Each member of the society
present took some part either with
a reading or repeated chapter
from the Bible from memory
The annual reports of the officers
we're read which showed a mem

Back Action Prophets.
BY George Fitch Copyrighted by
George Mathew Adams.

At this minute the quadrennial
crop of back action prophets is ripe
and on the market It is the larg-
est on record because there ars
now more people in the Unitee
States than ever before
If national elections dida't &C.
complsh anything else they woulo
be remarkable for the enormous
crop of reverse gear prognostioa
tors which they produce. A back
action prophet is a man who is able
to look backward after a thing has
happened and tell just exactly how
it is going to occur
The back-action prophet is much
more valuable than the ordinary
plug prophet because he is always
right. He never makes a mistake
unless he happens to read the
newspapers carelessly A. this
minute millions Of back-action
prophets are announcing the cleo
toral vote for Roosevelt, and Taft
and Wilson with an accuracy verg-
ing upon the marvellous and are
telling just what every doubtful
state will do in the election which
has just passed.
The x-post-faeto prophet
knows what is going to happen long
in advance sometimes years il
advance. But he doesn't tell any
body. That is where he is wiser
than the common ordarden pro
phet. The latter tells all he knows
months before the election and
then everybody knows it and he is
no wiser than anyone else. The
back action prophet, on the other
hand. conceals his knowledge until
after the election and then an
nounces it in triumph Thus nc
one can take the credit of his dis
coveries from him and he beaoma s
a great man and is madly enVied
by ignorant people who didn't have
any idea in June what kind Of a
vote Wilson would poll in New
York.
The post-mortem prophet is new
in the midst of his season. He is
telling everyone who will listen just
what he knew in July about the
election. His knowledge was
marvellous ard the world should be
grateful to him, for if he had made
bets on this knowledge, he Woulc
now be riche~ than Morgan anc
half of mankind would be ruined.
But the post-prandial prophet is
kind and gentlehanly and woulc
scorn to take advantage of bis
great gift. During the campaign

Our Livestock.

There are constant though grad
ual changes going on throughout
the country. affecting the condi-
tons and opportunities of the
farmers, and it is important to the
farmers that they give thought to
them. For instance, the last cen
sus report disclosed the fact that
there is deficiency in the number
of sheep, hogs and cattle, in pro-
portion to the population of the
United States. Thus follows an
increase in the valCe of sheep, hogs
and cattle, and thus better oppor-
tunites for profitable returns from
stockraisng follow. The price of
hogs and good beef cattle at the
present time makes stoekrais!ng an
inviting field.
Now is the time to begin prepa-
rations for next years profits The
COWS should be we'll cared for and
kept in good condition during the
winter. If they are giving milk
they will amply repay for the extra
care and extra feed necessary.
No better investment exists on the
farm today than good milk COWS.
1t pays to breed up the milk cows.
A few years ago nobody would
have believed that 80 pounds of
butter could be made from the
milk of one cow in one week. and
to say that one COW could produce
1000 pounds of butter in a year,
would have been ridiculed BY
successful breeding and proper at
tention both of these records have
been surpassed and we have the
living example of COW with a Al
pound record in seven days.
Now is good time to look after
the hogs. Select the good breed
ers and separate them from the
others. The hogs that will weigh
more than 100 pounds when fat
tened should be prepared for
slaughter or the market 1t is not
wise to feed them through the
winter and take chances on dis
ease next summer for the extra
growth. 1t will not pay Breed
the soWs to farroW the last of Feb
ruary or first of March. Then the
spring pigs can be pushed along
and become good-sized killing hogs
by the following Christmas, and
will not have to be wntered. Dur
ing the winter months prepare safe
and comfortable places for the
sows at narrowing time. Give
them care and attention and you
will be amply repaid. The average
litter of pigs narrowed in February
and well-cared for will bring more
money on the market the following
Christmas than the average two
acres of land planted to cotton Cat
present prices), and the cost will
be less. The hog is getting to be
an important factor in the profits
of the farm. He doesn't command
the respect or receive the consid-
Grafton to which, at his present
value, he is entitled to receive. If
given the proper care and attention
the hog is truly the mortgage

The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1912-05-24

At the office of the local strik-
ing freight handlers it was said
this afternoon that no notification
had been received of the action of
the St. Paul union men.
The call for a general strike,
sent out the early part of the
week, ordered members of the or
ganization in the Twin Cities to
walk out in sympathy with the
Chicago men.
The refusal of the St. Paul men
to obey the strike order is taken
as direct reputation of the Chi
cago strike and is a serious blow
to the local strikers. Until they
are officially notified of the action
taken in St. Paul the international
officers, who are in Chicago, will
take no steps to force walk-out.

