MAGNUS TO
START IN
BASEMENT
Minnesota Senator to Occupy
New Office in Senate
Building,
BY ROBERT TALLEY

ASHINGTON, Aug. S0.-How' d
.WI you like to be United States
Senator? His salary is $40 a
day his clerks and stenographers are
paid by Uncle Sam. stationery comes
free, for travelling expenses he re-
ceives 20 cents a mile, he sends out
tons Of mail each year, but never pays
postage, and in addition to all this he
gets handsome suites of offices
equipped with private Mushrooms and
even running ice water.
Washington is now making ready
for Senator's return in December from
their vacation which began last March
salary has gone on all along-and
the great Senate Office Bldg, just
across from the Capitol, is being re-
decorated and renovated.
Senator Magnus Johnson Of Mime
sofa, he of the leonine voice, will
have to begin at the bottom, as he
has been awarded an office in the
basement, as have several other new
corners. Several big Unused rooms on
that floor have been converted into
Senator's offices by the installation of
terra Gotta partitions so as to give
each a private office and reception
room.
Hate to spoil a good story, but that
yarn to the effect that a sound-proof
wall has been built for the leather
lunged Minnesotan's office is the
bunk.
Same as any other suite in the
building" says August Eccard. con-
struction engineer Of the Capitol, who
drew the plans. I'VE merely installed
partition to cut that big unused
room in half"
The farmer Senator is not expected
to arrive here for sometime Until
then as was recently pointed out in
the Houston Press, he will continue
to have his pictures snapped while
draining the crank case Of his favorite
Jersey cow.
The senatorial travelling allowance
of 20 cents a mile causes quite a lot
of talk here, but some Senators seem
TO think that IT has certain advan-
tages. For instance. there's Senator
Carter Glass of Virginia. whose arch
enemy is Senator Heflin OF Alabama
and who, it is believed. would gladly
vote to give Heflin a $4,000 travelling
allowance at this rate If he would
only promise not to buy a round-trip
ticket.

GOVERNOR PINCHOT'S SOLUTION

" situation which should have support of united public
opinion of America.
The public will get coal and will it without being sub

This because the Pennsylvania governor has recognized
principle namely that while last resort coal be
mined without the coal operators be mined without
miners Most previous adudcators of disputes like the
gone contrary theory They think
that threats nunctons and armed troops might take the
operators ,
Our for saying the above that the settlement pro-
posed by the frankly likely attractive
the miners than the operators The governor cannot be
of this He the coal going be mined and there
you are.
The thing Objectionable the operators Pncho
statement is thing that the public will hail with pleasure
He increased proposed need of the
pockets of the suffering coal Backed by
analysis of production he ends the persistent
that for dollar of
public must pay dollar per ton of coal This
has been fair dealing the part of the producers
last Pennsylvania of all States has produced big

There technical weaknesses governor proposal
that both sides will be quick upon should possible
to iron these its acceptance principle obtained
from the public will help bring about this acceptance Every

IN ENGLAND
Being Pedestrian Is Perfectly
Honorable Sport Over
There,

T1 NGLAND: We are inclined to
r. be somewhat suspicious in
III America of the man who comes
along the country road on foot. He
probably is a tramp If he had any
money, he would ride on a railroad
train. He undoubtedly is extremely
poor or he would be riding in his
automobile.
Hiking for pleasure? What! A man
walking for fun? What fun can a
man find in walking? You are certain
he is walking from preference and not
from poverty? Oh, nut, an eccen-
iris fellow-probably dangerous
Can he find a bed in a farmhouse?

would take a chance of having era
" man get up in the night and muir
| der everybody? Well, hardly.
In England folk reason the other
way If the man were in a hurry
| he would ride on a railroad train.
If he were in a hurry, it would mean
| he was pressed for time. If a man is
pressed for time he is either being
forced to hurry for a living, or he is
after money, or he is worker on a
holiday and forced to hurry to save
time in his holiday. If he is scorch-
ing over the road at high speed in
an auto, he may be a newly-rich en-

! gentleman of wealth, or he may be a
college professor or student who pre-
| fers study and culture to money. Can
the farmer give him supper, lodging
and breakfast the next day? Wei
come, stranger!
The result of the English way OF
| reasoning is that England is an ideal
country for pedestrians and thou
sands of men spend their holidays in
walking:
The American visitor is aston
ished by the large number OF elderly
men who make either bicycle or
walking tours though rural England

Englishman doesn't stop playing
when his hair whitens. Sometimes

not play more than the young.

the outdoors but of exercise It is
quite a common thing to find a man

and cap. hiking or bicycling through
the country for fun. Men we'll toward
so who ride a wheel, are not at all
uncommon.

