paign story yet hobs up In Washing.
ton. This one IL on Ralph Cole. Ohio
member OF congress, who did his best
to make his district go Republican, but
who cannot point to any particular
bowling success in that regard. At
one town In his district he was to di.
vide his time with loca. spellbinder.
The local man spoke hrst, and was to
have kept going for half an hour, but
he made II an hour and a half. When
he got through he made an apology for
encroaching on Coles time.
1T reminds me-" Cole said. as he
faced his audience. "of what I once
heard In courtroom. The defendant
had been found guilty OF a criminal
charge. The Judge sentenced him to
ID years. Have you anything 10 say?
demanded the court OF the prisoner.
Nothing but this was the reply. I
think you're mighty damned liberal
with another mans time"
Then Cole turned loose and coaxed
back the departing audience by tho
flow OF his wonderful orator..

new rest room, was F.. S. Woodiwiss,
one OF the rustling agriculturists from

was the best he had ever seen.
"A farmer appreciates a thing OF
this kind" Mr.. Weodiwiss said.
Zone of the things that l appreciate
about the room is the place where
we can wash and then there are the

pleasant surroundings with all. OF
course the farmers are going to like
the rest room and will make good use
Of It," ~.+ .-. ..........
