. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON .

ing tribute to the farmers de-
mands II was felt that the an
administration attitude of the
farm lobby could be overcome,
DIRECT COURSE SET
Instead of following this tack,
the administration set sail in a
direct course heading right into
the wind against Congress for
failing to put ceilings on farm
products, with general blast
against the rs per cent increase
in farm income and the IS per
cent increase in farm prices.
After the Presidents Labor
Day speech, some of the top
men around the Department OF
Agriculture are supposed to
have been pretty fearful of the
results. Not word of praise for
the good production job the
farmers had done in the face OF
labor and transportation short
ages. Not a word against the
farm lobby which had really
been responsible for forcing
Congress to vote against ceilings
on farm products.
In spite of this, the farm lob
by finally took licking on the
price bill which Congress pass
ed Oct. l applying Sept. IS cell
ings on farm products. The farm
lobby, its regular course of
Washington fixers augmented to
ESQ by hurry calls to their field
organizations, saw their dreams
of 100 per cent parity vote
down. How much influence the
organized farmers had on the
result of the election is some
thing the statisticians could not
prove. But the farm lobby
throws its weight around WASH
ington with more force than
even the labor lobby and if it is
out after the Wickard scalp the
lobbying braves can cause plen-
ty of trouble on the agricultural
war front.
There is, however, no real
reason why the secretary should
be scared. He has fought the
farm lobby before in all its
grabs for more power in De-
partment of Agriculture policies
and in opposing aid to small
farmers and tenant farmers.
Wickard is a real dirt farmer
himself. He is today the young
est member of the cabinet.
STEPPED UP FOOD
He has been given all the
credit for organizing and ably
administering a vastly increas-
ed food production program.
The Department of Agriculture
began this organization three
years ago and it has kept in
creasing the goal every year to
meet war demands.
There may have been squawks
from the United Nations for
shortages of food supplies from
the United States but the cause
of any such complaints have
been lack of shipping and not
lack of food to ship.
Wickard's greatest attribute is
his courage. At one time he sug-
gested the 10 per cent parity
ceiling. He did it because he
thought that was necessary to
get 100 for full parity. When
the program of the war showed
that 100 per cent parity would
be enough Wickard had the
CUTS to say publi>.~ that he had
been mistaken. 1t was the first
time that any political figure
had ever admitted error and
that Is a record that probably

IN NO TRUMP play especially,
but also sometimes in suit play, IT
is important to make sure you do
not allow the lead to be gained by
the player who is in position to
threaten some guarded honor. If
his partner Leads le will have to
lead up to it, making it a sure
trick-taker, instead Of through it,

is that, if you miss the play, the
opponents may be able to run off

enable commercial aviation to play an

One Of the routes, he said, would
provide new service between Billings
and Dickinson. N. D. Cities served
would be Forsyth, Miles City and

Dickinson, N. D.
Another proposed route cited would

tired like the rest Of us. Sitting Bull
was an arsenal Of weapons. He had a
rifle. bow and arrows, and a six
shooter in belt. To show us that
he was our master, and we thought
he certainly was, he deliberately pulled
his revolver and put six bullet holes
into the dog. We made no protest,
but had we known that there were
only six in the Indians party, it is a
possibility that Clusters massacre never
would have occurred.
Sitting Bull kept up his talking for
about an hour and 1t was not pleas

owned the whole country and that it
was by his suffrance that white dogs.

but before he left us, he said that
his 200 warriors had crossed the river
at old Fort Gilpin, point about 200
miles ahead, where the buffalo forded
the river in the spring and fall. He
told us that if we were lucky we could
get through without being seen by
them, but If they discovered us we
were as good as dead. We were thus
given show, but put little faith in
his words, as we were confident the
Indians were hidden in the coulees
