Note on a Forgotten Man

This concerns forgotten man who was
remembered.
About six and half years ago, A. J..
Livingston, an aged retired farmer of Spen-
Ger, Iowa, leaped into prominence by betray-
ing the usually sauve and genial Charley
Curtis into display of temper. Curtis was
making a speech in behalf of the Hoover
Curtis ticket at Spencer in the 1928 cam
paign, when Mr.. Livingston rose to heckle
him with number of embarrassing ques-
lions. The speaker answered the first ques-
ton or two affably enough, then grew angry
and told Mr.. Livingston he was "too damned
dumb to understand"
The phrase became quite feature of
the campaign in the middle west, and then
went into the file of forgotten things. Mo-
mentous events crowded it out of mind.
Hoover and Curtis were elected, with the
votes of farmers to help swell their MAORI
ty. There followed the boom of 1929, then
the crash, and finally the nation started
down the long, long trail of depression. An
other campaign ensued and another admin
istration came into power, one which has
sought solution of the farm problem through
novel, not to say startling measures.
But Mr.. Livingston wasn't completely
forgotten. Last week, j. S. Russell, farm
editor of the Des Moines Register, recollect-
ed him and decided to investigate the pres
ent state of his dumbness. He found things
had been going from bad to worse with the
gentleman during the intervening years.
They reached the point where Mr.. Living
ston was about to lose his fine 375-acre
farm Then the tide turned. Last Decem-
Der he applied to the Federal Land bank
at Omaha for loan. The loan has just been
granted, Ia thousand dollars at four and one
quarter per cent, with 361s years to pay,
and a seven thousand dollar commissioner
loan at five per cent with 13 years to pay.
What is more, rising farm prices, along
with corn-hog benefit payments, have re-
stored to Mr.. Livingston confidence in abili-
ty to discharge the obligation as it falls due.
And what does Mr.. Livingston think of
it all? He would like to see the administra-
ton more imitation minded, but I guess a
fellow would have to be mighty dumb not to
understand that the farmer is getting help
from deal of this kind" says he.-Omaha
World-Herald.

toned attitude when thinking.
He seemed to have forgotten

"Oh, Stephen!"
Hester, listen" His voice
held a note of entreaty. "Trues-
dale has asked me to go back
up-country, because he can trust
me to handle a difficult Situa'
ton. It doesn't look very big
on the face of it, but it is"
"Where?" Hester hardly spoke
above a whisper.
They say I'm the only one
who can get anything out OF
Ho," he answered. "You know
he resigned a few years ago, but
they think he'd work again

after yourself?"
II can't do anything else, if
they've asked me, can I? OF
course, if I do this for them, the
Company won't let me down"
Conflicting emotions held Hes.
ter. She felt her only weapon
fall from her hands. There was
no escape. The Company was
too big to oppose.

The small steamer used in the
last lap of Stephens journey
was nearing its destination.
Stephen was the only passenger.
They had crossed the border
Of the province now. Uneasiness
grew within him. In paddy
square after paddy square, last
years Stubble stood in monot-
onouS unrelief.
Viewing the neglected fields,
Stephen felt terribly alone. How
futile was his coming!
Late in the afternoon he saw
the great gray tanks of the
Company. After a little, as the
steamer came in line with the
city, he saw the four-Storied
hong, the Narrow House, rear
ing itself above the city. And
suddenly he saw that Ho stood
upon the pontoon, waiting for
him.
AS they walked together the
few steps across the bund to the
hong, he felt the upbuilding
that renewed faith in ones fel.
lows always brings. The crowd
had closed in upon them. They
spat upon Stephen and they
Kissed Ho.
Kin followed close behind.
Stephen felt he could go
though anything with these
two, his friends, for Kin had be.
come more than servant to him.
AS soon as they were within
the old living room, and Kin
had closed the door. leaving
them alone, Ho passed through
a startling change. "Tong ia,
why did you come here? It is
not SAFE" He spoke half in
anger, half in agitation.
why do you ask? You know.
Because the Company sent me-"
answered Stephen.
Because the Company sent
you? Your consul is not here.
It is not safe for any outside
man."
"You know cannot leave
without an order" answered
Stephen.
After a long silence, Ho
spoke. 1.-THE tong ja will stay
in the house for a few days?
Here I can watch, and my heart
will be at rest"
Stephen gave his promise. He
must give Ho time to arrange
matters.

