Years Crops Now thnt nil crops have made their growth and most of them have been harvested it appears on the basis of reports of the De partment of Agriculture that the aggregate yieldi of all crops for this country is about 79 per cent less than the total production of last year but scarcely half of one per cent below the average for the last five years This is a gratify ing showing in view of the unde niably unfavorable season through out the growing period The corn crop made some im provement during the last month owing to the unusually late frosts which allowed late fields to mature a much larger yield than had been hoped althoughcontinued rains did some damage to corn that had ripened early The totalI yield is still thought to be over onethird of a billion bushels below the recordbreaking crop of a year ago or about 11 per cent It is the third largest corn crop on record having been exceededonly in 1910 and 1906 The corn crop suffered the greatest damage in the states west of the Mississippi River although Illinois Indiana and Kentucky also fell below last years record Most of the other states to the eastward have more corn than a year ago The quality of corn is generally poor and few states have it rated nshighas 90 per cent The decrease in yields is more than offset in most cases by appre ciation in prices Wheat and flax seed are the only notable excep tions While the corn crop suf fered a decrease of 11 per cent in yield the average farm price re ported on Nov 1 is 21 per cent above last years figure Wheat decreasednearly 6 per cent in total yieldand only rose 1 cent a bushelor less than 1 per cent in price but oats declined 22 per cent in yield and advanced 25 per cent in price barley lost 10 per cent in total yield and gained 54 per cent in price rye dropped 7 per cent in yield and rose 16 per cent in price hay decreased 23 per cent in total crop and increased 22 per cent in price and potatoes lost 17 per cent in total crop but gained 37 per cent in price per bushelThis situation does not offer muchcomfort to those sections that have been hit hardest by drouth or flood It is the sacri lice of their crops that has resulted in enhanced values for the yields of average size in the more favored parts of the country Taking the country as a whole the total value of crops compares favorably with last year The hardships come

KIPLING Rtidynrd Kiplings poem The Female of the Species A Study in Natural History has brought forth the usual number of parodies whichappear after the publication of euch of his poems One of the most striking of these is by Sidney Low published in the London Stunlurdwhich is Till SPECIES Of TilE FEMALE Suggested by Rudyatd Kipling By Sidney Low When the Soul of Man awakened when the Woman that God gave Stoodrevealed as wife and sister not his chattel or his slave Then he formed his own conception of what Woman ought to be if lAnd he made a Plaster Image and he told her it was She for the Woman as God made her wasnt good enough for Man He invented large improvements upon Natures crude plan And he washed that image nice and white and set it on the shelf Where he kept assorted virtues that he did not want himself Man might govern fight and reason to his perfect satisfaction Soothed by Woman at the season when his mind was out of action Woman good and kind clinging timid soft anaemic pale For the female of the species was an adjunct to the mule But the Woman as Man made her scarcely suits our modern notions i With her regulated instincts and her neatly trimmed emotions We have dropped the weaker vessel and the tame domestic pet And our taste finds something lacking in that saintlike statuette So our literary gentlemen have modelled it afresh And the tenycotta fairy is a Demon of the Flesh Half MotherFiend halt Maenad she wolfs tooth and wildcats nail j Armedand engined fanged and poisoned for the hunting of the male + With the morals of the hencoop with the Jungles code of law With the mercy of the tigress when she rips her quarry raw Such the bards vivacious vision but the woman who can judge Knows that much of it is fiction and a good deal simply fudge And Man knows it Mr Poet Knows your singular ideal Does not bear the least resemblance to the Woman that is real For Woman aint no plastersaint and she aint no tigress too But an

Cof PRESCRIPTIONS CAREFULLY COMPOUNDEDs 39hr YYYWA jjA R Reason for Thanksgiving Many American farmers mu bo thankful this year for the va riety rather than the extent of their blessings and in some cases for the prospect rather thin the realization of prosperity The vagaries of a icicle season hay distributed the bounties of nature unevenly There is a Inarke- shortage of some of the principalI crops as compared wih the bump er production of a year n obutt the increase in prices is generally more than sufficient to offset the decrease in average production The average yield of all crops i s within 79 per cent of last year figuresThe protracted summer drouthI over u wide territory substantially checked the increase of certain in sect and fungus euemies of crop Itwus the first dry season for several years