Two Plants In One
At the Cost of One

Lalley-Light, in effect, is two cleo
trio light plants for the price of one.
For it provokes two sources of light
and power, both reliable and eff
cient.
One of these is the storage battery.
The other is the electric generator.
Current used direct from the gen.
erator-giving bright, steady light,
without a flicker-does not pass
through the battery. That is an
economy, for the life of the battery
is prolonged.
When only few lights are required,
it is more economical to draw cur
rent from the battery, with the gen.
orator idle.
Few, if any, other plants afford this
optional use of generator and bat

Lalley-Light brings to your farm
electricity in its simplest, safest,
surest form. It's reliability is estab-
lished by nearly eight years of sue
cessful, everyday farm use.
It is so simple that even your boy or
girl can run it and give it all the care
it needs.
The engine, direct-conected to the

pressed. IF run to replenish the bat

What did the people of Oklahoma do
about it?
What the people of Oklahoma did
throws a great deal of light upon ma
tional political history during the last
10 years. The people of Oklahoma
voted for the constitution, initiative
and referendum, public ownership,
anti-monopoly, anti.injunction and all.
They rolled up majority of
more than 100000 for the con-

TAFT KEPT TO THE ROAD THAT

But what about Roosevelt and Taft
and national politics? Well, Roose-
velt's plan of making Taft president
of the United States went through in
1908 with whoop. Taft, a big, fat,
good natured man, thought Roosevelt
had given him the right dope when
he sent him out to Oklahoma to speak
against the Oklahoma constitution.
So he WENT on in the same way that
