VIM. PADBERG GETS
HIGH PERCENT EFFICIENCY
Clarks Canyon Farmer Installs Bar
tell Automatic Feeder-Boxes I'm
load in Half Minute and Grain Is
Through Separator In Sixty Sec
onds.

VIM. H. Padberg, Clarks canyon
farmer, is getting about as near one
hundred per cent efficiency from his
threshing operations this year as is
possible and its all largely because
Mr.. Tadberg went up to Dayton, Wn.
just before harvest started and
bought Bartell automatic feeder.
With the Bartell it is possible to
unload a header box in half minute
and this machine was doing that very
thing as regular as clock-work last
Friday afternoon, when the writer
made visit out to the Padberg
ranch.
When man has got 7400 aces
Of grain to harvest, it behooves him
to have a system with a mighty big
capacity. Therefore Mr.. Padberg has
equipped his layout with 40 inch
Case separator and Holt rs cater
pillar engine. The Bartell feeder Is
operated by power from the engine
and is tied to the separator with a
connecting rod, AS the loaded box
drives along side the feeder, hook
is fastened on the lower side of the
box into a ring in the net on which
the load rests, and simple pull
of lever raises and rolls the entire
load over into the feeder. From
there The grain is automatically fed
into the separator.
Mr.. Padberg was operating three
headers and eight boxes in the barley
last week but as soon as the crew
pulls onto the wheat he expects to
add another header and two more
boxes.
The visit to the Padberg ranch
was made by the writer through the
courtesy of County Agent Hunt, who
took some pictures Of the threshing
outfit in action.

HARDING AND COOLIDGE
ENDORSED BY AOTS0N
District Attorney, Returning From
Meeting OF State Central Commit
tee at PorJaao Sees Success Of
Ticket in November Election.

"The nomination Of Senator War
rem G. Harding of Ohio to carry the
banner Of the republican party in the
forthcoming elections was one that
will unity the interests OF the party
and insure the success OF the ticket,
said s. E. Notson, district attorney
and state central committeeman who
recently returned Srom Portland,
where he attended a meeting of the
committee.
Harding is a strong, clean, forth
right American. He is American
clear through. There is perhaps no
man in public life today who so
thoroughly typifes the spirit of true
Americanism. Born Of the soil, a
toiler from boyhood, he knows the
great mass of the people, the farm
ers, the toilers, as well as the big
men Of the country. He knows their
needs and their requirements.
"At heart he is in sympathy with
the masses. In all his long and use
full public life he has never compro-
missed with his duty to the people.
His every vote and his every act have
been for the people.
Intensely Just and fair-minded, he
has weighed judicially the rights of
each and has never let prejudice in
fuence his decisions.
HE has fought consistently for
what he has believed to be the rights
of the people. An analysis Of his
vote shows this judicial side Of his
nature. 1t shows his keen love for
the peope.
when Mr.. Harding is elected to
the presidency, he will be every
body's president. The farmer and
the laborer, the banker and the man
ufacturer, the clerk and the capital
ist, the poor man and the rich man.
all will find in Harding the cham
pion of their just causes.
Harding has been consistent
supporter of woman suffrage. His
votes and his influence have been
used alike in the cause that has be-
come so important to our women
citizens.
Senator Harding is a practical
man. He believes in the strength of
organized minds and brains acting
in unison. He has been trenchant
critic of autocratic government. la
all his public acts he has been gov
erned by the wisest counsel he could
get. Like Lincoln, Mckinley and 9TH
er great Republican party chieftains,
he believes in surrounding the exc
cutive with the strongest men avail
able.
Now that pre-convention person
alities are beginning to fade, all the
Republican men of influence feel
that the selection of Harding was the
best the party could make. All Of
us feel that we can go out and fight
for Harding's election with clean
faith in his unalterable Americanism
and his sterling honesty, his unques-
toned ability and his strong party
Harding and Coolidge, for Home
and Country, is slogan all good Re-
publicans can fight under with com
plete faith in the ultimate success
of their efforts.
"No candidate has made such clear
cut. pronounced stands on the great
issues of this campaign. Warren G.
Harding is the man that can bring
order and happiness out of the chaos
which the inefficiency and autocratic
rule of the Democrats has thrust on
the country"

