BETTER SHEEP RESULT
OF STATE o POOLS
Growers May Expect 45c
for Clear Bright Medium,
Says r. E. Jones.
(By Farm Bureau News Service)


Marked interest in better
bred sheep is a direct result of
woolpooling in Minnesota, accord
ing to Alex Huddleston, presi-
dent of the Minnesota Co-opera-
tive Wool Marketing association.
The association, acting through
R. E. Jones it's sales manager at
Wabasha, has been giving con-
siderable attention to obtaining
pure-bred rams for wool growers,
the associations interest being in
raising the average grade of wool
grown in the state. The associa-
ton already has supplied many
rams and expects to place scores
more before the next laming
season.
Minnesota Growers may ex-
pect their pooled wool to sell on
a basis of As cents a pound for
Clear Bright Medium, at Wa
basha, Mr.. Jones says. The asso-
citation is now advancing 35 cents
a pound. without making deduc-
tons for freight. Officers urge
growers holding small lots of
wool to ship to the pool now.
rather than to sell to spectators,
as any considerable supply
thrown on the market at this
time will tend to retard the
present advancing market.

Voters of German birth and ex-
traction have the call in Mime
sofa and they were active in the
recent senatorial campaign.
This activity in part explains the
candidacy of DR.. L. A. Fritsche
of New Ulm, who, while he did
not land in the primaries put C.
A. Lindbergh. out of business
and at the same time punched
the German vote in the state
for Johnson and the Farmer-La-
Dor party. In years past the Ger
man vote in the state has been
a Republican asset. Active par
Elephants in the senatorial cleo
ton were former Lieutenant
Governor Tom Frankson and for
mer Secretary of State Julius
Schmahl. They were both for
Johnson and the story now is
that both will figure in next
years campaign, the former as a
Farmer-Labor candidate for
United States senator and the
latter as a candidate for governor.
Farmer-Labor preference. how.
ever, it is said does not run SO
much to a German for the two
big offices as it does to a Scandi-
navian and in this connection
it is claimed that before Johnson
filed for senator he gave his
promise that he would run for
governor in the next campaign,
In any event the present Repub-
lican state administration is in

a radiance of holy love which can
never fade. Her sands Of time
have nearly run out, but feeble
as she is they will go further and
reach down lower for you than
any other on earth. You can't
walk into midnight where she
cannot see you; you cannot enter
a prison whose bars shall keep
out; you never can mount a
scaffold too high for her reach
that she may kiss and bless you.
In evidence of her deathless love.
when the world despises and for
sakes you. when it leaves you to
die by the wayside. the dear old
mother will gather you in her
feeble arms and carry you home
and tell you all your virtues until
you almost forget that your soul
is disigured by vice. Love her
tenderly and cheer her declining
years with devotion."-Ex.

Did the recent senatorial cleo

defeat for the Republican forces
see the passing of Jake Preus

That the senatorial election,
just closed, with its overwhelm-
ing defeat for the Republican
forces will have a bearing on the
1924 campaign is without ques-
ton. Quite a few hazard the
guess that the cleaning next year
will be a thorough one. Fairly
drunk with victory those who
aided in the election of Magnus
Johnson are out for the complete
capture of the state administra-
ton a year hence and this in
cludes every office on the cleo
tive list. Even the supreme
court which will have three va
cancies is to be invaded. Viewed
from the standpoint of those
who make politics a profession
the job is a big one. but when it
is known that a number Of
prominent German-Americans in
the state have given the scheme
their endorsement the tendency
is to make the average layman
sit up and take notice. Debt
ridden Germany is fighting for

Doing the Post Mortem" is
the chief passtime in state capt.
toll circles these days. WHO

and the answers are just as many

Preus," says one. Dollar wheat"
insists another and General un-
rest, contends still another.
All are positive that they know
just what brought about Jake's
defeat and Johnson's elevation
to the senatorship, but what
bothers the capitol crowd the
most is whether he"cleaning'
process will continue through to
the next campaign. To say that
the inhabitants of Capitol Hill
are overwhelmed is putting it
mild; stunned comes pretty near
being the proper word. When
the state canvassing board COM
pleted it's labors the tally sheet
read: Magnus Johnson, Farmer
Labor 2S0,165; j. A. o. Preus,
Republican. 1875, 319; James A.
Carley. 10. 81. Johnson hackers
had hoped that his majority
would reach the 100000 figure
which it did not, but they have
the satisfaction of knowing that
Magnus distanced his colleague,
DR.. Henrik Shipstead, who won
out last fall over Frank B. KEEL
logg by $3.50 votes. How it
happened or who or what was
responsible is not for explanation
or discussion here; the fact only
remains that it happened and
that nearly 100000 Republican
voters were responsible and
that they did it with their eyes
open. That any of the other
nine Republicans senatorial can
didates who participated in the
primary contest could have pre-
vailed against Johnson is doubt
full. Johnson carried better
than two thirds of the counties
of the state, yet despite this
overwhelming lead he is a min
ority winner as was DIR. Shipstead
in the fall election. Only 504, 795
out of a total of about
$4,000 votes in the state were
cast and the stay at homes
it might be said were responsible.
That the North Star state from
now on will be in the national
spot light goes without saying.
The election of Magnus Johnson
in a way cinches so called radical
control of the United States Sem
ate and his every vote and utter
ance together with that of his
colleague. DR.. Shipstead, will be
watched with interest. Magnus
promised much if sent to the
United States senate and delivery
will be expected.
