Chickens Prove Profitable Line For
John MetZger.

It is not an unpleasant sight to
see chickens fighting, fighting to get
into the nest to lay. Such is the
sight that will greet ones eyes on
peering into the hen coop of John
Metzger, living a mile northeast of
Morris. Not only in the coop but
every sheltered nook and building
about the place old biddy is looking
to leave her welcome oval and so in
dustriOusly has she gone about it
that 800 pure bred Leghorns are lay
ing an average of 225 eggs these days
a matter of 80 per cent of the flock,
which is not to be sneezed at when
all of these eggs are sold for hatch
ing purposes.
During the months of January and
February Mr.. Metzger's flock pro-
duced some 200 dozen eggs month,
having produced during December
January and February near
~ 500 Dozen eggs. Most
April eggs have been finding nests
and incubators and thus bringing a
little better than the market price
although Mr.. Metzger does not be-
lieve in profiteering on eggs. Last
week he received a testimony from
one of his settings. He sent 1O2 eggs
Two were broken upon arrival at
their destination and from the re-
mainder IS healthy chicks we're
matched.
Mr.. Metzger has a half section of
land and farms about 120 acres of
it. The rest is in pasture and hay.
He broke ten acres last fall and ex-
poets to break a similar amount this
spring. He has been successful in
raising potatoes and this years plans
on 10 acres. He will put in SO acres
of oats, rs to 80 in fax and about
eight in wheat.
Mr.. Metzger has already $50 little
spring chicks and his hatchers going
at full blast. He keeps four head of
horses for his farm work and is now
milking seven COWS. He has a pure
bred Duroc Jersey SOW and eight fine
spring pigs. He formerly lived in
Hancock and southwest of there. He
moved to his present location last
spring and is set on potatoes and
poultry for the coming years.

The Farmer.

(By "TergIverous Tim" in North
field News"
A farmer is an individual who
works thirteen hours day for a liv-
ing; if the undertaken gets him be-
fore he is fifty he don't even get that
He works from five in the morning
until noon to pay his taxes and in
terest; he works all afternoon to pay
the hired man and after supper he
goes out and works until dark to try
and save enough to get his wife a
have every five years whether she
needs it or not.
Some folks farm because they like
to and cannot sleep after four o'clock
in the morning, others because they
have to, and nobody cares cuss
about the rest. The farmer wakes
up in the morning in springtime amid
and in the fall he wakes up as the
other notes are due. In the good old
days he raised barley and hops to add
little joy to life. Now in order to
get little joy he must have some
brew and this necessitates catching
a grasshopper, driving it few miles
and gathering up the hops
A farmer raises a big family to
help him farm; When they are young
they can't help and when they grow
up they go to town to drive a street
car or work in a bank.
There are two kinds of farmers:
Check book farmers and grass root
or dirt farmers. The former have
perfume on their handkerchiefs and
the latter on their overalls. One
makes his money in town and spends
it in the country-the other is try
ing to save enough in the country to
pay what has has already spent in
town.
A farmer tried to go thru bank
ruptcy short time ago and when his
attorney told him that it would take
one hundred and fifty dollars to
make the trip he said he couldn't af-
ford to and would have to farm an
other year.
P. S. Cheer up. The snow is gone,
the sun is shining, the hens are out
back Of the barn scratching for a few
fresh worms and We'll, have fresh
eggs for breakfast anyway.

WANTS HER TO MARRY FARMER
The Farm Home is The Safeguard of

The farm home is the stronghold
of real family life. That is what
Mrs. Minnie Ellington Topping of
Bloomington Ferry, Mimi, wrote in
reply to the question: Would You
Want Your Daughter to Marry a
Farmer" Her letter was one of two
letters from Minnesota farm women
to win prizes in a nationwide contest.
There is a special reason why

from her farm home. "I wish to
have her surrounded with interests
that will emphasize the best qualities
of her soul and make use Of the high

woman, is fitted.