"JIM" WATSON, BIG BUSINESS
CHORE BOY

Big business interests, led by the
"Big Five" packers, are to make an
attempt to pledge the Republican
party to the abolition of the federal
trade commission.
Failing the outright abolition of
the commission, which is now the
peoples best weapon against profit
teers and monopolists, the effort
will be to so limit its activities and
powers as to make it innocuous.
The fight against the commission
as a party issue, is expected to be
made at Chicago by Senator James
e. Watson of Indiana, who is stated
as the reactionaries candidate for
chairman of the rules committee,
and would thus be in position to in
fluence the shaping of an anti-com-
mission plank.
This Watson person is the same
one who, in the period between his
defeat for reelection to the house in
1908 and his election to the senate
in 1916; served for a time in Wash
ington as a lobbyist for the National
Association of Manufacturers. 1t is
within the membership of this as
ISOLATION that most of the OPPOSE
ton to the federal trade commission,
outside of the packer group, is to be
found.
Since the war it has been the Gus
tom of the interests to brand persons
as ttred radicals when they want to
discredit them. When the federal
trade commission exposed the pack
ers, the best alibi they could offer
was a bucket of cred" paint with
which to smear the employees of the
commission who did the investigat-
ing. Senator Watson was TIE pack
ers willing artist who smeared this
"red" paint. In October he said in
the senate he would from time to
time speak to the senate about $50
cialists and radicals in the govern
ment departments" He claimed that
his speech was not to be a defense
of the packers but in his EXPOSE
he named only men and womenswho
had participated IN the investigation
of the packers. He hasn't pointed
out any more since his October
TRADE.
Senator Watson was Republican
whip" in the house from 1902 to
1908; he was named in Martin M.
Mulhall's confession of the activities
of the National Association of Man
ufacturers' as one of the men who re-
ceived financial reward for services
rendered that organization.
Within a month after his defeat
for congress, Watson accepted a jot
as lobbyist for the manufacturers
association.
The employees for the federal com.
mission, whom Watson attacked, are
experts in their respective lines-ac
countants, statisticians and econom'
lists. The federal trade commission
was created for the benefit of the
people, to enforce and remedy unfair
practice. Naturally, its existence j!
hostile to the interests.

THE REAL CAUSE OF UNREST

The cause of unrest in this country
is not so much the agitation by radi-
calls as the kept press would have us
believe. The real cause is the I'M
American activities of the profiteers.
Recently the Whitaker-Glessner Co.,
of Pittsburgh, Pa, declared a divi-
dend of 400 per cent on it's common
stock. The R. j. Reynolds Tobacco
Co., declared a dividend of 200 per
cent on both classes of its common
stock. The Brown Shoe Company,
Chandler Motor Co., and the Paige
Detroit Motor Co., each declared div
idends of 33 1-3 per cent on their
outstanding common stock. The an
ual report of the Texas Pacific Coal
and Oil Company showed a net in
come of $5,40S,611, equal to $9.01
a share on the outstanding capital
stock of $1,000 par value, almost one
hundred per cent profit. According
to the report of the Standard Oil
Company their net earnings in41919
were after deduction of all expenses
incident to operation, including Fed
eral taxes and sundry reserves and
depreciation charges, of $43,165,109,
equivalent to $57.52 a share on $751;
100000 of it's capital stock. In
1918 the Standards net earnings
were S2S,642,3S7, or $3.50 a share
Dividends paid during 1919 totaled
$12,OO0,00O against $4,000, 900 il
1918.
The figures quoted above are sim.
ply examples which show the rea.
reason for the present high costs
If n purchases a gallon of gasoline
one must pay a higher price for the
gallon than the year before simply
to allow the Oil trust to pay larger
dividends. If a user of tobacco pur.
chases a package of tobacco the
charges on that package are higher
this year than last and simply be

REPRESENTATIVE OF THE PEG.
r $50, PIE +.

1t is interesting to note some of
the. acts that have been passed by
the present congress which are for
the benefit Of the interests that ex-
plot the people Of this country.
Passed the Cummins-Esch bill val
dating eight billion dollars of wat
cred railroad securities, including the
Watered stock; guaranteed the roads
an exorbitant rental until September.
1920, to be paid out of the public
treasury; appropriated three humid
red million dollars as a revolving
fund for the road, and is contemplat-
ing increasing this sum to eight
hundred million dollars.
Passed the bill to lease coal and
oil lands belonging to the Federal
Government. This means that the
most valuable part Of the public do.
main will be turned over to the in
erests which will use the natural re-
sources of the nation to increase
their private fortunes.
Passed through the house, and
Will soon put through the senate, a
water power bill which will place,
the power trust in control of tho
most desirable power sites in the
country. The water power should be
~harnessed but it should be developed
only in the interest Of all the peo-
pie and not in the interest OF increas-
ing a few fortunes.
Is now preparing to enact legisla-
ton which will transfer to the ship
ping combine our national merchant
marine, which cost the people OF this
country billions of dollars.
And this is the work of the ma
tional legislating bodies OF this coun-
try which are supposed TO represent
1.-THE people. IL 1t any wonder that the
present condition OF unrest exists IN
this country?
