PRAYERS OFFERED
 FOR YOUNG GIRL

New York February Especial )-spir- itualists and psychists not only in Nell York but the country over are praying today for the recovery Of the 15-year-old daughter of pr. James II. Hyslop, the leading spirit in psychical research in the country. who is desperately i'll with ty- phoid fever.
 out today by pr. Titus Bull, of the fa- nous Bell family of physicians. who is in attendance.
 The letter which pr. Bull wrote was read at the meeting of the Ladies' aux Hilary of the First spiritualistic church and was acted on immediately.
 q have done all that mortal power can do to save the life of pr. Hyslops daughter" wrote Dr. Bull, and have given up. The only thing that can save her life now is intervention of the spirit world, and write for your silent prayers to ask the spirits to do this. Without further word, the 50 women present bowed their heads in silent prayer for the half hour asked.
 At the home of the girl it was said to- night that she was Testing as easily as could be expected, and that there had been slight improvement In her condi- dition.
 It was impossible to learn whether pr. Hyslop recommended the course of the physician, for an effort to have him ex- press an opinion found him as non-com- initial as ever az to whether he really believed in a spirit world whose occu- pants could return to this world at will.
 Miss Hyslop has been i'll for three weeks. Her illness was at first thought only to be severe sore throat When Dr. Bull was finally called in, however, he declared that the young girl had really been suffering from walking typhoid, y which later developed into a severe case.

COPPER MERGER WILL
 BE A MODEL TRUST

Washington, February 6.--(Special.) ) The billion dollar copper merger the latest of J. P. Morgan's gigantic flnsn- cial enterprises, will be a model trust, embodying the good features pointed out in President Tafts federal incor- poration bill. according to a belief that grew current here today following the visits of George W. Perkins of J. F. Morgan & Co.,. and Frank A. Vanderlip, president of the Natiinal City bank of New York. MT. Perkins called upon President Taft. and this afternoon MT. Vanderlip made an extended visit at the White House.
 MT. Perkins is believed to have de- livercd to MT. Taft Wall streets ap- proval of the federal incorporation bill. He hoped that the measure would be framed quickly and become a law so that the copper merger might conform with all it's clauses MT. Perkins feels that the copper combination could go ahead with assurance, once the federal incorporation bill were enacted as a guide.
 MT. Morgan, through his representa- tive, said the copper merger ought to be the first combination formed under the new law, so 1t could be used as a model for future mergers.
 MT. Perkins speaking of the federal incorporation projects, said:
 Such a law would do much toward saving important business interests from the danger of frequent rumors that they are violating the sherman anti-t trust act'
 The big combinations are seeking to escape the numerous prosecutions in stituted simultaneously in many states. Mir. yanderlip, whose bank Is commonly called the Standard oil bank, could speak feelingly on this phase of the question, for the Standard has often been under fire in three states at once.

MT. Howard adds:
 There is very little of artificial in th& present era of high prices. We are told that the packing houses are responsibleE but we find out that the packer buyA steer and dresses him and sells th& dressed carcass to the retailer for lesss , money than he pays the farmer for theI same steer. The packer gets his profit bout of the by-product. Tue retailers ard not getting stoop-shouldered carryins. their wealth. Then what is the trouble [ There aint no trouble The farmer ia' simply coming into his own. He has been the bottom rail of the fence here in the. south ever since the war. but the botto N rail is getting out of the mud. Meat,' chickens. butter. eggs, wheat, corn and cotton are bringing no more than a fair price. The prices of these products are
 not disproportionate to the prices paid
 by the farmer for everything he buysn.
 ''Tshe farmer has been a newer of wood and a drawer of water for a long tiHe
 He has worked 14 hours a day, sent his children to school three months in the
 year. had no places of amusement to attend, wore coarse shoes, cheap clothes and was laughed at by his city cousin and called old hayseed. His city cousin haal lived in a painted house, ridden on street. cars while old hayseed drove yoke of steers through the mud, wore good clothes. sent his children to free school 10 months in the year, attended theatres. lectures and concerts, eat the best oiits of beef and mutton. the choicest ham, the finest fruits and berries, while old hayseed ate the fat sides of the hog and served as caricatures for the smart city cars toonist. saa asA
 Now the farmer is coming into his own. He gets his mail every day. He wears goods shoes and store clothes. His children go to school. They drive good horses or ride in automobiles. and the prices he obtains for his products are none too high. sssc And these prices have come to stay, And they will advance yet more. We are in the midst of the most boundless prosperity this country has ever known It is an era of high prices and there is no use in kicking. x~ .sfS
 "The farmer is coming in for his shasas and the world cannot live without his products. He laughs at the boycott flor people will eat. The farmer is going to get his share, for the God of supply and demand is on his side"

THAT REMINDS ME
Ex Congressman w. Howard of Fort Payne Takes Part d Farmer in the Fight Against High Prices of Food stufs-The Producer is Coming Into His Own
 and Deserves Share of Prosperity A
By WALTER HARPER.

Now comes ex-Congressman NJ. w. Howard of Fort Payne in defense of -igh prices and the long-sufferins farmer.
 MT. Howard may be depended upon tc defend that which he thinks is right. He doesn't stop to ask if proposition is popular. When he sees the right he is ready to fight for it.
 He declares that in all the agitation over high prices nothing is being said of the high cost of wagons, buggies, blows hoes, trace chains, cultivators. nails, shoes, clothes and the numerous other things that the farmer must buy.
 He also calls attention to the time when wheat sold for 50 cents corn for less and every other product of the farm brought starvation prices for the producer. The farmer is at last coming into his share of the country's prosperity and should not be begrudged the prosperity that is justly his own.
 Mir. Howard calls attention to the fact that this country is coming to be more and more a manufacturing community, and that more people are coming to town than are going to the country There are less sheep, hogs and cattle, yet more peo- ple to feed every year He declares that more stuff must be produced per acre to supply the normal demands of the coun- try; that prices will never be any lower in this country, but that business must be adjusted to the new scale of values. The farmer must and will have his lux uries as well as the reasonable necessi- ties of life. He will have his better schools, his automobiles and his private bank account. He will be able to go to town on improved roads instead of drag gins through mud, and will wear store bought clothes like his city brother.
 The consumer might as well prepare to pay the price of the farmers emancipa- ton. It is just and proper that ne should share in the increasing prosperity of the country and the consumer must pay the bills.
 But the prosperity of the farmer means added prosperity in every other. line of business. We are simply up against the proposition of a general readjustment of business that includes the farmer.
