THRUsTs VICTORY ASIDE

It was then that Underwood had the victory in htis grasp. But desite the vote of the caucus certain of the Hitch , cock senators audibly grumbled. On that account the Alabama senator per ceived that his election might result in lasting lack of party harmony He thrust aside the crown. Taking the floor he said:
 "Gentiemeo. the caucus has invit-
 ed Senator-Eiect Glass to psrtici-
 pnte. He has the right by precedent
 and by the action of this caucus 10

 he elected if there was lack of
 party harmony in my following.

 tended"
 In this emergency, Senator Hitchcock failed to take advantage of an oppor- tunity to emulate the Underwood exam pie and do the graceful thing. He did not ascend to the height to which Un- derwood ascended, but ne did the more practical thing. The tied ballot. which immediately followed, justified him in his practical course.
 SMITH RESPONSIBLE
 After the first ballot, both sides brought pressure to bear on Smith of Georgia, for it appeared that both sides had countea on his vote. Senator Bankhead of Ala barna whispered into his ear:
 "If Underwood is elected or beaten. you will be responsible. I may be mis- taken, lut it IS my judgment that the people cf Georgia favor the election of Underwood"
 To which Smith replied.
 T am in no way committed to Hitch cock Put in the past l might have said something, leaving him under tho im- pression that would support him. will not vote at all.

AWARDED BY ERROR

Representative Galllvan, in his state- inent. declared only one enlisted man, "apparently by erior. had been awarded distinsuished service medal. while 55i officers and B civilians had been given this decorations. He quoted figures on awards made, add ing that he did not desire ito antici- pate or beruddle the distinguished Sec retary of War" in preparing the report called for under the Gallivan resolu- ton adopted by the House.
 MT. Baker said in his letter that, from the beginning of the war until General March returned from Paris to take the place. there were only three chiefs of staff-Generals Hugh l.. Scott, Tasker H. Bliss and John Bid dle--and that the latter was designated as acting chief.
 General Scott. Mir Baker said. was retired on September 22. 1917. because he had reached the legal age of re- tirement. and General Bliss was re- tired for the same reason on December 31. 1917.
 The secretary said that on septem- ber 10, 1917. before either of these of- ficers reached retirement age. he wrote General Pershing. suggesting the appointment of General March, then chief of artillery with the Amer |ican expeditionAry forces. for the place when General Bliss had retired General Pcrshing agreed. he said and General March was srven immediate and complete opportunity to study the entire situation in France

SMITH DOESN'T VOTE

The tied ballot resulted in the refusal of Senator Smith of Georgia to cast a vote Underwood, having had assur- ances which he regarded as complete, depended on the Georgia senator for victory. Hitchcock also relied on the Georgia senator. The non-partisan ob- servershad previously reached the con clusion- that the Georgia senator would relieve himself of embarrassment by declining to take sides. This prognos- tica ton was verified.
 The first struggle in the caucus oc- cured when Senator Pittman proposed that in accordance with custom the caucus invite Senator Elect Glass of Virginia to participate. Because if was known that Mir Glass would support Underwood the Hitchcock following expressed vigorous opposition. The resulting vote was 20 to IS in favor of extending the invitation, Senator Hitchcock being unable to hold hii following on question involving pre- cedent and sportsmanship, and Senator Smith of Georgia declining to vote.

 Springfield works is a large plant, coy- ering seventy acres of ground surround ed by green fields and wooded lands in the suburbs of Springfield, Ohio. Elk psrts have declared that the factory could not have been constructed more suitably for motor truck production had it been built with that end in view. It consists of long, roomy buildings, some of them four stories high, favorably ar ranged for modern, progressive assem- biy. The work shop, for instance, for building bodies, is an immense structure four stories high and 4o3 feet long. Springfield works was built in the days of thorough construction and it's founda- tions, masonry, timbers are of the type which are hard to purchase today Plans for the factory as developed for it's new use contemplate fourteen units, consist ing of twenty-cne main buildings and ten minor structures. Something over half million square feet of floor space will be the initial amount placed at the dis posal of motor truck production. Rail- road facilities are excellent. both from the standpoint of incoming materials and of the destination of the product in the hanGs of International Harvester branch houses and International motor truck dealers and distributors.

