could apply himself to no better adj
vantage during the summer vacation
than to go back to the farm and COM
mune with nature, getting close to
mother earth again.
Hon. Rube McFerren, too, was far
mer boy. He knows how to make hay
while the sun shines and could be
relied upon to market the hogs and
cattle when prices were right. BY all
means, RUDE, take cue from Lawyer
Weeks and show the world that you
are just as good a man as you ever
were.
Milton ]. Mattice, another local
luminary of Blackstone, never had
any experience on farm, but he has
farmed the farmers so long that he
ought to know something about
agriculture. Besides, he owns one of
the fine half sections Of land in the
vicinity of Williams, where crops
never fall" and where the husband
man is always rewarded for his toll.
Milt has had so much experience run
ming his big six cylinder that he
would take readily to the operation
of a farm tractor After the primary
is over and Hon. Frank P. Woods
has bagged the coon for another
term Milt can spare the time to as
sist month or two on the farm.
Here's hoping that he may be bene-
fitted by the outing.
R. G. Remley is one of our rising
young attorneys who is at the i'm
questionable age. Whether or not he
ever had any experience on the farm
the Freeman-Journal doesn't know,
but he is not too old to learn. If the
local bar decides to offer it's services
in the field of agriculture none would
deport himself better than this enthus-
iastic and energetic disciple of Black
stone.
o. J. Henderson passed the days of
his youth on a farm in Scott town.
ship, "the best thirty-six sections of
land anywhere in the United States"
according to government reports. 1t
would hardly be expected that Mr..
H. would have chosen any other
spot, as he exhibited the traits of the
successful lawyer at very tender
age. Ole is not blessed with husky
stature but what he lacks in muscle
and meat would be more than COM
pensated for in enthusiasm and de-
termination to succeed.
Cady Chase Jr. is now doing his
bit. The denizens of west Bank street
say he has the finest garden in town
and can WELD hoe and rake in a
fashion that is the envy of all the boy
scouts OF the city. True, some of his
enemies and others jealous of his
prowess declare his wife does most
of the work in the garden and that
Cady confines his efforts to telling
her just how to do it while he sits
in the shade carressing his trusty
meerschaum. But knowing the indus
trious nature of his sire, and realizing
that Cady is a chip off the old block,
the Freeman-Journal will never be-
lieve any of these reports.
County Attorney Burnstedt would
hardly do for an' agriculturist but he
had experience as coal miner in
the days of youth and might be able
to serve his country in that capacity
while his brethren of the local
bar are creating CONSERVATION among
the farmers of the county.
Wesley Martin, Senator Chase,
Judge Kamrar, Geo. F. Tucker, w. J..
Covil, J. w. Lee and J. NJ. Blake, we
know, will gladly look after the
legal interests of the county, that
the young enthusiastic blood of the
profession may have the opportunity
to assist Uncle Sam in the herculean
task to feed himself and all his allies.
The printers of the county would
regret to see the lawyers carry off
all the honors in this commendable
program of real service to the country
and the Freeman-Journal is not going
to silently acquiesce in such ignominy
It hereby tenders the service Of
Claude Campbell of the Jewell Re-
cord, the Petersons of the Stratford
Courier, John Roland of the Williams
Enterprise and Joy Hanson of the
Ellsworth News. Webster City, of
course, is willing to do it's share in
the sacrifice, and the time and talent
