SHAKING HANDS:— When Governor Bryan got home to Nebraska from the New York convention with the democratic vice-presi-dential nomination dangling from his belt, the folks back home gave him a cordial reception and called for a speech. Governor Bryan spoke, of course. At the conclusion of his few remarks i he invited everybody to come up and shake hands with himself and Mrs. Bryan. And there the newspaper story ends. It doesn’t tell how “Brother Charley” shakes hands; so ' the story is incomplete. Shifting hands is a habit—some- ' times a good one, but often a bad one. Sonic men grasp your hand firmly ( and shake it as it they meant it. i Others might as. well hand you a i hunk of liver to hold fur a few seconds. President Coolidge shakes hands es- , iiciently. If you happen to be in line with others marching by to shake hands with the president, calm and cautious Calvin takes hold of your hand and yanks you right along on your way und then reaches for the next victim behind you and gives him the same treatment. There is tto shake about it. It's mereiy efficiency method applied to cn ancient formality. Coolidge helps you through the ceremony about like Henry Ford's system rushes a tin Lizzie through the factory. If he didnot apply effli iency to hand-shaking much valuable presidential time would be lost. You might stop and chat, or at least try to say h<-110 or good morning; and that takes time. So you are firmly on your way und can go back home and suy you shook hands with the president—although you did no such thing. And you got about as much ot a thrill out of it as you got when you kissed your maiden aunt. That Ih. you kept cool with Coolidge. And when you come to think of the ioollsh hand shaking habit yon can't blame the president for getting the fool ceremony over as quickly and with as little waste ot energy us possible. —Indiunupolls Times.

Flashlights of Famous People

Face to Face With Walter Hoff Seely r Editor of “Success'’ (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) I For centuries the impulse loading I hioHt directly toward success has i been stimulated in reading biograph , ies or in the inspiration that comes i from hearing of someone who has achieved. In recent years there is magic in the word "success." It is a relative term. When the late Dr. Orison Swett Marden wrote his inspiration books and founded “his magazine" 1 was with him in his study in Bowdoin Street, Boston, where he had long dreamed of giving to the world the secrets of success gleaned from life experiences. It was the culmination ot years of research on this subject of inspiration drawn from the saying of eminent people of our time. Upon the demise of Dr. Marden, Walter Hoff Seely succeeded to the editorship of Success and is carrying on the constructive ideas in the cult. Mr. Seely, was prepared for college at Colgate, Hamilton. New York, graduating from Rutgers. Launching a newspaper career on the Spring- 1 field (Mass.) Republican, he caught 1 the spirit of the best traditions of Journalism that were handed down from the time of Samuel Bowles. On the staff of the Philadelphia Press, with the late Charles Emery Smith, 1 later Postmaster General, Walter < Seely pushed on in the channel 1 charted early in life. 1 During the Spanish-American War 1 Walter Seely did a great deal ot work s in Washington. Cuba and Porto Rico; 1 anil staff correspondence work for < newspapers all over the country. As I managing editor and eißtor-in-chief i of the Newark Evening News he came f in contact with another phase of 1 journalism, and when he joined the i staff of tile New York World in its i editorial and business departments $ he nearly completed the cycle of r newspaper work in America. Then he started a business career, becom- ; ing vice-president of the Pacific Mu- : tu.il Life Insurance Company of San i Francisco. Several years in tree- s lancing, writing editorials for a group i of newspapers in different parts ot i the country, dealing especially with < political subjects ant) social condi- t tions indicate a return to his primary <

There Is * grave danger that when you get ready to market your grain anil hogs the ( wind will be out and the market flat. i We believe there will be an upward ■ tendency because of supply and demand, but it depends largely on the ! crops in the northwest and in Cana- 1 da. I It is figured that if LaFollette carries five states and wise men say he will get Wisconsin, Minnesota, North and South Dakota and Montana, that Coolidge will have to carry every doubtful state to assure hi a election and prevent the contest going to congress. At this time 200 electoral votes are conceded to Davis and it is more than probable he will carry enough states east, west and in the middle to secure the necessary 266. Those eight and ten to one odds on Coolidge have suddenly disappeared. Senator Ladd of North Dakota announces that he will support LuFol-l lette without leaving the republican! party which Is, of course, a joke. He' will probably not leave the Rcpubli-i can party because he never was in it with his heart. Ho has become a; member of a new party just as LaFollette and Wheeler has. but they want; to leave a little opening so they can | sneak back in after a while, without,; I’using1 ’using too much ground.

July 21.—More than 250 litters have been nominated for the Hoosier Ton Litter Club awards by members of the club, according to James R. Wiley, of Purdue who has I charge of the club. "Approximately one-third of the I members who enrolled in the club last winter have saved litters large ’ I enough to nominate,” said Mr. Wiley J in commenting about the work. "This is an unusually good showing consid--1 ering the rainy weather of the farrowing season and the general lack of Interest in hogs due to low prices.” Wells county leads the state in the number of men nominating with 11 members who nominated 19 lifters. Unusually interest exists in this county because the Studebaker National Bank of Bluffton has offered SIOO in prizes. $25 for the heaviest litter in the county, S2O for the second heaviest Htter-and sls for the third, heaviest,*'slo for fourth and $5 each to the next nix. ’ ■ Over 600. sows farrowed on the farms of members whbse nominations have been received. An average of eight and two-thirds pigs was born per litter and six and one-halt pig* raised to weaning time. This is an

average of over one pig P« soW übov < the average for the state last spring, according to the U. S. Bureau of Crop Estimates' figures. A partial summary of the management ipiestionaires sent in bj tnem bers who nominated Utters shows that practically every one of them dean« out the old straw and manure from the farrowing quarters before farrowing; disinfected thoroughly and kept the sows and pigs in quarters that were not infected with parasites ami disease germs.
