A Thought For The Day
He that gathereth in summer is a wise son;
but he that slceneth in harvest is a son that caus-
eth shame.—Prov. 10:5.
Rags will always make their appearance where
they have a right to do it.—IJr. Johnson.
SENATOR MANGUS JOHNSON
One of the most unique figures ever to hold a seat
in the United States Senate will be Mangus Johnson
of Minnesota when he takes up his duties at the
convening of the Sixty-eighth congress. Senator John
son has just been elected as the junior Senator from
Minnesota, succeeding the late Knute Nelson, de
ceased.
"Magnus,” as he is known all over his home state?
defeated Governor I’reus in the election several days
ago and has announced that he will join the La Fol-
lette-Wheeler-Brookhart bloc in the upper house. He
was a candidate of the Farmer-Labor party and won
easily over his opponent, who defeated him for gov
ernor of the state at the last election.
Johnson is a native Swede, iS fifty-two yifars old
and has lived in this country thirty years; He talks
with a decided foreign accent and says he is proud of
it. He is what is known in political circles as a "dirt
farmer” and is said to possess the loudest speaking
voice in the state of Minnesota and when he reaches
the capitol the halls of the senate chamber are ex
pected to tremble when he gets his voice unlimbercd.
Friends of Johnson assert that he has never worn a
dresr. suit, and never will- He campaigned in his shirt
sleeves and does not give promise to don the usual
swallow tail coat and spats worn by senators. Before
coming to America he was a glass blower in Sweden.
He was elected to the senate on a plntform that
evidently met with the approval of the people of
Minnesota, and the middle west. It speaks for itself
and if he accomplishes, or tries to even, all the things
he has promised he will be the busiest man in the
U. S. His platform was as_follows:
"‘Repeal the Esch-Cummins Railroad law.
‘‘Restriction of the use of court injunctions in labor
disputes.
“A soldiers’ bonus to be paid by an excess profits
tax.
‘‘Regulation of the packers, oil, coal, steel and nil
the other big business enterprises popularly classed
as ‘trusts.’
‘‘Nationalisation of the nation's water power. >
“National farm marketing legislation.
“Curtailment of the powers of the Supreme Court
so as to make impossible five to Tour decisions in de
claring acts of congress unconstitutional. If he has
his way the new senator would make it impossible
for the court to declare any act of congress unconsti
tutional.
“Revision downward of the Fordney-McCumbcr
tariff law.
' "Operation of the Federal Reserve system ‘in the
interest of the people,' and not, ns he asserts is now
the . case, in the interest of big business and Wall
Street.’,’
ROASTING EARS BY THE CARLOAD
Down Valdosta way they are growing corn for
roasting cars and shipping them by the carload. The
Georgia and Florida railroad runs through Val
dosta and it is doing a fine truck-hauling business.
The Lanier County (Ga.) News thus describes the
busy scene of trimming and packing a carload of
■ corn:
"The depot platform presented a busy scene, 14
men and boys being employed all day sorting, trim
ming and crating the snowflake roasting ear corn
brought in by 15 growers to make up a carload. The
work was supervised by Mr. iJulian Mackey, of Val
dosta, and Mr. J. R. Kramer, a northern buyer. Tho
expense of packing came to 30 cents per crate, and
a crate holds from four to six dozen ears of corn, ac
cording to size. Messrs. Mackey and Kramer of
fered to buy the carload at $1 per crate; that is 63
cents net. The carload was finally sold in the after
noon to Mr. W. L. Miller at~$1.05 per crate. It is
expected that another joint carload will be made up
next week. Mr. R. E. Carter expects to have a whole
carload of his own by that time.”
There must be a good profit in grownig green
corn for market as you not only get a good price for
what you sell, but whnt you have left over is velvet,
/ and can be left to stand and mature. Besides, you
have all of the fodder, which is Of itself a big item,
k A farmer can get rich growing corn in this way, pro-
B vided he has the facilities for shipping and market-
W ing with a good demand.
We read In myths and fairy tales
Of how the mountains and the
vales,
The woods and lakes and dewy
dales.
Were much frequented.
By hamadryads slim and fair,
And nyhphs of pagan beauty rare,
re encountered everywhere
In forests scented.
And Ihero la much mythology , ^
Regarding ladies of the sea /
Who, in a manner bold and free,
Vamped many sailors;
Thdlr garments were exceeding
sheer
(According to the yarns we
hear),
They didn't give much work, I fear,
To ladies’ tailors.
Where are those nymphs and
dryads, too,
Who roamed tho forest pathways
through
Where are the sirens of the blue,
Bluo ocen reaches?
"Where are they now?" the poet
cries.
It is -a cinch to put him wise.
He merely needs to use his eyes
Upon the beaches!

KANSAS CITY, Mo.—As a
vnrd for a Reason's work, the farm-
oA of the United States will have
to pocket n, loss of 1472,000,000
this year’s wheat r.a result of
the recent/slump In wheat prices.
That Is the estimate of I. C. Moh-
ler, secretary of the Kansas State
Board of Agriculture.
The slump caused .nullity by
er-productlon throughout the world
will sweep away tho earning* of
millions of farmers. Mohtar esti
mates, and leave them poorer than
they were a year ago.
It means a check in tfe prosper
ity wave that has swept the coun
try during the recent months, he
believes, but will not bring on r
panic. '
The loss estimate Is based on p
production cost of $1.30 a bushel
the estimate of wheat It costs :
farmer to raise a bushel of wheal
In Kansas this year. The farmer
will get only an average of 77 cents
a bushol for his product.
"It means 40,000,000 people of the
middlo west and west will have tc
rut down expenditures during the
coming year.” Mohler "It
means there must be a change In
the mode of living of farmers and
those who depend upon the prosper
ity of the fnrmers for a living.
“Of course, farmers will make
profit In other lines, possibly
from their livestock and corn," the
griculturnl expert continues. “But
one can see that it will take a great
deal of profit In those lines to bff-
set the losses of wheat growers.
‘‘Kansas fnrmers will be f55/
oon.ooo Worse off for their year o
work nnd investment In growing
heat.
“I am not a calamity howler and
want to make the reservation thn«
Kansas farmers have seen hard
times before, and will pull through
some way.”
Last year the average price re
reived by Kansas farmers to 1
wheat was 00 rents.
The situation Is such that far
’ mers simnly will have to give »i

{ ties.” Mohler says. 'It Is Idle t«
