BEAN HARVESTER

A good bean harvester can be made
at home with the assistance of a
blacksmith. Two strong sled run
ners should be made out of two inch
planks, and rather strongly braced
between them, because they will be
subjected to heavy strain. At the
outside of these runners. heavy steel
knives should be fastened The
knives must be so placed that they
will run under the surface of the
ground so as to cut off the beans
to inches under the ground. Any
good blacksmith can make the knives
for such cutter. or could make the
entire cutter.

labor into the bandwagon of the fell
low who wears. without blushing, the
sobrequet Honest John. However
1t might be stated. the wage Garner
happens to be just about as good a
citizen as can be found in this coun-
try and as good citizenship carries
with II desire to observe and re-
spect the laws. they take little stock
in the Shafroth Interpretation OF the
law. The Republicans OF both Sem
ate and House stood for this bill and
they are perfectly ready to stand
or fall on their records. They are
seeking to dodge no real issue.
During the extra session OF the
legislature the story was sprung that
a recall would be pulled on Governor
Gunter. Running this story to its
source 1t would appear the talk ori-
ginated from federal office holders
who ar around the state house
working against the Governor. There
being pulled on Gunter as there is
one being pulled on Wilson. AS a
matter of fact Shafroth. ever a wiley
politician, knows to attempt such
thing would be his downfall.
The stand taken by the Republi-
can members OF the legislature in
forgetting politics and standing for
honor by supporting Democratic
governor, has caused vast amount
of favorable comment from all parts
Of the state. And no one is more ap-
of the position taken by
the Republicans than Governor Gun
ter. Like Governor Ammons, Gunter
has about come to the conclusion
that being elected chief executive OF
the state by Democrats is like pick
ing up the hot end OF poker and
it is quite likely he will be perfectly
willing to let go when the time comes
THE GOvERNORsHIP
In this connection it might be said
Dr.. Lory. president of the Agricul-
tural college is being mentioned by
the Republicans. Wherever his name
has been brought forth the sugges-
tion has been greeted with much IA
vorable comment. There is no doubt
he would be most acceptable candi-
date to the conservatives of the state.
regardless of past affiliations 1t
might also be mentioned in passing
that the present Attorney General,
one Leslie Hubbard. has his eyes on
the governors chair; yes not only
his eyes. but he is playing every
string to land the Democratic nomi-
nation at the next premaries. Leslie
is there with the publicity stunt He
can get his name in print more often
than any man in the state house and
yet. by the balance OF the state house
occupants, he is regarded as the real
it would hardly do to call him a joke
Jokes are supposed to carry some
humor. There is nothing funny about
Leslie in his own mind 1t may be this
could get along without
Wilson, Marshall, Pershing. Daniels,
Baker, Hoover and many others, but
In Hubbard's mind should he be re-
moved from the scene of action, the
world would go to smash over night.
No, Leslie is no joks. He is putting
up his fences now ana every nail he
hammers in is likely to count later.

Never before in the history of this
country has there been a greater call
for money than has been heard for
weeks. The national government
sought to secure loan of So, 000,-
900, 900, and in order to give stimulus
to subscriptions to the loan they were
called Liberty Bonds" The cam
paign for the sale of those bonds has
been waged as no other national finan-
cial project was ever pushed. The
success of the loan is important. 1t
will mean a great deal for the coun-
try. The opportunity to purchase
these bonds closes Friday and every
patriotic citizen, who possibly can,
should buy a bond. To have the issue
over subscribed will be great stim-
ulus. The fighting strength of dollars
as we'll as men is needed to win this
great world war to democracy.

% 1t is difficult to blame the farmer
for growing a little tired of the ever
lasting and ill-considered criticism to
which a certain type of the city-bred
love to treat him, >" says the Whining
ton Sunday Star. "To be scordedifor
failing to increase his acreage when
he is nearly wild getting labor to cul
tivate what he already has, must have
upon him the same effect that lectures
by her husband on systematic house
work have upon a tired wife. 1t
seems so hopeless to make the lecturer
understand! The farmer should lay
out vast fields of onions and trust to
Heaven to weed them; he should buy |
seed potatoes, no matter how costly |
they are nor how low his capital; he |
hould forget that livestock needs bran |
and middlings and should grind the
whole of the grain into -four for the
bakers; he should send to the city for
an army of little boys and girls and
they will harvest all his crops, doubt
less only too well. We have nothing
but encouragement for. child welfare
workers and exponents of high food
production-indeed, the latter bears
our salvation-but we do think that
the country ought to hold up the farm
er's hands and stop proddng him
with useless advice and reproaches.
With no conception of the sacrifices
and inconvenience, the grilling drudg
cry and fortitude under natural dis
asters which farm life demands, city
people who think of a farm as an
Eden where no one pays for fruit,
cream or eggs marvel at the farmer 8
selfshness in desiring a profit for the
necessities he raises. They forget
that the farmer has no Office hours,
that he must oppose the capricious
elements rather than an employer,
that few weeks of drouth or of cold
rains may nullify the labor of year.
Large crops and consequent over-pro-
duction always mean the poorest re-
turns for the farmer, and yet he is
working with might and main this
season TO bring about that very thing,
understanding that all the food we
can possibly raise will be only toe
scsnt to feed our starving, gallant
ally, France. Yet while nagging and
amateur advice vexes him it accom-.
plishes little, positive or negative.
On the other hand the encouragement
of the farmer by palpable help woulC
show positive results of the best sort

Believe Congressional
Delegation to Europe
Is Inopportune Now

Washington, Sept. 26-senate and
house foreign affairs committees met
in joint session today to consider al
lied parliamentary leaders, invitations
to send a congressional delegation to
Europe, in view of President Wilson s
failure to endorse the proposal. It
was thought probable that recon-
mendation would be made that ac-
ceptance of the invitation would be in
advisable at this time.
The meeting was advised by a sub
committee which visited the White
House yesterday that the President
believes such a trip inopportune. Alb
sence of so many congressional leaders
from Washington and their exposure
to submarine attack were among rea-
sons assigned. The President also
was said to feel that this nation is moi
involved so far in the var that legis-
