More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A VAIN QUEST

In the days before oil could be pumped
from the ground
To employ in some millions of ways
In the days when young women were
girdled and bound
In the armored devices called stays
The whale was a creature of very great
worth
And vessels went cruising about
To find on what spots on the aqueous
earth
He mostly was prone to hang out.
But oil is remarkably easy to find
And for myriad uses is sold,
And the waists of young women as
little confined
AS they we're in the stone age of old
No more is there need of cetacean fat
Nor the sinuous bone of the whale
To render the feminine figure so flat
That it bends like a reed in gale
One would think that now whales are
no longer in need,
That no longer would any one care
In what regions of ocean they go for
their feed
Or to lash their great tails in the
air.
One would think, as we have little use
for their bone
And still less for their deck loads OF
grease
That it might be more kindly to let
them alone
And afford them a blessed release.
Yet scientists still, we are told, are
distressed
Because there seems no way to know
Where, for food, recreation, or Slumber,
or rest
These useless leviathans go.
Mine is only the view of an ignorant
bard
I'll be scorned and derided, no doubt,
But think that these fellows are
hunting too hard
For something to worry about!
DEFINITION
A national politician is a man who
is always seeking for new issues to
dodge.
EXPLAINED
Anybody who has drunk an apple
jack cocktail can understand what
happened to Adam.
MYSTERY
We can't understand the craze to
break into the senate. The show isn't
worth the price of a seat.

Got a Kick

Mrs. Jones had been selected from
several aunts to take Donald to the
zoo. She was perfectly satisfied, as
she always enjoyed being with DON
aid. He was soft-voiced boy OF
three with curly hair, sparkling eyes
and sunny smile.
The smile was much in evidence
as they made their tour OF the ZOO.
More than one animal provoked the
childs laughter.
But when they got to the lions
cage the beast was carrying on SO
angrily that Mrs. Jones expected her
nephew to be frightened. Up and
down paced the tawny animal shak-
ing his head from side to side, swish
ing his tail against the iron bars
of the cage. And suddenly he let
out a believing roar that shook the
building. The aunt was terrified.
"Nice kitty" gurgled Donald, his
sunny smile breaking forth again.

ANOTHER MOVE IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Mr.. and Mrs. M. H. Sandager, ac-
companied by Mr.. and Mrs. Harry
MOntiel, autoed to Hixon, Wisconsin
last week, where Mr.. Sandager and
Mr.. Montiel attended an auction sale
OF cattle In which they were very
much interested as they wanted to
stock the Sandager farm which Mr..
Montlel is to manage on 5000 bas-
is the coming year. Here they sell
ected sixteen of the best in this ac-
credited herd Of purebred Holstein-
F'riesian cattle, occupying high place
in the Cow Testing Association, and
recognized by the National Dairy
Association as Merit Herd. Aver
aging 300 lbs. or over butterfat per
year. Mr.. Montiel brought the ami
mails back shipping to Seaforth, ar
irving Friday evening and bringing
the cattle, eleven cows and five heif-
ers to their new location here on
Saturday.
When Mr.. Sandager has finished
the improvements he has planned
for the dairy ranch, it will be one of
the most modern in the vicinity.
Messrs. Sandager and Montiel are
planning for heavy production of
butterfat and dairy stock and with
the modern equipment they will be
able to get the maximum results
from their splendid herd of Holstein-
Friesians at the smallest investment
of time, labor and feed. The adding
in the Belview community this fine
herd of cattle is worthy of special
mention. In these days of high
prices of butter and cheap prices of
feed, it is to be noted that gentlemen
back of this start in the purebred
dairy business is a move in the right
direction.
Surely dairying is without a ques-
ton the most profitable branch of
diversified farming if done properly.
Besides it is the most dependable
crop that can be produced. When a
fairly good cow fresh in winter time
will yield to its owner from Sill to
$14 per month, and the best cows can
be made to yield from $14 per month |

and upwards, according to the care
given them, it really seems strange
that farmers don't turn more rapidly
to the dairy business. Every farm
er should own from fifteen to fifty of
the best cows money can buy. 1t would
be as safe an investment as govern
ment bonds and ten times more prof
liable.
1t would not be at all surprising
to see butterfat go up to sixty cents
before January first as there is a
shortage of about twenty-five mil
lion pounds of butter in the country.

WASHINGTON, March 3Her- bert c. Hoover's campaign man. akers have set out to keep him in the Republican Presidential Pri- mary in Maryland and out of that in Wisconsin, at the same time there is renewal of agita- tion of Chairman Hilles, of the Republican National Commit. tee for the renomination of Cool idge and the demand by Gov. Adam McMullen. of Nebraska, that the Republicans nominate the known. friend of the farmer.
 From Indianapolis came word of the doubt as to the legality of the papers filed there in Hooyer's behalf because they failed to spe- cify which Presidential nomina- tion he seeks. There is still time to qualify, Hoover supporters said.
 Hoover's name has been filed in Wisconsin by Morton Hunter but the Hoover men expressed confidence he will be persuaded to withdraw the petitions because Hoover has no organization in Wisconsin.
