U.S. TO GIVE AWAY 55,000 VIRGIN ACRES
Into Fertile Land.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 3 (U. P.). —The Bureau of Reclamation next year will give away 55,000 virgin acres of farm land in the Black Canyon district of Idaho. A nearly completed chain of dams and irrigation canals, projected for more than 35 years, is transforming the sagebrush desert, long ago occupied but later abandoned, into a fertile country side. :
As in frontier aays, the cry of “free land” still raises hope of thousands, but the competition for the Government grants is more severe than ever, dccording to Reclamation officials. When 67 farms were opened to settlers near Klamath, Cal.,, a few months ago, the land office was deluged with 3600 applications. The result has been promulgation of proportionately severe selective examinations for eligibility for grants. When the Bureau of Reclamation posts its advertisements of “land—free,” they might also put up signs reading, “No bums need apply.” There is opportunity, but it is no longer open to everyone. After 30 days, the applicants are questioned carefully by Government examiners. “How much farming experience have you had?” they ask. “Any experience with irrigation farming? Ever been in jail? Let's see your references.” Finally, applicants with capital have much better chances. Capital up to $2000 is counted as a major qualification.

Ex-President Gets Another
Vote From a
Real Old-Timer
By JOE COLLIER
In the -historical quietness -of
the Harrison Memorial Home the
other day, with the sound and fury of the current campaign shut out by massive oak doors, Benjamin Harrison won another vote.
A little man who had voted for Cleveland called at the home on what he described as a purely nonpolitical visit, but during the trip through he remarked:
“IT liked Harrison, all right, but I'll tell you one thing I dor’t like about him—he said the workingman could live on a dollar a day.” And in so doing, the visitor lighted again the political bonfires of 1888, because on that statement, more than on any other, Democrats and labor based their fight against the Harrison eandidacy for President The Story Persisted
Yet the story persisted, although so far as anyone now knows, whoever started it did not say when or where Harrison had made the remark. The Harrison Home visitor, when this was belatedly explained to him, said “he was glad to know
Sagebrush Desert Turned|it”
That wasn’t the only thing that plagued the Republicans that campaign. As early as July 29, one of the Harrison newspapers was telling its readers that the Democrats had invented a propaganda device there should have been a law against. Traveling men, the paper said, already were gathering crowds in local hotel lobbies and saying they had voted Republican all their lives, but that this time they were going to vote Democratic.
It Was Not Success
In spite of everything, local newspaper accounts as of Nov. 4, 1888, hinted that Republicans would win. After printing a column-and-a-half account of the final Republican rally parade, naming all the units and how many were in them, and searching for adjectives of grandeur to describe its political power, one paper had a short article following on the Democratic parade which was held the same night. The article began: “The Democratic parade, in point of numbers, was not a success.” Then the article broke into an account of an hilarious incident during the Democratic parade, under a heading that said: “The Fun a Wagonload of Girls Caused.” The article: ; “A balky horse and the mud caused a large wagon in the Democratice parade to stick at the corner of Meridian and Washington Sts, last night. “Thé wagon was drawn by six horses and loaded with 63 ‘solid
country girls clad in red bandana
dresses. The street was blocked and the parade stopped. In a short while a large crowd gathered around to see the fun.
‘What's the Mater?
“ ‘What's the matter with the wagon?’ someone yelled. “The wagon’s in the mud,’ was the answer of a Young Republican Club which came up and had begun to joke with the girls. “ ‘What's the matter with Cleveland’ the girls shouted. “‘Cleveland’s in the soup,’ was the reply of the Republicans, and the crowd cheered and laughed. “The boys offered to lift the girls

out and carry them to the sidewalks, but they said if they couldn’t get. Democrat beaux they wouldn’t have any. “‘You can’t vote,” some one said. “Well, we are old enough to vote and that’s more than some of you,’ the girls replied. “And it was hard to tell whether the laugh was on the boys or girls. Finally planks were brought and the wagon with its load was pulled out, it having occupied just 30 minutes in passing that point.” Streets weren’t even a campaign issue! The article solemnly said the whole parade took but 52 minutes to pass that point.
CHILDREN WILL GET ‘WALKING LICENSES’
LONDON, Nov. 3 (U. PJ)~ Twelve thousand Wembley schoolchildren are to be issued “walking

GOLD PRODUCTION IN CANADA JUMPS
OTTAWA, Ontario, Nov. 3 (U. P.).—An increase of more than $9,000,000 in the value of gold output featured the activities of Canada’s mining industry during the first half of 1938, a report issued by the Dominion bureau of statistics discloses. Canada’s mineral production during the first half of 1938 was valued at $209,654,610.
House employee. With this ammunition, the Floyd County G. O. P. has been able to gather its shattered ,6 forces together and present the. best organization in years. Further fuel has been: added to the fire by the fact that the State Accounts Board, which is supposed to make: regular examinations of all County officers’ books, failed to report any shortage after the last examination of Mr. Leist’s books. Republicans are telling the voters that an increase of 80 cents in the tax rate will be necessary to wipe out the deficit in the Treasurer's office. The Democrats are promising to replace the money from the regular budget, which amounts to about $750,000 annually.
Commissioners Under Fire
Much heat has been directed at the Floyd County: Commissioners, particularly Chairman Carl Bornwasser, who now is Democratic candidate for Sheriff. The Republicans charge that such a ‘nuge shortage never could have existed in the
municipal election, where Dr. Noble PF. Mitchell, Republican candidate for Mayor, is opposing Jacob Hauswald, incumbent. : In New Albany's sister city of Jeffersonville, the campaign has resulted in the automatic closing of most of Clark County’s alleged gambling resorts. Republicans say the
that the casinos “will open again immediafely after election if Democrats are left .in. power.” : :
Swings Band Campaigns
Experts predicted a close race for Mayor between John Kennedy, present Democratic City Clerk, and Homer Vawter, Republican, who has served four years.on the City Council. If Mr. Kennedy is elected. it
ville history that one party has remained in power for three successive terms. Moving northward to Marion, the city election is featured by the comeback effort of Merrill Jack Edwards, once known as the “Playboy Mayor,” who is the Democratic nominee opposing Mayor Carl F. Barney, Republican. Mr. Barney, a Conservative, defeated Mr. Edwards by 240 votes in the election four years ago. He is campaigning on his record of “strict law enforcement and tax reduction.” Mr. Edwards is campaigning with a swing band and also has distributed thousands of buttons to school
