Only four or five ©of our presidents came from poorer pomes than our first president and he pad less schooling than four-fifths of his successors, He was, in fact, the only president in the first forty years’ who was without & college education. Not starting to school until eight, he had to leave at fourteen to go to work, Thenceforth until the Revolution the ‘woods and fields were his only school- room and life his only schoolmaster. ' 'We never can truly understand this man if we start with the mistaken idea that he was the product of wealth and aristocracy.

PLAN FOR ASSOCIATION OF NATIONS IS BEGUN Interesting Facts Developing Concerning Europe’s Stand Toward New Plan (By United Press) = Washington, wov. 9. (By L. C. Martin)—Primary work on the plans for an association of nations promised by President-elect Harding, is al- ready well along, it was learned- to- day. As a result of what is being done, it i3 expected when Harding is ready to take up the question his ad- visors will be able to give him com- plete information on these points. Conversation going on now be- tween certain -influential republicans and persons {n foreign capitals is al- ready developing interesting facts concerning Europe's attitude toward an entirely new association. These exchanges have been, of course, entirely unofficial and ‘in- | formal gnd Harding has had nothing {0 do with them. The information thus obtained, however, is regarded as a much franker-expression of the foreign view point than anything yet received. DEPUTY REPORTS FINE STATE TEACHERS' MEETING e Miss Emma B. Grant of the Be- midji Normal was elected secretary cf the section. of the state teachers’ association which deals with profes- sional training for teachers. Mrs. Grace B.

HOGS MAKE GOOD GAIN ~ _ DURING ENTIRE PAST WEEK South St. Paul, Nov. 9.—Election week found farmers and livestock shippers' in many quarters {oo busy tending to their voting duties’ to market much live stock, and receipts dropped off'both here and around the western gircuit. The result was that prices were boosted in all depart- ments, but before the close of the week dropped back on cattle and sheep, the hog market alone holding its gains. Improvement of consump- tive demand with higher prices in the fresh pork trade; lighter receipts and a good demand locally from shippers brought about an advance of $1 in hogs last week, bulk of sales at the close being $13.10+to $13.25. Best pige closed at $12.50 to $12.75. . After a running start last Monday and Tuesday with prices generally 25 to 50 cents higher, due to light re- ceipts and broad demand on the part of shippers and speculators, the cat- tle markét weakened Wednesday un- der the influence of more liberal marketings, and declined both Thura- day and Friday uutil practically all of the opening gain was wiped out. Saturday’s market, in anticipation of a liberal run was weak to lower. The week’s top for load lots was made on some Dakota Rangers at $11.25 with odd head on up to $12. Bulk of com- mon and medium heef steers at $6.50 to $9.00, butcher cows and heifers at $4.50 to $7.50 closed weak to a,quar-| ter lower for the week. Canners and | cutters at $3 to $4.25 were steady to | weak, as were bologna bulls at 31.25 to $5.75. Best veal calves at §12.50 finished $1 higher. Stockers umll feeders selling mostly from $5.00 to $9.50 were weak fo a quarter lower. | Receipts of cattle’ and_calves at the deven principal markets, last week showed a loss of around 29,000 head compared with the previous week. The sheep market after a higher opening, closed abcut 50 cents lower than a week ago, with best lanbs around $.1.25 to $11.50, and choice ! ewes at $5.50 at the close of the week.
