FARMERS ON THE JOB. The most insistent prnM.ni in America or in the world, for that mattfr has bf-on olvM. It is the problem of fool prvlurtion. Th American farmer has turned thn trirk. It is well to pause, in the mitsi of hot weather and politicp, to Rive him due credit. The farmer fctartod the year rather up against It. like a oo.l many oth;r people. If the general outlook was lark, his was more s-o Th tyfiral farmer, bo it remembered, is both bu?lneM rnan and workmm, f-mployer and employe. As a busine.-s man ho fan od. to a greater decree than other?, the difftrulties of sr.irce capital, scarce labor and hiph w-ripw. It was a question whether farmers in the. abrogate, couM procluco unywhere ner as much food as last year. Th fATmer-businf'Ss man belied hw reputation for timidity and ovop-conservatism. Ho decided to go ahta,u ar.fl roko tho best of it. His tactics nhamed thw cf tho business world in general. He darted in to cultivatr all the land possible, tacXlin? mor than he thotiRht he could manaere. rather thPn ls. As a capitalist and employer, he plunged. JTe crderd th machinery ho needed, and he went out and got the hired hlp he n-H-ded by the only practical way there was to pet it paying it wages that compared, favorably with city wnge3. The reilt In a pet of crop? far bier than anybody expected. The weather deperveg credit, to be eure. But the weather his been only an accessory after, the fact. The fact Is that the American farmer has proved himself, once morA, the solid safeguard of American prosperity In a weak and wobbly time. And as is usurü with the mnn who workn and ventures, he Keine: to reap the b-.nef.t of it. Other business? men may take the K-ssnn tj h".trt. Other u-orkr.ien may heed :t. tco The farmer is where he is today becus- as a workman, and one with real jrrivanc,--3, he clii r.ot strike, and did not fvn po "cn vacation." but jumped in on the job, and kept on It. and is Mill on it. seeing it through.

OPENING THE BIG CAMPAIGN. The arrt-al of Gov. James Middlton Cox of Oni) in Bouth Bend means much to th cty. "VV av mentioned the a.d-ertlsinp valu of it before, hotv thf world, well aa the. nton, will have its eves cn?ered on us far the day, and through editrll fcmment in both the republican and democratic prefs. for seral days to cone. The republican comment, o' rours, will not all be. favo-ablo, io Ctov. Cox. but that will not reflect upon South Rend. The democratic prt-.-s will be eulogistic of C'x and congi a tule.tory to South Bend. In a .;uite ÜfeiaJ sense. Gov. Cox's coming, will go a Ions way toward puttlnc our city on the political ma1) But more than that, tho people of South Bend axe poln? to hear the other Sue now, of the pi? CUtMion of the hour. We have htard plenty cf the republlca-i side. We- have had it during tho primary carntil-n and at all sorts of public and semipuMic pratherlnc .ver Ir.ce the armistice, where ftnti-admlr.ltrationlsts have edped in. and have been edged lr.to ever porettdo opportunity to epread the gospel of distrust and dlsreason. They have had pretty much their own way lo these many moons.- but It is a long: road that has no turn. With the arrival of Gov. Cox. South Bend V reaches the turn In the road. Anyhow our quadronr.lal campaigns are properly campaign of education; a means of interesting the people in our governmental problems, the solution of which they are supposed to direct at the ballot box. and they need to hear both eldes of jch Questions In order to express thoir preference intelligently. Too bad that Gov. Cox cannot be heard by every South Bend cltlien. as a matter of education If nothing more. Committees in charge hav done their best to make it possible by arranKlnc two meetings; one afternoon and one evenlne. Kve.-y ritizer.. reparrtless of rolltlcF. ihould hear h'.m at one time or the other. Let him tell you how he stands cn these- public questions, and hear it from his own lips. As to the democratic editors, largely instrumental in bringing the governor here; It would be prerumptuetM on the part of a democratic editor to ask much cor.ijraJon for democratic editors. They seldom have friends among republicans and earoe'.y any among tho democrats. No one appreciates their unpopularity more than they do themselves. Preaching democratic doctrine is In tho very nature of thi!.g3 too altruistic of lm;ort to take well with the utterly eclfish; cr. with those who regard government as n mere ir.an to some private end, and the Quest of oTlre as a mro rjueK of "pap." They accordingly have to worry alcn throuph the world. corusLitentry danmo.!, and finding their gratification not in eor.gs of approval, but eat!fld con-clenco-iiti-. af flflur. Larticularlv In this

