IS AFTER
HAMM0ND'S
SCALP

(By United Press Leased Wire.
LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 22.-Wil-
liam Jennings Bryan's Common
err" continues to pick flaws in Gov
ernor Harmon's official record.
Bryan cites the Thatcher disbar-
ment case as proof that the Ohio
executive is not friendly to Or
ganized labor, saying:
Thatcher lost his right to prac-
| tice in controversy wherein he
represented labor against capital.
The action of the court was so
arbitrary and unjust--at least it
so appeared to a majority of both
houses of the Ohio legislature
that they took this extraordinary
means of reinstating him. The
bill was passed April 10, 1911,
and after being signed by the pre-
siding officers of the two houses,
was sent to the governor. What
did he do with it? He allowed
it to become a law without his sig
nature.

There's good money in poultry.
Good money in raising it, and
good money in buying and selling
| it.
The year of 1911 topped all pre-
vious years as to the number of
fowls marketed and eggs shipped
| in this section of the state.
There were those who viewed
with alarm the tendency of so
many people to get into" the
poultry business.
Did poultry sell for less money
than in 1910?
Not that has been recorded.
Were eggs cheaper?
You know better.
The fact is, the greater the sup
ply of poultry and eggs the great
er the demand!
What would it be worth today
to be lin" the poultry business?

DOES NOT AGREE With
Homer A. miller
A. G. Kellogg Denies That Farmer is
Responsible for High Cost
of Living.

Eds. Freeman The the
ory advanced by Homer A. Miller OF
'Des Moines as published recently in
the Freeman-Tribune is enough to
make a man with brains laugh and
a farmer mad. The way he puts IT
is SO ridiculous that feel like put
ting in word with your permission
to relieve the farmer of the .respon-
sibility for high prices.
I have said that If the cities
would send to the farms their sur
plus population-that is, what they
cannot use at living wage-and by
intensive farming raise most of their
living, as the farmer does, there
would not be such demand for
farm products and as demand makes
prices, less demand would mean low
er prices. .
Mr.. Miller states that population
increased in ten years 21 per cent,
while crops increased only 1t per
cent. Why then should the farmer
not get more for the necessities OF
life? Mr.. Miller also says that the
farmer has been able to fix prices
to suit himself" Now ! would like
to know how many farmers sell their
products at their own price? Don
they take what they are offered for
their grain, hogs, horses, ETC.? But
see here, how many farmers buy an
automobile or Christmas toy with
out asking the price? And then say
that the farmer is responsible for the
high cost of living. a
AS to the tariff, this nation has
two ends anu a middle. The middle
produces and they (the people)
want protection. The ends consume
and they want protection. The one
by getting cheaper living antagon-
ICES the other, so here We leave the
great problem of adjusting this diff
ference to the democratic party.

or tones than on last evening,
while Mr.. Dodge, who sang the part
of Moses, did as well as many pro-
fessionals. Mr.. Mullins in the char
acter of Aaron sang, as always, with
great power and expression. Mrs
Macgoey and Miss Stark delighted
their hearers with their solos and
the duet, The Soft Signing Winds,
which they sang was one of the most
beautiful parts of the oratorio. Miss
Rosalind Cook, whose musical ac-
complishments are many, added one
more to the list last evening and
was heartily applauded.
The chorus responded promptly to
the directions of the leader and sus-
tanned their part Of the program
we'll, while the orchestral accompan-
iment with Mrs. w. H. Cook at the
piano, added very much to the en-
tire production and was especially
appreciated in the interludes.
1t has been several years since an
oratorio has been given in Webster
City. The audience was a very ap-
preciative one and have expressed
themselves as very we'll pleased, in
deed, with the performance. A great
deal of credit is due to Mrs. Dysart
as director, who has worked with
untiring efforts for the success OF
the production, as well as to the So
loists who contributed their services
so willingly and to the members Of
the chorus who have spent much
time in the weekly practices. 1t is
possible that the Passover may be
repeated during Methodist church
dedication week.

NARROW ESCAPE FROM
FATAL ACCIDENT
Wagon Overturns and Mans Neck
Badly Wrenched- Thought at
First he was Killed.

An accident occurred about three
miles west of this city Sunday ev-
ening almost resulting fatally to a
man by the name Of Myers who
owns a wood saving outfit and has
been working with his crew in this
city the past few days.
Mr.. Myers and his assistants were
moving their outfit, consisting of a
traction engine and wagon, to the
home of a farmer residing near
Highview, where they had some
work to do, when they met horse
and buggy coming east. AS the ami
NAL was slightly afraid of the ma
chine. the engineer gave the rig
large share Of the road. He turned
SO far to the side of the road that
the wagon which was attached to
the rear of the engine slid off the
road into a ditch, causing it to turn
over. Mr.. Myers was riding in the
wagon at the time and was thrown
out of 1t, landing on the ground and
striking on the back of his head. AT
first his companions feared the man
had been instantly killed by the fall,
but in moment he regained con-
sciousness although he could not sit
up. One of the men rushed to a
nearby house and telephoned to a To-
cal physician, who hurried to the
scene in his automobile The injur-
led man was brought to this city,
where an examination revealed that
he had sustained no broken bones,
but his neck was badly wrenched.
He will without doubt come out all
right in few days.
