be down to market with steam
engine. At that time shall the
dwellers in thy cities wax rich
by the bartering of thy merchan-
disc. And they shall loan their
money and buy much property

I In those days even after many
years shall the farmers Of this
land of Meade ride in buzz wag-
ons and their sons shall take
there best girls riding in the
same. Also when the hail shall
destroy thy crops of wheat at
the time of harvest, thou shalt
not weep therefore but plant the
same at once with maize, or
kahr corn or whatsoever summer
crop doth please thee, and cult1-
uate the same and reap the IN
crease thereof, and behold in the
fall, there shall wheat spring up
on that field and grow and flour
ish and the next year shalt thou
reap. an abundant harvest OF
wheat therefrom
The sign of all these things
shall be that ye shall begin to
overthrow the oppressors Of thy
people, the trusts, moneychang-
ers and jugglers of finance.
At that time shall arise lead
ers of the people, La Toilette,

deliver the people out of their

Now is The Time 10 Get
That Flour Mill

A Touring mill would be a good
industry for Meade, and it would
be a profita BILE investment for the
owners. The ability of the
country surrounding Meade to
supply mill of large capacity
with wheat is not a matter of
speculation, for the crop has now
been raised here in constantly
increasing acreage for more than
20 years. Neither is there any
doubt, Of the quality for making
the highest grade of flour pro-
duced any place. The merits of
the southwestern wheat as a mil
ling wheat of high standard has
been demonstrated fully in times
past. This county each year
ships considerable No. 1 wheat.
w heat making that grade is not
plenty in any part of the country
and the fact that it has been pro-
duced here with comparative
regularity for years is conclusive
proof that the product of the
farms here is very desirable as a
milling wheat.
Is there sufficient territory
tributary to Meade to insure
sufficient quantity OF grain to
keep a large plant running the
year round?
In these columns we recently
mentioned the vast territory
naturally dependant on Meade
as a market. That is only one
direction and while in other
directions there is not SO large a
scope Of country to draw from

ated as this place is yet. mill 10
Gated here would experience no
trouble to get from the region
which could market at other
points the best Of their crop.
OF course it is not necessary to
mention the facility with which
can be bought up the road in car
lots. Another great advantage
which a mill located at Meade
would have is in buying direct
from the farmers in comparative
" large lots. There are num-
Der OF farmers from whom the
mill could buy in 5000 lots and up
to those producing above 10000.
Of those raising for sale in one
year more than 5000 bushels
there are not many. And as the

OF HRAAAR
The Son of JohO1iCus, Which
he Saw in The Days of
Cleveland, The

And it came pass in the days
when Cleveland, called the Gold

that Ithamar the son of Johollcus
the scribe lay upon his bed in
the night, and behold he dream
ed a dream, and had vision of
Q his head upon his bed.
The vision was for many years
even of the days to come, and
things which should come to
pass in the land of the Meadites.
And the vision was true but the
thing was sealed, until the times
should charge and the people
understand.
A These are the words Of the
vision which Ithamar, the son of
Joholicus the scribe, saw even
as he lay upon his bed in dug
out on his claim.

many years, even in the days of
thy son; even in his day, when

BETTORS LOSERS AGAIN
For Third Time California
Courts Uphold Walker
Otis Law.

San Francisco, Dec. "a Spectators
who insist on losing their money will
have a hard time in finding anybody
to relieve them of their roll" If the
courts of the state insist on handing
down opinions. For the third time
within as many weeks the Walker
Otis anti betting bill was declared con-
stitutional yesterday. The case in
court this time was that of Charles
Schwartz, who was arrested last July
for betting on a baseball game Judge
Dunno overruled a demurrer in the
case, but it is thought if some lap
hole can be found the case will be
taken to the highest court.
The first case tried was that of
wagers made on a coursing match. The
bettor lost that. Then came test on
oral betting al Oakland, and that was
also declared illegal The sports now
believe that if two or more want to
risk their money a hole in the ground
will have to be sought
The fact that the courts so unanf-
mously have upheld the anti-betting
statute may cause the Jeffries- johnson
fight promoters to look somewhere else
than California. It is figured that a
large number Of the betting fraternity
from the east will come to the coast
figuring on making their expenses off
the native sons" but if the lid is GO
ing to be on there will be small chance
of anything in that line being pulled
off
Thousands of dollars will undoubted-
ly be wagered on the heavyweight con
test, and as a matter of fact, large
sums of money have already been de-
posted on the outcome between the
white and black. If the reform move