The people of America, whether they work ip factories. in offices or on the farms, are more and more reaching the point where they want immediate service on the things they buy.

OUR BREAD
AND BUTTER

INAHO supplies a world of pro-
ducts, silver, lead, copper and other
minerals and therefore the state is
more or less dependent on world con-
ditions for prosperity, in its mining
industry. Since the war mining has
weathered difficult period of high
operating costs in mines and short
orders and unsettled price conditions
for metals.
Taxation laws have tended to dis
courage the industry and labor con-
ditions have hampered successful mine
operation.
Idaho is one of the great mining
states and the success of the mining
industry has a direct bearing on the
prosperity of virtually very citizen
in the stat.
While we may not be able to
change the world conditions we can
stand for a conservative and con-
structive program which will encour-
age production and. development in
our own country, thus helping to
that extent to stabilize conditions
here where we earn our bread and
butter.
Sound labor conditions, uniform
and equal taxation laws and an alb
sence of radical and freak legisla-
tion will help build up our indust-
ries. Laboring man and capitalist
alike are interested in such pro-
gram.

WHEAT FIELDS INSPECTED
BY FIELD AGRONOMIST
(From August Farm Bureau News.)

During the three days which Mr..
G. B. Ashton, Field Agronomist, was
in the county thirty-three fields Of
wheat were visited and inspected
for purity and an attempt was made
to hold three wheat grading schools
The work began in Nounan at $500
o'clock Thursday morning and ended
Saturday night at 10000 o'clock at
Paris. During the three days some
very fine wheat was located altho
the wheat Of the county at large is
a horrid mixture.
One of the pleasing observations
made was in Bennington where the
results of community standardiza-
tion OF wheats il shown quite dis
tinctly The farmers there have got
ten together fairly well and are now
growing fewer varieties than in any
other section Of the county. Marquis
is the principal spring wheat, and
Turkey Red the principal fall wheat
grown. These wheats make a very
good combination sinct both are
hard red wheats and sell for the
same price. Because of this stand
ardization a great difference is no.
ticed in the purity of wheat in gen.
eral.
No really bad mixtures were found
In Bennington while in many places
where no attempt to standardize has
been made it was impossible to tell
what one of two, three, or even four
varieties predomimnated. The bene.
fits of this taandardization of wheat
was noticeable last year in Ben
nington when the wheat crop was
moved. Farmers generally realized
more for their wheat per bushel than
in any other community in the coun-
ty. Considerable good seed will be
available this fall at Bennington. J.
c. Astle has ten acres Of early Baart
grown as an experiment which is
looking fine and no doubt will be
certified
Bp w. r. Morgan Of Liberty has
~ acres of Turkey Red which will
test about 99.STo pure and is prac-
tically free from weeds and disease
Of any kind. This seed will be GER
titled and recommended as excep-
tional seed.
McMurray Brothers Of Liberty will
have some good Early Baart seed for
sale this fall.
Bert Orr of Sharon has 20 acres
Of very good Early Baarly which will
test over 500. A part of this will.
be certified and held for seed.
w. A. G. Keetch of st. Charles
has 20 acres of exceptional MARQUIS
which will test 1857 pure and Is
free from weeds and disease. This
seed will be certified and held.
There are other men who are rails
ing very fine wheat, but the above
mentioned men are in the Al class
and deserve special recognition. Such
farmers are an asset to any county
and should be appreciated.
The wheat crop Of the county
looks very promising. Most fields
are filling well. Some fields have a
little smut, but most farmers are
treating their seed, hence a low per-
centage. One farmer was visited
where the seed had not been treated,
In fact the farmer said that he didn't
believe in treating seed. Fully rs %
Of this crop consisted of sinking
smut. The serious part of such cases
is that the wind and threshing ma
chimes spread the smut.
-Four farmers attended the wheas
grading school at Bennington, eigh-
teen at MARLBORO, and J. w. Cook
received all of the instruction az
Paris.
