fact will be known, for Senators
Tobin, Cross, Joyce and the seven

ingly against Adams will force the
fight today.
Adams, it is known, pins his
hopes to the republican senators.
For every republican vote he re-

Tobin. Adams must be elected by

prospective purchaser should study

Whatever you do, Mr.. Farm
don't tie up all your capital
in paying for the place and have no
reserve for running expenses. At
best it will be several years before
the farm is returning much of
revenue to you, so apportion off a
generous amount of your available
funds for working capital and for
rainy day emergencies. Then you
will be in tip top shape to begin
operations, and you will not have
TO worry over where tomorrow's
