WASHINGTON Letter
Dy " ODaley

Washington, October 1.-THE COM
mon phrase used in official life in
Washington these days to designate
the effect of the political campaign is
ito be considered after November g."
1t is the invariable answer to requests
for governmental action or patronage.
In other words, the machinery of the
government is revolving but getting
nowhere until the elections are over.
Numerous stratagems are used to
evade action until the fateful day, but
any one conversant with political af-
fairs knows full well why Washington
"is marking time. The campaign
leaders are fretting over the possible
effect of some minor officials creating
an issue not now on the books.
Political observers who have been
sounding out sentiment in various
sections of the country report a con-
dition of affairs which the average
partisan overlooks. 1t is reliably re-
ported that there is very little betting
on the Presidential race. Whatever
bets have been placed are noticeably
lacking in "long-shots" or great odds.
While strong partisans are claiming
victories for their particular candi-
dates in public and private utterances
it is significant that they are not al
ways willing to back up their party's
zeal and wishes with money. When
all the hopes and aspirations are
sifted unbiased observers say that
the Presidential contest is one of per-
plexity and uncertainty.

features in this years show and pos
sibly special premiums will be Of

f, is missing this year. Delegations
are coming to Washington headquart-
ers to greet Mr.. Hoover and to after
wards treasure group photograph OF
the nominee surrounded by well-wish-
ers. The Misunderstanding campaign
which characterized Mr.. Harding's
efforts have been played down by Mr..
Hoover and his advisors. Governor
Smith has been on the road to such an
extent that there has been little OPP
portunity for Democratic supporters
organizing visiting parties for the ex-
ecutive mansion at Albany. An ex-
PLANTATION given for the change in
campaign methods is that the radio
has developed in recent years so that
the voices of the nominees are brought
to millions and personal visits are
not necessary.
Washington, wise to politicians on
parade, smokers at speeches of GER

The towA knows that when the heat
of the campaign is over the Senators
and Representatives who have been
engaged in party ballyhoo will take
stock of their partisan extravagances
in anticipation of legislative debates
in which they may be called upon to
swallow their own prediction state

the careers of prominent national leg

Tractor Tested in a Siren.
uOuS Workout Before
Sold to Farmer

Editors Note-The following article
taken from recent issue of the
Literary Digest, tells how the farmer
is benefited by progressive legisla-
ton in Nebraska.
After developing long list of me-
chanical ailments, the tractor brought
its general unreliability to a climax
by stopping dead, with final splut-
ter, and staying that way. The farm
er fumed and ragged, but that was all
he did-except go back to horses
This was in Nebraska before 1919.
But there came a day when a de-
fective tractor fell into the hands of
a farmer who thought little more
deeply than the rest He had the
customary experience and did the
customary fussing. But he did more
and the fact that he was state
legislator helped him. The result
was the Nebraska Embarrassing bill,
we are informed by Emil G. Chaser in
the Omaha WOrld-Herald. Of this
Legislation, Mr.. Chaser writes:
The bill was passed, and Nebraska
went into the business of testing
tractors. 1t was the first and is still
the only state in the Union doing so.
The work has had far-reaching eff
fects, and the influence of these tests
almost Immediately eliminated all
inferior makes of tractors from the
market.
The Nebraska tractor law became
effective July Is, 1919. The law pro-
vides that a tractor of each model
sold in the state of Nebraska shall be
tested and passed by board of three
engineers under the management Of
the Department of Agricultural En-,
cheering of the University of Ne
braska College of Agriculture.
Each company, individual, or dealer,
offering tractor for sale in Nebraska
must have a permit issued by the
State Railway Commission. The per-
nit is issued after a stock tractor of
that model has been tested at the
university and the performance of the
tractor compared with the claims
made for it by the manufacturer
Each company must have a service
station with full supply of replace

Weekly Market Review
Shows Crop Estimates,
Shipments and Prices
Generally r ed u c e d;
Many Lines Decline.

A slowing-down process was &C.
curing in the fruit and vegetable
market Prices were mostly lower
than the week before, partly as a rea-
son of recent liberal arrivals. With
the exception of apples, grapes and
citrus fruit, carlot movement of near
ly all lines decreased. Output of
grapes and apples each exceeded
10000 cars, and combined forwardings
of 80 leading products reported the
seasons highest total of $4,000 cars.
October crop reports showed lighter
production of the staple lines than
was expected in September. The fig
ures for peaches and pears were
raised.
Changes for Potatoes.
The October potato crop report for
Maine was raised slightly to 3S,046,-
600 bushels, which places that state
well above Minnesota, with 36,90O,-
900. The only other important in
creases in production estimates dur
ing September We're for the Dakotas,
Nebraska, Utah, Oregon, and Cali
fornia. AS a result of blight and
other field troubles, the forecast in
Wisconsin was reduced by 100000
bushels and that in Minnesota was
cut by 100000 bushels. Nearly g.
100000 bushels were taken off the
previous estimate for Colorado, and
Pennsylvania suffered a decrease of
at least 100000 bushels. The Oc-
tober report still showed six states
with estimates ranging between 3d.
100000 and 3S,OOO,OOO bushels Maine,
New York, Pennsylvania, Michigan,
Wisconsin and Minnesota. Slightly over
2O,OOO,OOO are expected in Idaho, &c.

Walberg, Pine Boy, One of
BasebaU's Great Pitchers
George E. "Rube" as He
is Called, Was Born and
Raised in This County,
Has Played League
Ball Five Years.
NOW WITH ATHLETICS

Pine county is being singly honored
and advertised all over the United
States when it is mentioned that
George E. "Rube" Walberg came from
here. For, although he is compare
lively new in the ranks of the big
leagues, he has carved an enviable
record for himself. George Moriarty,
manager of the Detroit baseball club,
says, "Walberg is one of the greatest
lefthanders of the last twenty years. -
and this is saying much when one
considers the many southpaws that
have made records for themselves on
the mound.
Leaned Baseballward as Boy.
George E. Walberg was born of
Swedish parents back on the 9th day
of July in 1897, and from the start
took more than a passing interest in
baseball. He was born on a farm
near the Greeley postoffice, which is
now served by a Braham route. His
birthplace is located about miles
west of Rock Creek and about 10
miles southwest from Pine City. When
16 years of age, he played on the
Greeley community baseball team and
many other teams in later years,
gradually working his way upward in
the baseball kingdom. FIVE years
ago, at the age of 26 and standing
6 TT. 2 inches, he started in fast COM
pany with the Portland, Oregon, team
of the Pacific Coast league, after
playing semi-professional baseball
here and there together with playing
on one of two teams, selected by
Spaulding, for the purpose of intro
ducing baseball in Japan. He re-
