nine-billiOn-dollar crop Of the Ameri-
can farmer. But the interests of the
farmer have not always been so promi-
nently and %favorably considered by
Congress as they have during the past
three years. The record of Democrat
ic claims for farmer support is a rec
ord of accomplishment. 1t reads like
this in the passage of laws and admin
iStrative acts:
What Has Been Done for the Farmer.
CURRENCY REFORM: The Fed
eral Reserve Act under which the
farmers paper is given special con-
sideration, including permission to
National Banks to loan on the security
of farm lands.
RURAL CREDITS: An epoch-mak-
ing Legislative measure which will re-
lieve the farmer of the incubus of the
SfrOrt-time loan at eXtOrtiOnate inter-
est. This least alone, when in
full force, will saw the farmers of the
United States one hundred and fifty
million dollars annually in interest
charges.
GOOD ROADS: S~eventy-five mil
lion dollars made available for the
development of roads from the farm
to the market, under conditions which
will prevent wasteful use of the money.
AGRICULTURAL EXTENSION:
The passage of the Smith-Lever Act
brings to every American farm,
through the joint cooperation of the
Federal Government and the States.
the help Of these agencies in solving
the business problems of the farmer,
COTTON FUTURES ACT: Deals
a death blow to gambling in this great
staple.
UNITED STATES WAREHOUSE
ACT: Enables Owners of stored prod
uctS to obtain loans on warehouse
receipts more nearly apprOXimating the
full value of the product.
GRAIN STANDARDS: A law en-
acted last August authorizes the Sec
rotary of Agriculture to establish Off
cial grain standards. This law is
working. The farmer who has been
robbed through juggIed grain grades
for years will appreciate its value.
CROP MOVING: The surplus funds
of the Treasury Department have been
placed directly in the banks of the
South and West to aid in moving crops
during the customary season of money
shortage.
INTEREST ON GOVERNMENT De
POSITS: Banks holding government
deposits are now required to pay two
per cent interest. This cuts off a big
graft which formerly came from the
free use of huge sums of the peoples
money. More than one million dollars
revenue annually is now derived from
this source alone.
IMPROVED MARKETING SYS.
TEN: The farmer has for years felt
the power of the market combine,
with it's waste, ~inetiiciency and dis
honesty. The office of Markets and
the Rural Organization Service, es-
tablished in the Department of Agri-
culture during this administration are
working on scientific lines to promote
better marketing and cooperative bust
ness organization among farmers.
These heneticient measures, with
many others, show why the farmer
is pretty we'll satisfied with the VII

Administration.
MONEY FOR CROP MOVING

Good Roads, Grain Standards

BY FRANK G.. ODELL.
Editor Of the Nebraska Farm Magazine

Do you know that your post office
is now an employment bureau? That
is one of the new things Uncle Sam
has started during the present Adj
ministratiOn. Secretary Wilson of the
Department of Labor has tackled the
task of bringing the jobless man and
the manlesS job together, and now
every post office is an agency Of the
United States employment service.
The postmaster is equipped with
blanks for listing applications for la
Dor or for employment and is instruct
ed to help get the worker and the job
in contact.
While this might appear to be prin-
cipally in the interest of the worker,
it is really one of the numerous far
reaching things started for the bene-
fit Of the farmer by the A%dministra-
ton Of President Wilson. The inCreas-
ing scarcity of farm labor has become
a problem to the farmer, especially
in the wheat-grOwing and f~ruit-grOw-
ing sections. This labor, which is of a
seasonal character. necessarily must
be performed largely by itinerant
workers. Some agency which will
meet this demand and relieve the Ia
bOrer of the graft of employment
agencies is necessary. Uncle Sam has
started it.
A single illustration will show how
the system works; in the Willamette
Valley of Oregon thousands of tenn
pOrary workers are needed in hop
picking time. On August 20 the Ore
gOn Journal of Portland printed a
news article about the new govern
ment employment agency, stating
that six hundred families could OBJ
tain immediate employment in the
hop yards by applying at the Portland
division Of the Federal employment
service.
This is another item added to the
mass of accommodating evidence which
shows that the Wilson Administration
has tried to give both labor and the
farmer a square deaI. For the first
time in history, this Administration
has placed the needs Of rural districts
squarely before Congress as Of equal
Importance with the interests Of finan-
ciai centers.
And why not? Financial centers
would not amount to much without the

cialists, the vote may be pretty we'll
split on the Senatorial fight. John
Burke expects to get considerable sup
port from the League in the fall cleo
ton. The democrats may vote with
the republicans in the primaries, and if
they play politics in the ordinary way,
they will single out the weakest can
didate and try to nominate him. Po-
litical sages declare that with Nestos
in the race, McCumber's chances are
weakened and that the real fight will
be between Nestos and Hanna. The
governor has strong political ma
chine and this gives him wonderful
advantage. On the other hand, Mes
tos is younger man and is expected
to wage a very strenuous campaign.
Being Scandinavian does not lessen
his chances for success. 1t is little
early to make any predictions but
from present appearances the fight is
going to be the prettiest ever seen in
North Dakota.

HELP GOOD FELLOWS.

Some people are lodge crazy and
join everything in sight. They are
called "joiners." Others are pessimis-
tic and can see no good in any lodge.
But there is much good to be derived
from membership in any Of the legit-
innate lodges that flourish everywhere,
provided the lodge habit is not carried
to excess. 1t creates a spirit Of COM
radeship among the members that is
seldom found elsewhere. If a men,
Der is in distress or difficulty, his
lodge promptly comes to his relief and
tides him over the rough places and
into smooth waters. If he is sick,
they cheer him with their presence,
and watch at his bedside, and see that
his family does not suffer during his
incapacity. And in many other ways
they are a distinct benefit one to an
other.
The lodge is the symbol of the
brotherhood of man, and its tenets are
founded upon the Bible and advocate
the elevation of the human race. The
fellow who Identifies himself with
some good lodge and lives up to it's
teachings will be a better man and
citizen for the few hours he devotes
to its meetings..
