OF INTEREST TO RURAL READERS FARM BUREAU NEWS SEItVICE SUPPLIES ITEMS FOR THE TIUBUNE READERS Speaking boforo tho farmers of Lancaster county at tho county farm bureau picnic at tho state agricul tural college Wednesday afternoon, Charles E. Gunnels, treasurer of tho American Farm Bureau Federation told brlofly and pointedly tho nccess? lty of actlvo farm organization with a spirit behind it to go out and do things. .As an illustration of tho present condition of tho farming industry Gunnels used tho report of tho recent survey taken by tho national City bank of New York, showing that a given commodity produced on tho farm in 1019 and sold for f 100, thls year 1b bringing only $42 and in 1020 ?52. But tho fairest way, Mr. Gun nels said, Is to tako tho avoragjo price for tho past ten years. Tho survoy 'shows that prices at tho present timo aro 27 por cent below tho ton-yoar avorago, or a 27 per cent subnormal, price for practically all of tho largor farm products. Thon from that, ho said, wo must subtract tho frolght charges which havo increased 100 por cont over pro-war rates. 1 Tho condition is further aggravat ed ho said by tho stringency of crodlt.roau 11 ,a constructive in its poll- .extended farmers; that out of sovon to clcht billion In rediscounts turned .through, tho federal reserve systom j and that ho is not asking for any during March, only 1 1-10 por cont special privileges. Ho is simply ask was agricultural paper, according to lnS 'or JuBtlco, ho said, end for an a report of tho federal resorvo offl-' opportunlty-to tako his proper place 'clals; this In splto of tho fact that , T! agricultural Interests roprosont moro than a third of tho wealth of tho na tion, It shows, ho added, how poorly calculated our federal reserve sys tem Is In tho matter of productlvOj nocds, ' - The avorago length of tlmo on pa per handled through tho fodoral ro-' servo system In March, ho Bald, was. loss than fifteen daysj "while tup farmer,, ;lf ho is a stock grower, needs at least two years, or It a grain grower, from ono harvest to another. . Mr. Gunnels also reminded his hearers that wo havo a national dob't of approximately $25,000,000, 000 which wo must tako up or on which wo muBt pay Interest. "Var ious schemes aro boing proposd to do that," ho sold, " and It Is proposed that a sales tax bo levied In llou of tho excess profits tax. That in real ity is a consumption tax and falls heaviest upon tho peoplo of tho mld ,dlo class on farmers and laboring mon, bccstuBO a much largor porcont , necessities of life than tho Income of of tho lncomo of tho peoplo of the An indirect cost you should figure ffiolarinej MOTOR OILS HlUilO tllMWHT KIM1U mlddlo class is spent to purchase the tho wealthy." Ono of tho accepted principles of taxation, ho Bald, particularly in thlB country, is taxation proportion to tho ability to pay. If tho Bales tax ls levied, Gunnels said, it will add to tho already overwhelming burden or tho farmers and other Doorer classes of pooplo. Tho farmers, ho said, aro heavy purchasers of staplo maufactiii'ol products, for instance thoy purchaso throe-sevenths of all tho steel products manufactured In this country, which applies in about tho samo proportion on a good many other larger products. "Now wo havo destroyed tho farm- ors ability to buy, because wo havo mado h,a work unprofitable," ho do dared, '.this fact boing rofloctcd In tho farm publications whero adver tising has fallen off moro than half. Mr. Gunnels recalled that wo havo been told by Presidont Harding and members of his cabinet that our na tional IndUBtrics depend upon agri cultural prosperity, and ho said that that boing tho fact It is necessary that wo sot about to remedy tho ovlls that besot agriculture. Tho farmer, Gunnels declared, knows bottor than anybody olso what ho needs, but tho only way tho farmer can express himsolf Is through organization. Tho reason that tho farmer has fallen Into his present unfavorablo situation Is largely bo causo ho has had no adequato means of expressing himsolf. Tho largost farm organization that has over beon developed declared Mr. Gunnels, is tho American Farm Bu- clos, and koops In mind first that tuo farmer is an American citizen NOW King Fong Cafe SOI DEWEY Choice American and Oriental Food Served' . . in a Tasteful Manner at Fair Prices- - ..

SPECIAL LUNCHES FROM Lubricating1 oil is one of the smallest items of cost, when you balance it against fuel or tires. . But its indirect cost may easily be higher " than either. ; ' Engine wear-and-tear, frequent overhauling repairs and the replacement of broken parts, , practically all this expense should be charged against the cost of lubricating oil. So lubricating oil of highest quality and proper body is a big money-saver. It protects engag ing parts against wear, prevents bearings burning out, keeps compression tight and as-, sures maximum power and mileage from every gallon of gasoline. Polarine makes these economies not only possible but certain. Its stability under high engine heat insures a fuel-tight and gas-tight seal in the cylinders, and a film on bearings and moving parts that prevents wear. Polarine is made in four grades light, medi um heavy, heavy and extra heavy but only one quality. Get the proper grade for your car next time you buy clean-burning RedCirowa Gasoline and you will sta:t cutting down motoring costs.
