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.

Viewed from that standpoint it
brings us back to the fact as stated
in these columns before, that the race
is going to be a close one, so close
that the final choice of President may
be thrown to the House—or possibly
on into the Senate.
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. If you have
n’t voted yet, do so today. Clip out
the sample ballot below and mark an
X before the name of the candidate
you want to be the next President of
the United States. Show your (el-
low-voters in other states who South
Carolina wants for President.

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

ly. Wa ll be lota mot a congenial thia

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
