MODERN ORACLE HAS
GLIMPSE INTO FUTURE
Prophet Jim McNulty Beholds Thru
His Prophetic Crystal Events
To Come

During these stirring and compl1cat-
ed times when the world and mankind
seem somewhat at loss and are troubled |
by the danger signs Of coming years 1t
is a relief to know that some human
creatures are especially endowed with
the slit and power to predict what shall
happen to this little globe Of ours. Zach
day has its worries, each year its try
ing months and we welcome at any
time, anyone, who will kindly inform
us as to tine outcome Of the many Ser
iouS and vital questions of the day.
With world which is reekinss with
1Hnatlci*m along social and industrial
Ines with the cost OF milk SO high tina t
the Wonder-story OF the COW jumping
over the moon might We'll transpire,
with silvcry-tOunSed orators denounc-
Ing all who believe in progressive Am
ericanism as Observation-Disclosures and
with dozens of national characters clam
orinS for rest in the presidential
chair, we might we'll invite and seek
the visionary service of such a notable
being as Prophet McNulty who unan-
nounced dropped down from his aerial
scat in the heavens into office last
Friday. This voice from the desert"
is, according to his own story, resi-
dent Of Minneapolis but is popularity
recognized as belonging to the entire
world having served in a prophetic ca
paclty for some years. 1t was only
thru his insenius and keen foresight
that our anti-saloOn leaders were cour-
aGeouS enough to continue their battle
aSainst liquor, assured by their friend
Jim, that success would eventually
crown their efforts. Woman suffrage
would be Az unheard of thing or hope
less dream had not Jim contided in and
ENCOURAGED the ladies of the nation that
somedaE they would cast their ballots
both locally and for national presi-
dent. Ills has been charmed life and
the events of the past with his fore
casts and dips into the book of tenn
rOral revelations for more, some Of
Which We shall here make mention.
Despite same grave fears Of those in
contact With crop conditions in the
country, Jim the Prophet comes boldly
out and predicts that@ths year will wit
ness the harvesting Of one of the great
est crops in the history Of the nation.
+ urthcr- more, during the next two
years this country Of ours will be bless
ed with full bins and horn of plenty.
This News is indeed cheering when peo-
pie are prone to speak of panics and
food crisis. If We possessed masses of
these far-SiShtcd and enlightened in
dlNiuual:5 We would have happy world
and relieved Of all worries could lie
down to pleasant dreams. According
to Jim we are already sta,!din, on the
threshold Of 4 hlazinGly hot summer
and We Sho;|lN at one, 50 arrange things
that Old Sol Will not draw US all up in
a huge curl Of smoke. Jim was real
serious when he made these predictions
so We must Of course take them in the
same spirit and mood in which they were
given. Disleyarding that fact that ex-
tremcly torril weather might harm our
potatoes We are much pleused to hear
that those tuDcrS, which are jewels
worthy OF a prominent place on royal
fingers, Will soon return to their COM
,1,I,,
that the present complaint Of high
priced potatoes will be no more Iota-
toes at three dollars Will be the com
mon tninS and we are thankful for that
to Prophet McNulty.
ENCOURAGING as the above predictions
are Yet Jim is not SO optimistic or SO
element is all his forecasts. His troub-
led mind has dreadful fOrehodinSs and
q dari; outlook at times. For instance

endure tor Years TO come and he urges
Us to rcsi3n ourselves to our fate and
