The Packers.

We have for a long time contend
ed that the farmers are not getting
their share of the exorbitant prices
which the consumer is compelled
is compelled to pay for meats of
different kinds. An investigation
just made by Secretary Wilson of
the National Department of Agri-
culture shows that the Packing
Trust, after paying dividends on its
millions of watered stock and sink
ing other millions in betterments of
one sort and another, still declares
a net annual profit of 35 per cent,
on its investment half of which is
fictitious.
So after all, there is no occasion
for you to 90 into paroxySisms of
10y over so-called republican
prices" because the Packing Trust
is rifling the farmers pockets as
well as the consumers. When this
gang of thieves are making about
85 per cent on the amount of
money they actually have invested
there is nothing so remarkable
about nine cent hogs. There are a
lot of people in this country who
have gotten their mental apparatus
in such shape that they are afraid
to think. So long as they are max
ing little money they take thinge
as they come without asking any
questions, If we had our way
about it we would invoke the Sher-
man Antitrust law and compel
this gang Of thieves not only to pay
the farmer a fair price for his hogs
and cattle at all times but above
all to reduce the cost of meats to
the poor consumer who is fighting
for a bare living today as he has
never fought before. -Colum b i a

The Obedient Boy.

A little boy was sailing a boat
With a playmate a good deal larger
than he was.
The boat had sailed a good way
out in the pond, and the big boy
said: Go in, Jim, and get her. 1t
isn't over your ankles, and I've been
in every time"
II daren't" said Jim. I'll carry
her all the way home for you. but
can't 90 in there; she told me
mustn't dare to-"
Who's she?"
My mother" replied Jim, rather
softly.
Your mother! Why, l thought
she was dead,P said the big boy.
That was before she died. Eddie
and / used to come here and sail
our boats. and she never let us
come unless we had strings enough
to haul in with. l amt afraid; you
know I'm not; only she did not
want me to, and can't do it."
Wasn't that a beautiful spirit
that made little Jim obedient to his
mother even after she was deadS

The ladies SojournerS Club of
Kirksville is making arrangements
to build a public library building
and are asking the assistance of the
citizens of their city. The ladies
who belong to the P. E. o. society
of this city have built up a public
library of which they and the citi-
zens should be proud. They have
nearly one thousand volumes and
one dollar pays for a ticket for an
entire year. With this well select
ed library there should be several
hundred tickets sold every year
but there is not. Buy a ticket and
thus encourage the ladies in their
good work and you will find great
pleasure in reading many of the
books. 1t will be a good invest
ment, one that will yield big divi-
dends. Try it. "

Bible Class is Fraternal.

Oklahoma City, Ok.-The only
Sunday school class of its kind in
the United States, so far as known,
is that organized in the Christian
church at Chickasha. of which the
Reverend Andrew F. johnson is
pastor The policies of the organi-
cation are the same as in any other
fraternal order. The members are
pledged to care for each other in
distress.
If a member becomes i'll or meets
with an accident. he is provided for
without any expense to himself.
All the features of the fraternal So
ciety are there except the death
benefit.
The time has come for the
church to do its part of the work
that has so long been left to fra
ternal societies" said Mr.. johnson.
Il want to see the fraternal Bible

over the entire country. have no
patent on it. We hope to soon
have a membership of ZOO"

city, across the seas, playing on his
violin.
He was very Indifferent player,
and the crowd surged by, not car
ing to listen to him, and few indeed
were the coins he received.
He was almost discouraged, for
life was hard to him. The price of
one of the costly dresses, or of the
dream hats of the ladies who pass
ed him by unnoticed would have
kept him comfortably for many
weeks. Still he played on The
lively jigs chorded lily with his
dreary mood.
Little street children danced for
a moment on the pavement, as they
love to do in the cities, but were
swept away by the passing crowd.
What did life hold for him?
1t was getting late in the Autumn
afternoon and he had not earned
enough to pay for a supper and his
poor nights lodging.
A stranger came to him and said:
Let me take your violin and you
hold out your hat"
Nee hanically, compelled by some
thing in his manner or his face, the
poor man passed his instrument to
him.
The stranger began to played. He
played softly at first and then the
music grew clearer and sweeter.
The warbling of spring birds and
the joyousness of Nature, soft love
tones, the jubilant notes of victory
the solemn, soulful music of spirit.
ual exultation, and the soft sobbine
of subdued sorrow were all inter.

