GOVERNOR HARDNESS NARROW SQUEAK.

Reports this morning give Governor
Harding about 10000 plurality over
his democrat opponent Claude Porter.
1t wes' a narrow squeak for the re-
publican candidate and compared with
his overwhelming plurality in the cleo
ton two years ago will require lot of
explaining.
Without any doubt a heavy vote fell
against the governor or account Of tn"
foreign language proclamation. This
vote can by no means be classed as
disloyal or pro-German for a larger
part of it came from Bohemians. Danes
and other citizens by adoption whose
loyalty is beyond question and whose
hatred of German and things German
is deep seated and justified. The
Teutonic vote that was cast against the
governor can not be twisted into an
attitude Of pro-Germanism for those
citizens have man for man been loyal
with their money and the blood Of their
children as the records of the loans
and the casualty lists prove. Perhaps
a better explanation would be that the
procla nation was too sweeping and in
Guided allied languages along with an
enemy langua ge, that very large pro-
portion Of Iowans looked upon it as a
bid for political popularity by poll
tician and that the "explanations' lack
Of enforcement and ARRANGEMENTS
with this and that foreign language
community seemed TO corroborate this
view.
How many of the disappointed wide
openers on the liquor question voted
this year against their standard bearer
Of two years ago Is hard to estimate.
At any rate it is safe to assume that
Mr. Harding lacked much Of the demo-
Graf assistance at the polls which com :
pleted his victory Of two years back.
However most OF the republican vets
fell into line for Harding. There was

UPS AND DOWNS OF HORSE
PRICES.
TWallace's fNarmer.l

[wallace's Farmer.l
Those who have studied the charts
on cattle, milk cows and sheep prices.
which have appeared in our Issues OF
September eth, October Attn and Or.
tober 18th. will have noted that Win
the exception of sheep in recent years
there is rythmetic up-and-down
swing to these prices. measured In
terms of purchasing value.
The same is true of horse prices. as
shown by the chart published this
week. but II will be noted that the
swings cover a much longer period.
1t is because they have not realized
this that many farmers have been
surprised in recent years at the slow
ness with which horse prices have ad-
vanced. The automobile, the motor
truck and the tractor undoubtedly
had some influence on horse prices,
but possibly not as much as We mig mt
believe il we look far enough 70 see
that If takes from eleven to fifteen
years for the country as whole 10
greatly increase or decrease it's stock
OF horses.
The United States Department OF
Agriculture reports the prices oil
horses on January LIST Of each year.
For example. on January /, 1876, the
average horse in the United States
was valued at s57.2s; on January 1.
1897. at s51.5l: and on January /.
1918. at SOAPS. But the dollar was
worth a great deal more in 1876 and
in 1897 than il was in 1918, and the
selling price of the horse as expressed
in dollars did not then and does not
now correctly indicate its real value.
The thing the farmer is most in
terested in knowing is what the money
he gets for the horse will buy We
have. therefore. turned the selling
price of horses into purchasing value,
and the chart shown on this page is
based on purchasing value. On Janu-
airy !. 1876, for example. whale the
average horse was sold for s57-2e, that
amount Of money would only buy
$40 worth of other things. and that
was the true value of the horse. The
chart gives the purchasing value year
by year since'1S16. Note the eleven
year swing upward TO 1887. the nine
year. swing downward to 1896 and
then the upward swing TO 1914 Since
January |, 1914, the downward swing
has been very rapid. until on January
l. 1918. the average horse in the Unit
ed States would buy only $50 worth OF
the commodities usually bought, as
compar red with ss3 worth in 1911,
The purchasing value of the average
horse may continue small for possibly
another year. but it would seem that
the horse business should soon be thru
the worst OF the depression. and the
man who likes good. heavy horses and
is situated for raising them to gooa
advantage ought 10 be reasonably sure
of getting fair value for them during
the next ten years.
