AGRICULTURE
The farmer is the backbone Of
the nation. National greatness
and economic independence de-
mand a population distributed
between industry and the farm
and sharing of equal terms the
prosperity which is wholly de-
pendent on the efforts Of both.
Neither can prosper at the ex-
pense Of the other without invit-
ing joint disaster.
The crux of the present agri-
cultural condition hes in prices,
labor and credit.
The Republican party believes
that this condition can be i'm
proved by present actual and
adequate farm representation in

trial was No. 32s. David low ct ais.
VS.. Walter G. Reynolds, Harvey D.
Eaton for plaintiff and Carroll n.
Perkins for defendant
This matter arose out OF an auc-
ton sale of Percheron horses at the
wateryille fair grounds last Septem-
Der. The defendant bid eff the stall
lion Japon for $3.50. but cid not pay
for him. as claimed by plaintiff The
issue in the case was whether or
not the defendant actually accepted
the horse.
The plaintiff sued for the expenses
of keeping and feeding the horse
from the date of the sale, and also
the difference in value of the horse
at time Of sale and his present value
The defendant testified that he bid
the horse in, and said he would pay
for him and take him. but that upon
going over the next morning he
heard things about the horse tina,
made him change his mind. and he
did not take the horse.
The defendants contention is that
he is not liable in this action as no
written memorandum was made BY
the auctioneer at the time of sale.
and that he never accepted the horse.

VOLSTEAD FACES
CERTAIN DEFEAT
Republican Dissension and Divi-

cratic Victory.
Special Dispatch to Every Evening

Special Dispatch to Every Evening
Washington, Aug. 16.-Representa-
tive Andrew J. Volstead, of Minnesota
the man who. as chairman of the House
judiciary committee, wrote the vicious
Prohibition Enforcement bill appears
TO be certain Of being defeated by a De
mocrat in November it was learned to-
dav at the Democratic National Con-
gressional Committee headquarters.
Volstead was defeated for the nomina-
tion for Congress in the Republican prl-
MARI in the Seventh Minnesota district
bv Rev Mr. kvale. The decision of the
voters was set aside few days later,
however, by the courts on the ground
that kyales charge made during the
campaign that Nolstead was an aetheist
constituted a violation OF the Corrupt
Practices act. Kvale took the decision to
the Supreme Court of the State on appeal,
and decision has not yet been rendered.
Meanwhile, the election officials, IN
some manner or another, declared Miss
Volstead, daughter of the Congressman,
to be the regular NO minee.
Word has reached the Democratic
National Congressional Committee that
Volstead and Kvalc have both declared
they will run as independent if the other
is declared by the court to be the Re-
publican nominee.
This. it is said, will make the race
easy for James Mitchell of Br0oton,
who is running on the Democratic ticket
Mitchell, who is man of high standing
plans to go into the campaign in favor of
a material modification Of the Volstead
Prohibition Enforcement law. With a
wet platform and Kvale and Volstead
and possibly Miss Eolstead cutting
each others throats for the Republican
vote, the election of Mitchell on the
Democratic ticket appears almost certain.

STORING VEGETABLES

Every year many farmers store
vegetables in the ground. A new
method Of handling this is to take an
ordinary barrel, lay IL down on its
sides. leave one end open. This bar
rel can be covered with alternating
LAYERS Of straw and dirt so as TO pre-
vent the vegetables from freezing.
The barrel can then be filled with
vegetables and all the dirt and straw
will be kept away from them through
out the season. Another point in
favor Of this barrel system is that
several different kinds Of vegetables
can be placed in the same barrel.
After the barrel has been filled the
head. which should be in one piece.
is properly fastened and the barrel
covered with dirt. When it becomes
necessary to open this pit, remove
the dirt from the head and take out
what vegetables needed. Place the
head back in position and put the
dirt back in place. The vegetables
will keen well in this manner and
they will be free from dirt and also
IL is not necessary to destroy the en-
tire pit in order to remove part Of
the vegetables.
