St. Paul, Minn. 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.

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

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.

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.

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.
