We note in one of our exchanges, where a man who has one tenth acre to potatoes, and has dug and sold some of them. He figures from what he has sold, they are bringing him at the rate of $1100 per acre, and that if he had 10 acres he would have $11,000 worth of potatoes. This reminds us of the man who went to the barn one morning and found the old cow with a new born calf. He stood for a moment looking at the calf, then said: "That is mighty fine calf. Now if I had 16 more just like him, I would have a fine carload of steers in a few years." The Exchange Table is a high praise for Borah. Senator William E. Borah is to be congratulated upon the fight he made in the senate yesterday in opposition to the Rivers and Harbors appropriation bill. This measure, known as the big "pork barrel" bill of the session, carries an appropriation of $28,000,000, a colossal sum for purely local uses at a time when the nation is being loaded with unprecedented war burdens. But, war or no war, the politicians must play their game, appealing to local desires rather than national needs, and for votes at home rather than for conditions in general.
