NORTH DAKOTA
STANDS SECOND
LEADS IN PRODUCE
TON OF WHEAT BY A FEW
THOUSAND BUSHELS.

st. Paul. Oct. 21s--Minnesota had the
best yield per acre of any state in the
union in rye and hay and the second
best in wheat during the season just
closing. Figures showing these facts
were compiled by George Welsh, immi-
grafton commissioner, from the govern
ment crop report. Beside that Mime
sofa had the largest yield of wheat Of
any state in the union
Minnesota's wheat crop is figured at
94,562,000 bushels, an average of 1875
bushels per acre. Wisconsin was the
only state with better average, 10
bushels, but it's total crop was only g.
$4,000. North Dakota raised $685.
900 bushels nearly as much as Minne-
sofa, but the average yield was only
13.7. Iowa's average was 14.71 and
South Dakota and Nebraska had aver
ages of about IA bushels.

given the state great prestige and
much benefit is bound to follow.
Being veteran in the senate 1t was
no surprise that Senator McCumber
should have been so highly placed, for
his personal popularity with his col
leagues is great. while his merits and
length of service entitle him to places
OF dignity and Importance in the COM
position Of committees. This will ex-
plain his advancement as a member
of the finance committee.
johnson is New Man.
But with Johnson the case is diff
ferent. He is a new man and has not
years of experience and length Of SER
vice to plead for him. Nevertheless
he has received flattering recognition
in committee assignments and stands
high at both ends of the avenue, be-
ing in nigh favor with the president
and the leaders in the senate. And
it is gratifying that the senior and
junior senators from the state should
be In entire accord and on terms OF
friendship and intimacy. They pre-
sent a united front on all matters af-
fecting the interests of North Dakota
invariably acting in concert wherever
the interests of the state are concern
ed. For this reason they are able to
receive results which would be i'm
possible under other conditions. If
for instance, they were not so strongly
placed on important committees and
were not in personal and political har-
mony or were not persona grata with
the leaders of the senate, they could
not accomplish so much that is salts
factory and beneficial to the people
of North Dakota.
State Would Suffer.
1t would be singularly unfortunate
IL this favorable condition were chang
ed. Imagine the situation IL the scheme
to defeat Senator McCumber succeeds.
The new man will be at odds with his
colleague and the leaders OF the SEN
ate and will have no standing on the
committees or influence at the Waite
House. McCumber and johnson are
strong because they are united and in
fluential in both legislative and exec
utive circles.
Senator McCumber has been of not
able service to his state at the ma
tiona capital He has achieved a sue
cess as conspicuous as the failure
scored by his former colleague. Sell
dom has senator obtained such dis
tinction and favor during mis- short
service as Senator McCumber has
achieved. BY q curious inversion OF
common sense, however, some people
affect to regard this as evidence that
Senator McCumber should not be re-
elected.

Though they say the world is round
We sometimes think it square,
From little vicious rubs we get,
From corners here and there:
But one great truth in life I've found
While journeying to the west,
The only ones we really wound,
Are those we love the best.

Lookin' blue keeps sunshine out,
Dwarfs your life from inside out,
Never helps mankind bit;
Don't you think you'd better
quit?
Give your better self place,
Show the world smiling face
Then you soon will feel it too,
That the world has smiles for
you.
Lookin' blue won't help You higher
Lookin' blue will not inspire,
Lookin' blue shuts up the scroll
Hides the music in your soul,
Let the sunshine break the ties,
Then the music will arise,
Then the world will catch the
strain,
Echo back to you again.
