Wood, lieutenant gover- nor of North Dakota, loves to take a dig at the League opposition. To illustrate what will 4 happen to them he often tells this story: A Missouri farmer had a large ram. As is often the case this ram had a bad habit. He was like the ram of Daniel’s vision. He butted to the east, and butted to the west, and butted to the north, and butted to the south, A & and butted every Howard R. Wood time he saw anything in motion. The farmer decided to teach him a lesson. He took a large maul—the kind Abraham Lincoln used to split rails with. He tied a rope to -the handle and swung it to the limb of a tree. The maul hung down about three feet from the ground. He started it in motion. The ram saw it, backed off, made a dash, leaped into * the air and hit the maul with a crash. The maul swung back and the ram backed away, swinging his head and snorting, and made another lunge. And then again and again. The farmer ’lowed that would en- tertain him a while, and went in the house for supper. After supper he came out to see how he was getting along. © The ram was still butting away, but his head was battered off . down to his neck. The farmer went back in the house, took off his shoes, lit his pipe and read his paper. Just before going to bed he went out to see how the ram was getting on. He was still butting the maul, but his neck was to his shoulders. The farmer smiled and returned to the house went to bed, Early: next morning he got up, started a fire, put” on the tea- ¥ out to see how the 1 ram was. At first he could not see " him. Then he saw an object about the size of a gray squirrel jump up and hit the ‘maul. He hurried on up and found that the- ram had butted itself all away but. the tail and that was still jumping up against the maul. £ “And that’s the way with the op- position to the League in North Da- on the fam! o FEH battered off down - and kettle and hurried THE FARMER IN THE MOVIES When the hero of a movie is a sturdy farmer lad, his attempts at agriculture are infinitely sad; he arises (in the movies) at-9 or 10 a.-m., a valet helps him in his clothes, or helps him out of them. He manicures the cowses in a ’leven- dollar shirt, and wears a pair of chamois gloves to keep his hands from dirt; a milkmaid in a picture hat and a hundred- dollar dress assists him at his irksome tasks, and cheers him up, I guess. And then he hitches up his horse, a race horse, to his plow; by noon he’s plowed a section, but the pictures don’t tell how. The white duck trousers that he wears are clean as driven snow, but how he keeps them that way is much more than I know. And then he wanders to his house, a mil- lion-dollar shack, he’s hungry from the work he’s done'and wants to get a snack. A butler butles it for him, a chef pre- pares the grub, while the farmer (?) smokes a cigaret and telephones his club. The farming in the movies keeps the hero out-of harm, but it would be fun to watch him a-farming kota,” he adds, after the laughter has subsided. 4 “It’s all worn away but the tail, but that’s still butting.” Xii In one sense the controlled press is right when it speaks of the Nonparti- san league poison. It is certainly rough-on-rats. - A standpatter is a man whose poli- tics are flatfooted. There is only one question concern- ing the next congress that is interest- ing: Whether its sins of omission will be greater than its sins of com- mission. Ex-King Peter of Serbia is said to be living in a $35 flat. And when he talks to the janitor, he knows how it feels to be-living under an autocracy. . Reaction is bolshevism with the re- verse English. g Every time the big interests indulge in some new form of business oppres- sion, there is a high-brow professor ready to apologize for it with an “eco- nomic reason.” All progressives have to stand a Iot of knocks. When the rolling stone started to roll, all the old mossbacks pointed him out as a bad example. All that the 14 points seem to have left in the Paris conference is some sharp memories. The “freedom of the seas” clause in the 14 points seems to have resolved ‘itself into a “freedom of the seize” clause. Minneapolis millers, in interviews, say reducing the price of wheat won’t reduce the cost of flour. Then why reduce the price of wheat? When* a politician gets up and boosts “the league” it generally isn’t the Nonpartisan league that he means. It is more likely that he is talking for the league of nations. But » anybody who is for a league of na- tions, to end international war, ought also to be for the Nonpartisan league, to end economic war on the producers. First Farmer: “Why is the Non- partisan league like dynamite ?” -Second Farmer: “I’ll bite. Why is it?” First Farmer: “You can’t hold a candle to either of them.” I an.l not a politician, and my other_ habits are good—ARTEMUS WARD. 120 6 MONTHS LBs. | SOLBS l; I 6 MONTHS ;!‘] Shores Torpedoes Would Have Prevented It know Hog Worms cause runty Worn:; sap the hs!e out of them, absorbmtfi feed, and poison the system.
