lagOons and forests. The region is
the greatest spawning ground in Am
erica of the black bass and other finny
species. 1t is the habitat Of thousands
of fur-bearing animals and the So
journing place of sWarms OF wild
fowl, migrating from winter to sum-
mer homes and back again.
This is but a beginning. The Wal
ton league asked for an opportunity
and congress granted it. The work
must go forward and outdoor Ameri-
ca must be restored in its magnifi-
cence and beauty

They Give Bob
Eleven States.
Old Guard champions, noting that
Senator Brookhart of Iowa was nom
mated, are willing to cOncede LaF'ol-
lette II northwest states with cleo
toral votes as follows:
Wisconsin, 10; Minnesota, II; Iowa,
10; Nebraska, 8; North Dakota, 5;
, South Dakota, s.; Wyoming, 3; Mon
tana, 4; Idaho, 4; Oregon, 5, and
Washington, Z.
The total is 70 electoral votes. There
are 1875 votes in the solid south ad-
miftedly democratic. The total OF
these two blocks of votes is 2O5
The electoral college contains 531
votes and 266 are required to elect.
To win Coolidge must carry all the
solid republican states of the east
and certain states considered p1votl-
cal such as Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana,
Tennessee and Kansas.
At present Coolidge's nomination is
a certainty. No one is too free with
his predictions as to the fall election.
The Retired Farmer.
Newspaper men hear both sides of
a case more than most people do.
Some people complain about retired
farmers in town, saying that the
r. f. opposes progress. And retired
farmers take occasion at one time or
another to rap other elements say
inc they go too fast, are extravaganza
and wasteful. Both sides have some
thing to their argument.
In general all little country towns
like Lancaster obtain their slow
growth by farmers retiring and NOV
ing in. Such mel buy places and get
on the tax roll. They are self-s, pport-
ing even though they live modeStly.
If it were not for the farmers NOV
inc in most towns would dWlndle TO
nothing.
The CrlClc Oh Iu6 ISI11 GU AS"A AhhOA
ehould bear in mind that this man
represents our only chance to keep
orr population up and to hold our
va1,1atl6r ND. And retired farmers
should bear in mind that water sup
nIv. sewage. electric lights, street
work fire protection and other prlVll-
eyes of city government are nice
things but cost money. You can't run
a municipality as cheap as you can
run a country township

Birth Control.
AS part of his subject "the under
privileged child" DIR. Otto Fielder be-
for the Kiwanis Wednesday touched
nnon birth control as it relates to the
defective adult DR.. Fielder was TALK
ing obviously as an expert along GU
genie lines interested in building up
fhe standard of Amerlcanlsm he
recited that at one Wisconsin lhStl-
tuition years ago female deIectlVe
was detained a while and then releas-
cd Since that time SO of her descen-
dants had been sent to the same lnsCl-
tito, ae imbeciles. In the case of the
Tuxes family 1000 detectives, insane
and criminal descendants had been
traced to moron couple living IN
pennsvlvania several generations ago.
Other instances of like gravity abound'
birth control is not race SUICIDE.
ono thing means the regulation OF
births to produce a selected cIllAehc
shin Another means the repression Oh
ronroduction for cowardly or selnsh
roasons The two things do not COM
mare and are not analogous.
The alarming side of race SUICIDE
is that the best couples, those endowed
tn produce the most lntelllgent on
enring and the best c1tlzens, nGEe
small families or none at all
