on the average the crops in North

crops in Minnesota. In the northern

the corn and potato crops will be
about rs per cent of normal crop but
in the southern tier of counties these

down in Florida, but act and look just
like the rest of the home folk who
are attending the convention
This was all they did:
The prohibitionists need money to
run a campaign. The chairman had
called for contributions and they were
coming in slowly. A voice way back
in the hall said something about S5O,-

whats that?" the crowd shouted
Coffin's gray head popped up from
the Florida delegation.
Yes, that's what I said" he said.

The convention cheered and dele
gates toppled over their chairs to get
to Coffin. They picked him up and
carried him to the platform Mrs.
Coffin looked embarrassed but they
picked her up too and carried her up
there with him.
Coffin's contribution is believed the
largest ever made for a prohibition
campaign. His pledge started the ball
rolling and funds rolled in after that.
The collection was just like ono of
those donation parties they have for
country ministers. Those who did not
have money gave other things. One

San Antonio. Tex, July 20.-Not one
soldier that I rubbed elbows with in
all the armies of Europe in the past
two years ever worried as some of
these American soldiers along the edge
of Mexico.
These Americans I refer to are wor-
rying about their families back home;
they don't know whether their wives
and children have enough to eat.
Such a deplorable situation could not
possibly exist in any European army.
for European governments care for
the families of their soldiers.
The Mexican government does not;
we don't. I've talked with hundreds
of soldiers of six different armies in
Europe. 1 talked today with my first
soldier of the new American armies.
talked to Europeans in artillery pits,
trenches and dugouts. but talked
with the American in a jitney going
from San Antonio to the army post.
Oversight Costs Unhappiness.
If the Germans knew Britishers
were treating the families of their
soldiers as we are treating ours, or
vice versa, the fact would be blazoned
worldwide as an indication of govern
mental cruelty by the enemy. It's not
cruelty on our part, only oversight,
and the lesson we've learned has cost
unhappiness and embarrassment in
many American homes.

MOHLER PRODUCES ARGUMENT
Farms i'm Other States More
Heavily MOrtgaged.
Secretary of Agriculture Sees
Opportunity for Topeka.

Further arguments for locating the
Farm Loan bank in Topeka were ad-
vanced this morning by ]. C. Mohler,
secretary of the state board of agri-
culture, to members of the Topeka
Commercial club. Mr.. Mohler pre-
sented figures showing that The farms
of Iowa and Missouri are more fully
developed and more heavily mortgaged
than those in Nebraska, Oklahoma,
Kansas and Arkansas, other states to
be included in this district, it is be-
lieved.
In fact, the farm mortgages in Iowa
exceed those of any state in the union.
Missouri is next in the number of
mortgages in the contemplated land
loan district for this section. Then
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and Ar
kansas.
This makes one of the best argu-
ments 1 can conceive for locating the
bank in Topeka said Mr.. Mohler.
I'm Missouri and Iowa, the farm land
has been purchased in small farms
that are already mortgaged by the
Arkansas and Kansas, they have hard
ly begun to do intensive farming, the
ultimate method of agriculture to be
employed ir this country.

young men through the mortgage sys-

would one find more ideal location
than Topeka for the establishment of

in farm mortgages? 1t is almost in

adopt a platform and adjourn to-
night one day in advance of schedule
time. To check the steam roller, Will

of a mass of suggestions placed before
them by enthusiasts on almost every

fairly well worked out its principal
planks.
The Susan B. Anthony suffrage
amendment, an eight hour day for

principal clauses decided upon to aid
