LaFollette for the presidency becomes the real dark horse in the presidential campaign. The hope, of course, is not to win the election, but to secure enough electoral college votes for LaFollette to throw the election into the House of Representatives, and the experience of the last Congress is sufficient to indicate that anything may happen then, That LaFollette would be a candidate has been the con- viction of political observers for months. The apparent hesi- tation of the Senator has been nothing unusual in his long po- litical career, nor in the political game. It was, doubtless, to 2 large extent staged and the Wisconsin Senator’s manner of permitting opinion among his followers to consolidate stamps him as a practical politician of no mean ability. The Cleveland Convention called itself progressive. There is no hard and fast definition, in politics, that separates the progressive from the other brands. The Cleveland con- verition was not composed of radicals as was the St. Paul convention, although the progressivism of many of the leaders in the Cleveland convention would lead them into somewhat similar paths of action. They definitely commit- ted themselves against Communism, at ‘least, by summarily rejecting a participant in the St. Paul radical convention as a member of their own. The LaFollette platform sent to the convention contains many proposals for radical changes, though it does not pro- ceed to the point where changes are demanded in the gov- ernment such as the Communists might demand. Wise, honest service in the government would accomplish many of the objects set forth, under any party banner. LaFollette will have a loose organization. Were it sud- denly swept into power there would likely be more lack of utity than blighted the Republican majority in the last Con-. gress. It is quite possible that the new party may have an important effect on the fortunes of the Republican or Dem- ccratie standard bearers in the presidential campaign, but tho possibility of the third party accomplishing much more than defcating the candidates of one of the old parties itr a0te.

A HOPEFUL CROP_OUTLOOK Wheat is now in the “shot blade,” or, in other words, the heads are just ready to shoot out, and the wheat. harvest will be on within 30 days. These next 30 days will be critical. days for the whole Northwest, for on. the weather of this period will large ly depend the outcome of this year’s wheat sand small grain crop. At the present time there is in prospect an unusually fine crop of wheat in North Dakota—but hot, blighting winds in July might yet do much damage to it. Old pioneers of the state, however, say that there is the probability of a cool July, judging from past years. So far this But whether it does or not, there is one consoling factor for the whole agricultural area of the Northwest, and that is a marked improvement in prices on alljof the main grain crops and much of the other principal prod- ucts of the region. One year ago, July 3, 1923, the price of No. 1 Northern wheat in Fargo was 98 cents a bushel and Durum wheat was 87 cents. On July 3, this year, No. 1 Northern wheat was $1.22 2 bushel in Fargo and Durum wheat was $1.08. A year ago No. 2 white oats were 36 cents in Fargo; barley was 48 cents; No. 1 rye was 49 cents. This year on July 3 found white oats at 45 cents; barley at 55 cents and rye at 65 cents. A year ago butterfat was selling ir Fargo at 37 cents a pound, packing stock butter at 18 cents and eggs at $5.10 a case. This year butterfat is 41 cents; packing stock, 24 cents, and eggs $6.90 a case. Flax is the only item of the princi- pal agricultural products quoted daily in The Forum that shows a fell- ing off in price. A year ago flax was selling at $2.36 a bushel. This year it is $1.19, This general advance, thing the farmer has to sell, is en- couraging. It proves one thing con- clusively: the great economic laws of supply and demand are slowly but surely bringing about that balance which was, certain to follow a con- as Mister Zip said.

It is in the busi- ness of every one of us, whether we are of the poor who plant potatoes or the idle rich who buy limousines. We see what is on the backs of the cards but it is what is upon their faces that counts.

