Farm Bureau Votes
on StoCkyards Law
STATEWIDE REFERENDUM
LAUNCHED ON BILL TO PREVENT
ABOLITION OF PUBLIC WEIGHING

The Minnesota Farm Bureau fed
Grafton, which last year polled the
largest number of farmer votes in the
American Farm Bureaus referendum
on proposed federal legislation, is
taking another referendum.
It has asked the presidents, secre-
taries and state directors of all coun-
ty Farm Bureaus to express their
opinion about bill recently introduc-
ed in congress to amend the new fed
eral act regulating packers and stock
yards. The bill has been drawn up to
prevent the abolition of public weigh
ing of livestock at the South st. Paul
market under the supervision of the
state Railroad and Warehouse COM
mission. The federal act supersedes
all state regulation.
Under the state law, weighing of
livestock has been done by the state
commission, and commission COM
panies have been bonded to protect
the shippers. An amendment to the
federal law now has been introduced
in congress to guarantee the continu-
ance of this supervision by the state
government, and hearings on the
amendment have been scheduled.
The state Farm Bureau has asked
the elected officials of county Farm
Bureaus to ascertain the opinion of
their members as quickly as possible,
and report to their state organization.
The result of this referendum will be
laid before congress when hearings
on the proposed amendment begin.

police are receiving bulletins. Ser
mons, concerts, health talks and style
talks are transmitted Universities
and professional operators are coop
Grating.
Approximate figures are reported
from various states and centers In
dicating the present number of radio
sets. According to A. L. Benson of
st. Louis, division manager of the
American Radio Relay league, about
10000 radiophones are used in four
states as follows: Iowa, $4,000; Mis-
souri,, $4,000; Nebraska, $4,000;
Kansas, 10000 In st. Louis alone
there are some 2,2OO. The radiophones
chiefly carry concert music, but in
many localities farmers have installed
them to receive market reports.
Correspondence from Texas reports
1853 stations in Dallas, ranging in size
from II K. w. to 20 watts, and almost
equal numbers in other cities of the
state.
Cleveland. Ohio, reports probably Is
600 radio enthusiasts, LOCO sending
stations in greater Cleveland, virtually
all amateur and 10000 receiving sets
used almost nightly. These estimates
exclude commercial sets. Cincinnati
reports 500 sets.
Indiana has $500 amateur radio sets
and indianapolis 1000 radiophones.
Wisconsin has nearly 1,5OO stations,
and the number IS said by Malcomb p.
Hanson. University of Wisconsin opera
tor to be increasing at the rate of five
day. Nearly 1000 sets are reported
in Milwaukee and vicinity.
North Dakota has a number OF. re-
ceiying stations and few fairly
powerful telegraph and telephone send
ing stations. The North Dakota Agri-
cultural college is planning to install
q 1OO-watt service for farmers. The
vacuum tube is displacing older equip
ment in the state.
Marked growth Is reported at
Omaha, Neb., by two radio clubs,
which have been In existence only SIX
months. The University Of Nebraska
and Nebraska wesleyan, cooperating,
send to amateurs In Nebraska, South
Dakota, Iowa, Colorado and ! lsas.

self to commercial purposes. In De
cember, 1893, Marconi installed ap.
paratus to provide communication be-
tween the South Foreland lighthouse
and a lighthouse on the south coast.
In 1899 Marconi read paper on
"Wireless Telegraphy'' before the In
stitution of Electrical Engineers in
London.
Early in 1901 Geographic commu-
nication was established between two
points more than $50 miles distant
and at the end of that year Marconl
transmitted signals from Poldhu, in
Cornwall to St. Johns, Newfoundland.
Tn 1902 he received on board the
steamship Philadelphia in the pres
ence of the officers, good messages
on the tape when at a distance Of
over 1000 miles from the transmit
ting station and signals at over 1000
miles. In December, 1902, the station
established at Cape Breton, Nova
Scotia, under a contract with the ga
madam government for transatlantic
wireless telegraphy, was put into
communication with the Cornwall sta
ton at Poldhu and inaugural messages
were transmitted to the King OF
England, the King of Italy and to
the London Times. In October, 1903,
the steamship Lucania published
daily wireless bulletin from messages
received from the Marconi stations.
A powerful station at Clifden on the
west coast of Ireland was opened
early in 1907 for the establishment
of commercial relations with the
American continent at Glace Bay.
Mr.. Marconi's work has been rec
ognized by many governments and
seats of learning; he has been dec
Grated by the King Of Italy and the
late ex-Czar Of Russia as an honor
ary doctor of many universities IN
Guiding Oxford, Glasgow, Aberdeen,
Liverpool and Pennsylvania. besides
having received the freedom Of the
principal Italian cities. In 1914 ne