Perhaps one way the Englishman
lives long is by living slowly He takes

Montana,s Turkey Cron

More than one million pounds of
turkey meat, valued CONSERVATORY
at more than a quarter of a million
dollars, will be marketed by north
ern Montana turkey raisers this fall,
according to an estimate by county
farm agents.
Montana turkeys average 10
pounds when ready for sale, and the
agriculturists estimate that there are
more than 10000 turkeys, for a
conservative number, in the 81 coun-
ties that make up northern Montana.
Montana turkeys are of a quality
that makes them particularly desir-
able in eastern markets, according to

try specialist connected with the
state poultry specialist connected

Pied Piper of PowderviIIe

When Tom Barnard of PowderVille
wanted to market his 800 hogs, he
faced a difficult problem. Miles City,
his nearest shipping point, was ap-
proximately 60 miles away, he had
no means OF transporting such a
large number and he realized they
could not be driven. After some
thought, however, he hit upon a
happy solution.
Loading a wagon with corn, Bar
nard sent it on ahead. One man
drove and another, from time to time,
threw out a few ears of the cereal.
Like the rats following the Pied
Piper of Hamlin, the hogs followed
the wagon, stopping only to devour
the corn that was thrown to them.
Barnard, coming on behind, kept the
stragglers in line and the 60-mile
journey was accomplished without
untoward incident. The hogs made
the trip at a leisurely gait, feeding
as they went, and arrived in splendid
condition. The expense was slight.

CLAIMED WINTER DA0RYlMG
USUALLY MOST PROFITABLE

spring. Figuring butter fat at 40
cents per pound, this makes a diff
ference of $3.50 per COW.
Besides the production increase
there are other advantages to fall
freshening. Calves raised in the
fall or early winter generally do bet
ter than those dropped in the spring
and when grass is ripe in the spring
they are old enough to be turned out
in the pasture to rustic for them
selves.
More fall and winter dairying
would also tend to stabilize the mar
kets. Many creameries hardly have
sufficient volume to operate in win
ter and are often unable to supply
their regular customers with butter,
whereas in summer their plants are
crowded and they have difficulty in
finding a ready sale for their pro-
ducts without shipping to large mar
kets. Without a cold room in which
to store their products they must
ship in small lots which adds much
to the cost of handling.
Whether the advantages of winter
dairying will offset those of sum-
mer d%airying is a question which
each farmer must decide for himself.
Owing to the great seasonal differ
ence in the production of butter in
Montana, however, winter dairy as
a rule is more profitable to the man
who is prepared to take care of his
animals at this time of the year.

HOW TO PREPARE YOUR GRAIN
FOR FATTEMlMG BEEF CATTLE

when fed with some other ground
grain as by grinding together a thor
ough and even mixture is secured.
The Minnesota experiment station in
a recent experiment found that it did
not pay to grind the corn and oats
for fattening calves into baby beeves.
Older cattle chew their food less
thoroughly and will probably pay
better for grinding to oats than the
younger cattle.
When alfalfa hay is high in price
it is sometimes cut into short lengths
for feeding purposes. AS a rule its
feeding value is increased 20 to 80
per cent depending on the feeds with
which it is fed. AS the cost of cut
ting usually runs ove $3.50 per
ton, it is profitable to cut it only
when the hay is high in price. In
considering whether to cut it, it
should be remembered that it will re-
quire somewhat less feed to the steer,
this saving coming mainly from the
waste in feeding whole hay. Either
the hay used should be cut every day
or two or storage space should be
provided for it as it is liable to mold
in wet weather if stacked outside. A
decision to cut should be based upon
the expense, supply of hay, price of
hay and quality of hay.
