"I stand for a protective tariff.
The democratic loader in the senate,
Mr. rnderwood of Alabama,
quoted as sayinp that the tariff bill
as drawn compels the people of the
east to pay tribute to the farmers of
the middle west. It is true that the
bill as drawn will protect our farm
products, and I am happy to admit
that fact. Senator Underwood over

you that there it not even a remote
possibility of such cancellation.
I have twice voted for the soldiers'

Armament Reduction.

"Much of the heavy freight could
be handled at great saving through

suggested improvement will, if ap
proved, save 10 cents a bushel on the
farmer's grain. When one considers
the millions of bushels shipped from
this bread basket of the world he can
appreciate what this waterway will
mean to us. Our railroads can then
effectively and speedily transport the
gram from the fields to Chicago or
Puluth, where it will be loaded on
ocean-going liners for delivery either
along the Atlantic seaboard or for
eign markets.
"Without such transportation, our
middle-west cannot hope for perma
nent prosperity but we have other
needs scarcely iess important to our
development and progress. There is
pending in congress a bill which
would reclaim millions of acres of
Nebraska land. It was my privilege
to see at first hand the marvelous
development of that once arid re
gion. the northwest section of our
state. Irrigation and reclamation
must go on, and at such a rate as 1

"With a bountiful crop in prospect,
we must bend everv effort to insure
to the farmer more stable and corar

products ot the soil.
"Experience has demonstrated that
the Federal Farm Loan bank at
Omaha can operate successfully mak
ing loans to farms at 5 per cent. I
favor an immediate reduction of its
interest rates to that point. I also
advocate increasing the limit of in
dividual loans by the bank to $25,000,
in order that our farmers- may more
fully enjoy the benefits of this system."

pel of 'light wines, beer, jazz,

the political itump.
For out of the west has come a
flapper to lead the Jayhawkcr to
"liberty." At least such is the claim
of Helen l'ettigrew, bobbed, blond
and 23, republican candidate for the
party nomination of governor. Miss
Petligrew, who lives in Kajisas City,
Kan., hat filed for the nomination
with the secretary of state at Tn.

Miss Petligrew outlined her plat

"Give the people what they want!"
such, she says, is her one avid only
campaign slogan.
Favors Lisht Wines.
She favors restoration of beer and
light wine. She vows death to all
blue laws and Kansas has more
than its share. She champions jazz,
the shimmy and the abbreviated
skirt. She cries out against more
war.
Mij Pettigrew is but one of 14
republican candidates for the nomi
nation. The great number to appear on
the ticket at the primary August 8
gives her new hope of being victorious.
"My platform is simple," the flap-
per candidate says in explaining the
things she advocates.

'Kansas is a wonderful state, but

though the blue-lawers would like to

OAKLAND wins the Sweepstakes Cup grand
prize for cars of all classes regardless of cost,
size or weight in the Sixth Annual Los Angeles
Camp Curry, Yosemite Valley Economy and
Endurance Run. Oakland also wins the first prize
for cars of its own class.
Fifteen other makes of cars yielded to Oakland's
phenominal record of 49.2 Ton Miles per gallon,
according to official A. A. A. records! The actual
mileage per gallon for the Oakland car was 2937.
No oil was used and only two pints of water and
the length of the run was 360 miles!
Think of it! Nearly thirty miles to the gallon
through city traffic and over rain-soaked country
roads; up steep mountain trails and through sand,
hub-deep!
And remember the New Oakland Car that
accomplished this remarkable feat was a' stock,
five-passenger touring car. You can buy an exact
duplicate you can buy this same economy and
dependability in any New Oakland model!
Truly, Oakland is the economy car. It is the only
car, backed by 15,000 mile performance guarantee.
It is the light-six sponsored by the resources and
the prestige of the General Motors Corporation.
Can you afford to overlook The New Oakland Six
once you decide to spend around a thousand dollars
for a motor car?

When Lincoln Was A

EVERY scrap of printed paper that came to his
hands was a treasure trove. He read it eagerly
conning every line-getting every worth-while word.
What a harvest he could have garnered from a mod
ern newspaper! And not the least interesting to him
would have been the advertisements, with their stories
and their pictures of products, appliances and services
that have smoothed the course of life to a degree un
known and unbelievable in the rough pioneer days.
Nowadays new comforts and conveniences slip
into our lives almost without our realizing it. We are
liable to be rather matter-of-fact about it all. And ad
vertising that has made it simpler to make and dis
tribute profitably innumerable products at reasonable
prices, has played a leading part in making our life so
eminently easy to live.
Read over the advertisements and try to think what
the things you see there would have meant to our fore
fathers. Then you'll realize what a service and what a
convenience advertising is to you.
Read it Make use of it!
