Definite, positive instructions to vote
the Republican ticket, coupled With
threats of the administration Of divine
wrath of God Almighty upon those
who failed to vote this ticket, were
given out at the Granger meeting house
by Z. f. Rasmussen yesterday after
noon In his instructions Mr.. Rasmus-
sen likened President Joseph F. Smith
to Moses and urged the members of the
Mormon church to follow their Moses.
He said that had it not been for the
fact that the purpose of the enemies OF
the church had been discovered so late
there would have been but one ticket in
the field against them. He declared
that next year there would be but one
ticket in the field. His instruction to
vote the Republican ticket evidently
covered national. state, judicial, county
and precinct tickets.
]. II. Johnson, another speaker, de-
pIored the existence of the American
party. but declared emphatically that il
Could not hurt the Mormon church. He
said IL would die as the old Liberal
party died, and nothing more serious
would come of it He closed by telling
the people 10 vote whatever ticket they
chose to vote John HOllenberg, an
other speaker, closed with the admoni-
ton that all Mormons should unite in
political and temporal affairs as we'll az
in spiritual affairs
Mackay Sees It Coming.
Bishop Daniel McRae and County
Commissioner John c. Mackay, who
have been speaking at the Granger
meeting house for several Sundays and
exhorting the Mormon Democrats to
vote the Republican ticket. were not
present at the meeting. The meeting
house is in Commissioner Mackay' s
home ward. and he is taking every
possible method to counterfeit the pop
ularity of c. L. Miller. the Democratic
Mackay Despite the methods used by
Mackay and Bishop MeRae TO deliver
the Mormons of Granger over en- masse
to the Republican party. il is expected
by the friends OF Mr.. Miller that the
Democratic candidate will carry
Granger.
The open interference Of ecclesiasts in
politics is causing a reaction in
Granger just as IL has done in all
parts of the country. and because of
this fact Mormon Republicans by the
score will vote the straight Democratic
ticket as a matter of protest against
these methods. For this reason the
prospects of Democratic success in
never brighter than at present. G. J..
Miller is almost sure to be elected.
John B. Burbidge, for sheriff. has an
excellent chance, and the Bryan and
Knight wave that will sweep over the
county may carry other OF the county
candidates through to victory.

Richard c. wilkins, who presided at
the meeting. presented the excuses of
Bishop McRae and Mr.. Mackay, say
ing they had attended a funeral. Two
or three of the speakers made brief
talks on spiritual subjects. after which
John Hardy arose and said:
Il am sorry that l have not been able
to meet with You for the last two
meetings. I.have been so busy prepar-
ing to move to the south that l have
not been able to get here. am glad
TO meet with my brothers and sisters

THE TRUTH ABOUT MEDIUMS.
Perfectly Healthy People Often

Perfectly Healthy People often
Possess Abnormal Powers.
Il have had a good deal Of expert
ence with mediums, and I've come to
the conclusion that they all start with
at least some small basis of abnormal
power. Is 1t not rather suggestive that
the number Of practicing mediums does
not materially increase? If it were a
mere matter Of deception, would there
not be thousands at the trade? AS a
matter Of fact, there are not fifty ad-
vertising mediums in New York at this
moment, though, Of course, the number
is kept down by the feeling that it is a
bit disreputable to acknowledge posses
sion of these powers.
''There are nice ones. My own moth
er had this power in her youth, so my
father tells me. Her people were liv-
ing in Wisconsin at the time, and the
settlers from many miles around came
to see her perform. An uncle, when a
boy Of four, did automatic writing,
and an aunt recently wrote to me in re-
lation to my book, The Tyranny Of the
Dark that for two years beginning
when she was about 10 these powers
Of darkness made her life a hell. There
are many recent people who are posses
sed by strange forces, but are shy Of
confessing these abnormalities. Ask
your family physician. He will tell you
that he always has at least one patient
who is troubled by occult powers. They
call it 'hysteria.' which doesn't explain
anything. Many apparently healthy
people possess the more elementary Of
these powers-often without knowing
it"-Hamlin Garland in Everybodys.

Story of q War Trophy.

Bose Garth. Of Clinton, probably
made the first corn shelter used in Mis-
souri,. Fifty years ago, in 1853, he
devised one from wateroak plank and
tenpenny nails. He used it on his farm
until 1861, when Prices men came
through there, saw it was a good thing
and took it down to Jackson's mill,
where it was used to shell the corn
which was ground into meal for Con-
federate soldiers. The old corn shelter
was lost track of for a number of
years by it's maker. but afterward he
was Informed that it was being pre-
served at Washington among other Gu
rious trophies captured from the South.

Fighting Scale Insects.

In nothing do farmers more need eX-
Of insects that threaten the destruc-
ton of their hard-raised crops. Espe-
cial study has been given to the cot
ton boil weevil, particularly malicious
in Texas and Louisiana. The investi-
cation shows that dry weather Is de-
structive to the pest, but the entomolo-
gists agree that the worst enemy to
the weeyil is the native ant, sOlenOpsi5
geminata. Climbing the stalk for the
possible nectar Of the blossom, 1t en-
counters the weevil and seiZes him. The
rapid spread OF the ant is therefore
much to be desired by cotton growers,
and as a matter Of fact the tribe Is
advancing. Imported parasites have
been tried against the weevil, but with
poor results. This native combatant is
best.
Another large field for the entomolo-
gists, both State and Federal, says the
Craftsman, is the study of washes to
be used for the San Jose scale, the
enemy Of orchards from California.
where it first appeared, eastward to
the Atlantic border, where 1t now in
tests peach, plum, pear and apple trees.
Lime-sulphur washes have been expert
mented with, the Bureau Of Chemistry
aiding essentially In finding the best
proportions and the best manner Of
application. An efficient formula Is
-. aP
pounds of quicklime and Is pounds Of
either -four or flowers Of sulphur, boil
ed together for one hour. Salt and
sugar have both been tried with the
above ingredients, but the bureau finds
they add nothing to the efficacy Of the
furious growths on fruit trees are also
killed by this simple wash.
But better, because less trouble, is
the destruction Of the scale insects By
beetles and birds. This subject has
received the careful attention OF the
biologists Of the department The
cardinal and grosbeak are found to be
very fond Of the plum scale, which also
infests cherry trees. The black scale
is now in California more serious
pest than the San Jose, and no less
than twenty-nine species OF birds ara
known to eat it. They include wood
peckers, sparrows, vireos, wrens and
bluebirds. Indeed, fifty-seven species OF
birds feed upon some scale insects and
their eggs. Who knows but that, with
ont the aid OF birds, the various scales
would rob US Of all our fruit7
