COUSIN WOODROW SAYS
HARSH THINGS IN SERMON

st. Louis, Sept. 13.-The Rev.
Samuel w. Woodrow, pastor of the
Pilgrim Congregational church here
and a cousin of President Woodrow
Wilson. made the subject of his
Sunday sermon the recent enact
ment of the eight-hour law by con-
gress, in which he assailed that body
and executive for what he consider
ed complete submission to the de-
mands of "a comparatively small
portion of the population"
"If this kind of legislation can
be forced upon the country" he
said, there is no such thing as
government for the people and by
the people.
mo man or group of men should
be able to dictate to the president
or congress. When that condition
arises we have-mob rule and not
government.
There can be no more pitiable
spectacle than our president and
congress frightened into yielding to
the demands of a small element of
the population"

GRAIN SHORTAGE OF NATION
is GREATEST IN YEARS

Chicago, Sept 19,-A loss OF
170,000,000 bushels in the leading
crops last month, as shown by the
governments monthly estimate, is
one of the largest for the month of
August that the government crop
report has shown in many years
In two months the reduction has
been 100000 bushels and
from the final of last year 1,138,-
100000 bushels, or nearly 20 per
cent. Losses in the spring wheat are
about as xpected-43, 900, 900
bushels for the month, all in the
three northwestern states.
To have three states show re-
duction of 2OO,OOO,OOO bushels from
the preceding year is sensational.
The corn and oats crop estimates
were larger than expected, that be-
ing especially SO in corn. Iowa and
Nebraska have made gains during
August, but Kansas lost 32,000,000
bushels in the month. All in all, it
is one of the most striking reports
ever issued. A notable feature is the
shortage in white potatoes and the
doubling of the farm price as COM
pared with last year

Washington, sept. S.-Congress

Washington, Sept. 8.-After nine
months devoted to legislation, both
houses held protracted sessions last
night to wind up their affairs by
lapproying the conference agreement
on the emergency revenue bill to
raise approximately 100000
desired by the administration to
meet the extraordinary appropria-
tions for national defense and the
Mexican emergency
Leaders of the senate and house
agreed upon concurrent resolution
to adjourn at 10 o'clock this morn
ing and scores of members left on
midnight trains eager to reach their
homes for participation in the ma
tional political campaign.
The last appropriation measure,
the general deficiency bill, was
adopted by both houses while wait
ing for the conference report on the
revenue bill.
The corrupt practices bill, to
limit campaign expenditures, and
the immigration bill, which Presi-
dent Wilson had announced he
would veto If passed, were put aside
and will be taken up and pressed
to a vote early in the December
session.
The revenue bill as it will go to
President Wilson for approval con-
tains drastic provisions empowering
the president to retaliate against
foreign interference with American
commerce, creates a nonpartlsan
tariff commission. increases the
duties on dye stuffs to encourage
their manufacture in the United
States, provides means to prevent
dumping of cheap foreign made
goods into American markets after
the war and provides for income,
inheritance, munitions, corporation
stock, liquor and miscellaneous in
ternal revenue taxes. All stamp taxes
in the present law are repealed and
all that we're included in this bill
we're eliminated in congress.
Washington. Sept. 8.-The treaty
providing for the purchase of the

CHANGE ROOM.
Improved FaeiIlties for Employees of

Many mining companies are pro
viding buildings where the miners may
remove soiled working clothes, battle
and put on clean, dry clothing before
returning to their homes. Most work :
men nowadays like TO go to and from,
their work dry and clean. In many
! instances miners cottages have no
running water inside and it is a bur
densome task to battle at home. In
addition to its cleansing effect. the
shower bath refreshes the tired work
man so that he goes home in a more
agreeable frame of mind. 1t Is inter
esting to note that some of the best
change houses are to be found in
Michigan, Minnesota, and Alabama, al
though those states have no law re-
curing such houses Some Of the

Provision for Quick Exit for EN-.

Life in a powder mill can never be-
come particularly monotonous, says
the Boston News Bureau and one of
the factors which contribute to the in =
terest in life is the fire escape. The
different houses, or units, of which a
powder plant is made up are built two
stories high. 1t is often extremely de-
sirable to have handy, rapid exit. Ac-
cordingly, at intervals of perhaps so
feet, chutes are constructed, half
round in section and at an angle OF
perhaps 80 degrees. Instantly an
alarm Is given, the workman dives
head foremost into the nearest chute
and is deposited, some half second
later, safely on the ground, except
that a little skin may have been worn
off. A recent visitor says this is part
but not all Of the story, because it
neglects to mention the presence of a
large pile of sawdust at the bottom of
the chute Immediately in front OF
which is a pool of water to act as a
cooler during the flare up"
