JOB AS COW MAN MORE VITAL THAN VICE PRESIDENCY Lowden Friends Explain Why He Turned Down Nomination, By Times Special Governor Frank O. Lowden declined the Vice Presidency of the United States because he preferrerd to stick by his job as president of the Hol-stein-Friesian Association of Acperica thousands of Americans have inquired what sort of a “cow club” it must be that needs a man of presidential caliber to steer its ship. The publicity department of the Illinois Products Exposition, a child of the Illinois Chamber of Commerce is proclaiming that Lowden had sound reasons. * /‘Lowden comes nearer being the nation’s milkman than any other man,” it says. “In its efforts to increase the supply and thus cheapen the cost of milk, his ‘cow club’ spent for operating expenses alone, in 1923, $586,736.22. Serves Without Pay "Lowden and his cabinet serve without pay, 365 days in the year. The 'office expenses’ of the president for the year were $34. Lowden also is president of the American Dairy Federation, which induced the last Congress to elevate the dairy division of the Bureau of Animal Husbandry to the dignity of an independent bureau. “Members of Lowden’s ‘cow club’ own property worth billions, devoted to milk production. “Holsteins furnish 65 to 70 per cent of the Nacion’s fluid milk supply. Fifty-four Holsteins have records above 30,000 pounds of milk a year. Would Raise Production “Holstein breeders pay as high as SIOO,OOO for a single bull without telling the reporters about it. Lowden wears boots every day at Sinnissippi farm in Ogle County. He is one of the men who are striving to raise the average annual production of the American cow from 4,000 pounds to 15,000 pounds, present average of the pure-bred. That is why Lowden is content to see his friend, Gen. Charles G. Dawes, preside over the United States Senate, while he tends the cows. “The achievements of the livestock men will be one of the interesting disclosures at the P'inois Products Exposition, to be held Oct. 9-18, at the American Exposition Palace, Chicago.” A cow kicked over the lamp that caused the Chicago fire in 1871, but Illinois politicians say this is the first instance in which a cow kicked a hole m their calculations of a national political party.

““l AVE you ever been hungry? I—l Oil, Ido not mean the lusty 1 1 appetite that exercise brings, nor do I mean the faint sensation of discomfort that comes when dinner is delayed. I mean hungry! Not for an hour, nto for a day, not for a week; but for a month, two months, three months! I mean a hunger that is a slow starvation, that is not content to melt the flesh and shrink the muscles, but works a fatiji ajehemy upon the heart and mind. Perhaps you do not believe in such an alchemy. Nevertheless you will concede that the mind possesses great dominion over the body. And mistreated slaves overturn their i arsh masters. Why should,not the body, then, mistreated, destroy the mind that, ruling, has made no success of its reign? I say that no famished man will observe, after he has conquered fear, the laws that men with full stomachs have enacted. Conscience, and the words it conjured up before my mind! Honor, fidelity, duty! Well, I had won honor on a certain bloody meadow between two hills in France. Fidelity? For thirty yeara I had held the faith implanted in me in childhood. Duty? Well, in my pocket was a paper rroving that I had been honorably discharged from the army of—does it matter which army? Does it mat ter where I was born, who were my rarents, what had been, before the war, my station in life, my education? Let it be enough that I called myself a gentleman, that I still call myself a gentleman, and t-hat scores, even hundreds, of your so-called best people, term me such. But I was a very hungry gentleman that night, hot so long ago, when I returned to the shabby, even filthy lodging-house on Thompson St., that I called home. My landlady was seated on a chair in the ill-smelling hall. She met my entrance with a frown. Even had I been the kind\to shirk an issue, I could not have avoided this one. For she ipse from the rocking-chair at

the rear of the hall. For a moment she would remove her watchful eye from the brood of half-grown children who played in the kitchen. Sorry as I was for myself, I was sorrier for her. “I GET MY DOLLAR OR OUT YOU GO." Looking at her, as she shuffled her carpet-slippered feet over the torn and stained oilcloth of the hall, one found it hard to believe that she had ever had youth, beauty and happiness. One seemed to know that she had stepped from girlhood into middle age, and that the step had not been the bounding stride of confidence, but a frightened, unplanned leap compelled by fate. Even the flesh that shook upon her as she waddled toward me was not the firm fat of the well-fed, but the gross flesh of those who live indoors, who work too hard, and who replenish their wasted tissues with food of the wrong nutrjton value. Without a word she held out her hand to me. I could feel myself coloring, and marveled that there was enough red in my anemic sys-

