American farmer must be kept in
business on paying basis. The
prosperity Of American industry
and business depends vitality up
on the ability Of the farmer to
produce his products at profit.
AT no time In history has this
convention been as strong as now
Government officials. who direct
fiscal policies and exercise control
over the banking system agree
that agriculture must have its
share OF bank credit advantages.
To this end the credit bars
have been lowered. as a partial
means Of putting the farmer on
his feet.

34.8 Miles on Gallon
Without Coasting

In these days when the sub
ject of gasoline economy is SO
much discussed, the fact that
stock Franklin touring car made
34.S miles on a measured gallon
of gasoline over the Los Angeles
speedway on May 1S-aud with
out coasting at any time-is
worthy of more than passing
notice. The test was made with
the top down, the Windshield up
and closed, and the motor In
constant operation at a set speed
from start to finish. The car
carried an official observer be-
sides the driver.
To show that the car was not
doctored up. but was running on
a lean mixture, the driver. George
Sherwood. service manager OF the
Pasadena branch Of Ralph Ham
lin. the Franklin dealer in Los
Angeles. put the car around the
track at 4s miles per hour upon
concluding the one-gallon test.
During the gas test an average
speed of better than twenty miles
per hour was maintained.

Powder

Coming

The war pictures which are to
be shown in this city June 1890
at the Grand theatre by the Vet
Grams Of Foreign Wars promise to
give theatre-goers a thrill that
even Griffith master productions
have been unable to register.
The name Of this great picture Is
Powder River"-for many years
that has been the battle cry of the
cowpunchers of Motnana and Wy
oming and when the stoiid Prus-
slams and their allied hosts heard
that war-whoop coming from the
dusty throats of the dare devils
from the great west in the big
drive" they were not only amazed
but the grim determination and
death-defying spirit that these
divisions possessed, caused them to
take ito the tall timber.
The 91st. 42nd, 32nd and End
divisions are all represented in the
remarkable picture-these film
record are conclusive proof of the
metal of western soldiers and
shows them from the time they
sailed from American ports until
they suspended their magnificent
fighting in France.
