W. J. BRYAN ON cox
SEVEN YEARS AGO

William Jennings Bryan, in an ad-
dress before the Pennsylvania Legis-
lature on Many 10, 1913. held up as an
example of success in state admins
tration the present Democratic candi-
date for President. He said:
Look at Gov. Cox of Ohio. There
is reformer who asked thirty-six re-
forms and got thirty-six."

oIIdPt USIOIt CIIt IEITIOVdI, :
For the past three months or more
workmen have been kept constantly
employed in remodeling and improv-
ing these quarters, and to say that
everything is now in frst-class con-
dition but slightly expresses the sur
passing elegance of these quarters.
No expense has been spared in bring
ing about the best possible effect, and
while the cost of such improvement
has been great, the management of
the Bank of Pennington feels that it
has been a splendid investment.
1t is splendid corner piece, of
which the people of this city should
be justly proud. Further description
is useless. The new quarters must be
seen in order to be fully appreciated.

JIM REED

Senator James A. Reed, dscredited
and disowned by the Democratic con-
ventions of both his own State and
the Nation, has come out with set
of catch questions to the candidates
for the Democratic nomination for
United States Senator-and shades Of
all the worlds disembodied autocrats,
to the Republican candidates as well.
His questions are framed around his
own perverted Imagination Of what
the League of Nations means and the
situations which In his brain storms,
he sees arising under it's workings
situations that would not arse in a
thousand years, or If they should,
which the United States is amply able
to meet and dispose Of in its custo-
mary way of meeting, and disposing
of ugly emergencies. The American
people are neither dolts nor infants
in diplomacy or self-defense to be
frightened at nightmare of a dis
torted brain. But like an old sore
that nothing short Of the surgeons
knife will remove, Jim Reed persists
in fostering, suppurating in the Demo-
cratic body polite in his frantic eff
forts to poison the healthy blood that
keeps the party alive. =
Discredited and disowned at home
and abroad by the regular and recog-
nized organization Of the party, but
adhering like barnacle to a ship,
what monumental cheek and pre-
sumption the man displays! Scouting
the Democratic platform on the
League of Nations, and the Lord only
knows what other principles and poll
cies set forth in that sound and we'll
considered democratic expression, OF
its position, by what authority does
he presume or dare question and in
terrogate candidates approving and
standing upon that platform? We
all know where he stands. Hasn't
the country grown tired, disguested
and sick hearing and reading his per-
verted sophistries, insane imaginings,
biting sarcasm, self-laudation and
verbal pyrotechnics ending with hiss
and splitter like sky rocket in the
darkness of night?
Egotism, intolerance, self-suffi-
iency, arrogance, splotch his character
like the spots on peopard, and au-
tocracy glistens like tinsel star in
his forehead. He who dares rail at
President Wilson for adhering to his
carefully considered and ripened opin-
ions and judgement, is SO bent, on
forcing his own brain storm on the
public mind that he would destroy
both his party and himself for the

GIGANTIC CROP YIELD
IN MONTANA IN 1919

LIN MIN LANA I'm lClC
The crops of Montana in 1919 from
a total of 1928, 900 acres yielded $780,
100000 according to figures received
by C. D. Greenfield, commissioner of
agriculture and publicity from the
federal department of agriculture.
The state produced 1900 bushels
of pears, valued at SO per bushel, last
year. The total apple crop was 1884,
900 bushels. The report shows a Won
derful increase in corn acreage for the
state since 1900. In that year there
were 1888 acres in corn, in 1905 it
was increased to 5000 acres, and in
1915 there were 10000 acres in corn.
The year 1919 broke all records by far
with 128,0O0 acres growing corn,
which brought in money $2,S51, 900.
Wheat lead all other products in
amount produced and acreage seeded,
There were 2,221,0 900 acres of wheat
planted alone, which yielded $25,214,-
900. Hay was second with 752 ,0OC
acres, worth $40, 021. 90.

Of Americas mighty war forces of
more than four and a half million of
men, 1,2OO,0 900 it is estimated, came
from farms. Records in the Bureau
of War Risk insurance in Washington,
D. c., indicate that these farm-bred or
farm-raised boys carried government
life insurance amounting to over ten
billion dollars.
During the earlier rehabilitation.
it was so difficult to keep track of the
discharged service men that it seemed
as though a very large proportion OF
them did not return to their former
addresses or homes. So many of the
service men who had come from the
farms seemed to- be listening to the
call of the city that it was feared
more than one-half of them were moi
going back to the farms. Later the
tide of migration set in toward the
country, and now it is believed thai
the loss in man-power to the farms as
the result of former service men set