WILL SHE BE FARMERS W1FEg
Farm Mothers Want Girls to Marry
Real Farmers
BY Farm Bureau News Service

BY Farm Bureau News Service
Do farm mothers believe in farm
i ing?
Have they enoguh faith in farming
to want their daughters to marry
farmers?
They have, according to the results
of nationwide contest just con-
cluded. A farm magazine, the Farm
er's Wife, conducted the contest.
More than 1000 farm women wrote
letters answering the question, do
You Want Your Daughter to Marry
Farmer" Ninety-four per cent of
them answered "Yes!" Two of the
So prize-winning letters were written
by Minnesota women. One of them
follows. Other prize winning letters
will be published later. This is what
Mrs, Stuart Oliver wrote from her
farm house near Onamia:
''Im going to stop bit, dear farm
women, in the midst of my work, for
wee daughter is having her nap and
it's a good opportunity to tell you
why wish the best of all good
things for our pride and joy.
1T is because I have known, the
happiness which comes of service,
that I want my daughter to know
it too. Is there any greater joy,
wonder than that of hard task we'll
done? When l have hurried with my
work that might do something ex-
ira outside, worked until 1 felt old
man in all the world has said, L
certainly couldn't farm without you,
oh, how 1 have thrilled. 1t becomes
a little song in my heart and lightens
my work for days. And even if he
weren't the best man, think I could
be happy with the thought: I've
earned my way today; I'm helping
with the most essential job on earth;
I'm working for better future
Then there's the beauty of family
life on the farm. Instead of seeing
my son rushing off with the fellows,
my daughter going out for a good
time that I'll know nothing about,
and the younger children coaxing to
go to the movies, we'll be spending
our evening together with our music,
books or mutual friends, or going to
some amusement together.
And last but not least, of the
good things 1 desire for this daugh-
ter-o' mine, are peace, a love of ma
ture, and time for quiet happy
thoughts. Can they be gotten by
any other class of working people
as easily as by the women on the
farm? She doesn't rush to finish
her work that she may spend day
rgain-hunting-a day of hurry,
worry and 'me-first thoughts; of
spending money she shouldn't spend
and gazing at things she wants and
can't have. No; she may sit on the
front porch a bit while she sews or
mends or reads. She will see and
feel and near the beauty of the
world-her woodland with an I'M
ruffled spirit she will go in and get
supper for her hungry brood.
And so, folks, want my daugh-
ter to marry farmer, a good man,
upright, steadfast and true, with
visions of the farm-life-to-be in his
heart. Then, hand in hand, they
can work to make their dreams come
true, and she will know the happiness
have known. I could not ask for

ers. 1t has requested hearing be-
fort the railroads Wetsern Classifi-
cation committee, to apply for rate
reduction.
The Minnesota federation also
urged the Farm Bureaus of the Da-
kotas, Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, and
Nebraska to join in the efforts to cut
rates on wool.
West of Chicago, the minimum
charge for shipping wool is the rate
on $4,000 pounds in 60 ton capac-
ity car. 1t is impossible, the Farm
Bureau maintains, to load more than
$4,000 pounds of wool into such a
car, so that farmers are forced to pay
freight on 5000 pounds of wool that
does not exist. East of Chicago, it
is understood the minimum rate is
based on 10000 pounds. The Farm
Bureau asks that this 10000 pound
minimum be applied in Minnesota,
to save money for the farmers.

Proposals in Congress to Make
Constitution Amending Easier

shall set aside law of Congress o.
the ground that it is unconstitutional.
. 2. That If the Supreme Court as
sumes to decide any law of Congress
unconstitutional, or by interpreta-
ton undertakes to assert public
policy at variance with the statutory
declaration of Congress. which alone
under our system is authorized to de-
termine the public policies of govern
ment. the Congress may, by repass-
ing the law. nullify the action of the
court.
If the proposal Of Senator La Fol-
lette-which the American Fedora
ton of Labor has apparently taken
as its own-should be adopted. then
any law which Congress should see
fit to pass by a majority vote would
be law of the land and there would
exist in the courts no protection
against it. whether the rights guar
anteed citizens of the country under
the Constitution were violated or not.
The President may veto the bills
passed by Congress. but the Congress
has the power to override his veto by
a two-thirds vote. In the case of the
judicial veto exercised by the Su-
preme Court. holding a law uncon-
stitutional. the plan is to provide for
overriding by mere majority vote.
Suppose Congress. for example, should
pass law in any way limiting the
freedom Of religious worship. or setting
up state church. The courts, under
the proposed plan. would not have the
right to hold this law unconstitutional
even though it violates the express
provision Of the Constitution. The Su-
preme Court might venture an opinion
that it was not constitutional. But if
Congress again passed the law by Il
majority. the opinion Of the Supreme
Court would be of no avail 1t would,
! in effect. provide for the amendment Of
the Constitution by law passed by
Congress. The supreme law Of the land
the Constitution-would no longer be
in any different situation from any law
passed by Congress. In passing. it may
be remarked that now it requires a two
thirds vote Of Congress to submit
proposed amendment to the states and
that then the amendment must be rati-
fed by the legislatures of three-fourths
Of the states before it becomes effective

