Tavenner on Agriculture

In a speech in the house OF repre-

Dr. W. f. Taylor. soil expert for
Deere & Co.. with comments on the
same by the local papers. in which ii
has appeared. in the course Of his
remarks on the subject Congressman
Tavenner said:

pose In making these remarks Is tc

wo things. First that the American

ing high prices; and, second, that the
farmer can benefit himself as well as
consumers By taking more interest in
the raising of live stock.
1T is a great pity that these tracts
do not have a more extensive circula-
ton among the farmers of this coun-
Try. I am going TO take the liberty Of
suggesting to this house and to my
good friend. DR.. Joseph a. Arnold, the
very competent chief of publications
Of the department Of agriculture, that
it might be a good idea if these tracts,
such as the one I now present. could
be adopted as public documents and
be listed and sent out upon request as
farmers bulletins, which are proving
so popular among the farmers In ev-
cry one Of our districts.

cannot be done in a day. 1t requires
months of patience and strict applica
ton TO work. 1t means that, while nc
is learning how to help make laws for
millions upon millions of people, he
must be the dime messenger for all
his district. If he is a good politician,
he does everything within his power
when his friends want it, and he does
the same thing for his enemies in the
hope of making them his friends.
Altogether, he is eight million times
buster than hen with one chicken.
Wherefore, why envy me new con-
gresham? He mas his rewards, it is
true, in the consciousness of doing
big work and a lot Of small work. In
every campaign he moves crowd upon
crowd with his gift as an orator or
his power as a dcbater. He lives in
the limeight of that prominence
which comes to everyone in public
life. But he pays fer i, anc, if he
goes to congress a poor and honest
man, he will come out of it just as
| honest as he was when he went in,
! but much poorer. There's no money
in politics.
He is mere to be pitied than envied.
If he stays on his job, he does more
work than any cher class of men
you can possibly imagine. He works
| fer his country, for his district, and
| fer himself. And, as soon as a new
congressman realizes this, the collar
1 is just setting upon mis- neck, and he
is preparing for the long pull ahead
/ CT him. If he's a heavyweight, he
/ can stay in harness a long time. If
he's a lightweight, that famous cid
| iuggernaut known as the will Of the
people will fix his political status fol
him on the next election day.
Pity the poor congressman! His eff
forts are not confined strictly to skip
ping nimbly down the fowery paths
of dalliance while red roses bend
ever to kiss him on the ear as he
flashes past. He has TO work, and al
first he does it with the full realiZ
alton thai he must learn a lot in order
10 overcome the advantages enjoyed
by those who are his seniors in ser
vice.
Work, not oratory, makes a man:
fame in the house.

Courting Room Furnished

by United Press Association
Terre Haute, Ind, Oct. ia
''courting ROOM" nursery, music room
and large rooms that are turned over
free of charge to girl employees for
dances and other evening social gath
erings, are some of the features af-
forded to those employed at a local
overall factory which has just been
built here. The management has in
stalled the recreation rooms and nur-
sery following the adoption by the
managing directors of a unique "wel-
fare program" Mothers employed at
the factory are charged five cents a
day for leaving their babies in the
nursery, which is in charge of COM
petent professional nurses and is
equipped with every facility for the
care of the smaller kiddies who cannot
be left at home with safety. Other
features of the "modei factory" are
a lunch room where nourishing hot
lunches arc sold 70 employees at very
small cost. and shower bathrooms.
The management frankly admits
that the innovation in running a fac
Tory along these lines was instituted
as much as a purely business venture
as for humiatariarn reasons. Mana
ger Frank of tie f. toy declares that
since the new building was erected,
the company has turned out greater
quantity of far better workmanship
than it ever did before in the same
