All rtchta of republication of apodal dispatches herein are also reserved. Fortune Tellers The beginning of a new year usually arouses a desire to know what the forthcoming twelve months have in store. We would like to lift the

veil that obscures futurity to catch a glimpse of

the workings of Providence as they pertain to us particularly. This longing is characteristic of the whole human race. It has no racial limita

tions. The South Sea Islander is just as keen to

obtain an insight into the future as is the American who pays $2 to have the lines of his palm read. And modern man differs in no respect from the old Roman who many centuries ago believed the viscera of victims and the flight of birds foretold weal or woe. 'Fortune telling is a superstition that civilization has not been able to eradicate. Cultured women and highly trained professional men still cling to the humbug. Epictetus, the Roman philosopher, in a discourse on the use of divination, which was practiced with superstitious abandon by his people, punctures the whole fabric of soothsaying with this question and answer: "What then leads us to frequent use of divination? Cowardice, the dread of what will happen. 'This is the reason why we flatter the diviners." His observation may be applied with potency Ho the men and women of today who believe a card dealt by a slattern y woman with a many-colored shawl foretells life or death, happiness or misfortune, success or failure Brave men and 'women have no fear of the future. They are wil

ling to accept the issue of life as it is presented. Weaklings fear their fall too much. ."They dread w hat will happen." Even granted that it were possible to penetrate the future, who would want his whole life for a year spread out before him with notations like this: "On February 2, you'll contract the influenza ; on March 3, your wife will die ; on June 6, you will make $6,000; on Sept. 8, a robber will shoot you, and on Nov. 13, you will be buried." Would not that be a cheerful prospect for .1919 ? And yet foolish people permit their destiny to be guided by sentences of ignorant fortune tellers. They will accept with finality and believe with dogmatic assurance silly predictions about their careers. Fear of the future has made them cowards.

fixed. Those of the Eastern are new and are not considered final. To assume that Germany and the new Slavic states, as well as those of the Balkan Peninsula, will acquiesce In their present status Is out of the question. Virulent nationalism, which seeks domination, as in the case of Germany, is not to be suppressed by treaties or the moral opinions of mankind, unless backed by overwhelming force. The superstate advocates Insist that here they are practical. They propose first disarmament, except for an international police, second the use of the economio boycott to bring rebellious nations to time, third the use of force as a last resort. ,Y But the war has shown that modern war Is largely a' matter of material equipment, and that there Is no disarming an industrial nation that desires in Its heart to play the war game. The nation that is supplied with

RECORD ACTIVITY NOTED AT GLEN MILLER STOCK YARDS

Perhaps you didn"t know that the Glen Miller Stock yards at Richmond is said to be the largest and best equipped privately owned stock yards west of Pittsburg. Well, it is, or we wouldn't say so. That is the testimony of railway officials and others who are familiar with the facts.

.What Sort of a League ? lYora Kansas City Times. "IHl s HAT should he America's position, the position ; ot American Liberals, toward a League of Nations? The president has not yet defined his position. But there are plenty of men who have done so

tor him. They have urged that the war will have been

iln yain if It does not produce a league which shall be a pi re, which is really a league of nations, with no formal

munitions almost overnight. A fleet of commercial airplanes can be at once transformed Into bombers. Poison gas was really In its earliest stages of development when the war ended.' The United States at once discontinued promising investigations that were being conducted into more effective gases. Suppose Germany should go on with such Investigations. The United States was at work on an aerial bomb. Suppose Germany should continue and perfect an aerial bomb. Disarmament Is simply a dream. No matter what conditions the Allies impose, Germany could be ready to fight again within a decade if she so desired. The economic boycott would be useful against the smaller powers. The United States might well employ it against Mexico, for Instance, should the need arise. But no economic boycott could be used against a powerful nation ready to make good its rights by force. As to the use of an International force, it -is evident that anything beyond the force that the present Entente, as an international vigilance committee, is now ready to use, Is Impracticable. An all Inclusive League of Nations would include too many peoples of different Ideals from cur own for America to trust with handling an international police force. Of course, it is said there are to be no more secret

