The council urged the growing at leas.
CT two acres Of winter wheat to the
pillow. With 100000 plows, the low es-
innate of ten bushels + the acre, this
would mean 100000 bushels, or
enough to feed the entire state. In
the best wheat counties it is suggested
that five acres to the pillow be planted,
so as to bring up the average. But
every county in the state should put in
at least two acres to the pillow and
make enough to feed itself at home, or
if possible, a little more.

Miss Rankin Encounters
Difficulty in Seeking
Favors of Democrats

Politics is politics and Miss
Jeanette Rankin, of Montana. who
is an apt pupil. got another lesson
in the game yesterday.
All of the officials at the Capitol
are fond of Miss Rankin, the only
woman member of Congress. She
has a husinesslike way of present
ing her claims. but she is a Re-
publican.
Republicans get no jobs in
Democratic Congress. Therefore
Miss Rankin found no encourage
ment when she tried to have Miss
Cecilia Martin, a 14-year-old high
school girl. appointed the first girl
page in Congress.
What Joe Slnnott told Miss
Rankin is not revealed. However.
Mr.. Sinnott has hard work finding
jobs for deserving Democrats and
when a Republican appears for
patronage ne is hard of hearing
and like Bob Gordon the only thing
that is plain is a Democratic plat
form.
Hence Miss Rankin will instruct
the little girl when she calls again
TO make her appeal to a DEM
ocratic member of the House
providing she still desires to be
page.