The steamer turned now and
was drawing near the wharf.
There was a waving of hand
kerchiefs and many excited
calls.
"Why, a lot Of Company
people!" exclaimed Stephen.
Men pretty high up come to
meet u.s."
Then it must be true about
the promotion, if we're that i'm
portant." Hester had spoken
his thought.
Now they were on the gang
plank. A coolie stepped for"
ward thrusting a note into
Hester's hand. From Mrs. Trues'
dale! Stephen was busy seeing
about the baggage, talking with
the men. She plucked at his
sleeve, trying to get his atten-
ton. stephen, Mrs. TrueSdale

coolies had instructions about
our baggage. I must get to the
office before closing. Trues-
dale's sent word he wants to
see me Immediately"
Hester could get only the sur"
face of his attention as he hur'
ried her forward into the wait"
ing car.
Riding in the big car, she had
one fleeing glimpse of the fun
nels Of the foreign steamers, the
julnbled mass of junk mastS,
before they turned from the
bund into Marking road. Her
heart beat loudly. It must be
true-Stephen's promotion. The
city to live in. Safety! Now, at
last, unaffrighted, she could re-
joice in the coming of her child.
Tonight she would tell Stephen.
Then the car passed through
the wrought-iron gates guard
ing the Company house - this
house greatest among all Com
pany houses. The house-boy
ushered her within, and Mrs.
Truesdale, exquisitely dressed,
advanced across the long living
room to meet her. cts lovely
to have you, my dear. Do sit
down" The voice, so beauti"
fully careless.
Hester sought to gather poise,
to meet it. Then the beauty
and charm Of the room caused
her to speak impulsively.
There's nothing like it any
where else in the world" she
exclaimed. Your room, your
lovely dwarf trees" If she had
studied her remark, it could not
have been better. The trees were
Mrs. Truesdale'S pride.
More Danger
"I'm glad you like them. I
always think it is a shame you
can't take such lovely things
into America"
Was Mrs. Truesdale, then, 60
ing away? Hester felt that her
hostess wanted her to ask, but
uneaSiness had come upon her,
checking the question on her
lips.
Abruptly, Mrs. Truesdalt,
moved across the room, as If she
could no longer be bothered with
intimacy. Hester, ascending the
broad stairs, followed her to the
guest-room, felt that Mrs. TrueS-
dale had intended to tell her
something, had asked her here
8or that purpose.
She pulled a low chair before
the open fire. It was a long
time before dinner. She got up,
turned on the lights, hearing,
to her relief, Stephens voice in
the hall below, speaking to Mrs.
TrueSdale. Now, as so often be.

DES' MONIES, Iowa, October 81
1owas minute men" of agriculture
were instrumental in marshaling big
vote in the corn-hog referendum, the
Farm Bureau reported today.
Citing that as all instance of the
effectiveness of the minute men," v.
B. Hamilton. secretary of the State
Farm Bureau Federation, said:
Some weeks prior to the referendum
the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation
mailed information concerning the
need for a program for 1886 and the
importance Of getting out big vote.
Along with this material, these
men received the answers to many of
the criticisms which opponents of the
program were heeping on the farmer.
These minute men met in some
80 counties and discussed this ma
terial, and then went home and, act
ing purely on voluntary basis pro-
ceeded to get their neighbors to
vote. - Counties report that the
work of these minute men has been
most effective"
The A. A. A. won landslide VIC
tory in the Iowa referendum, nearly
10000 farmers voting more than to
! for continuing the corn-hog pro-
gram into 1886.
Hamilton denied the minute men
organization was politically inspired
This is in no way political organ
ization," he said The minute men
organization will furnish facts sup
porting the agricultural adjustment
