GREATEST in PLAINS STATES
Matter OF Farm Risks Established by
Y Records Kept by the Depart :
ment Of Agriculture.

Risks in the production of three
great staple crops-corn, wheat and
oats-are greatest in the plains states,
extending from Texas to North Da-
kota. This general fact is established
by the average deviation of the yield
per acre from the average yield, COM
puted by the bureau Of crop estimates,
Department Of Agriculture, for these
three crops for each state from the
records of 80 years.
On the other hand, the North At
lantic and the western states are re-
gfons Of comparatively low risk, or
deviation Of yield per acre from the
average, for wheat and oats, and the
entire Atlantic coast and the west for
corn. S.
The great corn belt, with its enor-
nous production and surplus above
local consumption, is, after all, prom
1nently subject to risks Of weather, in
sects and disease in the production of
crops, and, while it would be going too
far to say of this region as a whole
that the results of it's agriculture are
either "a feast or a famine" yet there
Is a tendency in this direction as the
area covered by the average becomes
more restricted to county, township
and individual farm.

Jack walked slowly .homeward, with
bowed head and knitted brow. Home
Was 1t home to which he was going?
Could that bare room in the lodging
house be called home? Once he had
had a home, 'eozy and cheerful, with a
little wife to make him happy, but
they had quarrelled. He hardly re-
membered what it was about. In, Bit
ter anger they had separated. He had
come to the city and had lived his
lonely life and had heard no word from
Sally since he left.
1t came back to him in vivid rec0l-
lection as he walked the street, Obliv-
ious Of surroundings. Perhaps it was
because it was just six years today
since he left her that he was thinking
of the past. He had kept the date.
Sally was pretty girl, with laugh
ing eyes, bright and witty-saucy some
times, changeable and high spirited;
yet loving and tender, always begging
for pardon after each outbreak, arms
clinging about his neck.
Jack had loved this fiery young thing
whom he had won.
10 drown his sorrow Jack had
plunged into business. He had made
money, but it brought him no happi.

fully, longing for Sally. The old town
looked as it did the morning he went
away.
The great elm tree spread it's friend
~ branches in front of the cottage,
as of yore (Sally loved-that tree).
L1lacs were in bloom. The house had
friendly air. He almost expected to
see Sally open the door and come out
with her old bright smile.
The door did open, but it was not
Sallys face that met him. A man,
young and vigorous, paused on the
step as he saw Jack confronting him.
"Good day, my FRIEND" he accosted.

A Great Moral Victory.

Public opinion has won a great
moral victory. The railroad strike
has been called off principally because
public opinion had given it's edict in
unmistakable terms that there must
be no cessation of service.
1t may be questioned whether the
brotherhoods ever really intended to
precipitate an actual strike. They
promulgated their strike ballots on
the implied understanding that a ia
vorable vote would be used to force a
settlement and that a strike was a
remote possibility.
But in any case the pressure of
public opinion from every side forced
| the chiefs and their advisers to take
the action they have now taken. The
desertion of the standard unions, in
Guiding three fourths of the two mil
lion rail workers of the country, was
the first break.
| While it was ascribed to failure of
the brotherhoods to make proper
guarantees, the truth was that the rail
workers themselves had no STOMACH
for a fight with the odds all against
them, with many unemployed men
ready to take up the jobs they had
quit, with the government determined
to see the roads operated, with the
public cold and hostile.
The railroad labor board will re-
ceive it's share of the congratulations.
no doubt, and it may be said to have
indicated the Esch- Cummins law by
which it was created. At least, it has
brought about postponement of the
struggle, and has used the power of
the government and the public stand
'hg behind it to force abandonment Of
| the strike
But the board made the tactical
error of promising to postpone the
question of further wage reductions
until all the pending cases involving
rules Of work are disposed Of. The
brotherhoods were given to under
stand that this meant postponement
of wage reduction questions until next
summer, and they promptly hailed
this as a concession justifying recall
OF the strike order.
Thus the real issues are postponed
and not settled. The demand of the
country for lower rates has been part

A Chance in Life.

A child was born in northern Minne-
sofa little over fourteen years ago.
She was crippled so badly that it
seemed impossible for the spark of
life to remain. Her spine was crooked,
one Of her feet was "club" and she
had a congenitaT dislocation of the
hip.
She lived on day after day in the
little frontier cabin with her mother,
who was also crippled as a result of
infantile paralysis. Her life was that
of the crippled animal No education
and no amusements other than watch
ing the slow march of the sunlight
across the rough cabin wall.
A doctor on hunting trip through
that section stopped at the house one
day to get water. He was invited in
to rest and on seeing the child his
professional instincts were aroused to
such an extent that within q few
weeks the little girl was transferred
to the state hospital for crippled chill
dren, St. Paul.
Here for the first time in her drab
life she had companionship Of other
children. Here for the first time she
had the tender, loving care Of
trained nurses who knew just how to
handle the bed-tired little body con-
torted into grotesque shapes.
She learned her alphabet, attended
school classes in the hospital and in
between received the best that the
specialist doctors could do for her.
In few years her body began to
assume normal shape. Then one day
she took her first step without assis-
tance. Overcome with JOY she cried
And so did the nurses at her pathetic
ecstacies.
Just few months ago she was dis
charged from the hospital. Her spine
was straight, her foot was normal
and her hip functioned "just like the
other kids"
She went home to her mother and
took charge of the house and gave her
crippled mother the rest she had new
er had since her childhood.
There are 225 children in Minnesota
who need just the care that this little
cripple got at the state hospital, but
there is no room for them.
When Michael Bowling, Olivia
banker and newspaperman, died the
entire civilized world heaved a SIGH of
segret because it had lost the COM
anIonship of a man who, though
rippled in body, overcame all his
landicaps and became leader among
men.
Immediately following his death
there arose popular demand for a
memorial to his name. Knowing the
intense love he had for the crippled
child it was decided to collect a fund
of 100000 to construct an adaquate
addition to the state hospital and
name it for him.
More than $4,000 was raised by
the Minnesota Bankers association
and the Minnesota Editorial associa-
ton and the Elks have combined to
raise the necessary $4,000 to con-
