WEATHER ARGUES FOR

parade They shuddered as they re-
called the inaugural day OF President

AS they glided and skidded on the ice
and snow they saw visions of the balmy
days that visit this section in April and
May. Then they all took out their note
books and jotted down the conditions of
the weather on this, the 4th day Of

BEG WILSON To BE
firm With GERMANY
Letters Come From Persons in Modest
Circumstances Pleading for Stead
fastness to His Position.

The Presidents letters come from
men In every walk of life. His dec
laration in his Gridiron speech last
Saturday that he would rather know
what the people around the iresides
of America are thinking than to know
what Congress is thinking, has in
spired many persons to take up their
pens who never had addressed a
President of the United States before.
Perhaps a score of persons have writ
ten the President about canvasses they
had made of their neighborhoods to
determine how the Presidents stand
for American honor was regarded and
not one of them revealed an impor-
tant division of sentiment.
Some of the messages are of ire
mendous human interest. One came
who begged the President not to yield
any principle for the sake of peace,
saying that although the inhrmities
or age would prevent him from shoul-
dertng musket again, he had a son
who was prepared to join in the coun-
try's defense. Another letter. writ
ten by farmer, was little more than
an illegible scrawl, but the writer
professed a willingness to enlist rather
than have the President yield the is
sue with Germany.
Perhaps a score OF letters have been
received from mothers. These are Of the
type which repudiate the charge that
the mothers of the country are for peace
at any price in preference to war, which
might sacrifice the lives of their sons.
Still other letters are In the cramped
handwriting Of aged persons and these
recall other crises through which the ma
ton has passed and remind the President
that, as a people, We have never aban-
doned our ideals of principle in the face
of danger.
Some OF the kilograms which have
reached the President are phrased so
finely that they might serve as epigrams.
Such appeals as stand steadfast and
the national will vindicate you," repre-
sent the spirit which rings through nearly
all OF the messages.

Association to Be Held.
HENRY CLARKE TO SPEAK

The fourteenth annual convention
Of the Nebraska Farmers Corpora
tive Grain and Live Stock State as
ISOLATION will meet at the Hotel Rome
November q, p and %. There will
likely be not less than 700 in attend
ance.
The convention will be addressed
by Henry T. Clarke, chairman OF the
Nebraska State Railway commission,
on What the commission can do for
the grain shipper and what it can not
do" and by Prof. H. c. Filley, rep
resenting the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Univer-
sity OF Nebraska, whose address will
deal with the services that the uni
versity and the department can rem
der to the grain grower. J. B. Swear
ingen and J. w, Holmquist of the
Omaha Grain exchange will also ad-
dress the convention.
The matter of greatest interest aside
from the addresses will be the car
famine, car distribution and prob
able embargo on the expectation Of
grain. Constructive work, having for
its object the placing of more cars
into the equipment OF the railroads,
will be taken up. The method of dis
tribution OF cars in times OF shortages
will also receive attention and the
state legislature will probably be
asked to perfect the present law on
this subject.
Oppose Embargo.
Any embargo on the expectation Of
grain will be opposed, it is said, be-
cause during the present car short
age grain dealers with their elevators
full will be unable to avoid financial
disaster that is sure to go with the
demoralized market such an embargo
will produce, 49,.
The present grain storage law will
come up for attention and recommen-
dations will be made to the legisla-
ture to strengthen it. The state scale
inspection law, if it can be called a
scale inspection law. will receive at
tention. j. S. Canaday of Minden is
president and ]. w, Shorthill of York
is secretary of the association.
