Did you notice how that wonderful

Theodore Roosevelt, made. a speech

States should send an expeditionary
force to fight in the trenches in Eur

ing US that there were no intentions
of sending our men to Europe. We
sincerely trust that if a force is sent
it will be composed of "progressives"
of the type Of Roosevelt and we can
assure them that the only place they
will be missed is in the newspapers,
and the space that was formerly oc-
cupied by their slushy utterances can
then be used for something that is of
real value.

The var is not big enough, so some
editors and preachers are seeking to
extend it to America. How many ed
itors and prechers are in their talk
going contrary to the commandment,
"Thou Shalt not KILL" and thus help
ing to destroy religion? If America
is starving before the war, what will
it be after? Capitalists are deter
mined that America shall have as
many cripples and ruins as Europe
has. That is enterprising for you.
They tell US that they are shipping
foodstuff to Europe so that the people
there will not starve. But it is quite
noticeable that they are paid a good
price for their products. . If an en-
barge on shipping munitions had been
placed at the beginning of the war by
our nation, we would not be facing the
present crisis.

In one of his usual mushy editor

common people thru thick and thin,
which fact the aforementioned editor
can prove to his own satisfaction if
he will quit figuring how he can make
eight cents in preference to four cents
on the sale of a dishpan long enough
to read some of the testimony in the
Complete Report of the Industrial

there is no doubt but that it would be
for their own welfare. Also, they

good.

Light Power

DELCO LIGHT is at it's best when used for
power for such purposes as the farm or small shop
uses. Wherever electricity is available a Delco in
%stallation will fill your power needs to perfection.
COST. The power from a Delco Light machine
will cost less than half as much as is paid for cleo
tricity in the average city of ten thousand. This
saving will soon pay for the plant.
AMOUNT. The Delco battery will furnish more
than ample current for such uses as running a
washing machine, cream separator, churn, pumping
water for your house use and many other small poW-
er purposes. The battery will operate a pump pump
ing $50 gallons per hour against a 60 pound pres
sure in your pressure system. These systems are
absolutely automatic, keeping up the pressure at all
times with no other attention than the oiling of the
pump. You can clean grain, run the grindstone and
many other little chore jobs with no more attention
to your plant than when using the lights.
For these purposes we sell a portable motor that
can be carried from place to place with ease and
which will give ample power for the uses suggested
and many others.
ALSO. When running the engine you can DO
any OF the work you are now doing with a small
gasoline engine anywhere in the farm buildings and
by so doing you can avoid the necessity of warming
up a cold engine every time you want to pump wat
er for the stock in winter and also you will have an
outfit that your wife or children can start and keep
going at any time when Necessity arises.
Delco Light has more than ample capacity Tor
the average farm.
