Final Characteristic
Word on Election

Madison, Wis. Nov. Ex-senator
Robert n. LaFollette, Independent
presidential candidate. considered
politics again tonight after a day of
rest IN doing easy odd jobs around
his 6O-acre farm.
In. a formal public statement he
said:
calvin Coolidge has authorized
the Republican national committee
to run an elect me or starve' CAM
raign in the closing days of the con-
test" his statement said. This
tIme-honOred threat has out-lived It's
effectiveness; wage earners, indepen-
dent business men and farmers have
learned from previous campaigns
that such threats are only the bluff
fling methods used by desperate
parties and candidates just before
election and that they are never car
ried into effect. The very interests
that make such threats cannot af-
lord to go through with them.
The cry was raised against
Woodrow Wilson in the campaign OF
1912. and there was no shut down
in industry.
THE American people have learn
ed their lesson and will not be whip
ped into line with this Stone Age
propaganda.
Neither will they permit the
boodling of this election by a huge
slush fund
Progressive voters will march 10
the polls by millions to vote their
honest convictions and thereby 70
give the lie to the assumption of
Coolidge and Butler that this coun-
try no longer boasts a free. incor-
ruptible. courageous citizenry."
The senator will vote early in the
morning in Madison, will devote III ;
day at the farm to various chores
and will receive election returns in
the evening in the executive offices
in the state capital.

Metal Roofs Blamed for Drought

Three hundred thousand meta.
roofs in Toxic, most of them tin and
galvanized iron. are adding appre-
ciably to the discomforts of one Of
the hottest summers in recent years.
More than one-half the city's pop
ulation lives in buildings erected
since the earthquake Of last Septem-
Der. and nearly all these buildings
have metal roofs. Temperatures in
such houses are from to 10 degrees
Fahrenheit higher than in build
ings rooted with slate or tile.
Experts say the heat is not the
the only discomfort ensendered by
the metal roofs. Toxic and it's sub
urbs are suffering the worst summer
drought in so years. Districts to the
north and southwest get rain, but
rot the Toxic metropolitan area.
and half the wells in the suburbs
have dried up.
1t is argued that Toxic gets no
rain because the metal roofs, re-
fecting the suns rays generate n
body Of superheated air which rises
and carries the rain clouds away.

their tremendous financial bur-
dens."
The woman who is happy and
who makes her family happy al
ways shows balance on the
credit side OF her housekeeping
books. She does not spend money
until the money has been earned.
Even though the family savings
are small. they are nevertheless
important, for they relieve the
family from oppression and the
feeling of a mounting burden Of
debt which cannot be relieved.
The same principle applies to
the government. As the President
stated: 1.-The expenses Of the gov
eminent reach everybody. When
we come TO realize that the yearly
expenses OF all the governm ents
in this country have reached the
stupendous sum OF about $500
0o0. oec we get some idea Of what
this means. OF this amount about
$500, 900, 600 is needed by the
national government and the re-
mainder by local governments.
st want the people OF America
TO work. less for the government
and more for themselves. I want
them to have the rewards Of their
own industry"
This followed out the pledge Of
the Republican platform to the
the people Of this country which
declared firmly: I'VE demand and
the people OF the United States
have the right to demand. rigid
economy in government"
A policy OF strict economy enc

LESSON NOS
LIGHTING THE DINING ROOM

In some ways the dining room
is just the opposite of the living
room. The living room has many
different uses, but the dining room
is seldom used except at meal
times. In the living room the fur
niture is moved about and changed,
but in the dining room the arrange
mcnt of furniture rarely changes.
The dining table is in the center
of the room, and it is the center
of interest. It should be the most
brightly lighted object in he whole
room. There are a number of diff
ferent kinds of fixtures which may
be hung from the ceiling to pro-
vide good lighting. and almost all
Of them may be used improperly to
provide bad lighting.
