Of tills number of bills, no bill hasauythluj; in it to pro rule a stable price for tho farmer's grain and live stock. How .can the lartuor hold out ualnst tho different corporations which now regulate the ptlcesof farm products unless they 'Udte for direct political action.' Only one bill has been introduced, and this ne by Senator flooding, for the bone- dt of the farmer. legislating teais t.e fnnnei's organizations mid is liy. ng to keep them out.

Ids h able opponent, had in'istale I the i nation for debate and Iherofoie his iiguinptit was not based upon the (iiciion for debate. Mr Doom -luted (h i theie were tinly four funnels orgniiz.itlons in Nidnuska, that were s'ate wide in , existence These ere 1 1. l''a filler's Union, tho Kipiltj, N'on I'mtlsnti leaKue, and the lliaiiiu Mr. Iloom sta'ed that he was '.vl tli his li"iioiube opponent when it came to th funnel h uniting, but when it came lo the different farm or gunlzalions uniting, it never could lie dune, because if they were to unite and try to puss laws, one org'inlzitlon would want this, and would waul something clue, another would still want things a little different and it would be a fight on right there, they could not get along auv letter than a cat and dog trying to eat out of the same bowl Mr. llootn brought out the fact that some man would not change his way of voting because "Well, inv father and and my grand fa her all voted a straight ticket and It's too'late now for me do chanire ' He stateil there were too many diiret cut idois of tho farmers, and the fanners in tho different organize lions to gt together and form direct political action. The lust statementof Mr. Iloom, hearing with It the most weight, was that the bylaws an i ijonstituti'ins of ihusc four stafe-wi le orgaul.ali ins would lot permit that organization to enter into politicks for direct actn n. !r. H'oner, the seen i-l speaker foi the aillruritive, did not restate the qucst'on imt held lo the question as .Mr. tjoplev, hi eollcaeue, luid statoil it that tio fanners, instead of tin fill II) oivimizutious, should unite for political action. Mr. Stoner read of the hlstoi v rd' farmers fifty years ago trying to u'ei duecr political action. He stated that Captain John Smith, the leudu- of tho Virginia Colony in l(!07, once -aiil, "They that do not woi k, shall not cut". Mr. Stoner then point ed out that it had been that way witli the farmers of Nebiaska the past three years and that it was time that they organized for diiect political action. Mr. .Stoner was only getting nicely started when tiniH was called. He pleaded for more time to talk and his his hnuoratdc opponent was kind enough to grant him all the titno he wanted. Mr. Stoner then read of ha -pollings back In liiblc limes to help nold his argument together, lie end ed that debate by reading u slimt speech by President Harding, ivhlc'c stated that the fanners sluhild nolle for direct political action. The s.-eond speaker on tho negative, Mr. Koertner, pulnl"d out again, the fact that their honorable opponents hud ini-stated tho question. Mr. ICoert. uer refilteil the s'litemenf uiiidli by Mr Stoner, his h inoiubl" opponeu', that the oiyunr I'tou of some IH'lv vcus ago, lr.

The negative icbuttal was followed by one given by Mr. Copley. Mr. Cop ley made a few further statements to prove some of the first statements lie had made. Mr. Copley said that the faun organizations of California or those of New Iihigland states would not be conserved about the utV.iirs of tho farmers of Nebraska should unite for Direct Political Action The decision of the judges was two for the alllnnatlve and one against " After the debate the Hlghlnnd iar let sang two other songs which were enjoyed by all.

She hung up the receiver ami stood with clasped hands In the middle id tho mom? "Dear fiod," she prayed, ".some day, In Thine own good titno give me buck my husband." About an hour after this John Win ston was sitting In n cafe with u very bountiful woman.