arrangements within the league. Such a suggestion is of the sort to make experienced men tear their hair. There are secret arrangements in the United States Senate. Proceedings of regular British cabinet meetings must be reported to the sovereign. So when ministers do not wish to report to the sovereign they hold a dinner instead of. a meeting. There are secret arrangements wherever human beings get together to do business. A Germany admitted to a League of Nations would soon have a German group, ready to support her designs. All eastern Europe is a fertile field for such combinations.

If a powerful force were put at the command of a German group, the mischief done might be incalculable. The United States could not possibly afford to belong to such a league. It would be a trap for war, an Instrument fashioned for the use of the unscrupulous. Does that mean that no progress can be made toward lasting peace founded on justice? By no means. ' Out of the stress of the last four years has come a real League of Nations, founded on association in common cause. This league is not on paper, but in the hearts of men. It is an Entente, an understanding, and not a formal alliance. It presents a united front to the world as the champion of liberty and justice, because it plans no injustice, and the safety of Its members is bound up in seeing that they are defended against such aggression as that of Germany. Quite possibly, as a result of the association-of the war, the United States, Britain and France might agree to arbitrate all disputes, as has been suggested. As to how far this agreement could eventually be extended, time alone would show. But the growth would be gradual and normal, and thus effective. As H. H. Powers has said in

inai remarKaDie book, "The Great Peace:" "The world will not be united as a motley assemblage of discordant wills, divergent cultures and differing developments, all by the magic of an agreement and a mechanized procedure. The union will come by gradual crystallization around a congenial center." The world already has a wonderful illustration of the workings of such a development in the British em-

teort of superstate, with legislative. Judicial and executive (functions, competent to enforce its decrees with an international police. At first glance this seems an attractive proposal. It Ms only after It has been considered in the light of experience and concrete facts that it becomes apparent that however splendid as an ideal, it is so far removed from present possibilities that Its adoption would be calamitous. The visionary closely approaches the reactionary. To take a simple illustration, Independence for the various native states of India may be the ideal. But to grant home rule today would result in a madhouse. The great question Is bow to get effective international co-operation in matters vitally affecting the great powers. Dependence on an International court is possible to a degree. It ought to be always possible in the case of nations with such common ideals and purposes as England, France and the United States. But to suppose it possible in the case of the nations cast of the Rhine is to go counter to all the experience of history. Boundaries of the Western powers are relatively

bonds holding it together. Indeed, one of its new citizens, General Smuts, has remarked that the empire has flourished by reason of Its loose organization and that it would not stand solidification into a rigid state. So Canada, refusing to bind itself over to send help to the mother country, sent out its men by the hundred thousand when the need came. The empire's bonds are in the hearts of its people. In similar fashion might grow a working arrangement, a gentlemen's agreement, about the powers that have been brought together in the fight for freedom. These powers are trustees for peace in a large share of the world today. Incidentally, their trusteeship will be effective only so long as they are able to back it with force. In some such plan as this lies the hope of progressnot in a formal league which seeks mechanically after the Prussian system to Impose a form on the world for which it is not ready. Real American liberalism is on the Bide of practical progress toward the peace of Justice. It is not on the side of the dangerously impractical and the visionary.

Pennsylvania system is spending a lot of money right now to improve switching and loading facilities at this model plant. A long concrete retaining wall and the laying of another switch track close alongside the plant is a part of the work now being done to facilitate unloading for feeding in transit, an extra lot of which has been done here recently on account of the various embargoes. These embargoes have not, however, prevented daily purchases of hogs and cattle. We have spoken of this as a "model plant," and for this reason: It is all under roof and is well lighted. Roof windows are tight and are handled by cords, just as in greenhouses. The cattle and hogs are protected from cold, an important consideration, and are shaded in summer. The miles of open pens at the great city stock yards, are, when filled with live stock in zero weather, a sight to make human men protest, and to incline them to vegetarianism. "The merciful man is merciful to his beast," said the inspired writer, and nothing in the Bible is truer.