Radio enthusiasts have increased
tenfold within the last few months, it
appears from a survey conducted by
] the Associated Press and covering the
central west, Kentucky and Texas. At
virtually all points from which re-

for purposes of telephony, where at
most there were hundreds before.
While the sets are used chiefly for
pleasure and experience, they are be-

Opportunity

When a man is down and sees
little hope of success he is prone to
say, "Luck is against me-" 1t is easy
enough to point to successful men
and show the lucky moves they made
upward on the ladder of success.
Opportunity exists for every indi-
vidual to make a success of his life.
The person who will some day be
called lucky is the one who takes adj
vantage of opportunity.

POSERS PUT TO JAP EDITORS
Readers in the Land of the Rising Sun
Ask an Astonishing Variety of
Questions.

Japanese newspapers are called up
on to answer a variety Of questions
that might we'll stump lawyer. The
Yamato came up against the following
recently:
Last month / married a certain
man. but he has now divorced me.
His unreasonable excuse is that my
eyebrows are a pale. color and that
| must therefore be a leper Can l
sue him for the damage he is caus-
ing to my reputation? a Subscriber"
The answer was: Eyes, you can sue
him for breaking off the marriage, as
he cannot use pale-colored eyebrow
as cause for divorce"
More of a poser was submitted to
the wisdom Of the Yomluri in the fol-
lowing: Il am woman of twenty
years. / was born with a round face
and my friends make fun Of it, Please
tell me some way that | can change the
shape Of my face, for persecution to
which ] am subjected is more than !
can bear. A Subscriber"
The editor deserves credit both for
the truth and sympathy Of his answer
II am very sorry, but | do not know
of anybody who can change the shape
of your face However be encour-
aged, full-faced lady, as you are the
personifcation of the health of human
ity."

RIGHT EDUCATION.

This is truly the day Of education
and poor indeed is the chance ofany
boy or girl who comes to manhood
or womanhood without an education,
an insight into the laws Of nature,
of morality and right and judlcious
living that will broaden their sphere
and enhance Tie work of their re-
spectiye domains.
Every son, whatever may be his
expectations as to fortune and tut
ure, ought to be SO educated that
he can superintend some part OF the
complicated machinery Of social
life. Every daughter shoule be so
drilled in logic and lore that she c'n
answer the claims of humanity,
whether these claims demand the
work of the hand, OF the head or OF
the heart.

NO RECORD OF PAINE'S GRAVE
What Became CT Body Of Famous
Political Writer and Freethlnker
Is iiystery.

One of the completely uns0lved mys-
terles Of modern history Is what be-
came Of the body of Tom Paine, the
famous Anglo-American political writer
and free.lhinklng philosopher, WHO
exerted such a powerful influence
on the American public during
and subsequent TO the Revolution.
Paine died In New York In 1909, and
was buried IN New Rochelle. His re-
mains were later removed to England
by a radical leader named William
Corbett, who hoped by that act to
further republican doctrine In the
mother country. ON reaching England
Corbett left the body IN the hands OF
Il committee, aud what eventually be-
came OF 1t has never been cleared up.
According to one story, the bones
were left In a trunk on COrbett's farm
In England, where they had been for
warded by the committee. After Cor.
belts death, when an auction was held
Of his effects the trunk was removed
from his other possessions, and az
ter passing through numerous hands,
was returned to the keeping Of mem
Der of the republican committee who
was to hold it pending public funer-
al, which never took place. The re-
mains were thought by some to have
been taken to France, while others be-
lleved them TO lie in an unmarked
grave somewhere in England.