in some of the semi arid sections where settlement has been heavy There it taught the new farmers the limitations of those regions It convincedset tiers that the staple crops of the East will not make remunerative yields under meager rainfall 1h cattleman of the West is thankful ecause the rigorous season demonstrated that much of his terri tory is suited only to grazing The shortage in hay drove corn belt farmers to utilize all the corn ClOp The cornshock provedun safe where carelesslyl made theI silo the greatest conserver of feed from corn proved equal to the emergency Cornbelt agriculture- is ripe for a full utilization of the corn crop in sustaining the herds of cattle which will be necessary to supply the shortage of prime beef and the value of the silo has been tully shown All branches of the live stock industry have a healthy undertone Through a stason of heavy marketing the price of the best raft horses has held up steadily and the fall sales of purebred horses reveal the broad conserva tive search of farmers for high class mares The cattle market is finishing the season with a return lofty prices with the business Breeders are now beginning to reap their reward No doubt now exists regarding the inadequate production of beef and there is a return to cattlebreeding that will affordan enlarged outlet for breeding stock The era of liquidation of range flocks has about reached its limits and flocks will established on many farms Swineraisers apparently face a period of ascending values Disease has forced many localities to cash in hogs prematurely There has been abundant opportunity to prove the efficacy of serum protection so that breeding op rations may in future be conducted withmore certainty The dairyman has fared unusu ally well The demand for his products and his stock has been insatiable Prices have been remunerative to a degree scarcely anticipated assuring the perms nence of dairying as a large ui d rofitable industry The eagerness with which dairymen are- dopting the best methods and appliances indicates the security of their foundation work Perhaps the greatest cause for general thankfulness among r American farmers this year is the persistent search for the most re sultful methods iin every detailof farm management In spite of the unfavorable season exhibits at fairs were of recordbreaking vol ume and excellence and visitors ame in greater numbers than ev before and this good work- ontinues The International show furnishes the climax of the seasons exhibitions with an un equaled number of

Christian church Sunday afternoon the Hon Edgar B Hager of Ashland delivered the principal address which was a beautiful tribute to the departed members The musical program consisting of a quartette by Che Misses Wood and Messrs Hazel rigg a duet by the Misses Wood and a solo by Mr G B Senff Mr Hagers Speech Time rolls his ceaseless course The race of yore Who danced our infancy upon their knee And told our marveling boyhood leg ends store Of their strange ventures happd by land or sea How are they blotted from the things that be How few all weak and withered from their force Walt on the verge of dark eternity Like standard wrecks the tide return ing hoarse To sweep them from our sight Time rolls his ceaseless course Thus we are again brought to the annual Lodge of Sorrow when with fitting solemnity of ceremony we are j to do honor to the memory of those of our brothers who in the ceaseless r6ll of time have passed the inner I door of the Grand Lodge on High and have been welcomed by the Grand Exalted Ruler of the Universe The sweetest and subllmest part ofII our ritual is that which teaches that living or dead an Elk is never forgot ten never forsaken Morning or noon may pass by him the light of day sink heedlessly in the west but ere the shadows of midnight shall fall the chimes of memory will be pealing forth the friendly message To our absent brothers This in a word is the true essence of all fraternity and in no order is it so beautifully exempli Pied as in the Benevolent and Protect ive Order of Elks We are assembled therefore to per form those solemn duties we owe to our dead and to express in words of f tenderness the cherished memories we v hold of our departed and thus to givetf- v proof of our profession that Living or dead an Elk is never forgotten vV never forsaken j Time iir its mutations is ever kalel V Y doscopic Transitory life is made up of swiftly changing scenes and its highway is strewn with shattered hopes and aching hearts and yearning souls where death affrights and life gives hopes of something better in the world beyond Today sunshine blesses and hallows life All nature feels the soft sweet touch of the Almightys omnipotent and gentle hand The flow ers bloom and give forth their fra grance to the grateful air The birds in wild and Joyous notes carol their I i Hon Edgar B Hager music in their native trees and the generousbountystep and buoyant heart and paints roses on the blooming cheeks The eye is crystal in its sparkle and hap uponhermen Zephyrs laden with the rich fragrance of a bountiful nature kiss the brow where