He was forty years old mid had u Job us a clerk which brought him in $.'l lie wns married, hut had no children. On this particular afternoon he was leaving early. It was u Friday, mid j hy arrangement he had to stay Saturday afternoons. As he walked up the hill toward his homo Ids dog caiuo hounding to meet him, leaping up at him. It was an old dog twelve yours o !, nml ho hud had it before he married, Ilo stooped and putted It. "Well, Ranger, old boy, we've gone through some J lines together," he said. was ii little sentlulentiil with his dog, because It was all he had to he sentimental with. He lit his pipe, nnd ho dawdled, so us not to get homo too soon. Ho wus not eager to get homo, lie wns not eager to moot Kiln. Sometime on those Friday after noons, during the walk home, Luwson Indulged In the luxury of bitterness. At such times Ids past would rise be fore him. Ho would remember his fa ther's home, from which he had been expelled for an act of boyish folly, his struggles, his love ufl'ulr that had ended so disastrously. lie had been madly In love with Mary Haines. Hut he had been a poor clerk, and she had boon brought up In luxury. She had promised to wait for him. She hud waited a year, two years three. Then, instead of the expected promotion, Law son had lost his Job. He wont lo Mary ami they talked things over. There was no hope that ho would bo able to niairy her, per haps for yours, lie had released her. She hud boon too proud to refuse. She would have waited endlessly. lie had seen that aft oi ward, when it was loo late. Hut she had married an other; and he bud mairled another, too, Ilo had married F.Ila In the reac tion. She had captured him on the tide of misery. She was a vain, shal low little thing, and had never cured for him, uny more than ho had cared for her. They had quarreled from the beginning, all through the honeymoon. She had craved 'hlugs that ho had been unable to give her. had been envious of the neighbors, of the wom en. s clothes, ot their cars. . . . Yes, l.awson had gone through hid eous times with her. Of late, however, Kiln's outbursts hud grown loss fre quent. Hut. dear Lord, how long could It last! lie was wondering, as he climbed the hill with Ranger, whether ho wus hound to u lifetime of this serv itude. And nil his being responded to llio call of the far spaces. To ho free, to go out Into the world, to live niuotig men! lie would go West, he would phty a man's part In tho free world, get to know the sun mid moon end slurs, to r-:id the faces Of his lellow-l'ien Alwn.vs he had dro.iuied that, until bis lot hml tied him lo a desk In tl o grinding, shriek ing f.n tory. And now he was going homo to Kiln. Sh" would offer him hr mid cheek at the- dour, and they would quarrel over the supper, or the we.ilher, there wore always things to quarrel over. Then i4ght witild conic hideous, Inimitable night, and the umiMitig arising, and the fiu tory whistle! And ulwnjs tho f.uv of his lost love, In the dark hours-, to torment him! Ilo was marly ho.ue now. Kven Ranger seemed to become subdued, In compliance with his muster's mood. Now ho was ut the door and opening it. I In knew immediately that Klla was not in tho house. There was that sense of freedom. . . . Perhaps she had gone into town, shopping. Sometimes he had a respite like this, for which ho never ceased to bo grate ful, lie wandered through the shabby rooms. And "How long?" the soul within him culled. Ilo perceived a letter addressed to himself In Kllu'.s writing, lying on (he table, lie opened It. read it. She had left him forever. She had gone avvny vfth Tedernuinn, n fellow clerk. Ilo would never see her again. Unto hteiithod from ever line. He had never guessed she hated him so much. He folded up the letter, Ut u match and burned It. All the unholy past seemed to shrivel away with It. He stopped outside and whistled to Ids dog. "Ranger, old man, we're free at lust," lie said. "We're going West."

The winning of the grand chanjpion ship in the buriovv class at the Inter .K.tionai was in large measure due to die expert care on the part of Felbc Roy, who as herdsman at the Okla noina Agriculture College has cared for Oklahoma lung every since tiic I'ig's birth. Felix Roy's story is in lerestmg as showing how pig club work can arouse the real interest of a l)jy. When 10 years of age he join ed a club and that fall won first witli .; Uuroc Gilt at the Oklahoma uts.te f ir.

Those who inclined to treat the question of pig cluj vvnk lightly ttill find food for t.iought in the re cord of Felix Roy. We like the way Joe Haaga of the National Duroc Association speak.-, of pig club work when lie says: "All around us on farms todr.y are th i. rand.s of Felix Roys. They are the best trcre is.
