Samuel Smiley's Sayings.

Question. What do think of Sem
ator Harding's proposed plan to make
the Senate part of the Presidency?
Answer. Well, sir, as Big Business
long ago syndicated the G. o. P, it
would only be consistent for the slit
tie group of serious thinkers" in the
Senate to syndicate the Presidency.
With a business man like Harding
and campaign fund like Ponzi's, it
naturally follows that we would have
to have an administration along the
line of Big Business, something like
this:
The Cabinet would still be an ad-
visory body, with the "dominant
group in the Senate" as the Operat-
ing Company and Wall Street as the
Holding Company. According to
Governor Cox, it would be sort of
"underhold-ing" company.
lido not quite understand, though,
why Harding wants to denote Cool
idge from President to a mere
Cabinet member-but, for that mat
ter, don't understand anything else
he wants to do.
Looking into the large end of
horn, can see the operating COM
pany in session:
Assistant President: Boies Penrose.
Ventriloquist (seated at the head of
the table, with Warren on one knee
and Will Hays on the other.
Chairman of the Board of Direc-
tors: Henry Cabot Lodge (hero of
s'Uncle Hank of P'izen Hollow a
companion story to "Uncle Sam of
Freedom RIDGE" distilling Wilson
toxins.)
Fellow Members: Senator Hiram
johnson, "Hell- Roaring Hi" the Fire
King; eats live Goals and spits flames.
Senator William E. Borah, the
modern Peter, who says he would
deny the Lord if He ask him to ratify
the League of Nations covenant for
world peace.
Senator Reed Smoot, from one OF
the two States carried by the reac-
tionaries in 1912 Inventor of the new
political "cat-step.")
Senator Doctor George II. Moses
(the great cloakroom specialist on
LESSONS and rumors.)
Chairwarmers: Senators Wads-
worth, Brandegee, Watson and Nc
Cormick.
Financial Expert: Senator Tru-
man H. Newberry, the present SEN
ate majority" (subject to appeal.)
Messenger: Colonel George Har-
vey, the star of "Up in Georges
Room" (Col. Harvey once gave
support to Wilson and "gave till il
hurt.")
Historian: William Barnes, Jr.
author of "Republicanism in 192o," OF
"How Beat the National Commit
tee To It."
The title of the Government logi
cally would be: "The United State

@, Will they lose out on it, do
think?
A.. don't see how they could win
but Big Business couldn't lose. Al
it would have to do would be to fin
out what Warren thought he wa
thinking and sell him "short."

Can Increase the Yield Of Missouri's Corn
Fields.

Missouri's corn production will be
increased to 10 per cent without in
creased acreage when the farmers
take advantage of what the Univers-
ity of Missouri College of Agriculture
has demonstrated. The best pro-
ducing variety of corn in one region
of the state is not necessarily the
best producing variety in all regions.
The best variety to grow has been
determined thru experiments over a
period of years for the black prairies
of northwest Missouri, the level prair-
les of northeast Missouri, the gray
prairies of southwest Missouri, the
bottom lands of both north and sonth
Missouri, the lowlsnds OF southeast
Missouri, and the Ozark center and
border. A difference in yield as great
as 40 bushels an acre has been found
among varieties grown on the same
piece of land.
Missouri annually grows seven or
more million acres of corn. If plant
ed to the best producing varieties the
results from these tests in one year
alone would return manifold to the
state the total appropriations for soils
and crop experiments over the whole
period of investigation. Descriptions
of the best varieties for each region
have been published and distribute d
as Bulletins 81 and 143 Of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station, Colum-

NUMBER IN HOUSE
MAY BE INCREASED
Proposition of Increasing the Number
of Representatives Before Congress.

Proposition of Increasing the Number
of Representatives Before Congress.
Washington, Sept. 1S.-Congress Will
be confronted at once with the duty
of increasing the basis of representa-
tiontion in the House of Representa-
tiyes or Of increasing the number Of
representatives as the result OF this
census. The present law provides for
one representative for each 2l1,S77 CT
population and an additional repre-
sentative for each major fraction OF
that number. There are 435 members
of the House of Representatives, and
as It works out each member repre-
sents an average of 210,504 people.
Estimates Of the census bureau
place the population Of the country
at about 1O5,Gno.c0O. Consequently,
ifEhe present ratio Is maintained the
membership of the House will be in
creased to about 800, and therefore
il will remain for Congress to deter
nine whether 'hrs increase shall pre-.
va' or whether the ratio shall re in
creased so that the number Of rep
resentatives will remain as at present
or to be reduced.
1t has been urged that the House
of Representatives already has become
too unwieldly to permit Of the Gtfi-
cient transaction of the public bust
ness. Following the 1910 census its
membership was increased from 393
to 435, which necessitatcd the remov-
al Of the desks from the chamber anG
the substitution Of benches SO that al
might be accommodated comfortably
1T now requires about 40 minutes fol
call of the roll Of the House, ant

is demanded an hour is used in TAX
