THE FARM TO TABLE PLAN

The Postoffice Department and ex- press companies appear to be in com petition in demonstrating what won derful things they can do, and each has been exploiting their plans of ex- changing the produce between farm and the city consumer. Postmaster General Burleson says that the new service has come to stay.
 In order to back up the claim tha. the breakage in shipments is light, alleged results have been put out by the postoffice showing that only one per cent of all shipments have been damaged, which would indicate that eggs can be transported by mail with out disturbing the yolk.
 Cabbage, turnips and onions are so carefully handled by the men in Uncle Sams service that none of their ori- ginal qualities, even to the smell is missing when the city consumer gers his little bundle.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24.- The United States has been brought to realize during the past two weeks that there are a great many articles which have been coming from abroad which can we'll be made in this coun- try, and the conviction has been sink ing in that our people will have to de. pend largely upon their own re- sources
 These resources are much greate" than many have supposed. It is cer- tain, for instance, that all the cotton, silk and woolen goods that are need ed for home consumption can be turn ed out by the existing mills without adding to their capacity. In all the various branches of metal workers, from steel rails to fish hooks, from copper and brass products to those of aluminium, from the cheapest of pinch beck to the most expensive work in gold and silver, the furnaces, forges, and factories of the country are ad- mirably equipped to supply an even greater demand than is likely to be forthcoming

DRY ELECTION HELD
 IN STATE OF VIRGINIA

RICHMOND, Va, Sept. 23.-A bit ter and spectacular prohibition fight is being decided by the voters of Vir- ginia at a special election today The election was ordered by Governor Stuart under the provisions of the enabling act" which passed the gen eral assembly last session. The votes will determine whether Virginia shall continue to have local option or be placed in the total prohibition column.
 The campaign which closed last night was one of the most exciting in the history of the state Both the drys and the antis covered the state from end to end, holding meetings in every city, town and village, and flooding the voters With campaign literature.
 Today the drys declare that the state will give anywhere from 20 coo to 10000 votes against liquor. The antis with equal emphasis predict that the state will vote for the re- tention of liquor by a safe majority. It is expected that the total vote will De the largest ever boiled in Virgin ia. The people generally have taken lively interest in the contest. Party lines have been cast aside for the time being-the Republicans and Democrats working side by side, ac-
 ording to their inclinations.
 While the ballots read For Pro- hibition" and Against Prohibition" the result of the election, if prohibit tion fails, will be to continue the present Byrd law, which gives to each locality the privilege of calling an election on the question of prohibiting the sale of liquor in that town CT county.

GREAT LABOR LEADER NOT IN
 HARMONY WITH PROHIBITION

WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 24.- Special to the Yuma Daily Examiner Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, has gone on record against prohibition.
 President Gompers received a let ter from Congressman Hobson in Au- gust notifying him that he has been appointed by the National Prohibition Conference at Columbus to organize the National Constitutional Prohibit ton committee on cooperation and that he had appointed MT. Gompers on that committee. President Com pers' reply has just been made pub lie. It follows:
 Washington, D. C., Sept. 3, "A. Hon. Richmond P. Hobson,
 House of Representatives
 Washington, D. c.
 My Dear MT. Hobson:
 Your favor of August Fist reached my office during my absence on off cial business, and this is the first opportunity I have had to reply there to. I beg to assure you that I appre- ciate the honor of your selecting me as a member of the National Constitu- tional Prohibition Committee on Co., Operation, but I must ask you to ex- cuse me from accepting or serving on the committee. I am frank enough to say to you that I am out of harmony with the prohibition movement by constitutional provision or statute en- actment. I know of a better way other than by legalized prohibition to secure temperance and temperate habits, not only in the liquor traffic. but in any of the personal activities of men.
 There is no movement in all the country so potent to make the people temperate as is the much misunder- stood and misrepresented organized labor movement of the country. h. creasing wages, establishing a shorter workday, affording the opportunities for the cultivation ur better tastes, better aspirations, higher ideals, which the better standard of living and the freedom of burdensome, long hours of toll will bring, the opportunity for better homes and surroundings and better working conditions, all of these l repeat have been more potent and prove to be more potent in establish ing temperance and temperate habits than any attempt to regulate the per sonal .habits or to inaugurate prohibi- tiOn by law. AS you will observe, I am not in !! harmony with the purpose of your and hence cannot consist | ently accept an appointment upon the

ROOSEVELT URGES THAT CHILD
 LABOR LAWS ARE NOW NECESSARY

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Sept. 23.- Criticism of the judiciary and a plea for immediate laws to regulate child labor was voiced by Colonel Roose- welt in an address made in Kansas City Kansas, last night.
 "The Progressives want a national law to put stop to child labor and we are going to have it." declared "The Republicans and the Democrats say it is against the con- stitution to pass such a law, but in

WAR HAS SHOWN THAT UNITED

Added to these advantages is the fact that the country itself and the lands immediately adjacent that are not affected, directly, by the war SUD- ply practically all the raw materials of manufacture.
 Whatever embarrassment is apt to occur will be due to the matter of get ting rid of the surplus. This is even now in the way of settling itself by reason of the resumption of fairly reg ular shipping service on the two great oceans. With this opportunity of sending goods abroad, and with the need of supplying for this country things that have been hitherto inn ported, the mills will be encouraged to make many new fabrics or other products that will take the place of those for which we have been depend ent on European nations This, is, in fact, now being done in different lines. with the result of a demand for ex- ports from new directions and of the appearance of the sign Made in Am erica" in many show windows.
