be said that Senator Harding has
managed TO align himself with the
best OF them. Out OF the variety OF
his early experience and the capacity
OF his memory he has attained that
personal touch which makes each
stranger feel at home. For the band
he recalls days when he himself once
blew upon a horn. He tells the rail-
wav workers of boyhood longings to
become all engineer and OF a day
he helped wood up on the old Al
lantic and Great Western. The school
teachers he reminds that once upon
a time he taught a country school.
For baseball players from Chicago
he recalls his own experiences at hfs'
hase. For veterans of the Spanish
war he can recall emotions in my
breast the day the boys from Marion
marched away, remember also
when the Maine was sunk For del
egates from certain native Indian

older readers will perhaps recall
the story of the Cardiff giant hoax
that took place a number OF years
ago. The idea of creating a giant
originated, according to a dispatch IN
the Boston Globe. with man named
Hull. who conhded his plans to a
friend. The efforts the man put forth
TO accomplish their task were indeed
worthy OF better cause. Michael
Foley, who quarried the stone, de-
scribes some OF the difficulties.

The giant had cost Hull and his
associates $4,000. They had sold II
probably for 100000. Thousands
were rushing to see the wonderful
curio. The prehistoric man was
yielding a revenue equal TO seven per
cent interest on three million dol

lifted in protest the voice Of Prof.
O. C. Marsh of Yale. He argued that,
although gypsum is soluble in TOUR

Foley had returned to Fort Dodge

who had foistered the scheme on the

Artificial Teeth -

just why anyone should be SO
careless as-to run the risk Of requir-
ing a set of false teeth when it can
be avoided is hard to understand.
Modern dentistry, it is true, has sue
ceeded in initiating nature surpris-
ingly well-artificial teeth are made
so that they initiate natural ones to
a remarkable degree and perform
the functions of natural teeth fairly
well. But-they are artificial Just
as a wooden leg is artificial, and
both are acceptable only as a last
resort. Make it a point to visit your
dentist occasionally. If you do this
you will not likely ever need false
teeth.-Dr. H. M. Wright, Traders

include D. D. Aitkin, president Of

This meeting will, without doubt
be one of the banner livestock
events of the year. 1t is planned to
organize a county Holstein breed
ers' organization, and steps of far

to the average farmer as a rattle
snake, and the idea is pure bunk.
The farmer knows his place and
will fill it as a good citizen, but
his power to save the nation from
hunger and worse is limited to the
industrial support of those who
must depend on him for their eX-
istence, a matter which in the pres
ent crazy industrial rush is being
overlooked.
There must be a readjustment
of labor. Ten years ago the auto
mobile, the phonograph, the PLAYER
piano and the movies would have
been classed as luxuries; today
they are called essentials. In man
ufacture, sale and maintenance
these industries now employ one
third of the labor of the country.
This labor is of the highest class,
drawn from other industries, who
in turn replenished their forces
from the farms. The farmers have
no reserves to fall back on. The
war has stopped immigration.
"The situation is just this-a
back to the farm move must start
quickly or thousands of people in
this country are going to go hum
CRY. And this move must be start
ed in the cities. The remedy for
the conditions we re facing today
lies in the hands of the big indus
tries, and also their employees. The
demand for men from the country
must cease and the continuing
strikes for higher wages and
shorter hours must stop. Other
wise the cost Of living will be a
game with the sky as the limit"

1t is time to think about seeds.
At least the u. 5. Department of
Agriculture seed distribution com
mittee thinks so and Congressman
Louis C. Cramton has secured his
supply early for the people of this
district.
The seeds arrived for the Expos
itor last week and are now ready
for distribution. If last years ex-
perience is anything to go by, they
will not last long,
So get yours at once. Waiting
will place you where the supply
y be gone and the 10 varieties
to be given away will not be grow
in~ in our garden next June.
In the vegetable packet are five
kinds. These INCLUDE beet seed,
carrot, lettuce, onion and radish.
Just reading the list will make
you hungry and you will probably
sit down and make a sketch Of
your garden and mark just where
'He neat rows will grow best.
For beauty there are the flow
ers. This list includes five, one
packet of each flower going to a
customer. Alyssum first, the sweet
smelling border plant. Then there
are dianthus, eschschalitzia, two
flowers not 90 we'll known. The
nasturtium and poppy complete
the list, both of them freely flow
ering plants that are universally
popular.

BACK TO FARM
MOVEMENT
ROLAND Morrill, Tells OF the Only
Cure for the High Cost
Epidemic

"A back to the farm" movement
is the only sure cure for the high
costs" epidemic that is disturbing
the whole country and unless 1T
begins soon on an extensive scale
foodstuffs are apt to qualify as a
luxury. Roland Morrill,, of Benton
Harbor, president of the Michl-
gan State Farm Bureau, says. Mr..
Morrill, has been gathering statls-
tics on the shortage of labor in the
rural districts of the country and
his summary is startling. Too
many farmers are being drawn
from the country by big indus
tries for the nations good, he
points out.
Mr.. Morrill, says: "The problem
of daily supply of good food IS
important to the successful oper-
alton of any or all industry. The
country cannot get by quite so
easily as suggested by a worthy
Detroit lady who in recent ladies
club meeting called to kill high
81 eggs and butter remarked
that she saw no reason to waste
time discussing the farmer as all
present bought their butter and
eggs Of the grocer.
"But attention must be focused
on the farmer. A careful canvass
of Iowa shows a shortage of farm
hands for this spring of more than
$4,000 men which means that Iowa
must drop not less than 100000
people off her feeding list. 1t ap-
pears that the ten principal mid
die western states will show a
shortage this spring of half a mil
lion farm hands, and that the coun
try-wide shortage will be between
100000 and 100000, which
means the cutting off of supplies
for between 100000 and 20,000,-
600 consumers. Of course these
figures are approximate. A good
season will not produce such dras-
tic conditions. On the other hand
adverse weather conditions will
make the situation more alarming
"And this shortage will not be
faced first by the farmer, who by
the rules of the life game must
provide for the sustenance of his
own family before providing for
others. Statistics show that the
average farmer can market only 81
per cent of his products after feeC
ing his own family, but that he
can market 80 per cent of products
produced by his employees. In 9th
er words, if there are 100000
farm owners in the country who
support at home 55,000,000 people
they can do so without employees
and can supply about 20,000,00(
others or possibly 75,000,000 in al
with food and clothing materials
Food and clothing supplies ant
materials for the other inhabitant!
Of this country must be produced
by hired labor on the farm.
Gust at present there is lot O.
fool propaganda going the round;
about farmers going on strike
That word strike is as obnoxiou!