A violin best voices the emotions
of the soul, if played by a skillful
artist who loves it most dearly.

listen and fingered. A crowd gath

lay of some day to rest O sore finger
and discover afterwards that q scont,
who had travelled thousands Of miles
to see him play. was In the stands,
and that he lost his chance Of promo
tion by remaining idle on that day.
II is related that Dreyfuss was sit
ting In a buggy on dusty country
turnpike near Goshen, o., watching
the schoolmaster playing Anthony
over" with the boys. The schoolmas-
ter caught the ball, wound up, and in
stead OF throwing It back over the
roof Of the school, curved II around
the building and hit one of the boys
In the back. Dreyfuss thereupon
climbed out OF his buggy and signed
the schoolmaster to pitch for Pitts
burg thereby discovering Sam Lever,
one Of the greatest Of pitchers.
Dan O'Leary, when he was manager
Of the Indianapolis club, arranged an
exhibition game with the team repre-
senting q small town near the Indiana
capital. The small town team looked
fairly strong, but complained that their
best player had been forced to work
that day, refusing to remain idle when
he could make 81 at his trade. O'Leary
volunteered to persuade the player to
get into the game. He hired horse
and buggy, drove three miles into the
country and found the player busily
engaged In shingling a barn. O'Leary

the early part Of 1907 four scouts rep
resenting four major league clubs
were in the stands at Springfield, ILL.,.
at one game, watching Doyle, for
whom eight clubs had already made
bids. The New York club, fearing
some other club would get the player,
paid t4,500 for him by telegraph with
out seeing him play, thus securing
great second baseman. In 1909 IL
clubs were bidding at one time for
Blackburn of Providence, who went to
Comiskey's Chicago team. Tad"
Jones. the Yale catcher and football
player, received offers from every
major league club in the country dur
ing his senior year. but he refused to
become a professional
/ or the 325 approximately players
carried on the pay rolls of the major
leagues during a season, not more
than 100 are really finished and com
petent players. 1t is extraordinary II
ten out Of the army of recruits tried
out each spring develop even enough
strength to hold substitute position
with the major league clubs, and the
discovery of really great player Is as
unusual as the finding of Koh-i-poor.
I There is a moderate supply of good"
players, men of the ordinary ability,
but extremely few of the Cobb, Wag-
ner, Speaker, Mathewson, Brown,
Killing and Leach class.
The close specialization in the mod
ern game would amaze persons who
rate all players merely as ball play
ers," forgetting that the president of a
railroad is railroad man" Just as
the brakeman is. Players now come
as specialists in certain positions and
insist upon signing to play that posi-
tion alone. There are rare men, such
as Leach of Pittsburg, Parent of the
Chicago White Sox, Hoffman Of the
Cubs, and Wagner, who can play in
almost any position.
Yet some of the biggest baseball
finds" of years have resulted from
the fact that managers knew better
than the men themselves where their
proper positions were. In many In
stances men taken from one position
and placed in another Immediately
showed remarkable improvement.
Frank Chance, the Peerless Leader"
OF the Chicago Cubs, was a catcher.
He declared he could not play first
base and refused to play there, threat
ening to retire from baseball when
Manager Selee ordered him to that
position. Even then he baked until
Selee offered him an increased salary,
when he reluctantly consented to
make the attempt. Roger Bresnahan
imagined he was a pitcher, tried the
infield. failed at both places, but then
developed into one Of the greatest OF
catohers. Fred Parent. after a bril-
liant career as short stop and a fair
showing as a second baseman, late in
bis career discovered that he was a
better player in the outf1eld than in
the infield. Joe Tinker refused to
play short stop, insisting that he was
o third baseman, and was persuaded
with difficulty to try the position at
which he became famous.

As an amusement enterprise base
ball today is scarcely second to the
theater. II caters to millions Of spec
tators and represents an investment
OF perhaps s100,000,000 in property
and players. The property holdings
of the National and American leagues
alone represent an investment Of
about s15,000000. The 16 major
league clubs pay over 100000 sea
son in salaries to players and spend
nearly as much in securing and trying
out new players. Add to this the salary
lists of 9S minor leagues, and the
wages paid by thousands Of semi
professional clubs, and the immensity
Of the baseball business as an amuse-
ment enterprise may be imagined.

book. after having been thoroughly
revised by the author has been
read critically By a committee
suggested by the First presidency
and been duly accepted as worthy
Tho study OF all who expect TO take
part in the ministry Of the Lat
ter-day Saints.
Now. while the first requisite OF
a Latter-day Saint preacher Is a
testimony OF the gospel, and the
second. a wide range OF facts and
truths to sustain that testimony,
these prime qualifications become
effective only TO the extent that he
can invoke and hold the attention
OF his audience. In other words.
his effectiveness will depend, to a
very large extent. upon his method
Of presentation. In this respect.
Elder Nelson's book will be found
helpful. We. therefore. cordially
