Judge Gull has spent the past two
weeks in the northern section of the
state. Reports come to lis from
friends in the second congressional
district that his appearance and work
in most OF the northern counties has
resulted in the creation of a strong
and still increasing sentiment in favor
Of his candidacy for governor. He has
made marked inroads in both Byrne's
and Egan's support. 1t is an easy
matter for Judge Gull to enlist strong,
sincere and sympathetic support, once
he meets the people, and especially
the solid and substantial class who
have some pride in public affairs and
who are thinking while another class

The value of a commodity is deter
mined primarily by its labor cost. An
eight-foot binder, labor and material
used in construction, costs $3.50. The
farmer pays more than $50 for it.
The labor cost Of a wagon is $719
and three dollars for material-a large
estimate-and we have a wagon for
approximately ten dollars. Would
you not have an extra wagon at that
price to save lifting that heavy hay
