Memphis, Tenn, Sept. 12.-(R-
National politics, dormant most of
the summer in the uncertain Volun-
teer state, has come sharply to the
fore since the August primaries.
Until they had sweltcred through
the primary campaigns, Tennes-
scans allowed nothing to interfere
with their own state affairs, but
once their nominees were select
they were off on another campaign.
The democrats got a vigorous
workout in their primary campaign,
during which supporters of two Of
the gubernatorial candidates en-
gagged in heated exchanges, and the
primary itself was marked by sew
eral Memphis newspaper reporters
being roughly handled by policemen
who smashed their cameras. The
reporters had been assigned 10 take
pictures Of negroes voting in the
democratic primary after their pa
pers had charged the machine" was
"herding" negroes to the polls.
Outside of east Tennessee. which
is strongly republican, little atten-
tion was given the republican prim-
ary, but there has been plenty Of
activity since.
The activity has been varied. II
has included the stabbins of the re-
publican gubernat6fial candidate,
Raleigh S. Hopkins of Columbia. by
a fellow party member and the rails
ing of the cry of carpet bag rule"
in party councils. This cry, how
ever, was quickly stilled. There al
50 has been an optimistic statement
from Marion Richardson, campaign
manager for Tennessee, who said
I'VE are very much in earnest about
carrying Tennessee for Hoover and
Curtis and clecting our state ticket y
He promised a vigorous campaign.
There has been no evidence of idle
ness among the democrats, who, ap-
parently certain Of victory for their
state nominees, including Gov. Henry
II. Horton and Sen. Kenneth D. Nc
kellar, have their campaign UNDER
way for Smith and Robinson.
The contact committee" appoint
ed by democratic regional headquar-
ters at st. Louis, is headed by Rep.
Joseph w. Byrns Of Nashville, who
is unopposed for reelection to con-
gress from the sixth district, and
includes both Senator McKellar and
his opponent in the primary, Rep.

migration department is 50 limited in
its scope. The tent which houses
the exhibit should be twice as large
as it is, so that the exhibit itself
could be properly expanded. Instead
of only two men to handle the
crowds (crowds is right, there ought
to be at least four: two to "give the
message" and two more to weed out
the prospective home seekers from
the casual visitors and give them the
more explicit information which they
are seeking.
Doing Great Wonders
But the legislature grants an ap-
preparation of only $4,000 for the
biennial period to carry on this work.
Think of it!-only $4,000 a year to
carry on the most important program
North Dakota has ever undertaken,
Commissioner Devine is doing won-
ders with his little one-horse fund,
but with anything like an adequate
appropriation, the results would be
immeasurably greater.
North Dakotans themselves need
to wake up to the fact that their
state is "all set" to take care of
twice it's present population. We
have the land, we have the schools,
we have the good roads. we have the
fuel and other natural resources
we have the railroad facilities, the
markets. and an ideal climate. But
we need more people to share our. ad-
vantages and to help maintain oul
splendid institutions.
It is entirely safe to say that
10000 persons visited our exhibit
when the itinerary was completed
at Waterloo, Iowa, Sept. Z. Of
those who visited the exhibit, it has
been determined that at least SO pei
cent were farmers.

lit up for moment, "we'll see about
that!"
Miles spent his boyhood in the
shipyards around Passaic, N. j., and
got his first deep-water experience
when he went around the world on
an old square-rigger. Later, when
he had made some money in the con-
tracing business, he returned to his
early hobby. He's married, and Mrs.
Miles was at the dock to see him off
on the world cruise.
"Of course I'm not worried" she
insisted, stoutly. "I'd 60 myself If
it wasn't that heavy seas make me
ill. But I'll be in Los Angeles to
meet him when he lands there next
year."

WHERE THE SOLID SOUTH
FIRST BROKE, IS AGAIN BATTLEFIELD

Finis ]. Garrett, minority leader in
the house. Rogers Caldwell, Nash
vile capitalist, took over the direc-
tion Of finances for the democratic
national and state campaign.
The Women's Christian Temper
ance Union has had some things to
say about "wet" candidates in con-
nection with the national campaign.
Southern presidents Of the w. c. T.
u, meeting a. Chattanooga, adopted
a report that expressed the belief
that with Alfred E. Smith as presi-
dent there would be an immediate
mobilization for repeal Of prohibi-
tion." Officers of the state w. C..
T. U. later issued a statement op-
posing Smith.
While the democrats have found
opposition to the national ticket on
the part of some prohibition fac
tions, all has not been serene in the
republican ranks. During a meet
ing Of the republican executive COM
mittee at tie capitol in Nashville to
canvass the primary votes the gu
bernatorial candidate, Hopkins, was
stabbed in the arm with a pocket
knife by John w. Jackson, a fellow
townsman. The stabbing climaxed
heated argument over a contest
brought in Hopkins home district.
Hopkins was only slightly hurt, but
the committee postponed business
after the incident.
The same day of the Hopkins
jackson scrap, the democratic state
executive committee met and
unanimously adopted a resolution
urging whole-hearted support Of the
democratic ticket from president
to constable" in the November elec-
ton.
Normally the democrats have a
majority ranging from $4,000 to
35, 900 in Tennessee, but there have
been occasions when Tennessee
elected republican governors and in
1920 the state went for Harding,
the first break in the solid south.
Democratic leaders have expressed
no concern over Horizons chances of
victory, nor over the chances of
Senator McKellar to succeed him
self. Mayor James A. Fowler of
Knoxville received the republican
senatorial nomination without q con-
test.
All Of Tennessee's congressman
were renominated except Garrett,
who after IL terms in the house
dropped out of the race for repre-.
sentative to oppose McKellar for the
senatorial nomination. Jere Cooper
received the democratic nomination
from CARROTS district, the ninth.

