(Inter national Soundphoto) TRUMAN ELECTED IN BIG UPSET (continued from page 1) many heartening touches. One was the victory it brought to the veteran Sen. Alben W. Barkley. of Kentucky --now vice president--elect of the United States.

Barkley accepted the nomination at Philadelphia last summer with little thought the ticket would win. Many other Democratic leaders sneered at his nomination as a lost cause. Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas thoughtfully ttirnri! It down. He would wait for 1952.

his friends said. Others said, to take the beating of the campaign that could "end only in defeat." Went To Work Barkley accepted and he went to work. He really campaigned up and down the by air, by train, by motor car. He hit all the tank towns, the whistle stops and he filled great auditoriums in the metropolitan cities, i He probably helped Truman more to win than any other man that could have been chosen. For Barkley is beloved by all who know him.

An organized labor set him up as their special political hero. Now the Kentucky senator will be vice-president of the United States. Strangest Now that it is ended, it can be reported. Alone In Calling Turn The strangest thing of all in this election was how the underestimated man from Missouri alone in confidently calling the turn--the "little fellow" who is actually taller than The American voters knew something that all the major newsmen in America, all the recognized radio commentators, all the principal pollsters, the Gallups and the-Ropers and the Crossleys, plus all the brains of the Republican party didn't know. Among others, this writer freely admits he didn't know it It was apparently Truman's down to earth popularity with the ordinary citizen.

He was one of them. He was regarded as the political "underdog" and that too evidently won him votes from a public "that has more than once evidenced its traditional sentiments for any "underdog." 80th Congress? Dewey didn't know what was coming either. There's quite a crowd growing around the bier of his defeat! The great brains of the Republican party told him he didn't have to campaign, charged him only in generalities, forbade him to fight out the campaign on real issues. And Dewey did just that. But Truman caught him at it and laced into him.

And more than Uiat, Truman picked out the eightieth goat Molnss truthfully said that this was the strangest political campaign in all --Here from Davenport is Mrs. Warren Moore, who is visiting her 1 sister, -E. Peterson. -Mr. Peterson, and Peterson's moth- C.

Farmers are often handicapped by a poor building arrangement and a shortage of labor-saving equipment. Some of these problems have been solved on the Gecrge Hora fann In Washington County this past year.

Hora is a cocpcrator with Iowa State College, the Washington County Extension Office, the Iowa Utilities Association and the Iowa Southern Utilities Co. in a rural electrification program that stresses efficient use of labor. Hora Is opening his farm to visitors the afternoon of Nov. 12 in an attempt to help all southeast Iowa folks save steps and cut corners In the chore route. The farm Is 7 miles northeast of Washington on County Road R.

Labor studies-made one evening by agricultural engineering specialists from Iowa State College Indicate that If did his evening chores the same every day he would walk 180 miles and would ride 141 miles per year without'leaving his farm After analyzing Uie chore route, the engineers concluded that Hora is a fairly efficient farmer -considering that his buildings are spread out over a 13-acre area. But Horn wasn't satisfied with being fairly efficient. He wanted to' cut down time and labor spent In doing chores further. Improvements made this past year have done that and future plans call for more efficient farming. A new poultry house on the farm has eliminated feeding and watering chores.

Built-in feed bins with a gravity feed and water piped to automatic waterers did the trick. Rearranging farmstead fences and constructing a cattle guard now saves Hora the job of opening three gates when going from the road to the "north his corn crib. He still can use the large farm yard for pasture. plans call for the construction of a new food processing and handling building close to the hog lot.