health and content ment twin rulers of the realms of hap plness have their regal seat and all J pralsotoFriend meets with friend and at tho shock of cordial handshake hearts pul eyesbeamceal Brother meets with brother and with that grip which mutually expresses more than friendships ties the fra heyondtheish ends and makes us love our broth er as we love ourselves Tqday all this may bo tomorrow chaos may come again For us tomor rows sun may never shed Its genial rays nor glad our hearts with beam ing beauty as it clothes all nature in a gorgeous robe of gold Tomorrow the rude blasts of death and destruction may wither up the heart and drive be werthatsldfrostsUJie tiny throats of Gods feathered cho tomorrows destroyItiY 1 the song birds home and driving and rending leaf and branch may leave but desolation In Its swaying path To morrow the beaming eye may become vacant staring and expressionless and radiant happiness may give way to black despair and sorrow sit where gladness was enthroned Tomorrows iI whirling winds may drive before their ruthless sweep the gentle zephyrs that played about our brow and freeze the genial blood that warmed to the touch of springtime balm and responded to the call of friendships happy greet Ing Tomorrow the cordial handshake of our friends may relax and those hands wo were wont to grasp in Ira ternal greeting may fall nerveless from our own and the fraternal heart that beat in unison with our own may feel Its pulsations weak and weaker grow until while we sadly watch and wait the end its action may be stilled for over in the rigid calm of death So thus In life we are In the midst of death Dissolution attends the door of lifes lodge room and at the approach of death to tho Inner door it faintly whispers Who comes here Without knock or pass or word or token this grim reaper enters In and the outer and Inner guards are Impo tent to stop his passage While life once fed with animated hope held fraternal Intercourse with kindred souls death stalks alone and silence marks the period of his coming Chill grapples with tho vitals of a brother cherished and one brief atrug gle ended death stands tho undisputed victor Nor are his ravages confined to class or creed but wherever breath gives life in palace or in hovel In Jew or Gentile in Catholic or in Protest ant after a few fitful years at most grim death comes on apace and claims to his cold embrace all those marked for his own In sunny climes where nature scents the sweet perfume of perpetually blooming flowers and In frigid zones where bleakness rules alone death floats in sunshines rays and rides the boasting winds His Is a claim from which none of us can escape His home la in the moun tains where giant oaks lift their state- lyI heads to kiss the fleeting clouds and tumbling rills run wanton to the brooks In the valleys where verdure green clothes the warm earth with the velvet carpeting which God and nature weave on the rivers where stately craft make merry with the gen tle swells and in the mighty seas where billows roll with rumbling mu sics swell The hills rockribbed and ancient- as the sun The vales stretching in pensive quiet ness between the venerable woods The rivers that move In majesty and The complaining brooks that make the meadows green And poured round all old oceans gray and melancholy waste Are but the solemn decorations all of the great tomb of man What is life We came out of the eternity of the past and we enter the infinity of the future with no certain knowledge of whence we came or whither we go For centuries science with her magic wand has bent oer the crucible of truth and fanned the fires of hope watching and waiting and laboring for some transmutation of Natures wondrous elements that would solve the secret so long sought of human life and defeat the fear so long dreaded of certain death while Religion with her flaming torch and wondrous hope has searched through Revelations pages for satisfying knowledge of the life beyond the grave The one in feeble terms as serts a faltering hope the other in spite of doubt and fear says I believe This life with its long train of trials sorrows and disappointments would bei worse than miserable In Its failure- were I It not for the hope by which It Is sustained of the glorious life in Gods eternityThe transition from mortal life to death is but the transition from living death to life eternal All that Is mortal is transient and must die and decay The immortal part of man that soul and spirit that speak their ethereal existence through the medium of the eye can never die but will live throughout yettous hope and sustains us in our trials while traveling through the Vale of Tears When we see the eyes of our loved ones close in death our poign ant grief is softened and our sadness sanctified in the beautiful promise given that we shall meet again In the great hereafter So it Is with our absent brothers They have paid their debt of nature and their mortal part slumbers In the bosom of the mother earth while their spirits have aspired the skies and clothed in the haWllamcnts of immor tality they await upon the other shor