FORDS RUN 34 MILES
 ON GALLON GASOLINE
Start Easy in Coldest Weather Other Cars Show Propor-
 tionate Saving

A new carburetor which cuts down gasoline consumption of any motor and reduces gasoline bills from one- third to one-half is the proud achievement of the Air Friction Car buretor Co.. 515 Madison St, Dayton. Ohio. This remarkable invention not only increases the power of all mo- tors from 80 to 50 per cent but en- ables every one to run slow on high gear. It also makes it easy to start a Ford or any other car in tho cold est weather. You can use the very cheapest grade of gasoline or half gasoline and half kerosene and still get more power and more mileage than you now get from the highest test gasoline. Many Ford owners say they now get as high as 45 to 50 miles to a gallon of gasoline. So sure are the manufacturers of the immense saving their new carburetor will make that they offer to send It on 30 days trial to every car owner. As 1t can be put on or taken off In a few minutes by anyone, all readers of this paper who want to try It should send their name, address and make of car to the manufacturer Tt once. They also want local agents, to whom they offer exceptionally large profits. Write them today Adv.

 Large crowds greeted him at each place. and those who heard him real ized that the sensible address ought to be heard by every farmer busi- ness and professional man in the county. It was refreshing to have a man giving conditions as they ex- ist, and not endeavoring to arouse class antagonism The farmer, said the speaker, is attempting to sell in 30 days his cotton crop, a product that the buyer and consumer pur- chases during the entire year and he is blaming the middle man, the man characterized by the speaker as in mo mans land" for the failure to get the prices deserved, when, as matter of fact under present con dittons. the middle man is absolutely necessary to make sales at all since the consumer cannot be reached by the farmers.
 The Middle Man
 But the middle man is responsible for the high prices charged the con sumer, and makes his own bargains with the farmer and this can only be avoided by organization of the farmer-and cooperative selling. The speaker said that in Kansas alone there are 700 cooperative marketing associations among the farmers; that these associations are enabling the | farmers to place their products on the market when needed and to &C.,

 Governors of the states having units in the original Rainbow livi- i sion also were petitioned by resolu- tion of the veterans to reorganize such units without delay.
