Magnus Johnson, farmer-laborite, was elected United States senator from Minnesota Monday to succeed the late Senator Knute Nel son, according to returns received from approximately half of the state's 3020 precincts. Johnson apparently has defeated the republican candidate, Governor J. A. 0. Prcus, who had announced his inten tion to support the Harding adminis tration, by more than 40,000 votes. The democratic candidate, JAmes A. Carley, was ronuing far behind both Johnson and Prcus. Johnson had a lead of 20,588 votes when tabulations of returns had been completed from 1729 of the state's 3520 precincts, the count then standing: Johnson, 1 09,521; Preus, 142,933; Car ley, 13,020. This vote was believed to represent about three-fifths of the total cast. The farmer labor candidate carried many counties which were counted as safely republican. He ran much better in Minneapolis (Preus' home city) than had been expected. Republican headquarters continued to "stand by the ship" and refused to concede that the unreported precincts would maintain the ratio of the first 1100. Farmer laborite leaders insisted it was "a walkaway." Roth Governor Preus, republican can didate and supporter of the Parting ad ministration, and Magnus Johnson, farmcr-laboritc and I.a Follctte adher ent, voted early in their respective home precinct, as did also James A. Carley, democratic nominee. Ideal weather helped attract many voters to the polls. While spokesmen for Gov ernor Creus said tliev would withhold any statement until a reasonable per centage of the 3520 precincts in the state had reported, leaders of the fanner labor party renewed their claim of vietorv for Johnson "bv a round 40,000 majority." That the volume of the vote yester day would exceed the primary ballot ing was indicated in reports from nearly every one of the 87 counties, which de- lared that the vote would run from 50 to 90 per cent of normal. There are 800,000 eligible voters in the state. In almost every case the county re ports showed a vote in excess of that in the primary and in some instances it was double. This led to the prediction that the total vote would exceed 500,- 000. In the general election last fall, when Preus and Johnson were oppon ents in the gubernatorial race, the vote totaled 715,000. STEEL INDUSTRY TO SHORTEN DAY Judge Gary Says 12-Hour Shifts Will End. 2 SCHOOL PAljS A i v mmwrn h i rial umm REFORM IS SWEEPING Elimination of Present Rule Begins in Six Weeks, but Process Will He Gradual. WASCO WHEAT FIRE SWEEPS 425 ACRES Was.o. Or. Four hundred twenty five acres of Turkev Red wheat were lestroyed by fire Monday afternoon, eight miles northwest of Wasco, south of the Fulton Canyon county road, near the Deschutes river. The acreage burned included 125 acres owned bv Kmil Anderson; 150 arres owned by Howard Spencer ami 150 acres belong ing to Kd Olson, all three prominent farmers of the northern section of the omity. The fire was said to have started nesr the railroad track on the Deschutes river, northwest of Wasco, and swept up over the brakes, burning probably 200 acres of Juinch grass before strik ing the wheat field. High winds were sweepiiiL' tin' count v. idacincr thousands f acres of wheat in jeopardy. The fire was discovered in Olsen 's wheat field at 5 o'clock. Telephones rang over a section 15 miles around about and automobiles sped on every road nrrving fire fighters. Fanners at work hnresting in the field, left their teams or machines with one or two men, taking the remainder of their rews and racing to the fire. Husiness houses in Wasco and Moro were closed and men sped to the fire. Two hundred men were on the fire fighting line within 40 minutes. All kinds of implements -hoes, shovels, sacks, and everything that could be onverted to fight the fire was used. New York. Elbert H. Gary Satur day made it plain that the United States Steel corporation, of which he is head, planned within six weeks to begin eliminating the 12-hour day in its plants. It was reported in Wall street that the remainder of the industry would follow suit and that the pledge made to President Hardiug concerning the much-attacked shift gradually would be redeemed. It was under the date oi June 27 that directors of the American Iron & Steel institute wrote the president that they were "determined to exert every effort at our command to ob tain In the iron and steel industry of this country a total abolition of the 12-hour day at the earliest time practicable." Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, and other labor leaders hit on the phrase "at the earliest time practicable" and expressed their skepticism. A little later Mr. Gary, in an in terview, said that increasing labor supplies from the negroes of the south. Mexico, the Philippines and abroad led him to believe that the initial steps would be taken soon, but still no time limit was mention ed. Today, however, Mr. Gary said that "we shall probably commence active ly taking steps to reduce the num ber of 12-hour workers within the next six weeks." Declining to state the number of workers who would be affected with in that period. Mr. Gary made it plain that a sudden and complete change is not to be expected. "Plans are now being developed," he said. "It will require considerable length of time to complete the change. Lady Bugs Aid Orchards, Med ford, Or. C. C.

Uncommon Sense JOHN BLAKE HEED THE PILOT VOU wl" seldom be In a crowd of men an hour before you bear one of them say: "If I were twenty-one years old and knew as much as I do now, I'd be a whale of a success." Perhaps he would. Perhaps he wouldn't. But It is certain that If he could begin life at twenty-one with tie experience of forty be would be far better off. And the curious thing aboitf It all Is that he could avail himself of thfs experience If he would pay heed to the pilots who are always wiling to direct him. What would you think of a man, who, after asking a policeman for the way to the railroad station, and get ting the direction would deliberately go the other way? Tet that is what is done, repeated ly, by almost every young man who starts out In life. From his father, his employer, from older friends, he constantly receives directions which, If followed, would be Invaluable. They come from the experience which these men have dearly paid for. They are Invaluable. Tet youth is unheeding, and the ad vice Is almost instantly forgotten with the result that the recipient has to learn from an experience as expensive and often as disastrous as that of the man who counseled him. If you are a young man you are fortunate. Almost any of your elders will give you sound and sensilile ad vice advice which you can follow to your own profit If you will. Tou can learn by the mistakes of others. Instead of by your own. Tou can plot your own course from a chart which has been made by those who have gone before you. Tou will be wise to do It. Your own experience Is a good teacher, but It Is an expensive teacher. Far bet ter listen, and listen carefully to the pilot who has traveled the same sea you must travel, and knows where the rocks are. Some young men do this, and all s them who do so succeed. Remember that, and you will be saved many griefs, many losses, and perhaps final and utter fullure. And when you are forty, and nowhere, you will not be repining that you can't start the world at twenty-one with your present knowledge. by John Blake n QHCUS tHQMH o Improvement on the 'Cello. A new form of the 'cello, having five strings Instead of the usual four, is Illustrated and described in Popular Mechanics Magazine. The additional one la an E string, made of No 7 piano wire, which is kept under a ten sion of 00 pounds by a small worm gear, and extends the tone range of the Instrument considerably. DEFIANCE i By GRACE E. HALL LET no man say to you that you oh oil foil Fling back his words and prove they are but lies ! Although your spirit falter aye, and quail You shall not lose unless your cour age dies ; So long as you are brave enough to try, The flame of strength within you shall not die. If sometimes you shall feel the fatal urge To let your grip grow loose upon life's reins, Lash every energy with scorn, and merge Your forces In a drive against your pains ; Let no one have the chance to pass and say You are a weakling, wrecked along the way. Let no man smile and say you've lost your hold You're Judged by what you seem In actual view ; Within his heart he too may be less bold A thousand times than he may seem to you ; The one who takes the upper sphere, Is he Who fights each day a stronger man to be. Whatever be the place that now Is his, Be sure he fought to be the man he Is. ( by Dodd. Mead & Co.) O The world gom up and tha world goes down. And the sunshine follows the rain; But yesterday's sneer and yesterday's frown Can never come over again.
