GOOSEBONE SAGES
CONVENTION OF FORECAST IN.
TERPRETERs BREAKS UP IN
DISGUST AT REPORTS.
DISCUSS WINTER OUTLOOK
Much Conflicting Evidence for 5eIiev-
ers in the Goosebone, the Ground
hog, the WrinkIed Tomato, the
Thick Husk and Other Signs.

Channahon, lll.-The local nature
prophets can't quite agree on what is
coming off this winter in the way of
weather There is much conflicting
evidence, for believers in the goose
bone. the grounding. the wrinkled to-
mato, the thick corn husk and other
signs supposed to give a correct fore
cast to consider that at a gathering
of the prophets here no final forecast
was risked.
One prophet had the courage to rise
up and state that he had been in the
habit of basing his prediction for the
winter on what the weather was each
September 20, but that last year all
signs failed, due, he thinks, to the dis
concerning advent of Halley's comet
then approaching the earth. At the
finish, he had choice lot OF unfulflll-
cd forecasts on hand.
Following this abject confession Of
prophecies that failed, another mem
Der of the convention announced that
he pinned his faith to the appearance
OF tomatoes. Each autumn he digs up
a tomato vine and hangs IT in the Gel
lar. After giving the tomatoes on the
vine two weeks In which to line up
as weather prophets, he examines
them. If they are soft and wrinkled

test found them in that condition.
The consensus Of opinion among
those who have faith . in worms as
weather prophets is that. the winter
will be mild because worms have been
seen everywhere. and II 1t was to be
a cold winter the worms would be in
their steam-heated fats or some 9TH

Every grounding with any preten-

sign that the winter is to be mild.
Squirrels are depended upon by
many for a tip on the winter. This
year the squirrels have laid in a very
small supply Of nuts for the winter.
According to those who back the
squirrel as an authority this means
that the ground is to be bare and the
weather mild.

sively that hard winter Is coming.

Conserving Enthusiasm.


The ebullition of the laymen's
movement a year ago led some sober
minds to suggest the wisdom of CON
serving the enthusiasm before q re-
ceding tide set In They saw peril as
well as encouragement in the vast as
semblages Of men in various cities,
They seem to have been true in their
vision. At least leaders of the church
most conspicuous in the movement
are now going over the country seek
ing to conserve this enthusiasm. Able
men have been sent out to dam up
weak banks that have been overfowed
and store the waters for permanent
use.
This Is the day of lay activity in the
church. The preacher no longer does
Il all himself. He has learned that
he cannot, that the pulpit is but a
small part Of the church and that the
pew is very large part The COM
bined activities of the two go to make
what Is called the militant church. II
is necessary, though, for the laymen
to be coached a good deal to get them
to do their share, and that is thor
oughly appreciated In this EFFORT to
conserve the enthusiasm that followed
the advent of this great movement.
Eloquent. impassioned speeches were
taken for what they were worth, but
evidently the leaders are not capitaliz-
ing them above par, They have come
TO the Roosevelt idea that Words are
good. and only so when backed by
deeds" Even church banquets are
exhilarating But results cannot al
ways be measured by. the volume of
post-prandial oratory that flows from
such sources.
For the sake Of the good that might
come from the concerted action OF
thousands OF plain men under such an
organization Il is TO be hoped that this
conservation Of resources Will meet
with entire success. But there IL evil

The Aorobatio Champ.

Having Topped twice on the tariff
board proposition. Champ Clark now
has Topped twice on Canadian reci-
procity His Reputation of the en-
dorsement he and his party gave to
the presidents reciprocity plan, there
fore, need occasion no surprise. II is
only the Champ Clark idea of able
leadership. His party probably will
wake up some day to the fact that it
Is very peculiar idea.
When the democrats osuoused on
the Canadian reciprocity agreement
they we're divided, but a majority
favored it. Champ Clark, himself,
moved, and the nation carried, to
make their support unanimous. He
therefore committed himself and his
party to reciprocity Nor did he stop
there. He gave the president his
word that he would stand by. him in
HIS effort to pass the resolution at this
session Of congress. Then he comes
out in the house with that carefully
PtNpoA5N AANAShiS VI bhS WuOlS pan
and pretends that reciprocity is to be
but the opening wedge to annexation,
knowing that such agitation at this
time is calculated to do more harm in
Canada to the cause of reciprocity
than most any other thing.
1t may be good democratic politics
from Champ Clark's viewpoint, but
what the people of the country nay
think Of it is an entirely different mat
ter. Only If they prefer buncombe,
sophistry, transparent trickery to out
and-out sincerity, will they jump to
the support of the Champ Clark
crowd II is thoroughly unworthy for
anyone to pretend to believe in the
imminence of annexation, for Canada
simply would not tolerate such a sug-
gestion, and Champ Clarks knowledge
Of that fact is what makes his per-
Torrance appear so reprehensible, II
his party has reached the place where
It must resort to such expedients, then
1t can indulge no substantial hope for
victory, for 1t has yet to run the
gauntlet of Champ Clarks first term
as speaker, where he will have so
much opportunity for similar blunders.
In practical results it makes no diff
ference whether Champ Clark's out
burst on annexation was merely bad
break or an intention to spike the
gum such exhibitions of political aero
battles fall far short of statesmanship.

The Automobile.

The automobile has served it's APP
premiership and now has steady en-
ployment It has passed the stage Of
experiment and is with us to stay
That is because it has proved to be a
private and public utility, as well as a
vehicle of pleasure It is folly to
think that its manufacture and sale
constitute a mushroom industry that
sprung up in a night of saturnalian
prosperity and will die out in a day of
soberer reckoning. The automobile
has come to fill a real want. II is a
natural product of an advanced age
and the industry created by 1t is just
as substantial and enduring as any
other commercial pursuit and a great
deal more so than many. 1t will con-
tinue to be a thing of pleasure by
thousands, yes millions, but it will
also continue to be unitarian. Every
year It finds new fields of employment.
Rapidly It is supplanting slower and
less profitable means of transportation
within cities and in some parts of the
country it is being used for such pur-
poses between towns, Thousands of
men and women have been given lu-
crative employment as a result of the
auto industry It is folly to think Of
it only as thing with which the rich
have to do. 1t means even more in
the end to the poor man, who has to
work for his living. OF all our latter
day inventions and creations none has
had a more rapid development than
the automobile, and yet we may we'll
believe that it has only begun to make
progress. From now on it will be-
come one OF the indispensables of
modern life.
