+ +. Speak Wishe. .<>.

Every farmer in Kandiyohi county
is to have chance to vote in the first
nationwide referendum ever arranged
to give producers chance to tell con-
gress what laws they want. 81
The Minnesota Farm Bureau feder-
alton recently sent out call to every
county and township farm bureau or
ganizatiOn in the state to caucus its
members and ascertain their senti-
ment on Is questions now under con-
sideration by congress. A similar
call went out to the farm bureaus of
As other states from headquarters of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton.
In Minnesota the farmers are ask
ed to debate the various questions at
township and county meetings, and
then vote yes or no. The results of
the referendum will be presented to
congress to prove that the farmers are
united in their request for legislation
to put agriculture on paying basis.
Following are questions on which
farmers in this county are to vote:
Do you favor legislation to prohibit
short selling of farm products? Do
you want congress to submit to the
states constitutional amendment
prohibiting issuance of tax-exempt Sc.
| curities? Do you favor the excess
profits tax or enactment of a sales
tax? Other propositions include in.
creasing federal land bank loans from,
$4,000 to $25;000; legalizing national
cooperative marketing and establish
ing means of financing it; and com.
pletion of the Great Lakes-St. Law.
renee waterway.
| 'tEvery Minnesota farmer should
get in touch with the local farm bur
eau unit and vote in this referendum, u
the state federation said. "This is the
first time that all farmers in America
have had chance to tell congress
what they want"
Every farmer also is asked whether
he could market more produce if the
farm bureau obtains cut in railroad
rates. The federation, officials said
hopes to obtain a reduction of $50,
100000 to $1O0,000,00O in rates by
proving to the railroads that lower
rates will bring enough traffic to make
up for the decrease.

is Anticipated that most of those securi-
ties will he out of the banks shortly
on account OF the private investment
demand
Bond experts point TO the reduction
OF the Reserve Bank rediscount rate
and the easier tone of call and COM
mercial money as an indication tnat
the trend of the market must be up
ward. It required a bond situation Of
sound character and outlook to absorb
the horde of new fixed debt interest
bearing securities offered for invest
ment The aggregate to those not
familiar with bond dealings has been
tremendous during the last six or seven
months. Probably until the July re-
investment funds shall be available the
output Of new Issues will be so small
as TO afford the breathing spell that
the market needs. II Is anticipated
that a large part. IL not all. of the July
interest. dividend and maturity dis
bursements will be rcinvested in bonds
and better bond markets are antici-
pated for next month.

ALMOST EQUAL TO sEQuolAs
Dragon Tree Of the Canary Islands
Is Said to Live to Most Re-
markabIe Age.

The dragon tree of the Canary is
unds. which at first glance resembles
huge piece of coral, is remarkable
lot only for its shape but also for It's
extreme age. Indeed, in that respect
II is lifting rival to the sequOias,
,r famous California rcdwOods.
According to correspondent Of
Country Life, the most celebrated
dragon tree WAS at Orotava In Tene-
rife; but unfortunately a great gale
destroyed 1t several years ago. In
l790 Humboldt found the tree to be
40 feet in circumference and be-
iieved then that It had not increased
IN size since 1402. when Jean de Beth
encourt. conqueror of the Canarles.
described the tree as large and hol-
low. Although Humboldt estimated
the age at six thousand years. Kerner
in his natural history OF plants says
he should not like to guarantee that
the tree is quite so old.

PURITAN HUSBAND MALlGNED
There Is Strong Proof That He Was
Not Lacking in Senti-
mentality.

Did those Puritan husbands lack
charm or devotion to their women?
/ find that theory had to reconcile
with the fact that so many of them
had three wives, writes Stuart T..
Sherman in the Atlantic.
Most Of MS modern men feel that
we have charm enough If we can OBJ
tain and retain one, now that higher
education of women has made them 50
pensive to maintain.
Now Cotton Mather had three wives.
and when he was forty or SO, in
the short interim between No. = and
No. 3, he received proposal of mar
riage from 4 girl of twenty, who was,
he thought the wittiest and prettiest
girl in the colony. | concluded in
evitably that there was something
very attractive in Cotton Mather.
Call it charm; call it what you will !;

take the case of John Winthrop. the
piOus Puritan governor of Massnchu-
setts. After truly religious court
ship, he married his wife, about 1918,
against the wishes of her friends. We
have some letters of the early years
of their life together in which he ad-
dresses her as MY dear wife" MY
sweet wife" and MY dear wife, my
chief joy of this world well. that
is nothing; at first, we all do that.
But ten years later Winthrop pre-
, pared to visit New England, with
out his family, to found a colony.
While waiting for his ship to sail, he
writes still to his wife, by every pos
sible messenger, merely to tell her that
she is his chief joy in all the world ;
and before he leaves England he ar
ranges with her that, as long as he
Is away. every week on Tuesday and
