mi HE McNary- Haugen bill in both
II Houses Of Congress Is a sop to
IL the farmer vote, and. would
never be suggested seriously except
that an election Is impending.
It seeks to convince the farmers 1t
will give them in prices the same re-
turns for their crops in comparison
with other prices they got from 1905
to 1914.
1t establishes in Washington an Ag-
-iculturaI Export Commission and an
Agricultural Export Corporation to
handle the crops which are controlled
in price by the fact we have a sur
Plus which has to go on the foreign
market, so far as those crops are pro-
duced by large voting population.
Fundamentally, 1t proposes to dump
/ on the foreign markets any surplus
we have at any price which the au-
/ thortties can get, and raise the price
at home TO the average ratio with
| other prices which obtained from 1905
to 1914.
Products Left Out
But 1t covers nothing which the
farmer sells except wheat, corn. raw
cotton. wool. cattle, sheep and swine,
and then only while the domestic
price is determined by. the world.
1t leaves out every other prod
uct. 1t might as well leave raw cot
ton out, since the boil weevil viii see
| to 1t cotton is never lower as to other
commodities than the ratio of 1906
/ 1914 II leaves out all our fruit crops,
probably because fruit producers have
fewer votes. Yet, no producers are In
worse condition than the apple grow
ers. or moro dependent on the for
eign market, or more plagued by a
surplus.
II 1t works, it will act afflrmatively
in the direction of forcing farmers to
specialize in wheat, corn. cattle, sheep
and hogs. It viii offer a premium. If
It works, in favor of just those
things. It win be powerful anti
diversifleation medicine. And yet d.
versification is what the farmer
should practice.
l. Advantage to Foreigners
This law win give foreign countries
American food products cheaper than
Americans can bury them This viii
be an advantage to all foreign coun-
tries in competition with us. While
It tries to avoid killing off cooperation
among American farmers, it takes
away all the advantages of coopera-
ton and thus will kill off the most
hopeful movement we have.
It is, in my opinion, thoroughly
bogus measure. If it works, it will
put the farmer helplessly in the hands
of the Government and take his af-
fairs out Of his own hands.

To che Editor Of The Times
The Teapot Dome is the latest fad.
People are going Teapot mad.
At first old King Tut had the stage.
Then Nah Jongg was all the rage.
Now Teapot Dome is all you hear,
Here and there, yes, far and near,
Teapot earrings are worn by our
girls,
The next thing to have are Teapot
curls.
The Teapot haircuts are very fine,
But give me the same old way for
mine.
Teapot chairs are yet to be made.
Teapot rugs are yet to be laid.
But sooner or later, they'll have
them all,
Even to Teapot spring and Teapot
fall >
VINO started the fad? We wish
to ask.
Whoever he was, he had a task.
But we'd like to know just one
thing more,
How much tea does this Teapot
pour?
Your fancy Teapots may be sublime,
But give me the same old kind for
y mine.
Is 1t a Government matter or what?
We've heard yes, quite a lot,
About this Teapot Dome.
At business, pleasure and at home.
But never could we just find out
What the whole thing really is
about
Please try to give an answer clear,
OF the question we have asked you
here.

What Is a. trade wind7

A trade wind is wind blowing more
or less steadily toward the thermal
equator and detected westwardly by
the eastward rotation of the earth.
Such finds are primarily produced by
the upward current of heated air at
the equator, and vary considerably in
their position and in their direction,
according to tn eseason of the year
and the influence Of the surface OF the
land in different regions. They are
steadfast in the southern hemisphere

JUST FISH STORIES
'sgs :eGGseesssggsegee


Overcoats and mittens can he
used lately in the taking of game
fish in this section. Not as a lure
but as protection to the doue htv
nimrod who crosses his legs in a
boat and lets the wind whistle
through his BVDs. And that
wind, bullieve me, is sure cold at
times. Monday it showed a small
bit and at that it did not damien
the ability of several fellows from
landing their fish. Better and
balmier weather is promised all off
September and October, and the
big fins are sure beginning to hop
to the lure.
Ask Arthur Kornreich,, agent
for the Standard Paper COMPANY
Of Milwaukee what he thinks of
the big boys that inhabit Big Bass
lake east of town. Sunday he
landed a IL pound walleye, a sure
prize beauty. This together with
the 10 pound Great North
ern Pike he was connected with
several weeks ago in this same
lake, has placed him in the front
ranks, He was accompanied here
over Sunday by George Gruetz-
macher, H. G. Roemer and Mr.
Dengel, all Of Merrill. They vouch
for Kornreich's fish.
A party of Milwaukee fisher
men, camped on Scattering Rice
lake and headed by George Hell
muth, landed a 1912 pound musky
from that lake last week.
Fred S. Arnold Of Chicago, guest
from the Morey, shipped yester-
day to his home a twenty pound
muskellunge, taken from the
chain of lakes near the above re-
sort.
Frank Dlldlne, superintendent
of dams for the Wisconsin Valley
Improvement company while in
vestigating the tearing away of
the old dam on Lac Vieux Desert
lake Saturday, discovered so
pound muskellunge caught in the
gate of the dam. 1t was alive and
apparently uninjured and was
given to Jeff Henderson by Mr..
Dildine.