THE PRISON PROBE.

The state prison at MiIledgeWlle
is passing under the searchllght OF
investigation this week, and from
the evidence that is adduced it is
very clear to our mind that the
management, in some respects and
in some quarters is as rotten as il II
were presided over by the imps OF
hell.
Why should u man, because he IS
convicted OF n crime, be submitted
to such to.turous indignllles?
Should we not rather remember the
prayer Of the lowly Nazarene, who,
when dying on the cross, lifted his
voice and exclaimed: Father, for
give them, for they know not what
they do?'
The Truth is, when men become
so brutal toward their fellow beings
as to accord them the treatment that
is plainly shown has been accorded
the beings who have been consigned
to this prison to expiate their crimes,
they should be given dose of their
own medicine and placed in like
helpless condition and submitted to
the same indignites.
Right down in your heart, what
do you think Of it?

DREAD BAD SPIRIT
Patagonia Indians Have Peculiar
Religious" Belief.
Idea Growing Always More Powerful
Has Caused the Tribe to Become
Devil Worshpers.

A traveller, signing himself III. II.
r." who has been j0urneying in Pata-
gonia, at the extremity of South Amer
lea, tells the following, peculiar story,
observes the Montreal Family Herald.
II Is the hour before sunrise on the
panpas. To all sides stretch the wav-
ing steppes Of coarse grass. In the
center Of the scene are five tOldOs, the
skin dwellings Of the nomadic Iehuel-
che Indians Of Patagonia, the taliast
race on earth, pitched not far from
the slow-nowing stream.
AS the light strengthens, and almost
at the same moment, from each tent
there issues an Indian, bearing in his
hand a newly lighted torch. He dashes
with screams and shouts TO the back
Of his tent, waving the torch and max
ing as II he would drive somebody
away
And the somebody" whom lie is at
tempting to drive away is the Guali-
chu, the spirit Of evil.
OF course, the interesting thing is
to consider how such a custom arose.
The Tehuelche religion is quite sim
pie. There is a good spirit and bad
spirit. The good spirit made all the
meat and fat-bearing animals for the
food of his people, but having made
this effort he turned over in the great
cave where he lives in the mountains
and slept
But the Gualichu was of different
temperament-he stayed awake and
be set all the evil animals to plague
the Indians.
Thus far we can trace no belief.
Beyond that 1t is a more serious mat
ter. More and more terrible grew the
stories that were told Of the Guali-
chu's power and more and more did
he gain ascendancy over the lives Of
the more imaginative Indians, until at
last they became devil wOrshipers,
and their whole lives were made up
of an attitude Of terror toward this
dreadful power.
Every strange footprint which the
Indians saw they put down to the
Gualichu. When the glaciers halved
in the mountains and flung their ice
upon the waters of the upland lakes
the Indians said, at is the Gualichu
who is grooming in the mountains"
And so they became a race of devil
worshibers 1t is probable that most
devil worship has had a beginning Of
this kind. Here we have a people
cleanly and kindly, whose imagina-
lions became warped by the contem-
plation of the spirit of evil.
Tho savage as a rule is not in any
way imaginative-he needs something
from the outside to make him sO-the
darkness, greats storms, the black for
est clinging upon the mountains
these things excite in him unusual
thoughts, and as sure as they do that
so surely does devil worship begin to
creep in
Generally when devil worship be-
gins there are to be found individuals
who claim the priesthood of the devil.
Curiously enough, this has never been
the case among the Tehuelches-
their attitude toward the Gualichu is
perfectly sound. They drive him away
If they can andsthey propitiate him if
they can, but in neither performance
do they call in the aid of the witch
doctor.
