ASSERTS COUNTRY
OVER ORGANIZED
SENATOR CUsIMNs SAYS 1T is
HARD TO LEARN CONDITIONS
CAN'T TELL PROPAGANDA
FROM FACT.

Des Moines, Ia, Sept. 2S.-Pictur-
ing Washington as merely a place
where organizations make war upon
each other for selfish legislative pur-
poses, Senator A. B. Cummins, of
Iowa, in a speech here, declared that
the present tendency toward overor-
ganization in the country has Great
ed "a very difficult and alarming
situation"
He declared that organization has
gone to such length that IL Is now
practically impossible for congress to
get an unselfish and unbiased opin-
ion upon any public question.
THE United States," he declared,
"is overorganized and at the expense
of Independence of opinion. The SAT-
ETY. of this country lies in a concen-
sus of judgment among intelligent
people. We are drifting toward a
condition in which IL is impossible
TO get this concensus of opinion;
when every industry and avocation is
closely and effectively organized.
Where are we to get in Washing
ton, when every bit of information
that comes TO us, comes from sell
fish standpoint? Down there now. Ii
is simply a war between organiza-
tions. Congressional committees are
constantly holding hearings upon
important questions and l have yet
to hear during this session a single
man come TO a. committee hearing
for the purpose Of enlightening the
committee from the public stand
point. All come to urge something
that will help the particular organiza-
tion with which they are affiliated.

difficult and alarming. situation"
He defended the railroad law. of
which he was co-author, after stating
frankly that many eminent persons
had called ii a failure.

Good Health Is To
Be Made A Habit

Washington, d. c., Sept. 2S.--
Good health will become a habit
rather than fortunate possibility IL
the program recommended for Amer
lean school children by the bureau
of education is generally adopted and
carried out in the elementary schools
of the country.
The program outlined in the
pamphlet makes interesting contribu-
tions to the. science of teaching. The
object is not to cram facts about
health into the minds of the pupils,
but to make them matter of every
day living, to turn knowledge into
action and crystallize it into habit.
For the children these are the
special rules of the health game:
"A full bath oftener than once a
week; brushing the teeth at least
once a day: movement of the bow
els every day; sleeping long hours
with windows open; drinking much
milk and no tea or coffee; eating
vegetables and fruit every day;
drinking at least four glasses of wa
ter day: playing part of every day
out of doors"
For the teachers, rule No. ! is the
weighing and measuring Of every
child once month, which can cas-
lily be done in every classroom where
good pair of scales is insisted to
be as important as a blackboard.

Earth TremOrs ~
AT White Lake

White Lake, Sept. 28.--Residents
of this community were frightened
Friday evening when an earthquake
shock occurred here. The tremors
were also felt in other towns west of
the Missouri river, it is reported.
The shock was sufficiently strong
to rattle dishes in supboards and
cause furniture in some homes to be-
come misplaced. Some people re-
ported that the mysterious tremors
made sound much like locomo-
tive laundering through building.
No windows were broken nor 9TH
er damage reported. The tremors
lasted for only few minutes and the
earth was then quiet again. Some
people were so disturbed by the un-
usual occurrence that they were
afraid to go to bed Friday night.
but there has been no further evi-
dence Of any disturbance.
So far as is known there are no
government recording Instruments In
this locality by which the tremors
could have been measured.

Hereford Prices
Are Badly Off

Pierre, Sept. 28.7-The first Here
ford sale attempted in this part of
the country, for some time was held
at the Tyler ranch, east Of this city,
when a bunch of registered cattle
were put through the ring. The pri-
ces received were not up to the boom
prices OF war days, the average being
about $40 on 80 head which were
taken out Of the offerings. One bull
was bid up to $220. and one cow
brought 5000. The Indications are
that, while Herefords have good
selling value, they will not bring the
figures which they did in the days
whenfmoney was plentiful and prices
weer rushed toward the $1,000 mark
for many individual sales. 4

GRAIN GROWERS
SECURE MEMBERS
GREAT NATIONAL SELLING AG-
ENCY MAKES BIG GAIN-SUN
SHINE STATE AT FRONT.

Huron, Sept 2S-More new men,
bers for the U. S. Grain Growers,
Inc, were obtained last week than
in any previous six-day period, ac-
cording to summary of organiza-
ton work received here by the South
Dakota Farm Bureau federation from
Chicago headquarters. Field reports,
the summary states, indicate a
growth of 1,542 i'm membership,
bringing the total to 11,907. Eleva-
crease of 80. Only during one pre-
vious week have more country ship
ping points become affiliated with
the movement. In point of increase,
Illinois and Missouri share honors
during the period, organizers la the
former having obtained SIS new
memberships and in the latter, 400.
This growth" said a statement
issued in connection with the sum-
mary, shows how rapidly the move
ment will be extended as new states
are opened up and solicitors in sec
tions where work is now under way
become more familiar with the task
of fairly presenting the issues in
volved. 1t is more than passingly
significant that in all states where
solicitation is well started, field
workers are bringing in ever increas-
ing totals.
"At present, North Dakota con-
tinues first, with 4,321; Illinois sec
ond, with 2,51S; Nebraska third,
with 1,47S, due to an increase of $50
last week; and Oklahoma fourth,
with 1858. Missouri is close fifth,
with 1,1S3."
More than $50 contracts We're Nob-
tanned by four men in Missouri. The
feature of the week in Illinois was
the report from Kendall county,
where 356 contracts were obtained
during the six-day period. Mclean
continues the best county in the
United States, with membership OF
901. I4aSalle county now has
membership of $40. State Organizer
Robert N. Clark, expects TO open up
at least one new county this week.
Reports from Illinois elevators that
have signed contracts show l2O, an
increase of 10 over the field reports
for last week.
The feature of the work in South
Dakota thus far has been the excep-
tionally average acreage represented
by contracts negotiated, according 10
Director ]. T. Belk. Thus far, 2lO
memberships have been obtained by
two solicitors, representing an aver
age acreage of 40.
In Nebraska, organization work Is
steadily progressing. F. G. Schultz
interviewed 81 Rockford county far
mers in three days and obtained a
contract from each. Thus far soli-
citations have been carried on In
Clay, Fillmore, Saline. Gage. Jonn-
son, Lancaster, Polk, York, Hamh-
ton. Dixon and Saunders counties.
The first 1000 contracts show that
'1,262,964 bushels of corn, 1,0OO,olo
bushels of wheat and 5S5,238 bush
els of oats are involved. The average
acreage of each member is 139.
Shortly after the elevator at Ben
nett, Colo, had signed up. 63 farm
ers-70 per cent Of all in that trade
territory--had become members. Di-
rectors of an elevator at Deer River
not only signed an elevator contract
but negotiated individual agreements
at the same time.

port from Director G. H. Hyde, our
solicitor had 145 memberships to his
credit, the second man had IA.
