paper in q well-worded editorial, continues:
TT is making concrete in practical, way the
ideal of community living when the interest of
one is the interest of all. 1t is but step in the
right direction tits fine contrast to the idea,
of thirty years ago that favored few care for

SOUND SENSE TALK BY A FARMER

Chas c. Jordan, farmer from Newcastle,
Pa, will be one of the farmers who will take the
stump in behalf of the candidacy of President
Coolidge Mr. Jordan visited Republican head
quarters last week and talked himself into
whole lot of work.
But he is very enthusiastic about it and is
full of the subject. In fact Mr.. Jordan is said to
be rarin' to go and he will tell the farmers on
which side their bread is buttered.
I'm not theorizing about agriculture" he
said 1--WE put rings into the shouts of hogs, I've
felt the old cows tail slap me in the face while
was milking feed hundreds of cattle; per-
sonally selecting them on the markets of Chi
cago Omaha and other centers.
"When Gen. Dawes made out the budget in
Washington he saved the taxpayers millions of
dollars The less hogging done at Washington
the more hogging down of corn there will be on
the farm.
when the committee headed by General
Dawes, gave to the nations of the old world plan
for the settlement of their financial ills great
service was rendered them and at the same time
to American agriculture. Agriculture has suf-
fered greatly through The last few years for
the lack of foreign markets. When the Dawes
plan is put into practical operation in the old
world the soldiers will leave the camps will get
to work in the mines, factories and shops, will
getmoney and as result will cali for our wheat,
corn, pork, beef, in fact all agricultural pro-
ducts as never before Laws enacted at Wash
ingtOn can render some service to agriculture
and other industries, yet can never be knee high
to the law Of supply and demand. Get the old
world to work and it will take all and more than
our farms can produce at fair profits. Pros
perity will then return to our farms and if to our
farms also to our banks and factories as fat
farms make fat banks and fat factories
What agriculture needs is more horse sense
and less nonsense and hysteria believe that
Calvin Coolidge, born and reared on farm,
raking and pitching hay less than one year ago,
will have more real sympathy and actual rene
dy for the farmer than the Wellmeaning dream
er looking from the middle of the road or fence
| have equal faith in Dawes for what he has al
ready done to open the markets of the old world
and put its affairs on acomnon sense basis"
Referring to that part of Senator Pat har-
rison's keynote speech in the Democratic con-
vention in which the southern senator said the
tariff on wool is an evil which must be re-
moved, I" Mr.. Jordan said:
When was boy they took the tariff off
wool while Grover Cleveland was president and
it took the sheep off of fathers farm and was
compelled to wear my fingers off digging to fin
ish school.
Coolidge and Dawes have the brains and
backbone to do for the people what they need.
In these fitful, frenzied times we need at the
head of affairs in Washington, a team of YER
tebrates."
