ut is not likely that good corn land will ever

made by Guy Huston, of Chicago, one OF the
principal farm loan bankers of the United States
Mr.. Huston says that in 1916 corn syrup was ex-
ported in pints and gallons, but now it is SHIP

that '.the use of corn oil, starch, sugar ana
other corn products is increasing by leaps and

four bumper crops Mr.. Huston says no surplus
If corn remains, and that there is prospect OF
a shortage of ten per cent in this years crop
One of his most interesting observations is tnae

shared by that part Of the business world that
has watched the development OF manufacturing

Judge Kenesaw Mountain Lands told the
Legion boys at st. Paul that the person who
Stacked on voting should be given Jail sentence
the second time it happened. We heard Judge
Wade Of Iowa make practically the state
ment at the meeting of the NJ F. w. C. at Ex-
celsior. He even went step farther, saying
that one of the things that keeping him on
the bench was the hope that some time he would
be privileged by law to thus sentence men who
failed to protect the Constitution of the United
States. When established jurists feel that the
time has come to resort to such treatment it is
time for the rest of us to come to the conclusion
that failure to vote is actually CRIME.

EcTR1c1TY MAKES GEOGRAPHY

-HE Nations economic life is changing, as
is shown by the fact that the Atlantic
4 coast as a producing section, now rates at
ffty-two per cent; the Mississippi Valley at
fortv-one per cent: and the Pacific coast and
Mountain States at seven per cent. The Mlssls-
sippi Valley produced only nineteen per cent OF
the country's needs in 1850. Steam and cleo
tricitv have revolutionized the transportation
facilities of the country and in consequence there
has been great gain in the development OF FAC
tories close to the source of raw products. While
electricity has built the large cities it has at
the same time shown the factories the way out
into the country. 1t is pointed out that whereas
most of the big magazines were printed in New
York City ten years ago that these big printing
plants are now being located in the smaller
places The same is true of many other indus
tries and the desire to lessen the cost OF over
head" is changing production methods. The
cotton industry has drawn manufacturing plants
to the South. The steel industry has changed
its base of operation and this is also true regard
and the paper mills. Hydro-electric power is
beginning to do its part in revolutionizing the
location of industries, and in consequence our
economic geography is changing rapidly. When
power can be brought two hundred miles or more
over electric cables it is naturally much easier
to transport it than it is to whole manu-
featuring plant or town to the side of a
stream, or to place where it is easy to get up
steam. Besides, see the freight it saves.

'Them as know say that Redwood Falls has
the makin's this fall of the best football team
the high school has had for many, many years.
Now what are we going to do about 1T? The
bows and their coach are all but working their
heads off to get in trim for the seasons play, and
if anv one is doubtful of their intention he has
only to attend one of the after-school practices
at the fair grounds to see just how serious OF
purpose they are. There probably isn't anyone
in the cty-at least we hope there is no one
who doesn't believe that school athletics are
very important part of the schools curriculum.
We needn't go into detailed discussion of that
right now. But, granted that have the mat
erial for good team, that we have persever-
ing and thoroughly qualified coach and that the
bows are determined to make a name for their
town and their school, we, adult citizens out
side of that little school circle have real share
in this matter. We can give the team moral
support of course, but unless we back that up
by financial and attendance support those boys
are never even going to guess that we are back
ing them. Certain business and professional
men whom we have every reason to assume are
about as busy as the rest of US, spending
hours each week in helping the coach to train
the team and its under studies. We who have
ability TO nelp In CnlS way, dC IedSG W Jul
share by buying tickets and ATTENDING games.
Every business place in town can, by little
planning, be represented by at least one person
at each game. Other towns do it and there is
no reason why we can't. If employee were
sick Saturday afternoon he would stay at home
and the rest of the staff would shoulder his work.
Let's just pretend that one Tor more) of in each
business is sick whenever there is game on the
local grid and send the who is i'll to the
game. Then the next time it will be his privilege
to stay at home and do double duty. We main
tain it can be done even on a-Saturday. And
when games are scheduled for other days it will
be comparatively simple matter for larger
numbers to attend. Those kids are pretty hui
man-they will only guess that we are for them
when we are WITH them. Sunday athletics are
not the thing for high schools and we should be
sorry ever to see them retrograde as to be
featured on that day. But the youngsters argue
that "crowds always come on Sunday. 1t is
our work to get them away from the idea that
crowds come ONLY on Sunday. 1t isn't enough
just to buy ticket. Buy one and see that it is
used. If each one of us is responsible for seeing
that one ticket is put in service at each game
the rest win be easy.

John E. Casey, editor of the Jordan Ind

Senator Magnus Johnson delivered speech al
lere is Casey's comment on the speech:
AS vaudeville attraction in buffoon-
cry, the speech was a high class number
on the afternoons program. The hon
orable gentleman removed his coat, show
ing that he wears galluses and there
fore must be friend of the common
people, by heck!
1t was worth taking halliday off to
go see and listen to as a clown act.
In the way of being speech it was
so bad it was good. The Hon. Magnus
is amusing and comical, good-natured
and as he himself says "full of horse
sense" One is reminded of that old re-
frain-
l never laughed so hearty
In the course of all my life,
AS when l saw McCarty

Bank deposits in the United States have in
creased billion dollars during the last four
months. Federal statistics show that individual
thrift seems to be supplanting swift living to
such an extent as to permit many of our citizens
to lay by considerable money in the bank. Of
course this does not mean that all people have
money in the bank, but the extra billion does
distribute itself among many people.

Ere ones eyes he could close,
He must read the days record through.
Then wouldn't one sigh,
And wouldn't he try

Would be smoother in life's tangled thread,
If one-half that we say

Were left forever unsaid.

to the country is beginning which promises to
be the greatest shifting of population since the
institution of the railroad"

What farmer, whose farm is worth $4,000,
wants to have a lien of $4,000 slapped on, if

ownership of railroads? Better think it
before voting for La Toilette for president and

Negro Problem Cannot be
Solved Under Capitalism

who has been elected judge is plain
sophistry and buncome intended to
fool and humbug the mass Of Negro
workers.
Negro Workers VIII BE No Better OF.
The political economical and social
condition of the Negroes of the Unit
ed States will not be bettered one iota
by Negro being elected to any Of
flee on the capitalist political parties.
1t is known fact that the most abb
iect slave, when given power, makes
the worst tyrant and Negroes are no
exception to this rule. Irish people
and Negroes who are both badly OBJ
pressed when placed in a position Of
authority, become the worst oppres-
sors. Irish and Negro policemen are
the worst DULLES in uniform. Negro
workers must learn that the only pos
sible way which they can do away with
the evils under which they suffer is
by joining hands and uniting with the
white revolutionary and class con
scious workers, to destroy and do
away with the present iniquitious CAPT
talist system Of wage slavery which
contains germs of all the evils under
which Negroes suffer.
This will be the sane and sensible
way for the Negro workers to better
their lot and not by electing some
Negro politician to office in order that
the Negro politician, along with the
white ones, may draw big salary and
smoke fat cigars, while the mass Of
Negro workers are mercilessly ex.
plotted.
