MAKE DAIRYING A COMMUNITY PROJECT

Through Minnesota and Wisconsin, where the
farmers have made the greatest profits in dairy
ing, they have gone into the industry by
munities. That is, the industry can be made to
yield quicker and more certain profits when the
whole neighborhood is working together in the
matter than if only farmer here and there
is engaged in it.
Dairying lends itself easily to cooperative eff
fort. and coming to know that the future
of farming, both production and marketing, is
along the line of cooperative organization.
SO in getting into dairying, let work with
each other.
Starting with the dairy herd it is not neces-
sary for one farmer to buy pure bred SIRE but
let several farmers club together and buy
Community breeding associations have frequently
solved the dairy sire problem and solved it with
small expense to the farmers.
In taking up dairying, it is economy for the
whole community to agree to adopt the same
is not so important because any of the standard
dairy breeds good but the important thing
is to agree breed and then stick to it.
If the neighborhood is a certain breed basis
and different groups of farmers have co-operated
in the purchase of sres, after two three years
the sres can be exchanged and passed from one
group to another. This brings about big saw
ing and is oney-maker. So let take up
dairyng by communities and, if possible work
with the same breed with just few breeds
possible.
In previous article, pointed out that it
did not necessarily require big investment

will and the desire to start. We would advise

If community could start, the matter. OF

highly profitable, would be only matter of time
and of intelligent effort. From time to time
the poor cows could be weeded out and sold,

This is the common sense, practical way to
get into the dairy business. 1t is better to grow
into it than to jump into it. AS grow, all

Some weeks ago Senator La Fol.

titled to 1t on figurative basis. The
reason advanced for this action was
because Senator La Toilette was
strongly opposed to the tariff bill.

But the further vital fact Is that
just as soon as Beveridge Is fully
launched on that career he will
completely out.talk and completely

of the greatest orators intellectual.

1t is thoroughly known In the Sen.
ate that his oratorical gifts were

that they win be given to conserva

known that as soon as sBeveridge
returns to the Senate, his voice will
be the only conservative voice, CON-
peting for eioquence in the ears Of

The attack OF La Toilette at st.

who follow politics coldly and pro.
fessionally as being Beveridge's first
national step on the road which
must take him in time to being the
plumed knight Of the conservatives
at some rapidly approaching Re-
publican presidential convention.
The Washington times., 1922-09-01

WILLIAM HARD realized that ex-
Senator Beveridge as a prospective
Presidential candidate, Is going to
be put forward not by the progres.
sives of the Republican party, but
by a large and enthusiastic section
of the Republican party's stanch
conservatives.
In the dispatches OF this service II
has frequently been explicitly stated
that Mr.. Beveridge is In fact con-
servative and that all the congratu-
lations which progressives handed to
themselves when Beveridge carried
Indiana's Republican Senatorial Fri
mary were baseless.
Writing from indianapolis imme.
diately after the conclusion of Mr..
Beveridge's campaign In Indiana. I
pointed out that every high spot in
Mr.. Beveridge's campaign speeches
was In fact high spot of highly con.
servative sentiment and argument.
Mr.. Beveridge has now verified
that analysis of his political position
and he has verified II on a spectacu-
lar. nationwide scale.
Comment here Is directed to the fol-
lowing extraordinary circumstances
surrounding Mr.. Beveridge's Min
neapolis performance.
]. Mr.. Beveridge picked a time
when Mr.. La Toilette was engaged
in a bitter fight for his life within
the Republican party in Wisconsin.
Two-Beveridge picked a State,
namely, Minnesota-which is right
next door to La Follette's State of
Wisconsin.
Understanding up at such a
moment and at such a spot he
picked the central plank in La
Follette's present national plat.
form. namely, the plank about the
United States courts--an6 he sets
this plank up as a target and he
I fired at II one of the largest and
grandest high explosive shells Of
his whole oratorical career.
Mr.. Beveridge has many friends
and followers here because of his
frequent and extended visits here
during summer seasons. 1t Is con-
fidently maintained here that Bev-
eridge thoroughly realizes that
when he goes out of his own State
and attacks a Republican candi-
date in another State in the midst
of a local Republican factional
fight, he Is violating every ordinary
theiry of common political party
etiquette. II is maintained here
that Beveridge must be moved to
this violation OF etiquette by some
extremely strong sense Of higher
political and moral duty.
The question is: What duty? And
the answer in practice will be seen
to be as follows:
Mr.. Beveridge Is headed toward
the career Of being a dauntless

The fate of the soldiers bonus

Two courses are open TO him,
Republican leaders of Congress
agreed.
He can accept the views of al
most two-thirds of the Senate
recorded for the bill when it passed
the upper chamber-and sign it.
Or he can veto it, secure in the
knowledge that scant more than
one-third of the Senate, or enough
to sustain his veto, was recorded
against it. ,...
Lodge Is Confident.
1t is not believed that the House
would sustain his veto Of the bill.
1t went on record March % by a
vote of S33 to 70 as favorlng a

Senator Lodge is among the Re-
publican leaders who are confident
that when the bill Is agreed to
finally ~by the Senate and House
the President will consider care
fully and seriously the fact that a
large majority Of Republican men,
bers of both branches Of Congress
are on record as advocating a SOL
diers' bonus. They are OF the
opinion that ne win not act hastily,
II only because Of the additional
fact that the vote in both Senate
and House disclosed a small mi
nority of his party against 1t.
Anti-bonus Senators, on the other
hand. clung to their prediction that
the President would veto whatever
kind OF bill Is sent to him finally.
and that his veto would be sustained
by at least thirty.eight votes in the
Senate, or five more than the thirty
three necessary to uphold it. They
were greatly encouraged by the
