No More Pumping.

Mr.. w. p. Hudgens has solved the
automobile tire pumping proposition.
Saturday he received brand new
up-to date, electrically propelled, tri-
pie expansion, double action, and twin
screw air compressor or in fewer
words an electric pump. 1t is said
that this pump will pump up an un-
pumped inner tube quicker than a
water pump can pump up a pumpety
pump. Mr.. IIudgenr, when being in
terviewcd OH the subject said that
Knot had gotten so lazy about pump
ing up auto tires that he had to get
something to keep from pumping him
self to death. This little piece of ma
chinery can also be used instead of
an electric fan, by turning on the cur
rent and letting the breeze fly down
your back instead of in an auto tire.
In fact several of the boys" were
caught down there Sunday afternoon
with the rubber tube hung up on a
chairback smoking cigarettes with a
stream Of cold air coming out like
water from the fire hose.

that,
"Whilc we favor the strict regu-

louS forms. as detrimental to the
interests of organized labor; in
fact, 1t hast been the means of dis
ruptlng many Of our organizations
throughout the country. Therefore,
we are opposed to such legislation. "
The wcrkingmen of Oregon in
their Portland convention, unani-
mouSly declared that:
Experience has demonstrated
the futility. and in2ilGclivcnc%s of
prohibition Legislation which mere
~ dlsplaces a regulated and legiti-
mate liquor industry and establish

and members of organized labor
declared that "thc man that found
CT this government intended it
should be free Of all intolerance. -

purpose OF granting the greatest

"The Central Trades and La

hereby calls upon all members of

movement favoring prohibition, on
the ground that it is contrary to
the best interest Of the wage worker
and an intoterant invasion Of the
rights of the individual citizen, a
rctrogradc step in the march of
progress OF the present age and
time. "
Florida says: "Therc are 5000
cigar makers out of work in our
state, due largely to prohibition
agitation IN other states, and
should prohibition be adopted in
Florida, thousands more would
Icsc their jobs. In Alabama, Geor-

have been destroyed by prohibition,
and their members have been fore
