COOLIDGE, LA FOLLETTE AND DAVIS RUNNING NECK AND NECK . z?- Regardless of hopes, wishes, pre dictions and a brave whistling of poli tical leaders as they amble through various graveyards, September indi cations concerning our November election have convinced many keen students that there will be many sur prises when the last November vote has been tabulated. This newspaper’s nation-wide pre sidential poll*is now into its fourth week of balloting. Through its con nection with the Publishers Autocas ter Service of New York, The Chroni cle is co-operating with some seven thousand newspapers published in every state. Returns from twenty- one states have been received— enough from each section of the coun try to indicate, in a small way at least, the trend of sentiment there. Coolidge is running strong in the East- Davis’ strength is in the South. La Follette, as expected, is strongest in the North and Northwest. Some 100,000 votes have been cast in this trial balloting. The vote is evenly divided, Coolidge leading with a total of 36,301, La Follette is second with 30,830, and Davis is a close third with 30,551. This in a way bears out the fig ures tabulated by other straw votes. The Heart newspaper group, made up of some fourteen newspapers publish ed in the principal cities of the na tion, hpve polled a straw, vote of 95,- 000 ballots. That vote from the cities show La Follette first with 40,686, Coolidge second with 37,249, and Davis a third with 17,410. The nation-wide poll in which this newspaper is participating is repre sentative of the small town and rural vote. The Heart straw vote is almost exclusively from the big cities. Combining this newspaper’s poll from the country with the Hearst poll from the city, we have a total of 193,027 votes divided as follows: j Coolidge, 73,550; La Follette, 71,516,, and Davis, 47,961. The votes in these polls are of. course popular votes and not exactly j clearly indicative of the electoral [ strength of the thre:, candidates, j However, the tabulation of this news- j paper’s nation-wide voting by state to date offers the opportunity of studying electoral strength.

The Literary Digest is conducting a secret straw vote, but as yet has made flou announcement of returns. The votes polled by the Digest will in the majority come from the larger towns ancMhe cities. Many things may happen between now and November, any one of which would switch the vote make it, final and decisive at the polls. However, political leaders in all parties are watching these Presidential polls closely, and you will be rendering them a service if you vote in this Presidential poll and show them the strength of your respective candi dates in this territory.

(Copyright ) 4 J UANA MAPES had been “taken on" the staff of Smart Modes as an "associate editor,” and the Important title she bore did a good deal to make up f'»" the fact that her salary, to begin wiih. amounted to but fifteen dollars a week. She had scrimped and scraped for four years to get her college degree and It did seem a bit of a hardship that now she should have to take less for her services than most girls did Just after leaving high school. Still, she was doing the sort of work she wanted to do and she was an “associate edi tor." “Of course, you won’t expect to live on what you make for several years," said the editor In chief when she talked the situation over with Juana, “but what you make may at least pay your lunches and taxi fares." “And one of the things that goes with your Job," continued the editor, "Is to write the musical reviews. My secretary will give yon the tickets to spneerts that copie, and from them and the music magazines you can get to gether your review. Look up the sort of thing we run in the files—” “But I’m not musical,” said Juana, regretfully. “I don’t know one note from another. I couldn’t whistle ‘Yan kee Doodle.’ I—" “All the better," said the editor, with an air of having dismissed the matter. “If you were musical yon might try to write high-brow reviews. All we want Is the smart, smattery sort of thing. You'll see In the flies—" “But I never went to • concert In my life—" "It’s part of your Job," said the edi tor. And that was the end of the dls- cusslbn. Juana was bewildered and discour aged at the first symphony concert she attended. She studied the pro gram carefully to see whether It would offer any explanation of the perform ance. She turned around to regard the expressions of the audience. Their faces were practically expressionless— they all looked about as animated as patients waiting In a dentist’s office. Perhaps, thought Juana, this betokened patience, that they were watting for something to be played that would be different. But nothing did happen— nothing that gave Juana Inspiration. She observed, however, that the young man beside her occasionally Jot ted something down on a small note book. He was listening intently. Ap parently. thought Juana, he was one who understood. She wished that she might see what he Wrote down, but that would be like cheating at exam inations. Two days later Juana went to an other concert, occupying the same seat In the same auditorium, and to her distinct satisfaction found the same young mqn sitting beside her. She felt that If she could only get ac quainted with him he might be able to help her to understand the music. In the meantime she wrote her first review—she told in a light and read able manner of the musical outlook for the season, which she got very largely from the announcements of the press agents. And she described, in semt-humorous manner, the manners of a fashionable audience at a concert. “First-rate,” praised the editor as she looked over the copy. "If you knew too much about music you couldn't do thatJ!— The third time that Juana sat be side the music critic from the Evening Phinet she-qJtIced that he looked at her as if he would like to have her rec ognize him'.’ After all there was no reason why she shouldn’t. A girl didn’t hesitate to speak to the than student she sat next to week after week in college lecture rooms. At the first In termission Juana looked at him and said: "Wonderful, Isn't it?" “You mean—the piusic?” queried the man. "Why, yes.” That wn/t the introduction. Juana didn’t tell her neighbor that she knew who he was. But she wanted to let him know that she admired his work, for slit read it conscientiously every f?at unlay when it appeared in the Planet. “There was a fine review last Satur day In the Planet,” she said to her neighbor at the first intermission one duy not bmg afterwards. “I read I: every week.” “You do?” queried tbc man. ‘*1 writ* that stuff'," be added rather disnia1l\ “But If you want to read some renll. snappy musical criticism you omrlit L read what’s beon ai pearing in Smar Modes. That's the kind of stuff' t!:a tho people want—hut you can't writ like teat unless you have been eatb ami drinking music all your life. It' spontaneous.” “Well, I ^viite that,” said Juana. " don’t think it's very good, though.” Her companion stretehod out a ban Py way of congratulation and Juan shook it in return. <>n the strength < tneir community of interest lh ha tea together after the concert. Befor long they were well acquainted. The:, the young man—Bob Turner—aske*. Juana to marry him. "But I must confess something.” h« said. "I don’t know a blamed thluy about music, really. I’m about aS mu Blcal naturally as an alligator. Bm when they took me on us dranmtli critic of the Planet they said I'd have to be the music critic, too. That was part of the Job—ao—” * ‘Then I’ll marry yon," aald Juana. 'You see I really am one of the moat unuinghnl people in the world, natural ly. Wa ll be lota mot a congenial thia wey." ‘ ' Mange Mites of Hogs Cause Loss Pest Is Most Troublesome During Cold Months Whea Hogs Are Marketed. (Prepared by (be United States De partment of Agriculture.) Heavy losses of pork products do* to mange aiites of hogs have been re ported lately to the United States De partment of Agriculture by Its Ins,tee- tors in the Central West.' in addiiio* to being an Irritation to hogs, raanU- ing in -general unth rift in ess. mang* mitts cause meat losses running bu* hundreds of thousands of dollars an nually. according to recent informatloa obtained. Ite|>orts by J. O. Witaon, chief veterinary Inspector of the reau of animal industry stationed In South Dakota, are now being studied by department specialists from an eco nomic, as well as from a veterinary standpoint. Through the courtesy of H. K. Veenker, superintendent of n large packing house in Sioux Falls, SL Doctor Wilson obtained sufficient evidence of avoidable losses to snggeot concerted action in reducing tbe rav ages of the mange parasite. Damage Vital Parts. 1 Fully 40 per cent of the bog* slaughtered In South Dakota durinc the winter months of 1023-24 showed evidence of the mange miles, thoogt* only about one-hulf of that num ber were sufficiently affected as t* cause deffnite losses. The mange pant- sites damage the hams, bacons and picnics principally—the parts of th« hog that are of greatest value Tb* pest Is most troublesome daring tb« colder months, when most hogs marketed. The damage to hog carcasses by the mites assumes the form off roughened skins and Inflammation. la some cases the meat Is entirely nallt for food. In other Instances the In jury places the pork products from such hogs In the lower grades, whlcls have a reduced market value of from 3 to 5 cents. The observations made In South Dakota are believed to ba typical of other Important swino- growlng states. Loss Preventable. " 4 The United States Department of Agriculture points out that losses dun to mange mites are largely preventa ble. Treatment consists In the appli cation of various simple remedies^ ranging from mixtures of kerosenn and lard to specially prepared nilte- control dips. The Imps may be treated by hand application, hog oilers, spray ing, medicated hog wallows, or' by dip ping. In applying the treatment swine owners should always treat tha entire herd, whether all animals show infection or not. Medicated hog wal-, lows are one of the most practical means of reducing mange-mite Infec tion, since the Instinct habit of hogs is to wallow in water. By medicating the water in properly constructed wal lows the remedies take effect with s minimum expenditure of money, tlnw and labor. Farmers’ Bulletin 1085, “Hog Mites and Hog Mange,” discusses practical methods of control and eradication Handling Clay Soils Is Most Difficult Problem Of all the various types of soil to b« found, none when properly handled are more prpductlve than *he heavy clay. The very fineness of these soils gives them a large water-holding ca pacity, which will adapt them to tbs production of sniuli grains and grasses. The management of these soils pre sents special problems for considera tion. Their fineness gives them a ten dency to bake and to require mors than the usual amount of labor in cul- ivation. The lack of sufficient sur face or undCrdrainage makes them ■■old and wet iff the spring, and when there is u lack of vegetable or organic matter, they are hard to work and less productive. One of the great drawbacks with fids type of soli is the fineness of the soil particles. To offset this condition, tbe farm practice should he so ar ranged that the operations will aye- temntically open up and make these soils more porous. Special attention must be given to the time and type of plowing and cultivation. Heavy • lay soils should be fall plowed when the moisture content is right. It worked when wet, they are npt t® puddle and bake. While It is neces sary to plow these stalls deeply, the depth should be lowered gradually. The early working of these s»dls, in the spring, is most important. Hessian Fly Infestation Volunteer wheat is one of the great est sources of Hessltih fly infestation to full-sown wheat. Conditions that are f: too ruble to the germination of volunteer wheat are conducive also to the early emergence of the fly. Sine® this is the only food present, the flies infest it and later broods attack the regular crop. The destruction of all volunteer wheat before planting is, therefore, on Important step In He* sian fly control. (Jutting Soy Dean Hay Soy beans may tie cut for bay at any time between the full bloom stagehand the stage when the leaven begin to turn yellow^about five weeks later. Yield, ease of curing, and quality of hay will mainly determine tbe thnn to cut. The largest yle*d obtainable at one cutting fls secured by wfcea about one-fourth of tbe