THOSE FREIGHT BILLS. Many other railroads are following the example of the New York Central and the Pennsylvania in pointing out exactly what effect the( new freight ratori bear to tho cost of com rnoditien, and warning the public against improper increases. The railroads are not altogether philanthropic about it; they want to protect themselves asain.n the charge of addintr greatly to the eot of living. The service they render In this matter is none the less valuable. It is explained that the cost of shipping a suit of clothes 1,000 miles, when the new rates take effect, will be only right cents more than it is at present. For the same distance the cost of transporting a pair of shoes will be Increased onlv onefifth of a rent, a pair of stocking one-eighth of a cent, a pcjnd of flour one-tenth of a cnt, a pound of beef one-fourth of a cent, a pound of cotton onefifth of a cent, 100 pounds of oil 15 cents. 100 pounds of lumber 16 cents, etc. A 50-pound typewriter can be s-ent from New York to St. Louis for an additional 2 4 cents, and a piano from New York to Ban Francisco for an additional $10.20. On butter from a long distance the increase may be a half a cent a pound. On potatoes for th average, consumer, says one authority, it should not be more than about one cent a peck, and on apples perhaps 26 centa a barrel. Says George Dallas Dixon, traffic vice president of the Pennsylvania system: "While It Is true that in the case of some few articles and commodities small increases may be justified, the amounts which in any instance could be added fairly to the present prices are a very small fraction of the whole, and in tho cae of practically every article or commodity of daily consumption the increases in transportation charges are relatively to smull as to b3 practically neg-ligible." It would be unfair to expect jobbers, wholesalers and retailers to absorb all the increased freight charges. In many cases, however, they couli certainly do so without cutting dangerously into their rroflts, and in cases where they do pas-s on the increase to the consumer they cannot be Justified in trebling or quadrupling it. The public should be on guard. : o NO WASTE MATERIAL. Tho production of motor fuel from pineapple waste, is promised by manufacturers in Honolulu. One plant is already operating on a large scale. It haa tiled a $300,000 bond with the government, providing for the manufacture of alcohol for nonbeverage purposes. It has worked out and adopted its formula, and has begun work with nine tanks. each with a capacity of 4.000 gallons of pineapple waste. There are two highly satisfactory phases to this rew indu.ury. One. is, of course, the Discovery and working 01 a new source of motor fuel at a time when such fuel is rapidly becoming dear and scarce. The other is the productive jse of vast quantities of material hitherto considered simply as waste. The frequent discoveries of new uses for old materials regarded an valueless do not justify the recklest and extravagant uses of the resources known today. It is quite the other way. They teach that there is no waste except as human Ignorance allows it. and they inspire further research along other lines where as yet human intelligence has perceived nothing but unavoidable loss. o Pity r. poverty-stricken prince! Because King George's sons have an allowance of only ?30,000 a year each, one of them contemplates going to work to augment this Inadequate sum. 0 Warren T. McCray'n connection with a. Chicago bucketshop was an Interesting, disclosure to Mis Indiana friends. He must havo neglected to mention that vocation in his primary campaign.

Among the few departments that have been working overtime in the state "house for the- last few years is tho "pardon" department, presided over by Gov. Goodrich. 0 Apparently Capt. Amundsen is not a sociable individual, lie Is off r.galn for a five-year trip to the north pole.

marked Andy, clearing hii throat

in an apologetic bort cr a way. as he seated himself in the living room

to f-nlov the evening DaDer over hi

wife's shoulder.

""l hadn't noticed It." the business

manager responded coolly.

There was a considerable si'ence,

while Andy made a valiant efTort

to read the paper through the chiffon on the business manager's

shoulder. It was lik reading a

paper under water.

At last, Andy resumed.: '"There's nothing like god ole

partisan politics to bring the boya

out and cement anew old time friendships. I'm glad the campaign is on. It makes a fellow feel like

a man a cam.

"Oh. is that so." replied the busi

ness manager with some heat.

You're getting mighty important

all of a sudden. What's the idea?

Are you thinking of raisins your own rent or havn vou tust bought

the fire department?"

Andy cleared his throat again and

continued:

"Well, you sfe, my dear. I've been

asked to take part in tho demonstration on Thursday for Gov. Cox.

There'll be luncheon, speeche and

dinners all day long, and I don't

think it will h convenient for me

to be home that day. I meant to tell you earlier but I haven't had the opportunity. You see, Gov. Cox and I are both newspapermen und

Its perfectly natural for me to want

to try to show him a god time."

"Well if you ever take the gov

ernor out with you," remarked tho

business manager, "you'll sure be doing Mr. Harding and the republicans an awful favor. I figure if

you take him with you. he may be able to sit up again along about the

first of the year after the votes are

all counted."

"But you are not going anywhere

on Thursday," continued Mrs. Andy, emphatically.

"Why not?" Andy asked. "Because," she said. "I'm going

lo be away f6r the day attending meeting of the democratic auxiliary. 1'il expect yo l to remain at home and look after things."

SEIiL. If fair namea should be given to fair women, Solma is a favorite in feminine nomenclature. It is an old Keltic, name, moaning "fair." and named the beautiful daughters of Ireland and Scotland for feneration after generation. finally it spread over the border into England and was straightaway adopted as a national favorite. The Bible records a Selmai. which may be taken as identical with Selma, and the name is thus given a religious significance. The Dutch also have a Selmal which is generally regarded as the equivalent of Selma. Otherwise, there is little history connected with the name which persisted because its sound. as well as its pigniftcance, was fair. In thia country, the south adopted ßelna, probably because of Its asso elation with feminine beauty and equally because its vowels are well suited to the soft, slurring pronunciation of Dixie. Many lovely southerners, toasts of Virginia and Carolina counties, have borne the name and more than one etate has beetowed the name on one of itstowns or smaller cities. It is fitting that the pearl, symbol of beauty, and charm, should be Selma's talNmanlc gem. It promises her great fascination and the power of attracting admirers. Monday is her lucky day and live her luckv number. (Copyright, 1920.)

The time is coming when every right thinking person will refuse to use impure ice. The fact that our business has increased much more than the increase in population is positive proof of this statement. We can't be very wicked or we wouldn't grow so fast.

THURSDAY, Arc. 10. A splendid array of planetary fi;UTC9 point to a most prosperous and i

interesting day. with procres. achievement and reward along all lines of human endeavor. There should be a word of caution as to the signing of letters, contracts and other writing, since Alercury under whose rule astrologers place all manner of writings and publications is in a place of affliction. There is eome indication of an advantageous changre or removal or possibly a fortunate Journey. Domestic, social and affectional matters are also under the beneflc sway of the planets, and should react to their gracious influx. It la particularly propitious for marriage. Those whose birthday it is ha-e the augury for a very prosperous year with increase of business and money, but should be careful In signing papers. A child born on this day will be clever, fortunate and popular. A girl will mAke very good and happy marriage.
