the chances Of various democratic
presidential aspirants, the white house
today was keenly interested in all con-
vention facts and rumors.

white house officials, although they re-

President Wilson went to bed when
it became apparent the platform

the platform is acceptable to him in
every way.

OUT OF SIGHT, OUT OF MIND"

While all motorists may not be in
the class with the chap who takes an
actual delight in spending all his
spare time tinkering about the ga
rage, most of them have some knowl-
edge of the inner and outer workings
of their cars. They know that spark
plugs must be cleaned, valves must be
ground, that carbon should not be al
lowed to accumulate in cylinders, that
the gear box must be kept filled with
grease, and that even so matter of
fact a thing as tire appreciates an
occasional change of air. But accord.
ing to Mr.. Powers, manager of the To-
cal "EXide" Service Station, the av,
erage motorist knows practically
nothing of his battery except that it is
there to furnish current for starting
and lighting.
"a mighty wise man." said Mr..
Powers, asserted years ago that few
people realized they had a stomach
unless it gave them trouble, and a
similar statement would apply equal
ly well in connection with starting
and lighting batteries" With the
battery it's matter of "out of sight,
out of mind; the battery works on
uncomplainingly until the last ounce
of strength is exhausted; then come
trouble and big repair bill.
All large battery troubles are
small in the beginning, and small bat
terry troubles can be readily avoided
if the battery is looked over regularly
by competent experts. Some motor
lists unfortunately take the attitude
that "the battery is here to start he
car, and start the car it must" with
out realizing that the neglected bat
terry, no matter how we'll constructed
loses efficiency under the tremendous
strain that is put upon it. Others
feel that it would be "too much trou-
BILE" to have the battery inspected at
regular intervals, yet thees same men
would not think of allowing their
watches to rund own before rewinding
them.
when motorists thoroughly appre-
ciate the great saving of time, money
and annoyance which follows the reg
ular inspection of their batteries, we
will see remarkable, countrywide
increase in starting and lighting eff
ficiency. Many of the best informed
motorists in town now come to our
service station at least once month
and have tEySir batteries thoroughly
looked over. We take care of all
makes of batteries in this way. In
times gone by, these same men
brought their batteries to us only
when Something was wrong. but
they have learned that the over and
punch originally built into their bat
teries can best be kept there by ex-
pert inspection at regular intervals

ern Aaron Burr. Today Gov. Cox is
openly espousing as his ideal of pro-
gressiveism the man who led the Pro-
gressive party in 1912 and Senator
Harding stands, as always, opposed
to all those things for which Roosc-
welt lived and fought"
Those who followed Roosevelt will
not be quick to forget the way in
which Senator Harding fought him,
the villification heaped upon his head
by Senator Harding's newspaper and
braggart boast of Harding that the
Progressives would return to the Re-
publican party con their knees" The
true Progressive fights and fights
hard for the ideals which he believes
aer right and he cannot reconcile him
self to a false belief that Senator
Harding and his bosses-Penrose
Smoot and Lodge-represent the prin-
ciples for which Roosevelt fought.
Senator Harding has alienated the
true followers of Roosevelt and try
as hard as he may he will fail in all
efforts to retain their friendship. Pro-
gressiveism and reaction do not mix
so the Progressives of 1912 and 1916
will go to the polls in 1920 and sup

of the amount that eighteen months of
war cost US. 1t would not cost the
lives of our young manhood. Politi-
clans who oppose the League, profess
to see grave dangers in entering 1t,
but let US remember that politicians
are neither the ones who do the fight
ing nor pay for it when war is raging.
This is true in every country and
ours is no exception.
As the League stands today there
is no opportunity for America going
to war with any country without the
consent of Congress but to nullify the
claim that is made by some who either
through ignorance or deliberate per-
version are saying that our army and
navy will be subject to the call of the
president of the League Council, with
out the consent of Congress, Gov,
Cox and Mr.. Roosevelt have both de-
clared that they will stand for the
adoption fthe covenant with a spe-
cific reservation declaring that the
army and navy will not be sent into
action without the consent of Con-
gress. This statement by them cuts
the ground from under those who have
used this argument as "bug-a-goo."

The greatest personal victory yet

scored by young Filipino by the name
Of Jose Z. Melencio. He has charge Of
the Philippine Publicity Bureau at
Washington.
He is only twenty-six years old and
received his education in the public
schools of the Philippines--under
American teachers, as he proudly
Doasted-and at Georgetown, D. g.
He is remarkably promising young
man.
Speaking with grace, using the best
language and without a trace Of en-
barrassment, he presented the claim
of the Filipinos to independence. The
audience was astOnished at the
strength of his argument, the skill
with which he marshaled his facts and
the high tone Of his speech. He capti-
waited everyone and committeeman and
visitors paid him the compliment of
rising and cheering when he concluded
his plea.

JUDICOUS PRUNING BENZ
FITS FRUIT TREES.

C. E. Hitz, Holt County, is con-
WINGED that pruning fruit trees is
worth while. He has learned also that
there is more than one way to prune.
H. A. Cardinell of the University of
Missouri College of Agriculture
pruned tree for Mr.. Hitz last winter.
Other trees of the same variety he did
not prune. The good results are
showing up this fall. The limbs of
the pruned tree are not bent over by
the weight of the fruit anything like
those of the unpruned tree because
fruit of the pruned tree is more even
ly distributed throughout the tree.
The fruit on the unpruned tree is
largely on the outer branches, and
the excessive weight caused several
limbs to be broken.
Heretofore Mr.. Hitz has used saw
only in pruning and was inclined to
cut out the more heavy wood and not
clip back the new growth. AS a re-
suit of this demonstration he now has
the kind of clippers recommended by
Mr.. Cardinell, and will use them on
his whole orchard this winter.
