Senator Medtll McCormick of 111 noia, tall, slender and extremely de liberate of speech, sat In the sun by the window of room 627, Hotel Fonte nelle, Monday morning and*discussed politics, farming, his children and newspaper life. He laid aside a copy of the Hiving Age and fingered his tortoiseshell glasses. The senator is one of the owners of the Chicago Tribune. He had tough luck. After he left college he became a reporter and night copy reader. "I kept at that work until I was 30,” he related. "Then they made me an editorial writer, which I didn't want to be, and then my uncle, with a stroke of the pen, made me pub lisher, which 1 despised. I liked the news end and didn't want to be con cerned with the manufacture of the paper and the collection of revenue.” But under hla administration the Tribune galloped far ahead of the( Record-Herald from a position far be hind. Heft Paper for Politics. When lie entered politics he left the paper, because it is a family tradi tion that they shall not be engaged in both occupations at the same time. Though Senator MOCormlck and his various family branches are socially elect and very wealthy, he doesn't play golf and can't dance or play cards. i. "I am a farmer,” he aaid. “I like to ride and hunt. I have the largest and best Holstein herd owned by any in dividual that I know of. We milk more than 100, and sell the certified milk In Chicago.” Th* senator -hardly looks Ilk* a milkman. His farm consists of 4.000 acres on the Rock river near Rockford, There ar* 1,500 acres of timber, and here are found the only wild deer still In (he state of Illinois. “It I-onks Hike Coolldge.” The flapper question hasn't both ered him. "My oldest daughter is 12,” he said, "and she thinks more of whipping in (he slow beagle hounds and riding her horses than any of the so-called ideas of the flapper. Of course, she doesn’t hunt anything but rabbits. Even my son, who is 8, can stick on his horse already." Regarding the political situation, the senator said in his conservative way that “It looks like Coolldge.” "It is either that or throwing the election into congress,” he declared. "It doesnt’ pay to he over confident, hut I do believe that Coolldge and Hawes will be elected In November.” MEEKER’S PILOT BELIEVED LOST ftperlnl Pi,patch to Th« Omaha Be*. Rocksprings, Wyo..

Rut In tli« and It nays you know — Hooty the Owl. Hooty the Owl I<ook» for a Dinner. Hooty the Great Horned Owl was hungry. For the most of the day he had slept. Now he impatiently waited for jolly, round, red Mr. Stin to go to bed behind flip Purple Hills and for the P.lark Shadows to come creeping Hooty was waiting for hi* little feathered and furred neighbors. through the Green Forest. It was bed time for most of the little people of the Green Meadow* end the Green Forest, hut for Hooty the Owl It was time to be abroad. Just e» soon as enough of the Black Shadows had crept through the Green Forest to make It dusky In among the trees. Hooty flew over to the top of hfs watch tower. This watch tower was the tall stump of a dead tree When Hooty perched on the top of It he look's) In the dusk to he part of tt. He was motionless. save that now and then he turned his head, and he did this so quickly that It would take a keen eye to see It. For some time Hooty sat there Just listnlng. Tou know there are no more wonderful ears In all the Green Forest than those of Hooty the Owl. With them he can hear tb» falntpst pounds, sounds that you and I wouldn't hear at all. Without those wonderful ears Hooty would not live long, he wouldn't he able to get food enough. Hooty was waiting for his little feathered and furred neighbor*, who sleep through the night, to get set tied and dose off. He was waiting for hts little furred neighbors, who. like himself, prefer night to day, to start out hunting for food. The Black Shadows came hurrying faster and faster through the Green Forest, anil It gt-pw darker and darker. Hooty'* big eyes grew' bigger and bigger. Perhaps I should «ay that the centers of them grew wider and wider'. They are eyes made for peeing at night. At last Hooty decided that tt wa* time to try his favorite trick. He hooted as only he can. It was very still fltere in the Green Forest, and Hooty’s voice was loud and startling He meant that It should he startling He knew that If there .were any little people who had Just gone to Bleep anywhere near they would he waken ed very suddenly, and they would he almost sure to move. If they moved they would he likely to rustle a leaf o£ make some other tiny sound as they stirred. , His wonderful ears would tell him Just where that tiny sound was marie. Then he would know Just where to look with thopo wonderful eyes. So the Inslant he hooted Hooty open ed those ears of his very wide and listened with all his might. There was just the faintest rustle of dry leaves a short distance away. On noiseless wings, for big as they are those wings of Monty's make no sound when he use* them, he eeented to actually float right over the spot There wa* n small squeak of frlRht. a scurry of small feet, and White wood the Wood Mouse dived Into a hole' In the ground Just In the nick of time. Hooty’* great, curved rlaws Just missed him. Hooty strapped his bill in angry dla appointment, turned swiftly and flew hack to his watch tower. Again he took up hie silent watch. He was hungry, but he ktte>v that Impatience would lose for hint what patience might gain. And so he sat and sat without making a sound “That Mouse will come out again.’’ said Hooty to hhnself. “If I wait long enough hell think I have gone away.” (Copyright, 1024 > The next story: “Patience and Ini patience ’’ Coy,ad Heady for Fires.

Third Party Move Dyin<r in Nebraska j r Dawes Speeches Break Back bone of T.a Follette Boom, Say Observers. Dawes has broken the backbone of the La Follette movement In Ne braska. This Is the opinion of hoth democrats and republicans in Oma ha. based upon The efforts of La Follette supporters here »to explain away the La Follet te-sooialist deal on ♦ he effort to emasculate the constl tutlon. The first Indication that Dawes' thrusts had struck home was In the speech made Saturday evening by Oswald Garrison Villard, editor of the Nation. The second came on Sun day. when the T.a Follette newspaper in Omaha followed the same sort of reasoning as that put forward by Vil lard, namely, that the J,a Follette proposal to give to congress the sole power to Interpret the constitution and to inaugurate any proposal, no matter how flagrantly unconstitu tional, hy the mere expedient of pass ing it a second time, did not, after all, really mean anything. Apologize for Plank. Both Villard and the La_ Follette newspaper support gave much time to calling attention to the fact that any such scheme would require a two thlrds vote of both houses of congress and the affirmative action of three fourths of the state legislatures. It ts this very fact, however, that La Follette and his socialist followers are seeking to overcome. They do not want In the constitution the very safeguards to which they now call such virtuous attention. 1m Follette wants to he able to amend the con stitution at any time congress sees fit to pass s law the second time. Both republicans and democrats In Dmalia call attention to the fact that since La Follette supporters have been forced to apologize for the chief La Follette plank there la not much life left In the movement. If the La Follette enthusiasm 1s waning In Nebraska it will mean that John TV. Davis will run secqnd in this state. Indications are not lacking that this will be true. Congressman M O, McLaughlin of the Fourth district, In Omaha Sun day, said that from a complete can vass of the situation In the various counties of his district he was con vinced Davis would run second in that district He believes, too. that Ooolldge will get a votV in the dts trict greater than hoth Davis and lav Follette combined. An indiration of the .-ollapse of the La Follette hope's !n Omaha Is shown in a straw vote taken at Hie Orpheum theater taiin day afternoon. A total of 830 votes w-as cast in the test. It showed Cool Idge 251, Davis 207 snd lav Follette 172. From Dodge countv comes the same story. Dawes spoke from the real platform* of his train at Fremont. The effects of his speech were at most Immediately apparent. Joseph Cook, chairman of the republican county committee, states that many democrats who had planned to vote for La Follette nie swinging back to Davis and that the republican linos ara holding well.