BY w. C.. TAYLOR


Peoria, ILL.,, Sept. IL. = Here is a
prediction: During the next five
years there will be large migration
Of settlers TO North Dakota from
Iowa and illinois, with substantial
accretions from Wisconsin, Mime
sofa, Indiana, and other states.
From now on land values in North
Dakota will advance steadily until
they reach point somewhat approx
imating their real worth from the
standpoint Of fertility and actual
earning power.
Never again, it is reasonable to
assume, will it be possible to buy un-
cultivated land or improved farms in
North Dakota so cheaply as at the
present moment.
Personal contact with hundreds of
farmers in Iowa and Illinois during
the past month has convinced me
that great numbers Of them are look
ing eagerly to North Dakota as the
most logical and promising field in
which to make new start, and from
which to escape the difficult condi-
tions in their own states.
There is no chance for the average
tenant farmer ever to acquire a
place Of his own anywhere in the
Corn Belt. They all admit that. And
SO they are confronted with the
dreary prospect Of drudging their
lives away as mere tenants and never
realizing the ambition of every nor
NAL man to have home that he can
call his own.
Seeing Is Believing
Now a real message Of hope and
reinsurance is being carried to them
by means Of the North Dakota agri-
cultural exhibit, which is being shown
1T various fairs in those states. For
there is no getting away from the
fact that seeing is believing"
North Dakota might spend thou
sands Of dollars in newspaper ad-
vertising, and send an army of men
into the states east and south Of us
to tell the natives that nearly every
thing they have been taught to be-
lieve about North Dakota is not so,
but it wouldn't be half 50 convincing
as that little exhibit Of what North
Dakota actually produces in the way
Of grains and grasses, fruits and
vegetables. The ocular demonstra-
ton is what counts.
made it a special point to note
the reactions Of the farmers of Iowa
and Illinois who inspected our ex-
hibit, and can testify that it was
most impressive. II never supposed
they could raise fruit like that in
North Dakota!" A regular chorus
Of II never supposed" day after day.
Our main problem is to correct the
absurd notion that North Dakota lies
in the upper reaches of the Arctic
zone, and that it is colder than
Greenland" The exhibit turns the
trick.
The only trouble is that the work
carried on by the North Dakota i'm

Goods Let Ed Spend
! Cash for Amusement

Corvallis, Ore, Sept. 12.-R)-The
college girl spends relatively little
for amusement, Oregon State COL
lege has found. A survey showed
co-eds spend 2.7 per cent Of their
yearly collegiate income for social
life, amusements and kindred things.
Mildred Nye, senior in the college,
who mades the investigation under
the direction Of the faculty, found
THAT the average total amount ex-
pended was $605, excluding that
spent for clothes.
Only .06 per cent is saved, while
one per cent is spent for non-essen-
tials, that ID, things for which the
girls could not account or which
they could have done without.

Wheat turned stubborn after q sharp

in Alberta than expected and cable
claiming Russia needed wheat for
import turned prices upward. Close

Oats were slow and undecided
within a narrow range. Barley fu-
lures dragged, then turned firm.
Rye dipped with wheat, and recov-
cred. Flaxseed futures were strong
on light offerings and a better gen.
eral demand.
Cash wheat offerings were ample
and the market was somewhat un-
settled, but the trading basis in gen.
eral was unchanged. Dry spring

in good demand. High moisture,
especially yellowish types. ruled
quiet.
Winter wheat was in fair to good

Canadian Production Forecast
Believed Underestimate by
Traders

Chicago, Sept. 12.-(AP)-Influ-
enced by the Canadian government
report pointing to the largest crop
on record, wheat prices here tended
downward early today. In SOME
quartersopinions were expressed that
the Canadian production forecast
las an underestimate. Opening &c
to &c off, Chicago wheat later
hoswed but little power to rally.
Corn was irregular, starting at sc
decline to an equal advance, and SUBJ
sequently holding near to the initial
range. Oats were firm. Provisions
showed steadiness.
With Canada officially scheduled
as now harvesting the biggest yield
of wheat ever known in that country,
wheat traders here paid little heed
today to advices of damage which
had been done by frost and hair, or
to word that rain had interfered
with cutting. 1t was acknowledged
that wet grain would be a problem,
but such drawbacks were virtually
ignored for the time being. Bearish
official estimates of the German
wheat and rye crops were also cur
rent.
Corn prices today displayed
uncertainty. On the one
hand, it was pointed out that the es-
timated shrinkage of this years crop
amounted during August to 98,975,-
600 bushels and that last year in
August there was an estimated in
crease of 71,335,O00 bushels, a net
difference of more than170 ,O0O, 900
bushels. On the other hand, if there
is no further shrinkage this years
crop will yet be the largest since
1923, and there have been but six
larger ones in the country's history.
