Comparing the platforms of the republican and de mocratic parties, as drawn in their national conventions, George N. Peek, chairman of the executive committee of twenty-two, today issued a state ment upon his return from Houston. He charged the republican party with , giving the farmers of the middle west ! "a renewal of broken pledges" while, the democratic platform adopted ? j plank fcr agriculture "which is thei most favorable," his statement says. 1 The executive committee of twenty- two was formed in a conference of : agricultural representatives of the north central states in Des Moines, in January, 1926. Gov. John Hammill . of Iowa, took the initiative, inviting the governors of the eleven north central states, and since that time North Dakota and Montana joined; the conference. The committee was originally composed of two delegates? from each state. Their purpose is to snnnort farmers and farm organiza tions in an effort to stablize their in-! dustry. j "At Kansas City the farmers were, definitely advised that the protective1 system is not intended for them," Mr. J Peek says. "The party which farmers j of the middle west had made andj supported, turned its back upon them : complacently giving them a renewal of broken pledges which were less de- ! finite than those of four years ago. t Foreseen Era of Peasantry j "Adding insult to injury, the party j nominated as its standard bearer the arch-enemy of a square deal for Am erican agriculture, whose solution of the farm problem is to keep on starv ing out farmers until production is reduced to the demands of the dom estic markets. "In Houston the farmers were given the greatest consideration in every way. Their reception was most cordial, their views on a plat form were solicited and a real plank was adopted which is the most fa vorable for agriculture ever wrltter in the platform of any political party in our history. - "Farmers in the grain, livestock! and cotton states will recognize in the democratic plank for agriculture a new declaration of independence. "Regardless of the former party j affiliations." the statement con- eludes" farmers must fight for such platform if they wish to Fave their farms and their homes, agriculture has come to a parting of the ways. November will decide whether the American farming of the future is to be conducted by farmers or peasants." State Journal.

W. Shrader and children. Pittsfield. Mass., July 1. With a scratch of a pen, the postoffice de partment has wiped another town off the list of eastern United States com munities, leaving only three families to bemoan the passing of Peru. Peru was a famous little town perched amid the Berkshire Hills as far back at Revoluntary days. Even then its agricultural fame was wide spread. Then came the decline. Families moved away, until in 1890, only twelve families lived in Peru. Even these twelve dwindled. This past year only three families have lived in the town and the postoffice receipts dwindled to a few dollars. Uncle Sam looked at the figures and decided that there was no fur then need of a postoffice in Peru. He abolished the postoffice and with it went the township. Mail is now delivered on the R. F. D. route. With passing of the town, also passes a colorful figure. "Mayor" Frank Creamer. Creamer was onr of the political figures of the small New England town. The "mayor" was first appointed by President Har rison in 1890. The Creamers, the Sperrys and the Pikes are now all that remains to pay tribute to the town of Peru Only a multitude of abandoned farms surround the site of the old Revolun tary township among the Berkshires.

' Protect your investment in your Model THE Ford Motor Company is making a new car, but it is still proud of the Model T. It wants every owner of one of these cars to run it as long as possible at a minimum of expense. Because of this policy and because of the investment that millions of motorists have in Model T cars, the Ford Molor Company is devoting a large part of its factories to making parts, in order that owners may enjoy uninterrupted service for many yeara to come. More than eight million Model T Fords are iill in active service, and many of them can be driven for two, three and five years and even longer at small cost. New fenders, for instance, cost from 83.50 to $5 each, with a labor charge of SI to 82.50. Tuning up the motor and replacing commutator case, brush and vibrator points costs only $1, with a small charge for material. Brake shoes can be installed and emergency brakes equalized for a labor charge of only $1.25. A labor charge of $-1 to S5 will cover the overhauling of the front axle, rebushing springs and spring perches, and straightening, aligning and adjusting wheel-. 'The labor charge for overhauling the average rear axle runs from $5.75 to $7. Grinding valves and cleaning cat ben can be done for S3 to S I. y A set of. four new pistons costs only $7 and an installation charge of S6. For a labor charge of S20 to S25 you can have your motor and trans mission completely overhauled. Parts are extra. All of these prices are approximate, of course, .because the cost of materials needed will depend on the condition of each car. They show, however, the low cost of putting the Model T Ford in shape for thou sands of miles of additional service. See the nearest Ford dealer, therefore, and have him estimate on the cost of reconditioning your Model T Ford. He will tell you, in advance, exactly how much the complete job will cost.