St. Paul, May 24.-St. Paul
freight handlers and those en-
ployed by the 500 line, in a letter
to G. R. Huntington, general
manager of the 500, said they
would observe their contract with
the railroad, which calls for a
thirty-day notice of a strike. All
reports that they would quit work
without this notice were repud-
lated.
This letter, signed by officers
and members of the freight han
dlers and clerks unions, makes it
doubtful whether strike will be
called in the. Twin Cities, and
more uncertain whether major
ity of the men would obey such an
order.

addressed mass meeting of strik-
ing freight handlers this after
noon and advised them to stand
together and obey instructions of
their officers.
He said that the railroads would
be forced to yield to the men in
order to save themselves fnan-
cially. Railroad stock that has
not already dropped since the
strike of your union will be af-
fected," he continued, and the
railroad owners. will be glad to
make terms with the freight han
dlers. Shippers will also make
trouble because of trouble in get
ting their consignments handled,
and all of these things will make
for your success"

growers are compelled to pay more for European labor which they are striving so hard to attract than they would for the yellow workers on whom they formerly depended but they are willing to do so in order to realize their purpose of maintain irg a white mans country and of making it in spirit as well as in fact a harmonious part of the United States. Commenting upon this un- usual attitude which has led the business men of the islands to sac rifice some immediate gain for the common good. the United States com missioner of labor in his annual re port last year said
 1t is doubtful if any large industry upon the mainland has in the past been willing to disregard the eco homie demand for cheap labor, in consideration of what are at least partly civic motives in securing more costly labor. to the same extent as have the Hawaiian planters.

 For Hawaii this problem of secur- ing a farming and labOring popula- ton has been more difficult even than it has for the western coast of the continental United States. It is only since American annexation and the consequent expansion of American business interests that any strong sentiment against the Asiatic inva- sior has existed.
 During the past half-dozen years a systematic effort has been put forth by the insular government of Ha- waii. backed by important industrial interests, chiefly the sugar planters who represent the largest single ln- dustry in the islands. to attract European settlers.

 BOND AMENDMENT
ATTORNEY GENERAL NORWOOD SAYS ONLY THREE MEAS. TRES CAN BE SUBMIT.
 TED AT ONE TIME,
Injunction May Re Asked Against Recall Involving Point As To
 Bond Amendment.

Little Rock. May 16-The daily chapter of complexities under the I ard R amendment deals with the number of proposed amendments tha; may be submitted to the Const!tu- tion Attorney General Noswood holds that cnly three can be sub. mitted at one election, which knocks out the recall and the municipal bond amendment-if the courts uphold h,s opinion. It was given unofficially Thursday evening, but it is under ssood that an injunct on, will be asked against the recall involving that point which will also involve the bond amendment.
 Five amendments are proposed i; No. II, the grandfather clause; No. 12, cotton factory exemption; No. +. sixty days session; No. IA, the re- call; No. 15, bond issue. The Legis- lature proposed the first two and Attorney General Norwood the sec ond. His petitions for No. 13 were filed several weeks before those for the recall and the bond amendment.
 Art 19, Sec. g, of the Constitution says: "buS no more than three amendments shall be proposed or submitted at the same time. Gen. erel No.wood holds that the I. and R. amendment did not change this provision, and says:
 "The courts will in construing amendment No 10, constrle it in con- nection with every other section 0, the Constitution and harnonize T. with every other section, whereve' nossible to do so.

Malvern, May 16.-J. s. Bayer, Frank Morrison and J. G.

 A Memphis corporation has it's ap- plication before the council asking for such franchise, but on account of it's demands the city has not suffi- cient revenue to carry out it's part of the proposed franchise and no doubt it will not be granted.
