The barley yield of 1909 will not be
quite as high as in 1908 owing to sew

moisture at the critical period in the

1907 and 1908 were not good seasons
for oats in this state. Extreme hot
weather during the period when the
crop was filing cut the yield severely.
The crop Of 1909 will, we should say
amount to in the neighborhood Of 40
100000 bushels Hot weather this year
affected the oats somewhat detriment-
ally, but not as seriously as during
the past two years.

stand against the writ of injunction.
The official organ of the American
Federation of Labor technically obey
ed the order regarding the publication
of the unfair list, but each month Mr..
Gompers had vigorous editorials on the
subject and also delivered number
of public speeches outlining his posi-
ton in the matter AS a result of
these proceedings the three principal
officers of the Federation were cited
before Judge Wright, who found them
guilty of contempt of court in their al
legged violation of the injunction and
sentenced them to Jail for one year
each. 1t is the appeal from this deci-
sion that will be argued by Alton B.

this year are large number of the

treatment is simple, it requires con

ing it must remain in doors for a day
or two, or fresh cold is almost sure
to be contracted, and in many in

next move and this is followed by the
arguments of the secretary to the con-
gregation and Promoter Fidei." Then
the final report, if favorable, is read
at three general assemblies of the
congregation. At the last assembly
the pope himself is present and rem
ders his decision. Then there is a
general congregation, held at the Vati-
can, the briefs are read, the TIE Deum
ehanted, the images or pictures on the
altar are unveiled and incensed and
the new collect is read.
Before the beatified can be canon
lied at least two miracles must have
been performed The name of the
beatlfied one is then presented again
to three congregations, at the last of
which the final ceremonies take place.
These various stages sometimes ex-
tend over centuries.

Catholic church are more beautiful

mony may be understood when it is
stated that it is deemed to be "the
public judgment of the Apostolic See
respecting the holiness. and glory of
one who is thereupon enrolled among
the beatified." 1t is declared that the
person thus honored led a perfect life
and that God worked miracles at his
or her intercession, either during life
or after death. In the case of Joan
of Arc the church has gone most
searchingly into the evidence and is
satisfied that she is worthy to be
called blessed

This is the case in which Messrs
Gompers, Morrison and Mitchell, as
president, secretary and vice presi
dent, respectively, of the American
Federation OF Labor, were sentenced
to Jail by Judge Wright for contempt
of court.
The case originated in November
1907, when j. w. Van Cleave, presi-
dent of the Bucks Stove and Range
company and also president of the Ma
tional Manufacturers Association. and
who is known as one of the most act.
i've foes of organized labor, brought
an action for $24000O damages against
the American Federation of Labor
and its executive council and at the
same time applied for an injunction
pending the determination of the orig
inal action, to prohibit the federation
from in any way advising organized
labor and its friends that the company
is unfair to its employees. On Deem
