There’s a romance of everyday life. SOUSA Sousa, king of bandmasters, confesses that he has been hard of hearing for some time, and couldn’t hear much more than a jumble when his men played. Osteopathy is restoring his hearing. How could he direct a band when he couldn’t hear how they were playing?

Z The Forum’ editorial tol!ows: oe THE BIGGEST IS OF ALL. “In ‘sticking to the issues’ the prop- er place to discuss ‘the biggest issue of all’ doubless would have been. at the outset, but it isn’t too late yet. “What is ‘the biggest issue of all?’ “Ign’t is the whole theory on’ which the so-called ‘farmers’ pTogram’ 0: ‘the new day in North Dakota’ is based? “What ‘is that theory? ‘St is the theory of siate ownership of marketing. is. ; “The Nonpabtdsa iabdOGarn ‘included state ownership of termigal elevators “and: flor miils as’ its chief item..

Grain Growers. You don’t hear anything more about state flour mills.and state elevators, except explanations of why the state flour mill at. Drake failed, and why the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks cannot be completed. It is no longer even claimed that the state mill and elevator at Grand Forks will solve the farmers’ proviems. If they would solve them, why the need of the co-operative merketing plan? . ad “On the biggest issue of all, the Proponents of the so-valled ‘farmers’ program’ ‘have wholly :bandoned their original stand and. taken one directly contrary to it, State ownership is the very antithesis of co-operation. In state ownership the predominant fea- ture is .conscription of capital and credjt of all taxpayers. Everyone is forced to contribute through taxation or-the sale of state bonds. Nobody Is permitted to exercise his own judg- ment as to whether or not he will en- gage in the milling business.. He is told by the state thac ue must engage in it and: his, money is taken away from him for that purpose. “In co-operation, on vile other hand, he is permitted to exercise his own judgment. He may go in or stay out as he sees fit. “Also, in co-operative marketing, the whole management of the enter- prise is divorced from politics, A manager is not chosen for a flour mill because he is a Republican or a Dem- ocrat, oF because he is a ‘wet’ or a ‘dry’ or a suffrage advocate or an op- ponent, or because hesis a Norwegian or a German, or beeause he belongs to one religious denomination or an- other. He is chosen because he knows something about the mi.ling business. And in a co-operative bank, the man- ager would be chosen because he knew something about banking—ai least more than -he would pick up as manager’of a livery stable. * “State ownership and. co-operation are mutually exclusive. They differ ‘both: in principle ‘and: in’ method. When you ‘have one, the other is un- necessary at’ least. “That is why it is true that ‘the big- gest issue of all’ has heen abandoneu by the present administration. The state officers we are trying to recall are nd: longer ‘actively backing the “Yfarmers’ program.’ They have’ aban- doned ft and are’trying to crawl un- der the tent of co-operative marketing where most fair-minded independent voters havé long been found.” PRIS creer ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS By Olive Barton Roberts “Welcome, children,” she said warmly, The Fairy Queen looked up from a letter she was reading, as Twinkle Pen, her secretary, came close to her throne and bumped his head three times on the golden steps at her feet. “How now, Penny?” she asked. “What is it?
