CHICAGO, Oct. 19 "Politics is a kind of feed bag for men with fancy appetites." That is the estimate of William Murphy, newsboy nominee for congressman at large from Ilinois, who combines campaigning and selling newspapers on one of Chicago's busiest loop corners beneath the roaring elevated line. Mr. Murphy has sold newspapers at the corner of Madison and Wells streets for fifteen years. "A lot of folks think it's a joke me running for congress," he observed, commenting on his race. "That's because there's a kt of bunk in the world and even good men have got to feeling that you measure a guy's intellect by the height of his silk hat and his integrity by the cost, of his mahogany desk. Wei!, I don't work behind a roll-top desk and you don't notice any water cooler on this corner. Only A Feed Bag. "I've stuck around these corners for fifteen years, and I've made money selling newspapers, buying and selling real estate, or anything that came along and was on the square. I've got enough money to take care of myself and family my father, mother, and two kids. "Now I'll tell you something. Politics is full of bunk. A lot of guys put on a swell front and lay hands on a lot of fancy words and go to it. All they figure on is nailing some job where they can shoot off their mouths and collect regularly. Politics is a kind of feed bag for men with fancy appetites." Co olid ge in Mountains Of Kentucky For Talks ON BOARD GOVERNOR COOLIDGE'S SPECIAL TRAIN. Oct. 19 The special train bearing Governor Coolidge and his political associates on their campaigning tour of the border and southern states in behalf of his candidacy as the Republican candidate for vice president, today penetrated the heart of the Kentucky mountains. Governors Coolidge, Morrow, of Kentucky, and Lowden, of Illinois, addressed the audiences from the rear platform at Mt. Vernon, London.

Upon beginning . his second day's tour of Kentucky, Governor Coolid;o said that sentiment in the state as he had observed it, was "opposed to the idea of the league of nations. "I have listened attentively to the attacks made upon the league by Governor Morrow," he said, "and I at first thought that perhaps the people were applauding a man for whom they have a great liking, but from the best in formation I have been able to obtain, and from my own observations, I be-( lieve the people of Kentucky are opposed to the idea of the league."

V -S"- 'X V- .. "e)rf y5T.f f The Farm i By WILLIAM More than 1,000 head of hogs which weighed practically 190,000 pounds, crossed the scales at Glen Miller from October 4th to 9th. These hogs cost the yards more than $27,000. In the same days 10.0 veals, 68 lambs (and a carload of cattle also came in. It is noteworthy that on Friday and Saturday of that week enough brood sows cme in to load a big. car, this showing how some farmers must view the hog outlook, in spite of the ban ner crop of corn. On the contrary many farmers have been picking "up feeders at all sales. This reminds us of a farmer who took fright last spring when hogs took a header, and sold every last pig on the place. He now has about eighty acres of the best corn, also the greatest number of bushels he has grown in years, with nary a pig to feed it to, as he has not been replacing his herd. Spring Hogs Marketed All live stock markets are beginning to note the arrivals of spring pigs, some of them being good handy weights of the bacon type. The record weight on spring pigs at Glen Miller was held by George Deeter. of Hollansburg, up 'to a few days ago, wnen worman weatnerDy, or wew Paris, marketed 39 March and April pigs that went over the scales at an average of 212 pounds. It is not uni likely that this record has been eclipsed, or will be, during the present week. These spring pigs are growing older and heavier every day, of course. The Seed Corn Harvest "This is a good time to select your seed corn," says Harry Gilbert, "and we are Retting ours in now. There seems to be no barren stalks this season, and the ears are the largest ever. We make it a rule never to pick a seed corn ear from a stalk near a barren one, but this time we have no trouble on that score. It is surely a great corn crop." Mr. Gilbert expects to start cribbing as soon as his seed corn is selected. That will be late this week, although cribbing the entire crop will not be rushed. William Osborn, living east of Boston, states that he has 150 acres of exceptionally fine corn, but even so he expects some of it to be "soft" and for this reason. A small percentageseems to be still growing and on Sunday he found ears still in the milk, by the side of some almost dry and hard enough to shell. He laments that he has but 170 head of hogs, nnd says he should now have twice tTiat number The local packing plant at Muncie, a rather modest affair, has fallen into ! new hands' and is to be enlarged con con-1 ovo-1 siderably. It is said that impr ments costing $150,000 are in prospect, j Corn Prices Cattle Losses. After figuring that it had cost cattle feeders from $12 to $17 per hundred weight to raise cattle in northern Illinois, during the past two years, the United States department of agriculture figures that the cattle men netted a profit of 5 V per cent.

CRAWFORD DEFENDS FARMERS IN SPEECH BEFORE FEDERATION

By WILLIAM R. SANBORN. The largest, and most interesting meeting ever held by Wayne township federationists, and so conceded, took place at the courthouse Monday evening. It was a gathering of thoughtful rr.en and women who are hopeful of a some-time final and satisfactory solution of the various problems so long confronting the farmer. The farmers' problems are those of the nation. They relate to the bread, meat and clothing of all the people, furnished in sufficient quantity and reasonably priced. This price must include a fair profit for the producer, over and above his daily bread. The farmer has a large investment, works long hours, and all too frequently has been unable (o supply his family with pnything but the barest essential. This explains the eternal drift to the cities of the best and moet ambitious young people, both men and women. As was asked by Mr. Crawford at the meeting Monday night: "If we cannot keep our young people on the farm, how can we expect that those from the cities will come and do our work. Who will run these farms when the old folks quit, if we cannot keep our children with us and in love with their farm homes?" An Interesting Discourse. The meeting was in charge of It. B Morrow, township president. Theodore Davis and J. L. Dolan, county agent, gave five minute talks as to' the purpose of the gathering, the membership drive which is on today, after which Earl Crawford, of Milton, the speaker of the evenine. was introduced. Mr. Crawford's talk was a most logical, dispassionate and liberal discourse, along the broadest lines. It related not only to the prosperity of the farmer but to the good of the entire people. It was in the broadest sense a patriotic utterance. The speaker defended the right of the farmers 1o organize and asserted their willingness to abide by all the laws of the country. In Reply to Mr. Goodrich. This statement was in reply to a recent address by P. E. Goodrich, presidont of the National Grain Dealers' association, at Minnesnolis, and whUh has received wide publicity. Mr. Goodrich asserted that the farmers are being misled by scheming politicians. This the speaker denied, and asked that Mr. Goodrich should name a sin gle politician "who is prominently identified with this organzation. I believe that our farmers can be given credit for having the same high ideals of patriotism and loyalty, as have the grain dealers.
