PROSPERITY IS
NOW HERE
PRES. M'CREA OF PENNSYLVANIA
LINES, FoREsEEs GREATEST
YEAR IN HISTORY OF y, 8.

Pittsburgh, Sept. 17.-Prosperity
that will eclipse anything the nation
has ever enjoyed is what James Nc.
Crea, president Of the Pennsylvania
railroad, sees in the future. McCrea
came into Pittsburgh last night. Asked
what he thought Of the business stu
alton, he said:
GEOGRAPHICALLY, it Is here! Every
body can see that. The pulse of the
whole country is beating to the rythm
of happier times. And we are just
entering the new era Of prosperity.
"The problem of car shortage de.
ponds on several factors. First, there
is the question of the ability of the
farmers to store their grain. When
they are not compelled by fnancia
stress to realize upon it quickly there
is not the element Of rush that sud
denly brings an acute situation in ca,
distribution
Farmers have not had such bumpe1
crops in years. If there are storage
facilities in their own bins or in theil
local elevators for the bounteous crops
and 1 think there are is year-an-
other factor in car shortage is re-
moved
Another important factor is the
l'cooperation Of shippers and consignce
The one can help by loading promptly
and the other by unloading promptly
"Another factor bearing upon the
matter of car shortage is the extent
Of the demand for American cereals
abroad. 1t is known that the foreigr
bottoms, which monopolize virtually
the carrying trade, have been engaged
and hence there might be lack Of
vessels to meet this foreign exporta
ton.
"The question Of car shortage must
be determined by several influences
not discoverable in advance with &C
curacy."

THERE IS PLENTY
QF SEED CORN
BETTER FARMING DIRECTOR
SAYS WE RAISE ENOUGH AND
WILL GROW MORE.

ct don It believe that it will ever
be necessary again for North Dakota
to 60 outside Of the state to purchase
seed corn" said Secretary Cooper Of
the North Dakota Better Farmingg as
societ ton.
"The reports that have been receiv-
ed at this office,' he continued, "dur-
ing the past week practically assures
corn Of high quality for seed that is
already ripened, and is now ready for
selecting for seed for the coming year.
Up in Grand Forks county, much Of
the seed is now being selected.
ct might say that all corn that was
planted early is now ready to have
the seed selected from it.
Selected 1000 Bushels.
"W. A. Peck, who represents us up
that way, is already selecting 1000
bushels and this will be kiln dried and
made ready for use next planting time.
"The reports that come from Adams
and Barnes counties how that the
corn is practically ripe and that the
farmers and others are already select
ing their seed, The yield is very sat
isfactory," said Mr.. Cooper. son a
small demonstration plat We have Sc
cured seventy-fve bushels to the acre.
"The question of the selection of
seed corn is a very important one to
the people Of the state and should be
attended to just as soon as possible. I
am of the opinion that the seed for
next year should not cost much out
side the state, for an. convinced that
there is plenty of good seeding corn
right in the state if it was attended to
and it wont take very long until this
will be the most valuable. The state
should not find it necessary to buy a
single grain of corn for seeding pur-
poses if the work was properly looked
after, and am more than glad to see
and De able to say that very many peo'
pie AL over the state are attending to
this
''I am informed that farmers and
firms in the state in various parts are
putting up from 500 to 1000 bushels
Of seeding corn and think they will
find that it will pay and pay big. The
past season has demonstrated one
thing, that corn that is planted early
enough even with such an undesirable
season as the past has oeen will ma
tue and produce good seed. The
warm sun Of the past few days, not
counting today of course has ripened
the corn to great extent AMI has
made it possible for the seed to be
selected in some cases while in Others
this work is going on.

Jerry Bresnan, separator man, with
the threshing crew on the E. B. Page
farm at Leeds, suffered a painful in
jury yesterday afternoon and is now

The slough on the southeast corner
Of the court house grounds which has
been mentioned from time to time in
the columns Of The World and which
was caused by the overflow of the
water from the tank Of the Devils
Lake Improvement company, was TO-
day drained, the chairman Of the
board Of county commissioners, Frank
Emigh, assisted by the courthouse
janitor and some Of Sheriff Mclean IS
boarders, turning the trick.
Thus 1t will be seen that The De-

our fond dreams Of a fish and duck

the same time. Seriously, the drsip.
age of the pond will make quite az
improvement in the appearance Of the
court house grounds, and we hope the
Improvement will be permannt one.

