vious Republican Congress had en-
acted a budget law, but it was vetoed
by President Wilson. The law went
into effect July /, 1921, in time to apply
to the fiscal year beginning on the
same date. Whatever economies have
been effected by reason of the Budget
Bureau Since that time are to be cred
tied to the early action of the Repub-
lican Congress in putting the law on
the books which created the Budget
Bureau and made its operation pos.
eib1e.
The agricultural industry of the
country was suffering in a degree
which has never been equalled in its
history. This important industry,
which directly affects one-third of our
population and indirectly affects every
Industrial, commercial and financial
activity, was facing bankruptcy. In
order to assist the farmer in this
period Of economic distress the Re-
publican Congress enacted an elab-
crate program Of agricultural rehahili-
tation. This program of constructive
legislation in behalf of the American
farmer is without parallel in the an
mails of American legislation. The sub
stantial effects Of this legislative. pro-
gram are now apparent on every hand.
Notwithstanding the Republican
Congress elected in 1918 and assem-
bled in special session in 1919 had
appropriated hundreds of millions for
ex-scrvice men, the administration of
these funds by the various executive
agencies controlled by the Democrats
had been such that the ex-service men
lad received minimum of benefit.
from the funds. A large part of this
was due to lack of coordination and
cooperation of the various bureaus
One of the greatest pieces Of eoostruc-
tive legislation OF the Republican Con.
gress was the consolidation oil. 1.-The va.
rious agencies dealing with the ex.
service man under the one head of the
Veterans Bureau. This assures expe.
diiion as veil as fair and adequate
treatment Of our disabled eA.seryice
men.
In addition TO this consolidation and
reorganization additional millions were
appropriated for the use Of the Blu
rear. American exscTyice men OF The
World Nar have been better treated
at the hands Of the Republican Cor.
sress than the ex-serYice men of any

that the Republican Party in March

And that something is oil. Oil not
only fills up the thousands Of minute
depressions, but it actually interposes
a film between the two surfaces. The
moving parts of an oiled machine do
not rub against each other, but against
sides of a thin film Of oil which keeps
the Jagged teeth of steel from coming
in contact with each other.
"The molecules which compose oil
are perfect globes. So, as a lubricant,
oil not only has the advantage of be-
ing liquid and therefore flowing free
ly, but it practically places %ball-bear-
ings between all moving parts and
reduces friction to the minimum"

Reindeer live on the treeless Arctic
plains, where In summer they feed
mainly ON the abundant vegetation
which the short arctic summer pro.
duces, and In winter they eat the Itch
en-, commonly called reindeer moss,
which covers great areas In the North.
These plains, or tundras, spread out
over many millions OF acres along the
Behring sea and arctic coasts Of Alas.
