FARMERS ARE DOING WELL
Their Earnings This Year Are ST..
100000 Greater Than They
Were ia the Year 1906.

New York, Sept 3.-The American
farmers earnings are a thousand mil
lion dollars greater this year than
last, according to a preliminary reporC
on crops which will be published in
the next issue Of the American Agri-
culturist. This gain is entirely due to
the increased prices of farm products.
as the production in general will be
fully 10 per cent. smaller than in 1906,
which was the bumper year
THE farmer was never before in so
healthy a position as he is today finan-
cially, socially, politically, mentally
and spiritually" says the report 1.-THE
increase in the value of his real es.
tate has been prodigjous. He owes less
money than ever before. He has great

Was an Appointee of Lancoln.

When he resigned Judge Jacks 81
was the oldest jurist ola the federal
bench aI@ the only one left who had
been appofRted by President Lincoln.
This was long his chief claim to dis
t;nctiOn, but was forgotten In the up
roar that went mp when he waded IN
with a fistful Of injunctions to prevent
the organization Of the West Virginia
miners. Jackson was a big, deep
chested man, with a flowing, patri-
archaI beard. He was forty-four years
in active service on the bench.
Begins His Injunction Career.
His connection with strike injunc-
ton matters began in 1902, when, with
Mother Jones at their head and ban
ners flying in the breeZes, the organ
izers of the United Mine Workers in
vaded the West Virginia coal fields.
They had bands of music and song
books in Lithuanian, with chants
about the working class" The mine
owners applied to Judge Jackson for
an injunction against the organizers,
and got one. The judge ordered the
organizers not to interfere "either by
threats or menaceS, or any other form
Of intimidation, not to trespass upon
the property Of the companies land
not to linger on the 'highroads or
paths along which the miners went
to work" The organizers thus en-
joined disobeyed and We're sent to Jail
for periods ranging from thirty to
ninety days.
That Started the Denunciation.
For this the judge was berated by
labor unions from one end Of the coun-
try TO the other and was criticised in
many other quarters. He gave the so,
cialists texts for many months Of pro-
paganda. Through it al, however, his
integrity was never questioned,

New York, Sept. 3.-An unusual case
came to the attention of the police
when they found Richard Reynolds, a
young Swedish blacksmith, who came
here from WATERFOWL, n. Y, to see
Prince Wilhelm, wandering about the
streets in starving condition, despite
the fact that he had money order for
$1,000. The order reached Reynolds in
reply to a request he had sent to his
home, and as it was Sunday he could
not get it cashed.
Reynolds, who had eaten nothing
since Friday, wandered about. until
night, when, nearly insane from hun
ger, he appealed to the police. He was
taken to a restaurant, where he ate
ravenously, and will be cared for until
he can get his order cashed and start
for home.

Manufacturers of alcohol medi-
cinal compounds, malt extracts,
