When organized farmers insisted
that their organizations be exempt
of the antitrust laws, the powers that
be and ARE hiding behind the anti
trust law to shield their own nefarl-
Gus work, replied that the farmers
were asking for class Legislation and
did not want to have applied to their
organization which they insisted
should be applied to their organlza-
ton which they insisted should be
applied to other combinations.
Mr.. George p. Hampton, managing
director of the Farmers National
Council, at Washington, sent a letter
on this subject to New Jersey Sen
ator, father of the bill, in which he
(speaking for organized farmers)
said:

WHEELBARROWS NOW
SPORT RUBBER TIRES

The manufacture OF rubber tires
for vehicles had advanced in 1850 to
the point where such tires were beinr
made for wheelbarrows Is the inter
esting discovery made by research
worker in the library in the United
States Rubber Company.
Charles Goodyear, inventor OF the
vulcanization process, whose patents
were controlled by companies now
subsidiaries of the rubber company,
published about 1850 a book giving a
list of all the uses to which rubber
had been applied up to that time. The
book runs along for nearly 400 pages
discussing innumerable ways in which
rubber had already become useful

FITZ FOR THE PEOPLE

Do you remember Mister Man. our mayor

people from their greed and putting them

why you should vote for Hugh CALDWELL
A mayor you seldom see that stands for
those who get a living by their hands, but
worship at the feet Of those that have fine
homes and lots of clothes. But Fit vas

like turban Turk, so if for him you east

have the upper hand which does not pear

The bankers and the money kings want Sc.

as Hayman would had MOrdecae hit on
wood, and then the working man can't
share, the profits of the street car fare. But
Fitz says no to even them and strikes
blow to break the rim, which keeps the
poor man in groove which Whirls and
whrls yet never move. Our mayor is strong
for all men up, and gives to all friendly
sup, and he's the man we want again to
make us feel we re all akin. OF course our
