SENATE CHANGES AND
 COMING lSSU ES

Comment upon the "retrement" of Senator Underwood of Alabama from public life in many instances gives the impression that the Ala bama senator is to be through at once. The facts are his present term will not expire until March 1, 1927, and much politics will be played between now and then.
 But the announcement of the re- tlrement of the democratic war horse will have the effect of cur tailing his influence in the party. Politicians are not likely to pay as much attention to senator who they know will retire at the end of his term as they would 10 one keep ing his hat in the ring, as most of them have the urge 10 do.
 Senator Underwood has been re- garded as the leader of the con- seryative Democrats. These, then, will lose an influential leader when he returns to private life, giving the more liberalized or radical Democrats headed by Senators Sim mons of North Carolina an oppor- tunity to cut greater sWaths in the party,
 On one important issue before Congress Mcssrs. Underwood and Simmons violently disagree. Sena- tor Underwood agrees with Secre- tary Mellon and the administration that surtaxes should be cut, while Senator Simmons is strongly op- posed" thinking the chief rcduc- ton shoull be 10 aid the small tax 1 payers" if there are any such.

Fewer Separately Owned Farms
Than Back in 1920.

Madison With the farm census
practically complete, indications are
that fewer separately owned farms
are operated in Wisconsin now than
in 1920 when the last census was
taken, in the opinion Of Paul Nyhus,
federalstate agriculture statistician
here
The amount Of land under cultiva-
ton is probably about the same, Mr.
Nyhus said, but since 1920 some
farmers have left their farms to be
worked by neighbors. Where this
has happened one farm is registered
in the present census where two were
enumerated in the last counting.
Sandy areas in the central and
other parts of the state may show
some deserted FARMS" Mr.. Nyhus
said The poor farming conditions
caused them to leave their land and
in cases where land is poor, it prob
ably is not worked by anyone"
Approximately $4,000 farms were
enumerated in the 1920 census, while
indications are that the numbers this
year may not be higher than $4,000,
according to Mr.. Nyhus.
Between $4,000 and 10000 farms
were enumerated in the 10 counties
in southern Wisconsin comprising
the district in which the census was
under direct charge Of the Stats
tician's office. In the southwestern
part of the state, a large number of
farms per county win probably be re-
corded, Mr. Nyhus said, while in cen
trial and northern Wisconsin where
the farms are more spread out,
much smaller number per county may
be expected.

Denth Of Doc Marvin.

Chas (DoeD Marvin, a familiar
figure Ii this vicinity for many years,
died Wednesday afternoon at Run
stroms hospital following a short
illness that was brought on by a
stroke of apoplcxy
The past few years Mr.. Marvin, a
retired veterinary surgeon, has been
employed by the city as caretakei
at the tourists park at Lake Lavina
lie was So years old and is believed
to have a son living in Indiana.
Mr. Marvin was Civil war veteran
but was never able TO furnish
evidence enough TO satisfy govern
ment officials that he served in the
Civil war and was entitled to a pen
sion. He claimed to have lost his
discharge papers and for many
years ondeavored TO convince the
government that he was entitled to a
pension by furnishing it with various
incidents IN connection with the
battles he took part in, naming his
company etc, but the government
claimed that he could not be granted
a pension ON account of the records
of his service not being clear.

A LITTLE TALK ON THRIFT
By s. W. STRAUS
President of American Society for Thrift

Commendable organized education
al efforts now are being made to
safeguard individuals against losses
through fraudulent investments.
Current events emphasize the need
for more intensive thrift education
through the press as well as in the
school room. There are thousands
who have made the start by saving
money, but unfortunately their
thrift education has gone no further.
As a result, one reads in the papers
almost daily of the exposure of
individuals Who have despoiled the
cherished savings that grew penny by
penny through the years. No
greater tragedies appear on the pages
of fiction than many Of the stories
of these misguided persons whose
lifetime accumulations are swept
away.
1t is unfortunate that in much of
the so-called thrift work in this
country encouragement has been
given only to the saving of money.
One cannot, of course, say aught of
such advice, excepting that it does
not go far enough.
Let the nation learn the words of
Lincoln that economy begins with
saving money" but let US emphasize
the fact that Lincoln made use of
the word begin
Saving money is only the begin
ming of thrift.
Judging by the reports in the news
papers from day to day, there is a
rising tide Of INSCRIPTIONS practices
based on insufficient popular know
ledge of personal economics and the
principles Of safe investment.
As much attention should be
given to teaching prudent methods of
spending and investing money as is
given to the teaching of correct
methods of saving it,
1t is matter of qualification that
more attention now is to be given to
the processes Of safeguarding what
has been saved.
The functions of earning, saving
and spending are of equal inn
portance.
