally re-
ceived in the service of the United States
in the war with Spain.
Hindered by Employers.
Continuing, the adjutant general
states that there is an explicable opposi-
ton on the part of employers to permit
ting their employees who are members
of the national guard to leave their
work to participate in encampments, as
well as in responding to calls for serv-
ice from the state.
Status of Labor Unions.
The adjutant general comments al
length on the opposition developed in
some quarters to the militia law. which
he says is less on the whole than was an
ticipated. He says it is true that certain
radical leaders of the labor unions re-
gard the militia as a mi to their
purposes, although it is doubtful, he
adds. if this enmity extends to any con
siderable portion of their membership.
