MORE GOOD NEWS
FOR THE FARMERS

Farmers cash income from the sale
of farm products amounted to S154,-
100000 in September, or 16 per cent
more than in September last year, the
federal Bureau of Agricultural Econo-
mics at Washington reports. All regions
showed gains. In all regions but one
the West North Central states-crops
brought in greater returns. Livestock re-
ceipts averaged 18 per cent better than
last year.
Agriculture is Big Business. For the
first nine months of 1886, farmers IN
come from farm marketings amounted to
S5.224. 900. 900. This was a gain OF lS
per cent over the same period last year.
All of his is good news for the farmer
but it is good news, too, for the city
dweller. A large percentage OF the ma
tion's purchasing power is centered IN
rural areas. If the farmer can buy more
goods. the city dweller has a chance at
more jobs. A.,
Agriculture is definitely out of the
woods. largely because the American
farmer is a gentleman who plods along
through adversely, working out his sal
vation even while he continues to grum-
BILE. He has plodded through adversely
now. and the nation should echo the
smile on his face.

THE PEA PICKERS
INVADE IMPERIAL VALLEY

Past the state quarantine station at
Ft. Yuma are streaming descrepit auto
mobiles piled high with decrepit furnl-
ture, worn blanket rolls and work-worn
humanity. The parade is a problem to
Imperial Valley. 1t is made up of timer
ant field laborers from the cotton fields
and ditchbank camps of Arizona, at
tracted by the story that work is await
ing them in the Imperial Valley pea
fields.
Many of them are doomed to disap-
pointment. Some of them will obtain
work.
They are the type mentioned in at
least one controversial report of two
wears ago, dealing with so-called "de-
plorable" living conditions furnished by
ranchers to their employees In that in
stance. deplorable conditions did exist,
but not among those employed and living
in quarters furnished by the ranchers.
The trouble arose among those who
came here seeking work, could not find
it. and "squatted" along the ditch banks,
hoping that some turn of cirmustance
would give them job.
Among those who come here with high
hopes of employment, only to find that
others have arrived before them, the
valley finds its greatest danger of strike

UneIe Sam SymboIizes U. S.

That, or something like it, is,
the character that Uncle Saml
stands for. 1t would be foolish, of
course, to say that every individ-
ual American partakes of those
characteristics; but somehow that
picture does express the reality
which underlies the nation as
whole, and the man who forgets
it is due to have an abrupt awak-
ening some day.
For America is not half so ur-
bane, SO sophisticated, and SO
streamlined as the outward sur
face sometimes makes us think
Down underneath there is this
elemental and earthly toughness,
this saving and irreverent humor,
this raw-boned strength; times of
crisis bring out these qualities in
all their old freshness.
Uncle Sam will do until a bet
ter figure comes along. He stands
for the best of what we mean
by the word American"

Uncle Sam was a grand old char
acter in his day, but he is out
of date now and it is time car
toonists found new symbol for
America.
So says David Low, famous Bri-
tish cartoonist, who has come to
this country for visit and who
has discovered that the lanky. chin
whiskered Yankee of a thousand
sketches no longer represents
modern America.
Certain it is that the typical
American of today--if there is such
a person-iS no longer a down
east farmer. The country has
grown citified and sophisticated
since Thomas Mast popularized the
lean countryman in the tail coat.
A brisk business man in horn
trimmed specs might fill the bill a
little better.
But national character IS hard
thing to assay. 1t changes more
slowly than surface indications
might make you think. Uncle Sam
may have moved to the city, tog-
ged himself out IN up-to-date
clothes. and shaved his chin, but
there is life in the old gentleman
yet.
For the distinguishing thing a.
bout the American character is
precisely the fact that away down
underneath it is Symbolized by
this familiar Uncle Sam, in spite
of everything.
What is Uncle Same like, any
way? What qualities does he stand
for, when We see him on the
printed page?
First of all, he is earthly and
elemental. He has the tang of
the frontier on him, he is tough
and sinewy, gifted with a dry hu-
NOR and a native shrewGness,
easy-going and slow to anger, but
terrible in his wrath when some
thing does get under his hide.
He is Lincoln and Andrew Jack
son, and he has touch of Mark
TWain's gaudy inventiveness, his
fondness for a tall tale. He tends
to be cannily skeptical, and he is
not impressed very much by out
ward show.
He gets fooled now and then,
but never twice in the same way.
He has continent to walk in.
and it has given him Wiry muscles
and made him just a little bit
restless.

Other Editors Say
MIDDLE ROAD NECESSARY
MADEIRA Tribune)

Present liquor control in California may be
drawing criticism from all quarters, but the
decisive manner in which the liquor control
proposals we're rejected at the recent election
clearly indicates that the great majority Of peo-
pie are strongly opposed to anything that hints
at return to the situation that existed in the
pre-repeal days Though the outcome may be
a bitter blow to the ardent drys, there should
be thought on the part Of the enthusiastic vets
as to the future.
Prohibition came into control at time when
war had so upset the world that anything could
happen. It went out with world blanketed by
a depression In both instances success went
to the victor, not because of his own power,
but because of outside influences affecting
major part of the nation that belongs in neither
group and this group thought it saw benefit.
The more liberal vets and drys should attempt
TO find middle road-a law that will bring
proper control for the benefit Of a major group.
The comparative few who ignore the right me-
thod of handling liquor sales are menace to
those who seek TO handle liquor sales in a proper
manner. 1t is to the interest Of the majority
that a curb be placed TO guard against illegal
OF wrong methods.

NEW YORK, Nov. 23.-In the

nal: I was noticing the clean pen
lines of Dorman Smiths cartoons.
I wondered. as he worked many
years in Ohio, if he might be influ-
enced by Billy Ireland. Just as
Webster, Ding and Briggs were IN
fluenced by McCutcheon.

Mine were bulldog toed with big
brass eyelets. She was in spring
heels. To have made it perfect I
should have been carrying buggy

Loyalty strikes me as one of the
supreme virtues. I've often WINGED
at the thoughtless who used to howl
for the Stones to crap their Mont
gomerys and the ClarkS and their
McCulloughs. Still. when I tried
to hammer it into a magazine piece
was stumped after two paragraphs.
One wonders how many others
are out of step with the feverishly
fast sophisticated plays now the

neke and Hartnett, ana they still do.
Warneke Is their one triple-plated
pitching ace. The others are good, but
not positively reliable.
Root may be expected to fan of
from his 1885 standard. Mr. Grimm
hopes that Carleton will take in the
slack, but it's just hope.
He needs another first-class
Highlander of the Curt Davis
type.
Until he gets him, the task of filling
breaches will fall to young Fabian
Kowalik, who showed promise in the
world series last Fall.
Hartnett had q great season In
1885, and the boys say "As Hartnett
goes, so 60 the Cubs" But the Gabber
is getting older and slower. and his
replacement, Ken O'Dea, is just a
promising young catcher so far. With
out Hartnett the Cubs are doubtful.
It's question of how long Gabby can
make his Indian Summer last.
To be sure, these observations are
mine, not Mr.. Grimm's. Mr.. Grimm
likes the future pretty well, and the
rest of the Cubs love 1t.

might as well send your application for