tem to furnish my, cl eeks with a blush. There is no humiliation more painful to a gentleman than his inability to pay his debts to persons dependent for their livelihood upon his financial Integrity. Red with shame, I could only stammer: "I'm sorry, Mrs. Gannon." I suppose that years before poverty and worry and disease had left their indelible marks upon her body and character, her mouth may have been pleasant, even -inviting. It must have been kissable, for although 1 had neV’T seen Mr. Gannon, and vaguely understood that ho had vanished from my landlady’s ken a few years ago, the presence of so many young Gannons argued the bestowal of caresses upon my landlady's lips. But now her mouth was thin and sharp, in violent contrast to the overhanging cheeks and the double chin. Years of contact with impecunious lodgers had made a sneer of what might once have been a smile. “Sorry?” she repeated, and her shrill voice cut my Very soul. “I can't pay my rent with sorrow. Not even with my own sorrow, much less a second-hand sorrow that I get from you.” Her own witticism amused her, but I could see that it did not soften her. From the room at the end of the hall one of the brood saw me* He raced toward us, stopping. breathlessly. “Make a penny disappear, Mr. Ainsley!” he cried. “Let him make a dollar appear,” suggested his mother. “Ain't you got a penny, Mr. Ainsley?” asked the child. I suppose that my shame appealed to Mrs. Gannon. Anyway, she pushed the child away, harshly ordering him to go back to the kitchen. But pity for my humiliation could not make her forget her own needs. “The rent of your room was due yesterday, Mr. Ainsley,” she said. “I'm always willing to give any one a fair chance, but with plenty of people waiting for rooms, people as is able to pay for them, you can’t expect me to let you have the room free.” She told the simple truth. Even this grimy house had become attractive to me, because it afforded me shelter from the elements, because for all its degradation, it was better than the hard benches of the park. Mrs. Gannon would have no difficulty in letting the room which I occupied, the rept of which was only a dollar a week, and yet a rental beyond my power to pay. “Well, what you got to say?” she demanded. “It's a wonder to me that a good, big, strong man like you

wouldn't get some kind of a job if you wanted to." I could not debate the question with her. How make her understand that a wound, followed by illness, and the latter succeeded by eighteen months of malnutrition culminating in what promised to he actual starvation, unfitted a man for manual labor? Oh. I could work like a giant for ten minutes, but after that brief time I became as weak as a newborn kittten. But these were matters that pride kept me from divulging to Mrs. Gannon. She had troubles of her own; mine did not concern her. “Well, there ain’t nothing more for me to say. If you can’t pay me. you’ll have to go. That's all there is to that.” She put her hands on her hips and stared at me. I had never in all my life done a thing which the world calls dishon orable. I should have been able td look any one in the eye. The consciousness of virtue should have sustained my glance. Instead, it fell before her truculent glare. Then I made up my*‘mind. “All right, Mrs. Gannon: I'l pay you tonight," I told her. “It's tonight now,” she reminded me suspiciously. “I mean in an hour,” I explained. She eyed me unbelieveingly. Then, reluctantly, she said: "Don't think you can put anything over on me. 1 get my dollar in advance, like it’s due,“br out you go.” I nodded to her apologetically humbly. She pursed her lips, start ed to say something, changed her mind and let her words become an indistinguishable murmur, turned and waddled down the hail. I mounted the stairs. I say mounted, hut I mean that I climbed them by the most desperate effort. Silver zigzag lines appeared and vanished before my eyes; tiny points of light grew into great molten moons and then faded suddenly into darkness. Neusea attacked me. and I conquered it only by a miracle of effort. At last I reached my room on the top floor. It was hardly more than a cupboard. There was no window; a skylight gave what light and ventilation there were. There was no chair in the room, nor any carpet. The walls had once been papered, hut now there remained only a few strips; grimy, cracked plaster met the eye on every side. Yet even this refuge was to be denied me unless I found means wherewith to meet the debt that living in these quarters incurred. I had come to this room, stifling my contempt with difficulty. Now It was as desirable as an apartment in a palace. Dizzily I clutched at the wall and worked my way around to the bed

and sat down upon it. I was shaking and perspiring. It was bad enough to be hungry; but to be homeless also, was unendurable. Well, I would Jo the thing I had sworn never to do: I would pawn the miniature, painted upon ivory, of my mother. For the oath that I had made to myself, as my other possessions passed into the hands of the pawnbroker, that I would die before I parted with the last reminder of different days, was no longer binding. My duty to Mrs. Gannon was paramount. I had a shabby, worn-out suitcase in the room. I had thought when I came here that I o'aned the irreducible minimum of clothing possible to cover one's nakedness; but I had seen vanish, one by one, the articles of clothing and of the toilet that I had thought indispensable, not to luxury byt to life. Now, save for a shirt, an extra pair of socks and a collar or two, the suitcase was empty—save, of course, for the ivory miniature to which I have referred. * * * My dizziness passed after a moment, and I opened the case and took out the miniature. I had no idea what a pawnbroker would consider the thing worth, but I knew that it was worth millions to me: for when I should part with it, I would also put with hope. Looking at it, my eyes blurred, not Cation For Hun Falling Hair Before shampooing anoint the scalp, especially spots of dandruff and itching, with Cuticura Oint- 4 ment, letting it remain on ov-i night when possible.
