Iowa hogs have been selling in
Chicago for $40 and over. This is the
highest price since 1S70-forty years
ago. AS the greatest hog-producing
state in the union it does not become
Iowa to complain of the high price of
pork. The figures may seem appalling
to the city consumer, but they mean
more automobiles on Iowa farms and
more pianos in Iowa homes.

a PRAYER

On Monday last there was printed
at the head of these columns under
the heading Thought for the Day.
the following quotation
Spare me from the bitterness and
the sharp passion of unguarded
moments. May | not forget that pov-
erty and riches are of the spirit. And,
although age and infirmity overtake
me, and | come not within sight of
the castle of my dreams, teach me
to be thankful for life, and for time
olden memories that are good and
sweet. and may the evenings twilight
md me gentle STILL
In the same connection inquiry was
made If anyone could tell us who is
the author of this beautiful sentiment.
Prompt reply was made b. Mrs.
George A. Brinkman, 623 Bank street,
that the quotation was from prayer
by Max Ehrmann. I'VE are fortu-
nate she writes, lin having it in
Old English letters framed and hung
on the wall where we can see it read

might pass it along with the many
good things you give lis under
Thoughts for the day Mrs. Brink
man is entitled to a vote of thanks
from the readers of The Gate City,
among whom are many admirers of
the beautiful III literature, for the full
text OF the Prayer of which the above
excerpt is fragment. The petit
ton in its entirety IS as follows:
A PRAYER.
Let me do my work each day. and
If the darkened hours of despair over
come ne, may / not forget the
strength that comforted me in the des-
olation of other times.
May still remember the bright
hours that found me walking over the
silent hills of my childhood. or dream
ing on the margin of the quiet river
when a light glowed within me, and /
promised my early God to have eour-
age amid the tempests of the chang
| ing years.
Spare me from bitterness and from
the sharp passions of unguarded mo-
ments.
May | not forget that poverty and
riches are of the spirit.
Though the world know me not, may
my thoughts and actions be such as
! shall keep me friendly with myself.
Lift mine eyes from the earth, and
| let me not forget the uses of the
! stars.
1 Forbid that | should Judge others
( lest I condemn myself Let m not
! follow the clamor of the world, but
/ walk calmly in my path.
Give me few friends who will love
me for what l am; ard keep ever
burning before my vagrant steps the
kindly light of hope.
And though age and infrmity over
take me, and l come not within sight
of the castle of my dreams. teach me
still to be thankful for life, and for
time'solden memories that are good
and sweet: and may the evening g
twilight find me gentle still.

CHAMBER OPPOSES
ANNEXATION Plan
Adopts Resolution Disappearing
of Agitation for Consolida=
ton of Cities

OAKLAND, Nov. 22.-At the semi
monthly meeting of The board of direc-
tors of the chamber of commerce today
resolution was passed against annex
alton to San Francisco. The directors
went on record that all the conlmuni-
ties about the bay should work ir
harmony now to secure the Panama
Pacific international exposition an6
that further agitation of annexation
of the communities about the bay witt
San Francisco would tend to antagonize
this feeling which might prove dis
astrous to the fair.
The resolution in part reads:
In view of the fact that the di-
rector of the United States census
reports that there is in the com,
shore of the bay of San Francisco
population of approximately
25o,o00 people, showing pheno-
menal growth and shaping mag
niflcent destiny, and;
Whereas, these communities are
contiguous in territory with an
identity of interest that is. in fact,
welding them into civic unity. and
will create here city that is to
be a power in the industry and
commerce of the Pacific coast. and.
Whereas, the favorable ,condi-
tions which here exist and the ex-
pansion which is evident have
caused another city to look with
covetous eyes upon this prosperity
and population and which. with
view of increasing its political in
f1uence and industrial prestige,
would annex cities separated by
natural obstacles from becoming
homogeneous and organic, thus
creating a cumbersome and un-
wieldy municipality dominated by
the voters within the present civic
boundaries of San Francisco and
the interests and influences which
control them, therefore be IL
Resolved, that the chamber of
commerce of Oakland is opposed to
consolidation with or annexation to
San Francisco.
1t was voted to ask the citizens ant
business interests of San Francisco t
discontinue further agitation in th'
matter at this time.
The proposed new city charter wa
heartily indorsed and every effort viii
be put forth by the chamber to secur'
the adoption of the charter.
