Charles Evans Hughes, who is SLATED
to become the next secretary of state
sums up his own character in this re-
cent statement:
"The other day a mar said I was
Mid-Victorian in my ways of thinking
Well, l have lived and toiled to win
esteem, not liking"
Hughes pr omised his father that he
would not read a novel until he COM
pleted college. He kept his word.
He applied himself SO closely to his
work that, he admits, he seldom called
upon Miss Antoinette Carter, to whom
he was engaged and whom he married
Dec. 5, 1888.
Entry in New York.
After his marriage he moved to New
York. Few new him. He mixed little
in politics.
Then in 1905 he was appointed as
counsel for a New York legislature
committee Investigating gas and cleo
trio companies. In three weeks he
proved the Consolidated gas companies
a monopoly.
Later in the same year he was called
from abroad to conduct the Armstrong
investigation of the life insurance COM
panies.
Hughes emerged with the reputation
of being the shrewdest cross-examiner
in the country.
He was elected governor of New
York in 1906, defeating William Ran
dolph Hearst. He was reelected in
1908 and before his second term had
expired he was named a justice of the
Supreme court by President Taft.
at was my chief aim in life to reach
the greatest bench in the world" says
Hughes.
Hughes resigned from the Supreme
court in 1916 to accept the Republican
nomination for president.
Two Pictures of Him.
"A man of ardent temperament,
dominated by absolutely clear vision"
that's the picture French Ambassa-
dor Jusserand draws of him.
Another picture is seer by the casual
visitor to the Bridgehampton home.
There you will find him fun-loving,
l%ikeable. human. A man devoted to
his family. The constant companion
of his son and three daughters. The
supervisor of their education.
He is a lover of the mountains and
every summer finds him in them.
Those very close to Hughes will tell
you that there is one office he would
rather hold than that of secretary of
state. 1t is chief justice of the Su-
preme court.

WORKING THE FARMERS

The developments of the past few
months indicate that the farmers of
the Northwest have paid well for their
experience in journalistic fields. They
have been holding the sack, as it were,
for the SocialiStic leaders of the Nom
partisan League. Inveigled into the
newspaper business by stories of great
profits to be derived in the newspaper
game and of the Importance of having
personal newspapers to voice the call
of the League, they invested their
money cheerfully; but what of the re-
suits?
At Albert Lea, Mimi, the League
daily suspended after a few weeks,
with losses running up into the thous-
ands, and the farmers paid the bill.
At Aberdeen, So. OAK, The Square
Deal, a League daily. sunk $50, 900. 90
and the farmers paid the notes, one
farmer, O. f. Hollen, losing a perfectly
good farm.
Lyon county, Minnesota, farmers
were induced to take stock in a League
publication at Marshall. After an I'M
e~ventful career, it struck the rocks and
the Lyon county farmers paid the bill.
Over at Grand Forks, No. Oak, far
mers at the suggestion of the League
satellites, invested in two publications
Grand Forks Daily American and
the North Dakota Tidende. Both have
suspended publication. One was cap
italized at 500, 000.O 90 and the other at
$3O,000.0O, and the farmer "stockhol-
ders" paid the bill.
In Minnesota there are some fifty of
these farmer owned, Socialistic con
trolled newspapers and, if any of them
are making money, they are much bet

Even though the legislature should
pass a law prohibiting the impounding
of waters within the state for use
elsewhere than in Montana. it would
not in any way Interfere with the
Columbia basin project according to it's
officials, as it is proposed to federalize
the Washington project. In that event
they say any legislation passed by the
state would be null, void and of no
effect, as the federal government has
reserved such water rights as Flat
head lake, and federal law would take
precedence over any state law which
might be passed. In other words,
Washington takes the view that Mon

vertisement of a brand, or an article,
or a merchant is only reduced in size
as a continuous palicy; the public
seems to feel that something has gone
out of the article or the concern ad-
vertised.
There are not going to be any alb
normally hard times in 1921. Even
now the times are not hard; they only
appear so to some people in contrast
with the extravaganza and initiation of
the past three OF four years. But,
times are going to be DIFFERENT in
1921. 1t is going to require salesman
ship to moves goods this year. The day
of throwing merchandise upon a will
ing and ready patronage has come to
a close. Business people who succeed
in 1921 and 1922 and the years to come
shall be those who employ systematic
newspaper and magazine advertising.
The day of the salesman-personally
and in advertisements-has returned.
This year will be prosperous to those
business people who will it to be thus.
Selling is going to be a task. The
great business twins, craftsmanship and
service must take charge.
The big national advertisers took a
breathing spell this winter. They ex-
perienced a season of doubt. But, they
have arranged their advertising sched-
ules, and printers ink and art are
again bossing the craftsmanship force
of every successful industry, small and
large. Their compaigns for the sea-
son of 1921 exceed in plan anything of
previous effort. This time they are
going to sell, and we understand that
their particular points of argument
are quality and service.

The mental processes of one who can

successfully. AS to its brutality, fol-

Egg Damage Costs
D Carriers Millions

Carriers paid more than $4,000, 900
last year for damage to eggs in tran
sit and it is believed that unsafe
transportation of eggs costs the ma
ton about S5,000,000 annually, SAYS
the State Farm Bureau traffic depart
ment, in bringing TO the attention of
farmers and other shippers the in
creasing rigidity of the carriers rul-
ings on allowing such damage claims.
Use of second hand or used filters
in egg crates invites trouble and pre-
cludes the possibility of recovering a
claim against the carrier, says the
Farm Bureau. The American Farm
Bureau Federation would protect
shippers by having manufacturers
stamp their product as meeting the
carriers requirements.
Carriers specifications for egg con-
tainers are as follows, says the Farm
Bureau: IF ordinary honeycomb fill
- is used, all flat dividing boards and
trays must be of hard calendered
strawboard weighing not less than 31a
pounds to the set Of 10 trays and u
dividing boards, each of which is to
be of sufficient size to fill the COM
partments and prevent shifting" Adj
ditional helps to high grade filler are
excelsior pads in each side of the egg
case, which absorbs shocks and great
ly reduces the breakage, according to
the Farm Bureau.