The Glen Miller yards are owned by Clem Gaar and Jerome Shurley, and they have buyers stationed at Lynn in Randolph county and at New Paris, O. They buy everything in the line

of live stock, at all times, but no killing is done at the plant. Embargo On Hogs. Recent embargoes have interfered with their shipment but has not stopped their buying whatever has been brought in. A section of new pens has been added of late and more will be built as needed. Last Saturday was a busy day at the plant, as usual, and during the hour the writer ws present to note proceedings, a new record was made. About 11 o'clock a big double-deck truck came rolling in, containing 51 hogs, owned by Horace Throckmorton of Wayne township. Mr. Throckmorton said he "calculated the load would net him $2,000. He proved to be a pretty good guesser for the load weighed 12.326 pounds and brought $1,984.32. You can do your own figuring as to the average weight of the hogs and the price per pound. I haven't time to tell you. Hog Sales. It may be of interest to note the names of the Wayne county farmers who sold hogs at Glen Miller yards on Friday and up to noon on Saturday. The list follows: Benjamin Parshall, T. C. Kenworthy, H. E. Armacost, Fred Brown, Floyd Bogan, Gus Winters. James Moore, C.

R. Ross, Charles Perry, Frank Edwards, Harry Ryan, Earl Voore, Percey Farlow, C. J. Addleman, Jesse Blose, Charles Plankenhorn, O. H. Pierce. H. S. Bogan, Fred Bogan. Everett Druley, Joe Mc Kee, Harvey Kuhlman, Horace Throckmorton, Earl

Davenport, Charles Coffman, Joe

Helms and Elbert Kemp. Among those who sold was one man who had a prosperous looking, or at least, a well-fed sow weighed separately, and the check made out to his wife's order. A neighbor asked, whv"Well," said he, "it's her sow and I aim to ive her what's hern." That's the idea, exactly, gentlemen, in our modest opinion. But the man who had asked the why of, the check," added, that "the only thing I give to my wife is my religion," whereat an

other arose to remark "that if that was all he gave to her she didn't get any thing of much value." Yes, you can hear a few good-natured jokes around the hot stove down at the stock yards, if you are a good listener. Future Prices on Hogs. There is naturally some uneasiness among hog raisers as to what hogs are likely to sell at in February and later on. There seems to be little chance of cheaper corn, at least until the next crop is ready for market, nor even then should the 1919 crop be below normal. Concensus of opinion inclines to the belief that prices on all kinds of ive stock will be maintained and that the big packers will not be permitted to play horse with the needs of producers. Winter feeding will likely be as heavy as usual and the crop of hogs for spring shipment, will, as a rule be as large as during last spring and summer. Some, however, are not so sanguine and are inclined to hold corn, and not hogs, for a better market. . Farmers to jGet Permits. The federal food administrator for Indiana sent out telegrams on Saturday to the county food administrators

asking that they call meetings of the farmers and county agents to work out an equitable distribution system of shipping permits. H. W. Gilbert, food administrator for Wayne, received notice that farmers may make applications for permits through the railway agents at their shipping points. The agent will then file said applications with the superintendent of the live stock. division of the line. Embargo at Cincinnati. As this is being written a phone message states that there is an embargo on this Monday morning at Cincinnati. This is likely to be true but has not been confirmed. Shipments of hogs have been received at Cincinnati without the formality of shipping permits and it is hoped that market at least will be able to remain "open."

Hi-Y Boys to Entertain with Farmers' Social

About fifty couples are expected to attend the Hi-Y "farmers social" to be given in the "Y" next Thursday evening. All ladies, who will be the guests of the Hi-Y members, havt, been asked to come in gingham dresses, aprons and sunbonnets; while the boys will wear overalls and heavy shoes.
