velously beautiful these are. Aren't
they wonderful There was on his
face an expression of solemn and holy
rapture, as if he were revealing to me
the mysteries of his religion. l be-
came far more Interested in him than
in the socks. looked at him in
Amusement.
+ my friend" said l, "if you can
keep this up, if this is not merely
the enthusiasm that comes from nov
city from having new job, if you
can keep up this zeal and excitement
day after day. in ten years you will
own every sock in the United States"
And then, because l was so pleased
with his attention to me, his desire
to please strange customer. and his
pleasure in his work, l bought twelve
pairs of socks.
My amazement at his pride and joy
in craftsmanship will be easily under
stood by all who read this article.
In many shops the customer has to
wait for someone to wait on him. And
when finally some clerk does deign
to notice you, you are made to feel
as if you were interrupting him.
Either he is absorbed in profound
thought in which he hates to be dis
turbed, or he is skylarking with a
girl clerk, and you feel like apologize
ing for thrusting yourself into such
intimacy.
He displays no interest either in
you or in the goods he is paid to sell.
Yet possibly that very clerk who is
now so apathetic began his career
with hope and enthusiasm. The daily
grind was too much for him; the
novelty wore off; his only pleasures
were found outside of working hours.
He became a mechanical, not an in
spired salesman. After being mechan-
ical, he became incompetent; then he
saw younger clerks, who had more
zest in their work, promoted over him.
He became sour and nourished a
grievance. That is the last stage.
His usefulness was over.
L nave observed CnlS meldncnOiy
decline in the lives of so many men
in so many occupations that l have
come to the conclusion that the sur
est road to failure is to do things
mechanically. There is, for example,
no greater literature in the world
than the Bible, and no more exciting
subject than religion. Yet l have
heard many ministers of the Gospel
read the Bible in their churches with
no interest and no emphasis, whereas
they ought to read it as if they had
just received it by wireless from AL
mighty God. l have heard hundreds
of sermons preached mechanically
with no more appeal than if the
speaker were a parrot. There are
many teachers in schools and col
leges who seem duller than the dull
est of their pupils; they go through
the motions of teaching. but they are
as impersonal as telephone.

milk or tankage or other high pro-
tein feed along with the potatoes.
Oats are not a very good feed to use
along with potatoes because they too
are quite bulky on account of the
heavy hull on them.
You can use potatoes to better ad-
vantage for growing pigs and fatten-
ing hogs than you can for brood
sows. 1t would be all right to feed
some potatoes to brood sows, but 1
would not feed very high percent
age of the feed composed of potatoes
or. you will likely have weak pigs and
sows that will not milk well at far

Potatoes can be used and are used
to considerable extent in hog feed
ing in sections of the country where
they are occasionally very low in
price. AS matter of fact, however,
they are not very good hog feed
and are not worth very much per
bushel as a feed for hogs. Under
normal conditions, with hogs at about
normal prices and grains at about
normal prices, potatoes are usually
not worth more than from 10 to 20
cents bushel as hog feed. They are
more often worth from IL to Is cents
than they are 10 to 20 cents.
Because of the high water content
in potatoes they are too bulky a feed
for hogs and in supplementing them
a rich feed such as corn, barley, or
middlings should be used. 1t takes
about five or six pounds of potatoes
to equal one pound of corn, barley, or
middlings in feed value, so that
if you want to get good gains ON the
hogs you can not use large amount
of potatoes in the ration. The aver
age growing pig weighing from 100
to 200 pounds might eat IL to Is
pounds of potatoes per day along
with three or four pounds of grain,
and do pretty we'll on this ration, but
you would get better gains and
cheaper gains If you would use some

FARMER.LABOR
Senator Shipstead and Trades

Senator Charles Curtis, candidate
of the Republicans for the vice pres
iGency, is Republican leader in the
United States Senate.
Senator Shipstead of Minnesota
held the balance of power between
Republicans and Democrats in the
matter of the organization of the last
Senate. He voted with the Repub-
licans.
When in ST. Paul last week cam
Senator Curtis was asked whether
Senator Shipstead had asked any per.
sonal benefits in return for his vote
1t is known that he did insist on fail
consideration for certain measures
concerning farm relief. injunctiOns in
labor disputes and Investigation OF
the situation in Nicaragua.
Senator Curtis, strict party man
that he is, did not hesitate for q
reply. He said:
Senator Shipstead did not re-
quest any personal benefits in re-
turn for his support i'm aiding us
to organize the Senate.
If Shipstead was a political trader
engaging in deals" for personal ad-
vantage, the organization of the Sen
ate, when he held the balance of pow
err, was the chance of a lifetime. But
Shipstead did the thing that he
thought was right under the circum-
stances and asked nothing for him
self.
He came out of that episode with
the added respect and confidence OF
the Senators of both parties.
Now few people are attempting tC
further the candidacy of Arthur Mel
son for the Senate by trying to make
it appear that Senator Shipstead has
entered into a deal with the Demo
Gratis in this state.
Senator Shipstead has flatly denied
such a story.
Senator Curtis vouches for the fact
that Shipstead didn't even suggest a
deal when he had the best chance
for one any politician had.
The Democratic organization offici-
ally states that Shipstead has enter
ed into no trade with it.
Senator Borah, the biggest gun in
the Hoover campaign in Minnesota to
date, says he will come back and
work for Shipstead if he is needed
Senator Curtis, speaking in st. Paul
for the Republican ticket, forgets to
even mention Arthur Nelson, Ship
steads opponent, by name.
Senator Gerald p Nye, Republican
of North Dakota, a strong Hoover
man, was in Minneapolis recently cam
paigning for Shipstead.
We submit that the repeated efforts
to make it appear that Senator Ship
stead is or has been a party to any
deal with the Democrats are simply
ghost dancing to brighten from the
Senator some of the Republican vot-
ers who believe that his record as an
unusually efficient and effective pub
lie servant calls for his return to
Washington for another term, and
that outstanding Hoover men have ig-
nored it and that Senator Shipstead's
own political conduct bellies it..

White House is leadership. 1t is not
enough that the occupant of the Presi-
acter and high purposes. Many men,
to borrow Roosevelt's phrase, mean
well, but "mean well feebly."
The Chief Executive must have the
ability to lead other men and to sum-
mon to his aid the impelling force of
things done.
Such a leader Governor Smith has
proved himself to be. For these rea-
sons he has my enthusiastic support.
