In fact, I believe a lot Of our So
called Communists would be salts
fled with u present form of gov
eminent if we would only take a
lot of the bunk out of it-and the
de-hunking process will come just as
soon as we ommon people begin de-
handing efficiency in government.
We want to issue q word of warm
ing. Don't talk to Harry Sparkling,

The Producers-Ne asks the
question: "Why is the Herald print

a simple question! And, here's our
answer Undoubtedly for about the
same reason that the Producers
News printed the Special Edition"
four years ago attacking the record
of Senator b. X. Wheeler. Just an
other print job for which somebody
was prepared to pay!
A Sheridan cunty farmer who is
a candidate for office, one who has
lived here lorg enough to know, told
us the other day that he wondered
sometimes il the farmers of this
county ever stopped to think how
many times they had been the vic
Tins of political rackets? First, he
said, at was the Non-partisan
League land for which I shelled out
my S18 along with the rest), then it
was the Farmer-Laborites; then the
Progressive Farmers, then along
came T0a nley again with his drip
ping wet racket; then came the
United Farmers eff Ameriea-but it
didn't sem te work so hard, so they
just quit giving it any high-filutin'
titles, a~d called it Communism"
Yes, and we'd say each racket" Of
fered less to the farmer who did the
"shelling out" than the one before!

is, that in the bigness Of then
hearts and that splendid spirit of
generosity which pervades all peo-
pie alike along about this time of

legal services to the burdened tax

CAMPAIGN CHATTER

1t doesn't bake one long to get
"all fed up" with political buncombe
this year. With the papers full OF
it, with the radio SO saturated that
it becomes about impossible to listen
to anything but q political lecture,
and with all the street corner prog
nosticators ready TO bet their last
dollar (that is the last one they
had) on their tavorite candidate, we
just get to the place where we pray
for relief.
And, how they throw the mud this
year Seems to me like both the Re-
publican and Democratic leaders are
stopping to pretty small tactics
when they become engaged in such
a mud-slinging campaign. 1t sort of
makes one think before he gets
through that he'll just vote forEthe
man they throw the most mud at
because he was the under-dog.
D.
There are just a lot of good peo-
pie in Sheridan enl..ty that think
they're Communists, but who are no
more Communists than | am. In the
first place, they're too sensible, and
in the second place they nave too
good a sense of humor. Like one |

FORD PLANS IMPROVE
OUTLOOK FOR STEEL
BY the Associated Press.

CLEVELAND, February 15.-Henry
Ford's decision to make an eight as
well as a four-cylinder car is helping
stem bearish sentiment in the steel in
dustry, but came too late to arrest a
decline in production, the magazine
Steel said.
I'm December, Ford took quotations
on a substantial tonnage Of finished
steel, but weakness which has developed
since-ascribed in part to the lack Of
Ford business-necessitates new ten

inquiry by Ford, expected shortly, may
impose a severe strain on the current
effort to stabilize steel prices.
1T will be March, at the earliest, be-
fore steel again moves to Ford in VOL
ume. but with the Ford competition
known, other low-price car manufac-
turers can more accurately gauge their
markets and steel requirements
The Ford announcement, while not
accompanied by actual order. has meas
ureably cleared the atmosphere at De-

Wheat Price Prospect.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The to 2 cent advance in hard VIM
ter wheat prices may reflect, in meaa-
ure, the credit expanding efforts by
Congress. but in such a typically ex-
port product domestic values eventually
must depend on world markets
Although belief exists in some quar-
terS that readjustment is under way be-
tween American and foreign markets.
with the former falling and the latter
rising, it is said the domestic price still
is 10 cents a bushel out of line and
that most of the export trade in North
American grain is going to Canada
improvement in European quotations,
however, is taken as tacit admission
that values there have been too low.

passed the showing is remarkably fine one.
New assurances of over S527OOO,OOO, and a
total in force exceeding $4,000 100000 are figures
so great to need emphasis.
The distribution of business is inter-
estins. Canada contributed $l0l 100000 United
States S29l 100000, Great Britain S50,OOO,OOO
and the rest of the world $85OOO,0OO.
Our mortality experience has been more
favourable than that of last year, the claim being
but 543 per cent of the expected against $40
per cent. in 1880.
Since business was commenced in 1871 we have
paid out in benefits S594OOO,OOO. Last year alone
our payments were S930OO,0O0, amount
exceeding the total assurance written in 1922
