rarmer-Solon Gives W arning ^ of Revolution Magnus Johnson Declares Up heaval Faces U. S. If Con ditions Confronting Farmer Not Changed. By Associated Frees. St. Paul, Minn., July 26.—Revolution —political, industrial or even resort to arms—faces the United States “if conditions confronting the laboring man and the farmer are not charged,” In the opinion of Magnus Johnson, re cently elected senator from Minne sota on the farmer-labor ticket. “Many think the same thing that happened in Russia cannot happen In this country," the senator-elect said today In a statement to the Associated Press, “but don't fool yourself. It could happen here before you knew what was going on." “The cr.ar had a big army, but he couldn't stop a revolution. AVe haven't hardly any army at all. so what could our government do if there was a na tlon-wlde revolution? It couldn’t do a thing." Many things need changing, the senutor-elect said, when asked if he had a definite plan for altering con ditions, but "right now lie has noth ing” worked out. It will "all have to be worked! out by congress,” he said. "The farmer should have cost of production, plus a reasonable profit, definitely guaranteed by tfie'govern ment," Mr. Johnson holds, “because the farmers4 products have lost their buying pow’er and when the farmer can’t buy the country will soon feel It." To accomplish the desired result will be necessary . fot congress 10 proceed carefully, but right now temporary or "emergency” legisla tion is needed to take care of the sit uation for this year, he added. Ex plaining "some of the things that can lead to revolution,” the senator elect said ”65 per cent of the wealth ,of the country is in the hands of 2 per cent of the population” and un less "there is a better distribution of this wealth, the common people are going to revolt against It.” This "better distribution of wealth,’* he said, “could be accom plished through heavier taxation of large and successful corporations, taxing of non-productive incomes, ex cess profits and profiteers. AA'ith reg ulation of their activities so added tax burden could not be shifted again to the people.''

Burgess Bedtime Stories By THORNTON W. BI RGKSS. A hom§ in n*»v*r found; ’tin mad*. And therein Ilesi a woman * trade — Nanny Meadow Moum*. Nanny Makes a Kind of Her Own. Tiie old rusty can hidden in the grass at the foot of a fence post on the edge of Farmer Brown's corn field was a regular castle to Danny and Nanny Meadow- Mouse. Danny took some soft, dry grass into it and they slept in it. But still Nanny didn't go to work to build a regular nest, the kind of a nest in which to raise a family. Danny knew by this that she hadn’t yet fully made up her mind to stay there. It suited Danny perfectly. He was sure they never could find a better place. But Nanny kept making little trips here and there. She was still looking around. It was on one of these little trips that she made her great find. Never in the world will you guess what it was. It was a scarecrow. Yea. air. it was a scarecrow. It stood only a little way off in Farmer Brown's cornfield. It had been put there early In the spring by Farmer Brown's Boy to try to keep Blacky the Crow and his friends away from the young corn. Of course, Nanny didn't know w hat it was. When she first found It it frightened her. But it didn’t take her long to find out that it was harm Ye*, sir, it was a scarecrow. less. There waa an old pair of trousers, and above this an old coat buttoned tightly around a bundle of straw. On top of It was an old hat. When Nanny had made up her mind that it was quite harmless she ven tured to climb up s leg of those old trousers. Then she explored every part of that scarcecrow. And ss she explored her eyes grew brighter and brighter. Finally Nanny ran down and went to hunt for Danny. She found him close beside the old tin can. "Come,” so commanded Nanny. "Come: I've found a place for our new home.” For the life of him Danny couldn't Imagine anything better than that old tin can for a home, but he didn’t say so. Wisely he held his tongue and merely followed Nanny. He had learned by experience that In matters of home making Nanny would have her way. She led him straight over to the old scarecrow. When he saw it he stopped abruptly. That thing looked too much like a man. But Nanny didn’t atop. She ran straight over to it and up one leg. Danny almost lost his breath when lFremen were In momentary dang he mw her do It. “Coma on,” ahe squeaked. Of course. It. wouldn't de to let Nanny think he was afraid to do anything which she did. so Danny scrambled up after her. Then Nanny took him all over that old scarecrow. She showed him the pockets in the old coat. She showed him the pockets In the old trousers. She showed him how they could make a nest In the middle of that bundle of straw with which that old coat was stuffed, ller little eyes fairly snapped wfth excitement. "It's better then thst old nest of Redwing's." she declared. "It Is the last place In all the Great World that any one would expect to find us. Ever since we lived In that nest In the alder bush I have hated to think of going back and living on the ground. Now we won't have to. This will make a wonderful home. Did you ever see anything Ilka It, Danny Meadow Mouse?” "No—o—o,” replied Danny rather slowly. Tou see It was hard work to give up that tin can he had found.