HARD UP

You're not hard up when your purse
is fiat
And your trousers flayed like an old
doormat;
You're not hard up when your bills
fall due
And you haven't a dollar to see you
through;
You're not hard up till you see the day
That you haven't a cheerful word to
say.
You're not hard up when your coin is
gone
And you whistle a tune as you journey
on;
You may walk the streets while 9th
ers ride
And your pockets have naught but
your hands inside;
That's not being broke you may de.
pend,
For you're not hard up while you have
a friend.
But you are hard up and in sorry way
If you haven't a cheerful word to say
If nothing On earth appeals to you
And you can't see charm in the skies
of blue,
And you are hard up if you've reached
the end,
And can say in truth that you hav,
no friend.
In dollars and cents don't count YOU
wealth,
But sum it up in good friends ant
health,
In the little tots that call you "dad,"
Who, when you're coming, are, Oh, s.
glad.
If you haven't a soul to love or care,
You are hard up, though a millionaire

NEW YORK STATE LEADS
In WAR BRIDES

New York leads all states in the
Union in the number of war brides
who have accompanied American sol.
diers from overseas to make theil
home in the state. These BAT wal
brides come from sixteen nations and
include n German bride, one Portu-
gese, n Bavarian, one Roumanian,
one Polish, n Dutch, two Spanish,
three Italian, two Swiss, six WEIGH,
thirteen Scotch, twenty1one Irish, six
ty-four English, four from Luem-
bourg, four Belgian, and 222 French
women.
Altogether 2,2S9 foreign born brides
have embarked from French and Eng
fish ports during the year, under the
direction of the American Y. w. C. A.
which organization was in charge of
the housing of the brides by request
of the army, and also assisted in en-
barking them, in Strengthening out
passports and marriage certificates
and who placed workers on each trans
port carrying brides in order to make
the voyage as pleasant as possible.
These brides camps" the first
such known in the history of the world
were established by the Y. W. C. A. in
Bordeaux, St. Nazaire, Brest and Liv-
erpool. Of this entire number of
brides, 1913 did not speak English at
all, while 435 spoke it slightly and 900
spoke it quite fuently.
Approximately one half of the total
number of brides have an occupation
and have been self-supporting, that is
LII of them. One hunderd and eighty
nine Of the husbands had no occupa-
lions. The vast majority of these
brides were between the ages of TWEEN
ty and thirty-fve years, the average
being about twenty-five of age. Only
PA of them were older than their hus-
bands while $50 of the entire number
were under twenty years of age. There
were thirty-two brides over thirty-five
years of age.
French brides predominated. One
thousand five hunderd and five French
brides were registered in Y. W. G. A..
camps at Brest, St. Nazaire, and Bor-
deaux. They were going to all parts
of the United States, their destina-
tions, as recorded, totalled fifty-seven
states. This includes Canada, Alaska,
Porto Rico and the District of Col
umbia as we'll as the United States.
The destinations of 2214 of the entire
number of brides was known by Y. w.
C.. A. workers in one "brides' camp"
before they sailed.
In addition to the 1906 French
brides there were 425 English brides,
40 Belgian, AT Irish, 46 Scotch, SO
Luxembourg, 81 Welsh, 26 Italian, p
Russian, 5 Alsatian, 3 German, 8
Spanish, 8 Polish, 2 Roumanian, l Ba-
~varian, 1 Armenian, l Portuguese, l
Dutch and 1 Greek bride.

one. In this spirit of mind she hurls
mahogany chairs at the Guthrie but
lers, monkey wrenches at her two
chauffers, rye bread at the walters and
lip sticks at her maids.
From the foregoing, the character
of Amy Burke changes to that of a
tenement girl who can speak with a
nasal slang, cock her hat on the right
side of her head and shimmie like a
watery portion of gelatine.
In the tenements while her father is
writing a book on sociology Amy is a
constant winner in crap games but a
heavy loser at other things. Among
things she losses are her snobbishness,
her silk lingerie, her bad-temper, and
her heart.

lum," by far the best of Miss Pick
ford's great screen successes.

DON'T PLANT INFERIOR SEED

With all kinds of seed as high as
they are, the use of inferior seed is a
most expensive form of carelessness.
Careful testing of practically all
kinds of seed has long been urged by
the United States department of ag-
riculture, and special stress is being
placed on it, now that prices are SO
unusually high. In the matter of
clover seed, for instance, attention is
called to the fact that comparatively
cheap seed may be actually higher
than those that cost more money, be-
cause of low termination. The depart
ment, at various times, has issued ad-
vice in bulletins and other forms of
the best method of testing seeds.
This information may be had free on
application.

Labor unions in Colorado are to be
congratulated in eNpelling the vice
president of their state federation be-
cause he carried a Red card. Most of
the agitation in labor circles the past
year has been brought about, not be-
cause of insufficient wages, poor work
ing conditions or long hours, but by
the deliberate propaganda of these I.
w. w. agitators who have injected
themselves into labor circles as lead
ers. AS soon as the unions spew
them out there will be less friction be-
tween capital and labor.
