A CANNING FACTORY


The farmers in this vicinity, not
many years ago, used to raise only one
or two crops, which they harvested
and sold in the fall. This was the
time in the year when they got hole
Of money the rest OF the time they
were hard up for ready cash.
Dairying has changed this consider
ably.
Still another means giving the farm.
er many harvests year would be te
put in a canning factory. He could
then sell his peas in June, his cucum'
bers in July, and his corn in August
and his pumpkins in the fall, with
other crops thrown in. He would get
cash for his produce.
Another advantage would be that
he would get as much from five or ten
acres in produce as he now gets from
his whole farm. Oats, or some crop not
needing much care, could be put on
the rest; or it could be seeded down
and fed to the cows which were at
the same time bringing a monthly
check from the creamery.
This county should not try to COM
pete with Kansas and Nebraska in
corn, nor with Dakota in grain. But
we have as good soil as there is on
earth for garden produce and grass.
The creameries we all ready have.
Push them, and at the same time get
a canning factory-then watch the
value Of your farms go up. your bank
accounts increase, your sons and
daughters have plenty of we'll paid
work, and every body prosper. You
can do it if you will.

OF voters who have been acting in op-
position to the governor cannot for the

have done so. He is dictatorial; he
lacks tact; he is trying to build up a
political machine; he wants to go to
the United States Senate, this, that,
or something else, drawn from hatful

against him. Not single dishonest

Presbyterians and Future Punish
Inent

One of the most interesting features o.
the session of the Presbytery of Norfolk
at Gloucester last week was the report on,
and discussion in connection with, the
following overture that was presented
to the Presbytery:
'Does the disbelief in the future
punishment of the wicked, and the be-
lief in the annihilat:on of the wicked,
disaualify for membership in our
church ~
The overture was referred to the COM
mittee on bills and Oyertures, the ma
iority of which recommended an affirma-
ton answer.
Rev. DR.. j. Z. Thacker, of Norfolk,
a member of said committee, offered
minority report as substitute, which
recommended that the overture be
answered as follows "All who earn.
estly and sincerely believe in the LORD
Jesus Christ, are born again OF the
Holy Spirit and submit to Christs laws
have a right to membership in His
church."
DR.. Thacker argued that the answer
he proposed is the positive requirement
of church membership, and that all who
hold it in deed and in truth should DC
received into the church. He admitted
however, that it might be possible TOR
person to have such negative belief as t
preclude the possibility Of his having tn
required positive beliefs.
The majority report was adopted b.
the Presbytery almost unanimously.
The majority of the committee sustain
ed the principle of DR.. Thacker's pro
posed answer to the overture, but the.
didn't think it an adequate answer.

nir BRYAN AM Aaron.

William ]. Bryan addressed an open
air meeting at Marysyille, Mo-, yester-
day, pleading for the election Of joseph
w. Folk, democratic candidate for gov
ernor OF Missouri, and touching on ma
tional ISSUES.
Mr.. Bryan said that he believed that
his hearers would give him credit for
courage enough to oppose Parker openly
if be did not regard him as the best
man for the place, and said he hoped
that his reputation for truth and We.
racitv was such that his friends would
believe him when he said he was sup
porting the democratic nominees py
every means in his power.
Mr.. Bryan said that he was supporting
Parker because in all things where
Parker was weak, according to his view,
Roosevelt was weaker. He said that ne
had pronounced Imperialism to be the
paramount issue four years ago, and
that he still held the same opinion. de
closed his speech with an appeal to the
democrats to support the national ticket
so that if Parker should be successful
the supporters of the Kansas City and
the Chicago platform would be in line to
take up those things they always had be-
lieyed in and which they still believed.
Mr.. Bryan addressed a large out
door meetingin Elm Park in Chillicothe,
Mo-, yesterday afternoon. Having been
introduced as the man who would some
day be president of the United States,
Mr.. Bryan said that be used to think he
would be president, and that he was the
Moses Of the democratic party. "Bat |
don't think so now," he said. "Moses,
you know, was slow of speech, and the
Lord selected Aaron as his speechmaker.
| believe that l am then Aaron rather
than the Moses of democracy. | am
willing to be the Aaron of the party II
our Moses, who, bas been so slow OF speech
will but lead the people out of the.wiIder-
ness"

Dowie a Rooseveltlte.

Apostolic denunciation of the demo-
cratic party, its principles, its candidate
for president and its individual adher-
ents and praise for President Roose-
Welt aud his party were thundered by
John Alexander Dowie, at Zion City,
in the first official message delivered
BY the "First High Priest on Earth.
To an audience of 5000, sweltering
for three hours in Shiloh Tabernacle,
the 6rst apostle condemned the demo,

instructed his thousands of followers 10
vote for President Roosevelt as the
.ssrandest man of the hour. Then
all promised repeatedly and yoci-
feriously to vote as John Alexander
wished.
With the sermon came the announce
ment of the "Theocratic party" pro-
mulgated by the general oyerseer to
overthrow government "Of the people, "
for the people, of the people and by
the people," replacing it by divine
system OF administration that is later to
control this country aud finally the
whole world, wiping out republics, king
doms and other present governmental
forms. Parker is prodigal son, -
said Dowie. ''He comes back after
eating the swine husks of the silvertie'
for eight years, and because of his re
turn be immediately wants to be made
boss of the whole ranch. He is no
pledged to the gold platform. He merel!
has committed himself to say that TN