to give fraternal greeting These beloved breathren to whom today we pay the tribute of our respect have Indeed ended their mortal existence but through our belief In the mercy of God we may confidently hope that their souls shall bloom In eternal spring As with these departed brothers so with us Yet a few days and theo The all beholding sun shall see no more In all his course nor yet In the cold Where ground thy pale form was laid with I many tears Nor In the embrace of ocean shall exist Thy image Earth that norished thee shall claim Thy growth to be resolved to earth again And lost each human trace surrender ing up Thlrfe individual being shalt thou go To mix forever with the elements Though these our departed brothers have ceased to abide with us In memorythroughternal intercourse still live and at this moment when we are met to pay our theyhoverJ their spiritual being and whisper in the soft accents of Heavens sweetest cadence their approval of our purpose here today While we sorely miss tho friendly greeting the fraternal grasp and the mellow accents of brotherly Affection and ward we still hold that enduringthati ofii uk the tender memories of lod- gejjjsojjthenobilijof character for which they were con spicuous when they moved among us and thatmemory is as constant as the fixed Stir of Fidelity that continues ever to burn Their faults If faults they had and who of us has not his faultswe write upon the sand Their virtues upon the tablet qf our love and memory With us no slander detracts from their earthly achievements with us only that which was worthy In their lives 1Is held In fond remembrance To know that they were worthy of the name of Elk Is to know that they were men of worth and character To know that they bore that name with honor is to know that they merit the highest com mendatlon and now as their mortal earthwei goodInour voices to where the angels sing their loud hosannas about the throne of God and greet the heavenly spirits of our departed brothers in the fraternal songs of charity and love In the busy walks of life at night when all the world is wrapped in Its sacred hush and the stars shine out with infinite promise to a wondering world at noon in the burst of sunshine and at dawn when the mists rollback the sable curtain of night we hold the memory of our departed brothers Forgot them Never so long as love shall fan the flame of fraternal hearts and memory hold its sway over congenial minda- Tranaltory life is so brief that eyen though they live to the full measure and fruition of three score years and ten to our eyes Our brothers life Seems like the flashing ofa falling star Which for a moment fills the Heavens with light And vanishes forever Of those whose death we have sometime mourned and whose blissful memory we this day commemorat we would say That even as their souls beyond the stars Shall liveas God lives everlastingly So shall the memory of their noble deeds Remain forever in the hearts of Elks Nor shall the record of their fame be touched By Times effacing hand They are immortal Brothers and friends farewell to you Your eyes Have deaths inviolate seal upon their lids They cannot see the seasons glorious shows Although methinks in memory of you The grass grows greener here and tenderer The daily benediction of the sun Falls on your graves as if the very dust Has sentience still and kindling into life Under the fiery teachings of the sun Broke through the turfy barriers of the tomb To mingle with the light and mel low it i upliftsIts smiling face to look upon the dawn Or bows its head to worship silently The awful glory of the midnight stars But what takes on a gentler grace for you And for your sake a sweeter incense flings From out its golden censer To know that death is not the end of all life in a consoling thought when the solemn and trying hour of dissolution draws nigh unto us The anima lifeglvIng life The true life does not begin un til our dust Is returned to the earth and our spirit to the God that gave it In mortal life we are but serving a probationery period in which it should be our special care and study to pre pare ourselves for the immortal and everlasting life beyond the grave On this occasion we should catch an in spiration from the death of our broth ers who have preceded us to the shores of eternity and resolving each to be ready for the call when it shall come let us so live that when the dread sum mons shall come when the lights shall grow dim and the features of our loved ones become indistinct in the throer of deaths last struggle let our live be so ordered that when the attending spirits bend low to bear our souls away to the new life of Gods great be yond we may graTesLiko of hI couch About pleasantdreams While we commemorate the virtue purposetothe happiness of our living members In charity Justice and brotherly love wo should hold them and in the light jUdgethemduty by counsel and precept and exam

stroke of eleven which in this Order signifies Remembrance Wherever an Elk may roam whatever his lot in life may be when this hour falls upon the dial of night the great heart of Elkdom swells and
