prophet of God, did reveal the Lord 5
word unto the people a number of
times as related by the speaker.
One Of the most pronounced and
especially wonderful prophecies was
given to the people of st. George

dent Snow in the name Of the Lord

They did as directed and that sum

bounteous crop was harvested Elder
Snow proved with government

rainfall during any one month for Il
years was In August, 1889, just as the

Clear Cut.Oyerland Land.

The fair. weather days of the
autumn afford the farmer an
opportunity to undertake the
clearing of land for which he has
no time in the busy summer
months, and which can not be
done while the land is wet in the
spring. On thousands of farms
there are cut-over tracts which
should be converted into revenue
producers as soon as possible.
If the owner decides that the
land in question is better suited
to crop production than to forest
growth. a careful study of the
most economical method of re-
moving stumps and small growths
should be made. Most cut-over
land passes through three stages
before reaching its greatest
agricultural value. The waste
and small growth is disposed Of
FIRST. then it is allowed to remain
in stumps for . few seasons.

Up to this time the British had been frankly
disappointed in results. 1t had been q rare thing
for a submarine chaser to actually see a subma-

and construction constantly approached the danger

resolution was sent to the various

"Mr. Tearney has received letter
from President Heydler, stating that
at a meeting of the National League
club owners it was unanimously

unless the right of the major leagues
to draft players was included.
ut, therefore, appears that the ma
tional league, at least, has gone on

made with the minors in January is
q scrap of paper, and there is clear
intimation that the majors expect to
again draft minor league players.
"The lifting Of the draft means an
advantage of at least $4,000 and pos

Fultz in specially prepared state
ment outlined the case of the minor
baseball leagues, in part, as fol-
lows:
Although the minor leagues of pro-
fessional baseball have, since their or
sanization, been the great developers
OF playing talent, they have never re-
ceived the financial reward which
their important position in the base
oall world would justify.
This condition was unouestionahly
brought about to large extent by
the draft rule which permitted the
major league to arbitrarily take from
each minor league club at the end Of
each season one or more of its play
ers at stated prices for each classi-
fcation.