Answer:
A PATRIOTIC AMERICAN WRITES
TO A ROMANIST.

Mr.. Edward J. Cooney,
President Catholic Press Associa-
ton, Providence, r. l.
Dear Sir: I am just in receipt of
a copy of your letter of April 18th,
addressed to Gen. Nelson A Miles,
and his reply Of May End, respecting
the Guardians of Liberty.
At the time this letter was ad-
dressed to Gen. Miles, you were
doubtless familiar with the princi-
pies proclaimed by this order, which
are, as l understand it, in accordance
with the Constitution of the United
States of America. If you were not
familiar with these principles, note
that you have been furnished VIII.
a copy of that document
The fact that every man who sees
fit to question the doctrines of your
so-called religion is branded
"bigot" is beyond my comprehension.
II there is any one thing on the face
of this earth that is not subject to
criticism, would like very much to
know what it is.
[ cannot understand how any pa
triotic American could take offence
at the principles espoused by this
order. They have been resented by
the hierarchy, which has caused no
great amount Of surprise; it is only
characteristic of that organization
Referring to the fifth paragraph of
your letter concerning Gen. Miles
address in Boston and the meagre re-
ports Of the public press, why do you
ask such a foolish question? You
know, and I know, very we'll why this
meeting was so meagrely reported by
the public press.
In my opinion, religious strife is
a dead issue now, and it will require
more than that to derail liberty-IoV-
ing Americans.
In conclusion, permit me to state
that there are thousands of patriotic
Americans whose sentiments are ex-
pressed in Gen. Miles, letter, and you
have my assurance that you could not
begin to "seat twenty Of them on
brick

My Dear Mr.. Watson: Cali things

Georgia Federation of Labor Acts.
(By Telegraph
Waycross, Ca, April 26, 1917
The fourteenth annual convention of
the Georgia Federation of Labor
went on record in favor of govern
ment ownership of telegraph and
telephones, placing them under juris-
diction of postal department. of the
United States. All delegates were
instructed to use every energy with
State Congressman and Senators to
support the same in Congress and
using their influence toward insert
ing this plank in the presidential
platform. Resolutions condemning
the practice of sending young mes
sengers into places of vice was also
passed and legislative committees in
structed to take action.
MRS. z. B. SMITH.
Whereas, The private ownership of
and private exploitation of the tele-
graph and telephone in the United
States has resulted in inadequate ia
cilities, high rates, slow, inaccurate
and discriminatory service and most
merciless sweating Of employees; and,
Whereas, These high rates, this
slow, inaccurate and discriminatory
service has confined the telegraph
and telephone to necessary financial
making of these two important
means of communication a great pub
lie convenience, as in other nations;
therefore be it
Resolved, That the Georgia Fed
Grafton Of Labor, in regular conven-
ton assembled, does hereby go on
record as favoring the government
ownership of the commercial tele-
graph and telephone, as we'll as the
othe revenues of the transmission
and transportation of intelligence;
that the telegraph and telephone be
made public convenience by incor-
porating them into the Postoffce De-
partment; and be it further
Resolved, That the delegates to
this convention go to their various
locals and have them join this action
and so notify and advise their Con-
gressmen and Senators from their
various districts Of their adherence
The Jeffersonian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1907-1917, 1912-06-06

Whereas, 1t is noticeable in our
cities that young boys employed as
messenger boys are being sent into
places of vice and prostituted dis
tricts, in the performance OF their
duties as messengers; and
Whereas, It is the sense of this
Georgia Federation of Labor, now
assembled, that the sending of these
young boys into such districts is SOW
ing seeds of vice, to the detriment of
the young manhood, and to the irrev-
erence of the purity of womanhood;
be it
Resolved, That this convention go
on record as opposing such prostitu-
ton of our young boys, and the in
fuence thrown about them from such
duties, and hereby instruct the legis-
lative committee when drafting
child labor laws to not neglect this
all important matter, and insert some
such clause prohibiting the same, in
the child labor laws which shall be
presented to the next State Legis1a-
ture.
