STATESMEN
REAL AND NEAR
BY FRED c. KELLY.

WASHINGTON. March Ig.-No
man in congress has such a thunder
GUS magaphOnic, tympanum- tearing
voice "a Representative Frank Il.
Willis, OF Ohio.
The voice OF an enraged bull. Of an
auctioneer. Of GabrieTs horn. OF a
pipe organ, OF a ten-inch cannOn-au
these would combine into a mere
whisper when compared with the
vOcative powers Of the trumpet
tOngued Willis-whO. by the way, is
expected 10 be the next republican
nominee for governor OF Ohio
Now. the question arises, how did
the man ever acquire a voice so un-
cannily loud2 Certainly IL was never
really intended that a human being
should have the power. as Willis has.
TO drown out the noise of a July
thunder storm. Where did he get it?
The answer is absurdly simple. The
Willis voice is due almost entirely to
the peculiar shape of the farm on
which he was raised.
1t was a narrow farm. but long-so
long, in fact, that when 1.-THE hogs
strayed TO the far end. they were
nearly three-quarters OF a mile from
the barns
Willis used to climb up TO the top
OF the corn crib and call in the hogs
at feeding time. AT first they could
not hear him. but that was before ne
got into practice. The time came
when the hogs could hear Willis al
most as distinctly as If ne were whis-
pering right into their ears
And he has never ceased TO talk as
if he were calling home the hogs.
They declare, out where Willis comes
from that when he proposed 20 his
wife and was doing his best to speak
in a soft. purring tone, 1t was heard
all over two precincts His ordinary
conversational voice is on par with
the blast of muskets, and his words
pop out like balls of fire from
roman candle