Senator Owen of Oklahoma has intro

law of Congress His resolution pro-
Vides that the Constitution may be
amended ''in the following manner and
in no other way: An amendment or
amendments or the calling of consti-
tutional convention may be proposed:
by a majority vote of the members
Of each house Of Congress- =,
by either house should the other
house twice reject the proposal. and g
failure for three months to act favor
ably shall constitute rejection. -
Congress shall propose an amendment
or amendments or the calling of a con-
stitutional convention when requested

Congress or either house may submit
competing. measures
The amendments so proposed are. to be
voted upon, not by state legislatures,
but directly by the people in the states.
and a majority Of the votes SO cast in
majority of the congressional dis
tricts. together with a majority Of all
the votes cast thereon. shall ratify.
The constitutionality of many laws
enacted by the legislatures of the
states. as well as by Congress, has
been questioned in the courts. In
very many cases the constitutionality
Of the laws so enacted has been up
held by the court. To mention a COM
paratively recent case which touched
Washington closely - the Supreme
Court upheld the constitutionaiity of
the Ball rent act for the District of
Columbia. In many other cases, 1t is
true that the Supreme Court has held
that laws enacted have been In con-
flict with the provisions Of the Con-
stitution. Twice the court has held
child labor laws unconstitutional. 1t
held the first income tax law uncon-
stitutional, and the Constitution was
amended to meet the difficulty.
The late Col Theodore Roosevelt
was one of those who urged that the
will of the people be registered II the
courts should render decisions which
were contrary to the wishes of the
people. He urged the recall of
judicial decisions. The recall of
Judges has had advocates, too, in
some quarters.
But whether the people Of tho coun-
try would desire to have the legisla-
tive acts Of Congress. as approved
by the President or passed over his
veto, set up as supreme. with no
check whatever from the courts. and
without regard to their constitution
ality, when considered in connection
with the Constitution of the United
States, is matter which has never
yet been determined. Senator La
Toilette means to have the question
decided, if he can.

from stock. There is. therefore, esti-
mated to be in storage. June 3 of
this year. 32.564.OOO tons. OF this
tonnage, 12,564.0G0 can be safely used
before there Is a danger of a coal
panic. Stocks are not. however. even
ly divided. 1t is. therefore, probable
some localities may already be below
safe figure, but with production
continuing, and assuming the coal
now being produced can be evenly
divided, it will be four or five months
before general shortage occurs.
Normal coal production in all the
bituminous fields is placed at 1885,
600 tons a week, but the amount now
being taken from the mines is said to
be from 100000 to 100000 tons be-
low normal, and consumers stocks of
both anthracite and bituminous coal
are being drawn on steadily.
*k k*
Examination Of the figures for the
eleven weeks of the strike showing
the loading of fresh mined coal on
the cars indicated a gradual increase
until the eleventh week, June IL to
II. The week started out well, but on
Thursday serious congestion of rail-
road yards and sidings in certain dis
tricts Of southeastern Kentucky be-
gan to interfere with the placement
of empty cars at the mines. AS con-
sequence loadings were about a thou
sand cars below those of the pre-
vious week. It was said to be unlike
ly, therefore. that the total output
for the eleventh week will do no
more than reach the 100000 mark.
Unless there Is a return to opera
tions in the anthracite fields, the con-
sumers of domestic size coal in the
country are likely to be hardest hit
by the shortage, because soft steam
coal is being mined in some guam
titles. There was no break noted In
the deadlock in the anthracite fields
in the eleventh week of the strike.
Reports to the government show that
the production practically continues
at zero. In that week the. output
. was limited to 253 cars of fifty tons
each, or a total of 1860 tons. But
this mere drop in the bucket was not
mined coal, but coal dredged from the
rivers. 1t was steam coal, and there
fore would not affect, tho demand in
domestic sizes. In the corresponding
week of a year ago, the figures show
that 1.s63.00o tons OF hard coal were
produced.
