THE FARMER WINS THE ELEcT1oN-Per

Laps the most significant phase of the recent cleo
ton is summed up in public statement issued by
Mr.. Gray Silver Washington representative OF
the American Farm Bureau Federation, as follows
The entire membership of the senate and house
agricultural blocs was returned to congress by a
safe majority. We consider this full vindcation
II tie American Farm Bureaus legislative pro
gram, as well as that OF the blocs, and proof that
ihc legislation was in line with public sentiment.
Mr.. Svers analysis is obvious but it tells on
" part of the lesson.
The result evidently heralds an awakening OF
tic public mind to the fact that the real party in
which Americans are interested unit is the
american party whose backbone and sole platform
is the prosperity Of the who tills the soil and
l"eps the world alive.
Twenty years ago no one could conceive Dem
o,ratic farmer rejoicing at the election OF Repub-
an to Congress, but likewise twenty years ago
,e could not conceive Illinois listening to the OPP
in New York per radio today.
The world moves. Blind partisanship VS. giving
way to common sense and coming to see
/ At such matters as the national budget and the
tariff are not properly placed in the sphere of poll
tics The farm is in this category of national fac
tors that must be safcguardcd and developed re-
CARELESS OF party if the nation is to progress and
fortunately the farmer has scnsed this fact for
himself
While the great cities have poked great deal
u fun at the farmer and smiled at his ingenious
simplicity, seemingly he is the only force in Amer
lean lie that has displayed enough common sense
10 organize along intelligent lines and sufficient
alumen to make good.
The Legislative success OF the farmer may be
traced more than anything else to the fact that it
faS been based on justice, and is for the common
good.

% raise meat animals in Georgia more chcaply than

yet we buy our weight in meat products every year

ONE AT A TIME BOYS

Who is the most beautiful young woman in Cochise county?
 This is what the Arizona state fair commission is asking with the idea of securing her as this county's repre-. sentative in statewide beauty con. test, the winner of which will be known as the Queen of the Arizona state fair. And with this honor, of course. goes the distinction of being known as, the most beautiful young woman of Arizona.
 The general plan calls for a pre- liminary contest to be held in each county of the state, with the excep- ton of Maricopa county. Details of the contest remain to be worked out, but sufice it to say that Cochise county will be represented by her fairest daughter and that she will have fair opportunity for capturing the regal title of Arisuua's bcautydom.
