De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation, sanitary cleanli-
ness, ease of running and durability
but as well in their great simplicity.
There is nothing about the opera
ton. cleaning, adjustment or repair of
a modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
Nor are there any parts of which
adjustment is frequently necessary to
maintain good running or to conform
to varying conditions in the everyday
use of a cream separator.
There is no need TO fit and adjust
parts 10 get them together right. They
are so made that they cannot help go
together right. All bearings and bush
ings are easy to replace. There are
no complicated springs, eys, ball bear
lngs or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust.
A person who has never touched a
separator before can, if need be, un-
assemble a modern De Laval machine
down 10 the last part within a few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly This is something which
cannot be done outside shop with
any other separator
The only way TO properly understand
and appreciate De Laval superiority to
other separators is to look over, and
better still 10 try, 1912 De Laval

Roosevelt win Accept.

Columbus. Feb. THAT Roosevelt
will yield to the genuine popular de-
mand for his leadership and accept
the Republican presidential nomina-
ton, was the fat assertion made by
Republican State Chairman Walter
F. Brown at the state Roosevelt head
quarters today. His statement in
part follows:
The active organization in Ohio.
ncSnds pledged to effect Roosevelt's
lination and election as president
h.A912. is actuated by no motives of
hostility to the president. whom the
members of that organization, gen.
orally speaking. respect and esteem
personally.
The Roosevelt movement in Ohio
and. indeed, throughout the country.
rests upon three propositions. First,
that the people have decided to elect
some other than Mr.. Taft to the press
idency.
alton will not compel the people in
order to make change in the presi-
dency to make a change In the party
In control Of the national govern
ment.
Third, that the man most avail
able as Republican standard bearer.
by reason Of the abiding confidence
Of the masses in his wisdom and pa
triotism. is Theodore Roosevelt.
1T can be accepted beyond any
question whatever that Colonel
Roosevelt, though in no sense SEEK
ing the Republican nomination, will
yield to the genuine popular demand
for his leadership which is being
voiced throughout the country; that
he will accept the nomination which
comes as the result of such a gen.
uine popular demand and that he
will make characteristic and win
ming fight at the election in Novem-
ber."
