Stealing Candy From q Baby.
Much attention has been concen-
trated lately on the tribe Of grand
larceny grafters whose speciality is
working on the unholy ''get-rich-
quick" ambitions of people ignorant of
the first principles Of legitimate in
vestment or speculation, and who are
tempted to put their savings, much or
little, into CANDLES in the guise of
fake gold-mining or Gil stocks. But
the less spectacular activities of the
petty larceny swindlers who use the
advertising columns of daily, weekly
and monthly publications, especially
farm papers, to prey upon the poor
seeking only chance to earn money
honestly, calls aloud for the attention
Of the postmaster general and the
American Advertising association.
An Indiana reader writes us that the
typical advertisement of these harpies
is one that appeals, especially in these
days of high prices, small incomes and
business repression, to women on
farms or in small towns, women who
are anxious to help out the family ex-
penses by "spare-time" labor. In
many cases, this spare time is the
scanty leisure left after hard and
long days toll, washing and mending
and baking and house cleaning. Knit
ting machines are offered by, means of
which, it is promised, many dollars
may be earned easily. Or it may be
guinea pigs or Belgian hares that are
offered.
The victim is lured by promise that
the advertiser will pay good prices for
all the knitting done on the machines,
or for all the increase in the guinea
pigs or Belgian hares that may be
shipped. But, as our correspondent
tells us, in most cases "the knitting
machines won'a knit and the guinea
pigs won't guinea" being sterile stock.
Publishers who lend their pages to
these swindlers are nothing short of
accomplices in crime.-Dearborn indie

A Rosy Future for the Farmer

The heavy surplus of many farm
products and the ruinously low prices
that have prevailed during the last
year naturally resulted in profound
depression and some actual suffering
in sections Of the United States depend
ing upon agricultural, but, severe as
the effects have been, the experience
for the country in general and farming
in particular may prove to be profita-
BILE. It has stimulated interest in
farming conditions as never before and
attracted to the solution of crop and
marketing problems some Of the best
minds in the United States. Better
methods of financing, distribution and
handling are being studied and every
effort is being made by powerful and
intelligent organizations to rescue
agriculture from proftless age-old
systems and make it function as ef-
1lclently as any other modern industry.
One of the most important of these

Record Low Prices.

Charles M. Babcock had the reputa-
ton of being a good business man be-
fore he was called from his home in
Elk River to become a member of the
old state highway commission. Legis-
lation reduced the commission to one
commissioner and Governor Burnquist,
strongly urged the late Senator Bob
Dunn of Princeton and Representative
Charles H. Warner of Aitkin, appoint
I ed the Sherburn county man to con-
tinue in charge of the highway con-
struction of the state. When the adop-
ton of the $1,OOO,O0O,0OO good roads
amendment compelled supplementary
Legislation and placed in the hands of
Governor Preus the appointment Of a
commissioner, he was satisfied that the
public interest would be best served
by continuing Commissioner Babcock.
The governors judgment was more
than justified all during the road build
ing season of last year and now Com
missioner Babcock further justifes it
by getting into action very early this
year on highway construction by the
awarding of contracts at record low
prices with work to commence as soon
as weather conditions permit. The
Commissioner is doing all that he can
to have work made speedily available
for road builders. They are eager for
contracts, and labor is at a more
reasonable figure than in long time
available. The contractors wish to be-
gin operations with a rush and thous-
ands of men are eager to be given en-
ployment under them.
Commissioner Babcock declares that
the figures submitted to the state by
road builders are the best in ten years
as to some of the items. Bids totaling
$756,00O for thirteen contracts were
recently submitted and accepted. The
engineers estimates totaled 81 ,O2O, 900.
Note the difference of $264,OOO!
Among the contracts are two for
the north shore: Two Harbors and
Knife River, eight and three-tenths
miles, and the Little Marias-Schroder
road, fourteen and half miles.
Clearly, Commissioner Babcock is
looking to drive the best possible bar
gains for the state. He appreciates
that contractors must make a reasona-
BILE profit and his yankee methods are
not out of harmony with that-he sim
ply takes advantage of every condition
relatives to materials and labor that
is possible.-Duluth News Tribune.

The Need of Nerve.


The spectacle of lawmakers and
political leaders with ears glued to
the ground to catch every shifting
wave of public emotion is not an en-
couraging one. Yet it is to be wit
messed every day by observers of ma
tional affairs.
The most serious shortage this coun-
try is suffering from just now is a
shortage of courage in public life. In
congress it is not the right or the
wrong of the bonus question that is
considered at all. It is the political
expediency of the individual men,
ber's vote upon it.
This is true of practically every i'm
portant question. The Legislators
own opinion, however firmly held, does
not count. Casting aside his better
Judgment, casting aside his own con-
viction Of what is just and wise, he
votes to mend his political fences.
That kind of vote is a wrong vote.
Furthermore, it never accomplishes
even the purpose for which it is cast.
The American people admire courage
above every other quality. They are
far more intelligent than their repre-
sentatives believe them to be-far
quicker to detect, to despise and to
punish cowardice.
The men who stay in public office
are the men who have the intelligence
to form sound convictions and the
courage to act upon them. Go back
to the beginning of our history, and
you will find that the leaders who won

agencies of progress is Henry c. Wal
lace, secretary Of the United States de-
partment of agriculture. Secretary
Wallace, out Of a long experience with
many branches of farming, probably
knows as much about the trouble of
the farmer as any man in the country,
and from that experience he has
evolved some practical ideas of help.
One of these promises to have a pro-
found effect upon the future agricul-
tural life of the nation, and with the
energy characteristic of him he has
already started to work it out. Briefly,
it is an intensive world campaign to
widen the demand for the American
farmers product.
In short article in the current
Hearst's Magazine Mr.. Wallace writes
an outline of the situation and what
his plans are. He is sending agents
into all foreign countries that use or
could use our farm products. These
men are sent abroad, he says, with a
dual purpose-to study the farm mar
kets and their needs, so as to enable
the American farmer to meet the de-
mands, and to encourage and train
foreign people to use our products.
The work is in its infancy as yet but,
says Secretary Wallace:
$50 we'll pleased are we at the re-
suits so far obtained that We have de-
termined to increase our agents until
they thoroughly cover all possible for
eign territory to which it is practical
to ship American goods. In some of
the large countries this will mean as
many as one hundred booster-agents
of the American farm. Many people
in the interior will for the first time
know the real America and become
acquainted with her products"
Large sections of the world must
eventually turn to America for much
of their food supply, and if, through
the stress of present emergency Sec
rotary Wallace quickens that demand
by numebr of years, the end of agri-
cultural depression in this country will
soon be in ight.-Duluth Herald.
