THE DEFEATED CANDIDATE

The defeated candidate is person
who paid out good money to locate the
exact number of urbane and open
mouthed liars in his bailiwick.
There is nothing that will open a
mans eyes to the possibilities Of hui
man nature better than running for
some office which is few feet out OF
his reach. The candidate Is the most
hopeful and sanguine proposition OH

1nr snuck,ss CHAMPIONS I

why not an annual corn huskinf
contest. hub to hub in corntield in
stead Of a series of claims open to dis.
pute? Somewhere in Iowa today tn
best husker in the state is yankint
ears and beating merry tattoo
against the bang boards. But where
and who"
Somebody should promote corn
husking championship contest to bt
held annually somewhere in centra
Iowa for convenience Of contestants
from all over the state. Say series
of county contests and then the grand
showdown of county and district win
ners at the big central race for the
championship. AS sporting event il
would become classic in Iowa, the
corn state.
To win such a championship would
call for skill. endurance. judgment and
dexterity equal to that required to wiz
championship in the pugilistic ring
and much more useful, it would take
as good a man as is required to win a
place on an all American team Of any
athletic sport. The man who should
win it would be an athlete Of an olym-
piad of the corn country as dignified
and as stern in its requirements as
;,,to
require practically a perfect physicsS
development and a we'll balanced mind
to bring the biggest number of bushels
to the crib in an eight hour cornhusS-
ing tournament open to all Iowa.
Years ago fifty bushel a day corn
husker was a fair hand. That was
considered good days work. But
the fifty bushel man long ago lost
prestige. The sixty bushel man came
along. Seventy-tive bushel men fol-
lowed. Then somebody, husking by
the bushel, brought in 100 bushels and
100 bushel men multiplied. Today II a
contest as suggested above were held
in good corn it is probable that the
winners pile would approximate 200
bushels Of corn. If the contest lasted
from daylight to dark It would certain
ly show some 200 bushel men.
Now that's a lot OF corn to be taken
ear by ear from the stalks. 1t means
seven tons moved less than pound at
a time. 1t means accuracy, strength
and sleight. The husker would have to
tear from the husks and place in the
wagon box approximately 10000 ears OF
corn. Talk about passing the BALI or
shooting baskets" 10000 times in one
game!
Give the athlete Of the cornfields his
chance for fame. MIX in little for
tune also. Give the winner the price
Of a seasons work on the farm-.hen
watch the husks fly and listen to the
clatter Of the ears against the side
boards like the rattle Of machine guns.

chief boast and satisfaction Is that
they have something up their sleeve
or, to put it differently, an umbrella
neatly folded and ready to open for a
rainy day Look at them in the mass
and ask yourself whether sincerely
you can call them rich in any decent
meaning of the term. Do they think
rich. do they act rich. do they smile
rich? They do not. They are not
rich. They have not even the merit Of
being openly poor. They are neither
one, thing nor the other. They are the
cautious ones. self denying and
secretly envious.
Mind, do not object to thrifty
habits. PositiveIy,I practice them.
deem them a proper item in existence.
All I say is that thrifty habits alone
never did and never will make anybody
truly rich, and that if they become the
main interest of life. their influence is
apt to be narrowing, dessicating, and
impoverishing."

DOING The TiHiiHHS.

Often in families and ne!ghborhoods
there is one who goes and does the
thing others are talking over and con-
sidering, while the others are talking
and taking time for consideration.
Speaking of the community center

ity have gone and done it" while the
rest Of US have been considering the
question. -..
There is little church and school

resident minister and everybody in the
neighborhoood seem to be particularly
al one with each other. A year ago
they formed community club. The
club includes a considerable part Of

chautauqua. The Marietta community
has the money ready to build gravel
road to Marshalltown whenever the
county will assist to get the road bed
ready; and now the community of
Marietta is-to have its Thanksgiving
dinner together at the town hail. Mari
eta community Is right. It's the right
word and Marietta fits it.
This community Thanksgiving dinner
may put forth as one Of its best
causes for thankfulness the beginning
of community interest and united effort
to make Marietta q better place to
live in. incidentally it may add to
it's causes for thankfulness the name
of the preacher who is not only min
lister of God but a township agent for
every betterment, who represents and
expresses the feeling and purpose OF
the neighborhood. 1t may return
thanks for the public and community
spirit OF the residents Of the township
and the members OF the community

Keen political observers say that
Hugh G. Wallace Of the state Of Wash
ington may come TO the political front
very prominently in the coming four
years. As member Of the democratic
national committee for his state he
carried It for Wilson. He and Colonel
Edward m House, intimate friend rot
the president, are close friends also,
ard Mr.. Wallace Is also very intimate
with president Wilson. who appreci.
ates his services very highly. Mr.
Wallace Is a modest man and has been
little known IN politics heretofore but
he took prominent part in the man
agement Of the national campaign, es-
peciallytin the northwest. He has
never been an applicant for office. Mr..
Wallace became a member of the ma
tional committee after the convention
last June.

Times-Republican knew that wet dem
ocrats had aided in nominating Hard
ing in republican primary and tried
to convince dry republicans that those
same wet democrats were going to vote
for Harding in the election. The result
proved that this prediction was cor
rect. Harding ought not to have been
elected but he was and that ends the
argument SO far as this paper is con-
cerned. No democrat except one wet
democrat has ever been elected COVER

there was probably nothing that could

have nothing for which to apologize.
