HUTCHINSON. KAS., July 81
Arbtuer Homerg and his brother
living in the southeastern section
OF Rush county, have sold nearly
enough grass-hoppers to buy
themselvs a motorcycle. They
use light wagon with canvas
wings attached which scoop the
hoppers in by the bushel.
The insects are then killed by
starving and dried, after which
they are shipped to an Eastern

THE HOME PAPER

1t wants you on it's reading list, re-
corded on it's books and then you will
get it every week and know just how it
looks.
1t will tell you all about the news
in this and nearby towns, who gets
married, dies, is born, and who elopes
or browns.
There isn't u thing from A to z that
tends to help the town, that the paper
doesn't catch it up and quickly pass
it round.
1t tells about your visitors with
titles emphasized, while all their
points of merit are freely generalized.
1t tells the story of success but
screens the failure side, and when the
facts will make mess it simply let's
them slide.
1t tells about your virtues, and
overlooks your sins, and puts an
extra emphasis upon the birth of
twins.
1t never deigns to tell u lie except
in personal praise and then it does it
clear and strong, and with its choic-
est phrase.
In writing up your marriage, it
elaborates with care, and says the
bride was beautiful and the groom
was on the square.
1t doesn't matter who it is that
crosses Jordun's river, the paper
tickets him as saint and safely sends
him thither.
1t tells about that darling boy who
had dollar raise, leaves out his
measly little tricks and just recites
his praise.
And there's your daughter on the
street, gadding night and day, of all
the rumor, slow or fleet, it wisely does
not say.
1t paints out every blemish on the
picture of your life, and paints in
every virtue of Il home that has no
strife.
1t learns to read between the lines

1t senses all the skeletons behind

your little streaks of yellow, just how

1t knows what families live in peace

1t knows the man who pays and the

Knockers, and the one who makes

regarding corn and laterin the season

effort in selecting mature ears for seed
from the ticld before frost, the early
maturing characteristics will be de
veloped.
The club work will end for the year
with Corn Carnival held in Sterling

in early December, probably. The

lei III ClC lllSIOly VI e
is being enacted on the floor OF
the United States Senate.
A little band of Bourbon sena-
tors, discredited reactionarles, is
endeayoring, under cover of the
sntiquated rules of the Senate to
plunge this country into de-
yastating panic. These men
constitute less than one third OF
the Upper House. All but four
of them represent States which
in the last election utterly re-
pudiated the Tory party, and
cast their electoral votes for eth
er Wilson or Roosevelt.
They know that the Democrat
ic majority will pass the tariff
bill without material amendment,
and they know that the business
interests of the country are
anxiously awaiting that event.
but they refuse to permit the
bill to come to a vote.
Day after day they drooi
through long speeches filled with
directful predictions concerning
the industrial paralysis which
will follow the success of the
Democratic program. Naturally
these calamitous prophesies are
carried over the country by the
great news agencies, and a feel
ing of uneasiness is created in
certain quarters.
MANUFACTURING A PANIC.
IN the face of record-breaking
crops and almost ideal CONNER
ciar prospects these Tories would
frighten the nation into panic.
They would gladly witness the
crash of banks.Hhe destruction of
industrial enterprises and the
sweeping away of hard earned
fortunes if as result they and
the interests they represent
might return to the control of
the Government.
Apparently some of the great
Wall Street financial institutions
are parties to the conspiracy.
They fear the enactment of the
Wilson-Bryan currency bill,
which ia designated to destroy
the most vicious features of the
money trust.
Fortunately for the people, the
National Goverrmentisin is in strong
hands. Secretary of the Treasury
McAdoo has already announced
that he will use all the power of
his department to frustrate the
Vaccinations of the banks, and
President Wilson and the Demo-
cratic majority in the Senate
have served notice on the re-
dictionaries that they must be
prepared to assume full resp on-I
sibility for the result of future
dilatory tactics.
The country is standing by the
President. Up-to this date there
are no signs of a stampede, and
Dun's and Bradstreet's, those
two great commercial barometers
fairly exude optimism.
EROGRESSIVES REPUDlATE
TORIES.
In this connection the action
Of Senator LaFollette and his
friends is highly significant.
Fighting Bob" is not only a
highminded stateman, but he is a
first rate politician as we'll. The
other day he gathered ten pro-
gressive Republican senators in
his Office and told them the peo-
Eastern Colorado times., 1913-08-07

pie Of the country were getting
mighty tired of the tactics of the
Smoot- Penrose crowd. At his
suggestion resolutions repudiat-
ing the Tories and their methods
were prepared and given, to the
press. Since then LaFollette and
his supporters have been voting
with the Democrats on many of
the divisions,-and they have been
making it very clear that they
have nothing in common with the
Smoot- Penrose reactionaries.
The legitimate business inter-
ests of the country are also maxi
ing themselves heard in no un-
certain fashion. Business men
who are not dependent on special
privilege for their existence are
demanding that the Democrats be
given an opportunity to test the
tariff and currency reforms
which they have promised the
people.
The feeling is almost universal
that Congress should dispose of
both measures before October 1st
and adjourn and go home. The
House is prepared to do this, and
the Senate would undoubtedly
fall into line if it were not for the
little band of Tories who are
making a last desperate stand on
the evening of their Waterloo.
To LIMIT DEBATE.
The situation in the Senate as
caused a renewal of the agitation
for the amendment of the rules
of that body so as to place a rea.
sonable limit on debate. Sena-
tor Owen of Oklahoma, one of
the really commanding figures in
the Upper house, is the leader of
this movement.
He has pointed out that the ex-
isting rules enable pitiful min
ority to control Congress. No
measure can be placed on the
statute books until it has passed
both houses. However progress
sive the House and Senate and
President may be, they are to a
great extent helpless in the pre-
sence of a prolonged filibuster in
the Senate.
Six or eight senators can tie up
the business of the Upper House
for months by merely talking.
There is no way under the rules
to stop debates. The tools of
Special Privilege simply drown
the hopes of the people in a food
of words. Senator Owen has
given notice that he will press
his amendment at the regular
session in December. 1t will un-
doubtedly be adopted if it can be
brought to a vote.
McADOO ACTS AGAIN..
Talking of panics, Secretary
McAdoo gave the Wall Street
interests another much needed
illustration of the paper of the
Federal Government to prevent
made to-order panics when he
announced that he would lend
the banks of the South and West
$50, 900, 900 to enable them to ex-
tend the credit needed to move
the nations crops. ~ >a.s9
When we get a proper system
Of rural credits, such loans will
pass directly to the Government
to the farmers without the inter-
vention of the middleman. Eu-
