Chicago, July 2. 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."

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.
' Jess Allen Very Sick
I Mr. Jessie AlleR, a brother of Mrs.
T. E. Fulton, and who has been at
the home of his sister remains in a
very serious condition, having been
very sick for some time. Everything
is being done in the way of the best
nursing and medical attention hoping
that he may improve in his health.
I Departs For the East
! Three of the citizens of Nehawka,
who were born in the east, and who
have made their home in Nehawka

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.
