OnE WEEK MORE
 OF THE CONVENTION FIVE MORE PROPOSITIONS FOR THIRD READING. The Question of a Campaign for Rati-
 fication Is Being Considered.

It is now pretty certain that the con- stitutional convention will not be ready for final adjournment before the latter part of the week only five propositions are yet to be considered by the convention for third reading and final passage. They relate to amend ments to the constitution; the em- ployers' liability provision; compulsory compensation and the proposition validating existing statutes. In addi- tion there is ordinance No. providing for the first state election.
 These will be received this morning from the committee on style, revision and compilation, and. in the opinon of members, they will be disposed of at the morning session.
 A dozen of the more important propositions ana several smaller ones comprising the bulk of the constitution have been received from the printer and are ready for final consideration, which will probably be begun tomor- row. It is not thought that this will consume a great deal of time. for it it is not likely that attempts will be made at amendment at this stage. though that is possible.
 The measures acted upon last Sat urday have not yet been sent to the printer but that will be done today and they will probable be back before the convention on Wednesday. Then nOth- ing will remain but the five propOsi- tions and the ordinance already men toned
 Now that the constitution is so nearly finished the makers of it are worrying somewhat about it's fate at the hands of the voters Though it is generally believed that 1t will be rati- fled, the leaders in the convention are not as sure of that as they would like to be.
 Therefore, caucus was held yester- day looking toward the organization of a campaign in behalf of the constitu- tion and the question of financing it has. naturally arisen. It would be rather embarrassing to make 1t a party matter and call upon the democratic territorial committee for help.
 The leaders know that there is wide spread objection to the constitution but they do not believe that there will be any organized opposition. On the Oth- CT hand they are not sure that it is not sufficiently spontaneous to be fatal

YOAKUM SAYS POLITICIAN IS FARMERS WORST foe.
Frisco System Cut Transit Farmers
Convention Theme That Producer Shipper Will Combine
Fo0dsufs May Be Raised Meet Mutual Combination

City and delivered them to the con-
sumer took thirteen cents a dozen

The farmers and the railroads
have something to cooperate with
and something to cooperate for.
First, let us eliminate the men who
talk radical ideas to foster hatred
and malice between the producer and
transporter. We do not need any
middle agent. We can talk straight
at one another and save money by
doing so. In short, let us work to-
gether.
Tie farmer works to produce the
food, the consumer works to pay for
1t. the dealer under organized meth
ods takes the lions share of the
profits. 1t is through organization
of the producers working closely with
the transporters that foodstuff can be
placed on the table CT the consumer
at fair price.
An We hear from Washington is
military explorations and unimport-
ant political controversies. All We
hear from most of our Congressman
and State legislators is the preaching
or false doctrines against the institu-
tions OF the country. There is seldom
a word of encouragement for the up
building and development of the
country's resources. Another de-
mand being urged through your Of
ficers Is more liberality in National
appropriations toward agricultural
projects and less money for battle
ships. National legislation to aid
agriculture is Of the greatest import
ance.''
The railroad director closed with
strong appeal to the farmers that
when their legislative committee
asked for more liberal appropriation
for agricultural development they
were touching the heart of the Ma
tion's future and they should definite
ly outline their policy on that ques-
ton. ITO succeed you must be spe.
cific," he declared.

CHERRY, THE CANARY.

Last Fourth of July. instead OF get
ting fireworks, my brother and I got
a canary bird. He is 4 lovely singer,
and sometimes he sings so loud that
we have to tell him to be quiet. The
more We talk, tie louder he sings.
Whenever my father or uncle comes
into the room, CHEEKY begins to fiut-
ter his wings and make his little
mouth go so hard that he can hardly
talk in his little bird language
CHEEKY does not like to take n bath
at all, and the only way he gets one
is when mother PUTS him in a bowl of
water and covers him with a colander
and makes him walk around in the
water. But when she takes him
out and puts him back in his cage
the first thing that he does is to try
to get in his water cup and take an
other bath in that.-Doris Staunton,

St. Louis, Mo.-Excessive profit
taking by mi6dleTel was the reason
assigned fer high rates of fcodstuffs
by b. F. Yoakum, chairman of the
Frisco system. in an address which
he made before the National Conven-
tion of the Farmers Educational and
Cooperative Union, in conference in
this city. He declared that the heavy
reductions in freight rates of the
last few years had been absorbed by
the dealers and not shared in by the
farmers or consumers.
The railroad man described the
deuagogic politician as a disturbing
and expensive middle agent, and
urged that he be cut out in the deal
ings which the railroads and the
farmers should have with each other,
because he fosters malice.
The most important force for the
welfare OF the Nation will come when
the land owners of America are or
ganiZed," eaid Mr.. YoakIm. This
organization is important lot only for
the benefits which viii come to the
farmers, but on account of money,
which will he saved by the consumers.
1t is not prices received by farmers
which make living expenses high, but
the profits OF the dealers handling
the foods between tie farmer and
consumer.
The Florida farmer receives S2.25
for bushel Of green beans, the rail-
road gets fifty cents for the SOO-mile
haul to New York City, and the con-
sumer pays S6.40 for this same bushel
OF beans. There is tnirty-five per
cent. for the grower, eight per cent
for the carrier, and fifty-seven per
cent. for the dealer. This is not a
fair division.
Thirty cents a dozen was the av-
erase price of eggs in New York City

of the seal on the red wax. 1t was
an hour-glass and the motto, "Time is
short" They knew how it was done,
for they had seen father seal letters.
When they grew up they meant to
write letters and have a seal them
selves.
They were glad Cousin Jane was
coming. She had wavy, brown hair
and bright, brown eyes. She laughed
merrily and she liked to see Gyp
stand and beg. When three odd shoes
were found in his kennel and father
wondered to whom they belonged,
and mother declared she could not
have a dog that stole from the neigh
bors, and the little girls trembled for
Gyp's fate. Cousin Jane had laughed
gayly. She said he would be the
family provider; and she and Harriet
and Sue and Mary made calls, up and
down the street to restore the prop
erty. The children thought it grave
offense, but nobody scolded Cousin
Jane, at which they were somewhat
puzzled. So Harriet, Sue and Mary
were glad she was coming. Cousin
Benjamin and Cousin Caroline were
like other people who visited or dined
and OF whom the children had
glimpses. Cousin Jane was different.