And I need extra help.” “Oh, will we do?” asked Nancy eagerly. “Hopping rain toads!” exclaimed Mister Zip. Don’t go so fast, please. I was coming to that pretty soon. Well, as I was saying, I need help, so I went to the Fairy Queen and told her my troubles.” “And what did she say?” asked Nick. “There! There!” laughed Mister Zip. “I'l tell you what the Fairy Queen said. She said, ‘Go to the Twins at once, Mister Zip, and take them these magic shoes. Nancy and Nick are the best little helpers I know, and these magic shoes will make them just the right size so they won't be stepping on you all the time.” And so saying he reached down behind the stone and held up the two pairs of green shoes. Nancy and Nick slipped the shoes on and suddenly a funny thing hap- pened, The place where the Twins had stood was as empty as air. It seemed as though the ground must have opened up and swallowed them. Mister Zip was so astonished that he fell clear off the stone he was sit- ting on. “Where are you, Twins?” he called loudly. “Nancy! Nick!

WouldGiveallCitizens Over Forty, Two Votes By Milton Bronner NEA Service Writer London, July 7.—In Great Brit- ain all male citizens over 21 now have the vote. Women over 30 and possessing certain financial and reridential qualifications, also have the vote. Parliament is now consia ering making, all women over 21 vot- Ts.

We are not referring to impossible tasks, but to cases where a sort of invisible presence seems to frustrate us, as if we were on the wrong track and being warned away. | You've heard people say: . “I’ve been trying to, do that thing for months. But something always goes wrong when- ever I get busy on it.” : uv The element of luck or fate intervenes. We know a man who is a star traveling salesman. | It is quite plainly his intended work, but he dislikes it. Time | after time, having saved up a “grubstake,” he has quit sales- manship and tried farming in various forms—from truck gardens to chicken ranches. 8 a He puts his last ounce of effort into these excursions into ‘farming. But somehow he is never able to make a go of it. Always he fails and is driven back to the selling game. This salesman says: ‘I have decided that every one is put on earth for some definite purpose. We succeed if we do what we were intended to do in this life, even though it is not what we want'to do. ‘Nature endows us with certain { gifts or abilities for doing what we were intended to do— our mission on earth. If we stick to our plain duty, we'll be reasonably prosperous.” You probably. have read “Twenty Years of Hustling,” the book that’ used to have such a big. sale. in auction rooms. It is a history of its author’s life. For 20 years he roamed, trying all sorts of schemes, mostly street gelling. Every time he’d go broke, he’d get out an old formila he had, and mix up a batch of polish. It was fine polish, sold like hot- cakes, ‘always pulled him out of the hole. It took him 20 years to waken to the fact that his fortune was in this polish. Then he settled down, built a factory, manufactured polish on a big scale, became very successful. Making and selling polish was what he was intended to do. The thing we do best and most easily isthe thing we are intended to do. Yes, even though it isn’t what we want to do. As the vaudeville b&king agents say: ‘When they can sing they want to dance. And when they can dance, they want to sing.” 5 VALUE OF SOUP The fact that-it- is “hot” is used by many as an argument against soup in summer.

No French government has ‘dated levy’ war. taxes similar to those in vogue'in America and England.;. - ‘ . And now comes an extraordinary story of the‘ actions ‘of the ‘peasanv folk living on‘ the littte\farms,near Teano, between’ Rome‘ and’ Naples. Mussolini had named a royal com- missioner to collect taxes, many of which were two yéars in arrears. So one day: the farmers came’ to town, beat up the commissioner, set fire to the town hall-and endeavored to destroy the tax books. The Ital- ian government was forced to send great numbers of troops to the dis- trict to restore order. The London crowd is the most patient, ‘the best-natured,’ tho mest considerate on earth. In New York we have suffocating crowds in the subway every day, but we never get used to it. We curse the authgrities who al- low it and we curse the transporta- tion trust. In London ordinarily most people get, seats in the subway. But recently an unofficial strike, not countenanced by the unions, ser. iously crippled the subway servic2. The result was Londoners got the unusual and unconifortable sensa- tion of a New York rush hour period. But nobody cussed either the com- pany or the strikers.. People got on and off the trains as quietly as’ pos- sible. And evarybody tried to help everybody else. There was no ap- parent loss of temper.
