The bonus for American soldiers
is showing -its head again in congress
and in its head rises to view there
comes over the republicans a feeling
of fear. The piesent national ad
ministration is against it, but no
plausible means as yet have been
found to keep it covered up. The
republicans realize that something
must be done, but how to do it u
beyond comprehension. Some favor
tax on light wir.es and beer, while
others favor the sales to provide the
bonus funds, neither of which will
become a law.
Politics make strange bed-fellows,
and when the game really begins it
also makes some peculiar playmates.
The array of names recently pub
lished for the vacancy in the state
chairmanship of the democratic par
ty cause many a tongue to wag and
many a democrat to dream strange
dreams. Consistency is a jewel.
Personal political ambition is a
fast growing weed. I remember last
winter that no sooner had the pres
ent governor taken the oath of of
fice and was declared the chief exec
utive of North Carolina, the game
for four years hence began instant
ly, and the cards were shuffled for
another hand. Some people think
more of personal political prefer
ment than they thing of political
service, and if these same people
would put forth as much energy in
serving this state as in serving them
selvesi the public would be the gain
ers ' '. ' "
'So Eugene V. Debs is free at last,
released from the Atlanta prison by
padan-of the president. When ask
ed his views on the release of the
political prisoners, he said, "I left
2,300 men back there in prison, and
they all should be given their liber
ty. They are all friends of mine."
Debs' was convicted in 1918 of try
ing t obstruct the draft. He was
sentenced to ten years in the Atlan
ta prison.. If his asttement as quoted
above istrue, he seems as defiant as
ever of governmental authority.

WHAT THE AGRICULTURAL
BLOC IS TRYING TO DO.
Senator W. S. Kenyon in the Jan-;
uaiy i -sue of Farm Life, writes very
eleaiiy about what the agricultural
bloc in congress is and what is will I
attempt to do in congress at the'
present session.
This bloc has as its program the
passage of three very important ;
measures, and if. the signs of thej
times e true, some of these meas-
ures :f not all will be put thru. I
The first bill we will try to pass
is the one to require that agriculture
shall be represented on the federal
reseiva board, he says. It is the
intention to bring this up in the sen
ate and pass it at the earliest op
portunity. The senators who are
backing this measure intend to pro
vide, if .-possible that th e person ap
pointed to the federal, reserve board
representing agriculture shall be a
genuine fanner, one who is actively
and, in good faith, engaged in farm
ing and not simply an agricultural
ist, -v . .f -
The need for a farmer on the fed
eral reserve board is so "well known
that I do not mean to discuss it at
length, For many months, there has
been complaint among the farmers
of the country and the complaint
has been justified that the federal
reserve board had no adequate. grasp
and understanding of the Credit need
of the farmers, including the live
stock men,:thevgrin..rnen, and oth
ers. The - board ' has .been freely
charged .' with having no sympathy
with the farmers and with 'the agri
cultural industry. , .
The agricultural bloc will insist
that a man who is himself a farmer
and who has a thoro grasp of the
needs of the farmer in respect to
loans and, credits bejnamed. I, believe
this: bill jwill, - pas'i .ialtho there will
be strong.' objection- to ; it ; from; a
number of senators and from vari
ous interests. ' ; - -,
The J second' bill ' which ; will r be
pressed by the agricultural bloc this
scason.,is .the, cooperative; marketing
measure. The.qurpo'se ..thi.; bill is
to iieoui r- -f-
mprs in the- buying and .selling of

TRY just one sack of Occo-nee-chee Self
Rising Flour and see what it saves you.
See what wonderfully good biscuits, waffles
and hot cakes you can make every time you
use it.
You don't have to worry about measuring
out baking powder, soda and salt. They are
already mixed in Occo-nee-chee Flour, in
just the right proportions. Their cost is
less when used this way than when bought
separately.
By adding water or milk and shortening to
Occo-nee-chee Flour your batter is ready for
cooking. Think of the time and bother that
saves. And you can be absolutely sure of its
turning out right.
These are the reasons for the great popu
larity of Occo-nee-chee Flour among common
sense housekeepers. Order a sack from your
grocer. You can tell it by the Indian Head on
the front. It will pay you.

Self -Rising Flour
Takes the Guess out of Baking; and Saves you Money
in the farming industry for periods
ranging from nine months to two
years or thereabouts.
The ordinary short-term credits
for thiee months or less are not ade
quate for the farming industry. The
purpose is to have the proposed cre
dits based on commodities, on the
products of the farm, or the ranch,
or the plantation.
If you curtail the buying power
of the farmers, you cripple the whole
nation. The day cf Dives and Laza
rus as applied to the fanners of this
country is about gone, and agricul
ture is no longer content to take
merely the crumbs that fall from
the table of other industries.
All the farmers are asking is a
square deal and that is all the agri
cultural bloc is seeking for them.
