producer, then he may want TO emulate
him. Out OF this desire will come the
determination to turn away from the
city to the farm.
Country boys and girls-hearing OF
the struggles Of the wage earners In
the cities--will be less inclined to ven
ture into such an uncertain and un-
satisfying life. The result will be that
more of them win elect to remain on
the farm.
Old conditions of farm life are pass
ing away. The drudgery and the isola-
ton are gone. The use Of new tangled
machinery makes farm work easier and
lighter. The rural mail, the telephone,
the better roads, more social life, bring
the people closer together.
Agitators. philanthropists and others
who seek to improve the conditions of
the human kind can do no better than
urge the back to the farm" idea. BY
helping to relieve crowded municipal
conditions and to make farming more
popular they will render a real and
lasting service to the country.

half of a half section farm, and thereby

of the state. The investor buys the
whole half section, and quite possibly
the half section adjoining it, and the

The land dealer knows on which side
his bread Is buttered, and looks for a

therefore wheat it Is. If the renter
wishes TO adopt some better system
of farming than a continuous cropping
to small grains, he is in most instances
unable to do SO, because Of the mis-
taken idea of the owner that wheat
is the "big tlling"-that he can croE
his land year after year without return
and still make a profit. The worst

TRAITORS TO BUCHANAN.

Is Buchanan slated for the political
double cross by the insurgents who are
dominated by Tom Marshall? There
have been numerous intimations of this
and some of the insurgents-opposed
to MarshaIIs efforts to become dictator
and 'boss'-present strong arguments
along this line.
They point out there is a working al
lance between democratic Governor
Burke and Insurgent Boss" Marshall.
That one existed last campaign was so
evident even the friends of Marshall
do not deny it.
Marshall must trade with Burke to
win himself. There will be no opposing
candidates at the primaries for the
democratic nomination for governor.
Neither is it likely there will be oppo-
sition to the democratic candidates for
the senatorial job. This leaves Burke
in a position to trade and help his
friend, Marshall, by inducing democrats
to vote and boost for Marshall for the
republican nomination. That this was
done by democrats at the primaries
last year was a matter of public COM
ment.
In order 10 repay Burke for helping
him to land the senatorial nomination
Marshall will promise insurgent votes
i'm the fall to elect Burke. That the
pact was carried out last, year is Ger.
tain. There are not enough democratic
votes in the state to elect Burke. TIL,
stalwarts will not support him. H,
must combine his democratic strength
with Marshalrs insurgers.
Even If Buchanan should be fortunat
enough to secure the gubernatoria
nomination, he will be butchered a
the general election by the Marshall
Burke combine. He cannot get the in
surgent vote that Marshall controls
because Burke must have those.
1t looks like a rocky road for Buchan
an il he wins the nomination.
Last year it was generally insiste
the Marshall crowd butchered Twiche
at the primaries-by casting their vote
for C. A. Johnson-to kill Off "Twic1
then voting against Johnson at II
fall election to elect their political cor
federate-John Burke.

Any movement that would accomplish
