distinct entity in the scheme of
politics.
There is indignation and not a
little derision reflected in the COM
ments of these women regarding
the altruistic pretentions of Mr..
Harding and leaders of his party
during the campaign. One Wo-
man with whom the writer talked
the other night predicted that "the
best we'll probably get is some
little, obscure Office that no ward
heeler will take and which will
not carry any influence. Harding
was never favorable to woman
suffrage and leaders Of his party
share in his prejudices. Z
The colored brother apparently
is not faring any better at the
hands Of the Harding administra-
tion than the newest voters. So
far few colored men or women
have been appointed to any jobs.
Colored leaders in southern states,
particularly Tennessee and Okla
homa, have been besiegingg the
White House and the various de-
partments demanding the same re-
cognition already given their
white associates.

WHAT is ADVERTISING?


Advertising" says the expert,
"is telling the truth"
Good for you, Mr. Expert; that's
exactly what all good advertising
is plain statement of fact. Mr..
Merchant, what have you to tell
the citizens of this county? What
goods are you selling; what is
their quality and price? Tell the
people these facts; tell them in
the best possible way-the news
paper. Any advertising man
any advertising expert will tell
you that there is no medium so
valuable for telling your story as
your towns newspaper.
Consistent, constant, truthful
advertising is as sure of results a
human persistency is of attain
ment. You can't miss it if you
plug on, and back up your adver-
tising with the goods. To adver-
tise something you havn't got OF
to make false statement will nc
more. bring results than going to
church will get man to heaven.

such organizations in the conduct
of the government. The appoint
ment of j. j Davis as secretary
of labor is asserted by these la
Dor leaders to have given greater
satisfaction to the employer class
es than the organized trades un-
ionists.
Some professional politicians,
who have already provided unmis-
taxable evidence of their power do
not conceal their sympathies with
the employer classes. It is the
fundamental conviction of these
political leaders that Samuel Com
pers and other important figures
in the American Federation of La
Dor enjoyed a free hand in dicta-
ting the policies Of the Wilson ad-
ministration.
The advocacy Of the democratic
cause by Mr.. Gompers and his ad-
visers affronted republican chief
tains. Hence there is probably a
good deal Of justification for the
widespread existing impression
that Gompers will not be accorded
the consideration he is alleged to
have.enjoyed for, eight years. La
Dor leaders generally express the
opinion that the enemies of or
ganized labor will be given q free
hand in reviving the open shop
Ipol.cy and in accomplishing the de-
struction Of organized labor.

HARDING HAUNTED BY CAM
PAIGN PROMISES.

A special from Washington says
that in consolidating the fruits Of
victory officials and supporters Of
the Harding administration ad-
nit it is confronted with very
grave problems less susceptible Of
satisfactory solution than the
splitting up of patronage. The
position Of the administration at
the end of two weeks is conceded
to be not entirely dissimilar to
that of Great Britain and France
in trying to make Germany come
across and pay the fine imposed
upon it by an outraged world.
The partition of jobs is al COM
paratively easy job. Redeeming
the pledges made by the republ-
can presidential and other candi-
dates to the people who are inter-
ested in policies rather than pat
ronage is quite another thing.
A pronounced note of pessimism
regarding the outlook for provid-
ing economic and industrial relief
for the country is the outstanding
feature of all discussions be-
tween officials of the administra-
tion and newspaper correspond
ents, with whom the officials con-
fer two or three times a week.
There is lacking both in the
attitude and utterances of the Of
ficials the marked degree of opti-
mism reflected in the confident
prophecies of both candidates and
campaign orators that repubii-
can victory woul carry instant re-
wal and Improvement of business
conditions.
There is no question but that
Mr.. Harding and the "best minds
of the party are applying them
selves earnestly to the task Of find
ing a way out Of the perplexing
maze Of complications that 50 far
have defied solution. BY the pro-
cess of elimination the president

~, advisers have been forced 70

may be devised for heading off do
nestle conditions that presage
far-reaching consequences which
will jeopardize both the govern
ment and the business interests of
the country of every kind.
The mos tacute problems is now
conceded to be that of providing
the country with revenue enough
to meet it's obligations. So far
none has been forthcoming, though
there is scarcely any doubt that
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon
will ultimately provide a program
which will at least temporarily

will be is wholly problematical.

iod of a COW. This record is all the
more striking when set beside the
average $50, 200, or even 300, pound
COWS.
Another Wisconsin farmer might
also be mentioned at this time, Otto
E. Erdman Of Juneau who has just
completed yearly record of 1885
pounds of butter from an 8-year-old
pure-bred Wisconsin Holstein.
Both these cows are on Wisconsin
farms. They are fed under usual con-
ditions, the tests are fully supervised
and the records are genuine.
Probably 80 out of every 100 Wis
consin farmers have boarders among
their herds if they are not testing
Yet many farmers still keep the same
old cows year after year, with an
occasional elimination of single ami
mails, which are not doing as well
as formerly" Cows are kept and sold
by chance, guess work, when weighing
and testing of milk even for short
periods would very clearly reveal
which cows are boarders and which
are profitable.
Just now, when farm prices are low,
when profits in farming are missing
in many instances, is precisely the
time to weed out Improbable live
stock. If John Erickson of Waupaca
can raise a Holstein which produces
1927 pounds of butter annually, and
if Otto E. Erdman of Juneau can pro
duce' a cow with a 1,266-pound butter
output, every farmer might aim at
800, 400, or 500-pound cows and thus
add millions of additional wealth to
the state as well as to their OVID
purses

E. F. Hayward, Conover Wis.
HAPPINESS

We would find but little sadness
If we'd look for things that cheer,
For the world is full of gladness
Made to charm the eye and ear.
Just look round you, for minute,
At the things you're passing by;
Everything has goodness in it,
You can find it if you try.
There's a song in every flower,
Health and strength in every breeze
Sit right down and spend an hour
With the birds and flowers and trees
Each one holds for you treasure,
Which will cheer you on your way;
Life is full of joy and pleasure,
Everywhere and every day.
What's the use of hunting sorrow,
When there's happiness in sight?
Have no fear about tomorrow"
If you live to-day" all right.

RIGHT TEMPERATURE
HANDLING POTATOES
Earring and Rough Handling AT
A Low Temperature Great
Iy Increases Damage
To Potatoes

According to recent Investigations
by the United States Department Of
Agriculture, Earring and rough hand
ling when at low temperature in
creases the damage to potatoes by
freezing. 1t was also found that po
tatoes freeze more readily when ex
posed to a rapidly diminishing tenn
perature. There are 2 general classes
of frost injured potatoes those froz
en- solid and subject to collapse i'm,
mediately and those that show evi
dence of injury only on being cut op
en-
Frost injury seems to be the result
of actual ice formation with the po-
tato tissue. 1t is found that where
the temperature of the storage place
was reduced gradually it could be
carried to several degrees below
freezing point before actual freezing
took place and that it was possible
gradually to warm the potatoes and
restore them to normal without their
suffering injury. The actual freezing
point of potatoes was fixed at to 8
IL degrees below the freezing point
of water
The effect of Earring upon under
cooled potatoes is considered extreme
ly important to growers and shippers,
since under some circumstances it
would be entirely possible that a lot
of potatoes or even other products
might be under-cooled considerably
below the freezing point and escape
injury if they remained undisturbed
until their temperature was above the
freezing point. If it should be found
necessary to move lot in order to
protect them from low temperature,
this should be. very carefully done,
having in mind the danger of freezing
at the result of EARRING or jolting
