They look upon the farming industry as a business and take just as much pride in making a success of that business as do other business men They are notradicals. As a heavy feed er of stock I know the farmer sent iment. "The farmers alhi ee that they have a grievance. They are coming back strong and they appreciate it. They want to build and not destroy. They want their problems worked out in an ordely way. There has been a great change during the past 30 days. We heard much of the La Koiletto wave among the farmers but it wasn't crystalized and didn't stick. Senator Houston is credited with having originated- the “Common Sense" slogan. During the republican state convention in Lincoln this sum mer. he said from the platform: “The people are tired of so much Jazz in politics. They want good horse sense in public affairs." In his campaign to overthrow Congressman Edgar Howard, Senator Houston has traveled 2.2000 miles in the Third dlstrirt.

According to Ion ter* and surveyor* who have been over this held during the last ihree years the prospect is encour aging and owners have finally been prevailed upon to enter Into an ex ploitation lease with * big dulling firm. • ’ on me way 10 pore m a siumi the schooner shipped considerable water through her hatches, and the dogs, foxes and other animals tether ed on the deck had to swim for It at times. ‘‘The Eskimo flappers haven't bobbed their hair yet. but they like to smoke clgarets," MacMillan said. “They used to have trouble finding enough girls to go around, but this year for some reason there is a small surplus and a number of unmarriad young women—a very unsual condi tion among the polar Eskimos. Buys Potatoes. “One of the biggest surprises of the trip was when I bought a bag of potatoes Ht liiske, the farthest north settlement in Greenland. I thought they had grown them some where, but In reality they were im ported from Denmark." MacMillan said that the Bowdoin's radio worked remarkably well. it was the first trip of eight, he said, in which he was able to send and receive messages to and from his family and frlenus. The ship's station sent about 12,000 words and received more than 100,000 words of press news alone. About 20,000 feet of motion pic tures were taken along and shown to Eskimos, including several taken in the voy age of 1117. The natives stood spellbound on the ship as they saw friends and relatives, some of them long since dead, brought back to life nnd motion by the while man’s magic machine. Previous indications that glaciers ate advancing and not retreating have been confirmed. Glaciers, which in (lie memory of Eskimos now liv ing had not reached the sea, now are t the seashore and breaking off into iceberg*. This phenomenon, Mac Millan said, should mean #n increased number of Icebergs in the Arctic cur rent off Newfoundland, Radio. Coming hack to radio. Dr. MacMil lan said that the chief radio phe nomena noted was that communi cation was practically impossible witlt all eastern station*, although Annapolis. Md . wss heard faintly at times. Stations on the Pacific coast were plainly heard, and the one eta lion that could be depended upon at all times was the one at Prince flu pert, operated by in amateur named Barnsley. MacMillan said that he had heard b.v radio of the discovery of “white Indians In Panama." They are Albinos, he declared. “White Eskimos? I've seen lots of them," he added. "Tliev only mean that some other white men had been there ahead of you; they are ha'f breeds" The Bowdoin brings back in addi tion to much scientific data In the fields of geology, meteorology and ornithology, a great variety of furs. Eskimo canoes, arms and carved Ivory. Four Eskimos accompanied th* ex plorer on the exploration*, together with 70 dogs. Among the natives was Took A-Suk, Dr. Cook s guide Captain MacMillan says that Cook la well remembered by the natives who laugh at his claims, declaring that lie spent the winter on done* Sound. 500 mile* south of the North Pole. Referring to Ills prediction made In 1123 that the Babrador gold rush would fall. MacMillan to'd of meeting one group of explorers haavtlv heard ed, who had sworn not to ehave until they had found gold. New Church at Plaiuview Dedicated Free of Debt PI# In view.
