MONEY ORDERS
Postmaster to Recommend the Spe'
 eial Printed Form

When a money order is drawn at the Putnam postoffice for payment to the remitter the postmaster should recommend to the patron the use of the special form for that purpose in order to insure Identification, according to a general order to postmasters by Third Assistant Postmaster General R. s. Regar.
 At this season of the year there is general movement of transient la borers from one section of the country to the other" Mir Regar states. These transients avail themselves of the op- portunity to transfer personal funds by means of money orders. and unless their signatures are on file at the pay irv offices. they are often refused payment because of insufficient iden- tifcation."

LATEST TYPE OF
 MOTOR BUSES
w. H. Vanderbilt Operates Newest Acquisition of Acme Line On It's Maiden Trip Wor- cester to Webster.

The Acme line. subsidiary of the Automotive Transportation Company. Worcester Go Putnam, has just put in service the very last word in motor buses. The installation of the new type of vehicle was preceded with a bit of ceremony last Friday.
 The maiden trip of the new twin coach was made between Worcester terminal and Webster. The first bus of this type was operated by William Fl. Vanderbilt of Newport, president of the company. Worcester. Oxford, Auburn and Webster officials were guests on the trip.
 The new type of bus is now appear ing on the regular run to Putnam daily. It attracted considerable at fenti0n on it's maiden trips but the public soon gets accustomed to new sights. With but few days passed since the motor vehicle appeared in this city 1t is now running in and out Of town without attracting attention or comment.
 Looks Like Trolley Car
 The new type of motor bus looks like a small trolley car. The driver sits in front ahead of the wheels and has the appearance of being in the vestibule of a trolley. There are two six cylinder motors capable of gen erating no horse power. The bus easily seats thirty-siN passengers. The tallest person may walk down the isle without stoop as the vehicle from the floor to roof is well over six feet high.
 There are front and rear doors opened and closed by the driver press ing button. Air brakes ef the lat est type provide for safe handling. There is ample room for baggage and the twin coach is comfortable and easy riding.

OF the authors of the Fordney-McCumher

Hon. John n. Garner.
House office Bldg,
Washington, d. C..
M dear Friend:
/ understand that you have opposition
in your District based on your position on
the Tariff. am quite surprised at this,
because in my service with you for ten
years on the Ways and Means Committee.
] always found .hat you took particular
care to see that farm and ranch products
were well taken care Of in the way of pro-
lection.
While you and I did not always agree
upon rates 10 be placed on manufactured
products. | always found 80 ready 10 boost
farm products especially the products Z
Texas. There is no better evidence OF this
fact than tie rates provided for on some
o. the Texas products in the Underwood
Tariff Law. for instance angora goat hair.
by you alone, was the dat provided for in
that bill on lis product.
IL YOU we're having opposition from a
Republican in your District | could under
stand how claims of this kind could be
made against you. but TO have such oppo-
sition from a Democrat is beyond my COM
prehension.
wish your people to understand from
me that there never was a man in Con-
gress bearing Democratic sentiments that
gave mor1 earnest attention to the welfare
or the farmer than you have. | would
like 10 meet the fellow on the same plat
form that would take exception to your
work in Congress in the interest Of farm
products.
| think 7 could explain to the s~atisfac-
,ion 81 your constituency that you are
entitled 20 their most earnest support.
May God bless you and give you long
life in this world,

GREEN PRAISES CARRIERS WORK IN
BEHALF OF DISTRICT

Congressman W. r. Green, Iowa, repub-
lican, former chairman Of the WAYS and
Means committee, and closely associated
with Congressman Garner in the work Of
that. the most important. committee of
congress. adds his tribute to Gamers work
in behalf Of his district, state and nation
in the following letter:
Washington, n. c.
April II, 1928
Hon. John NJ. Garner.
House Of Representatives,
Washington, d. G.
MY Dear Mr.. Garner:
Recently | have been informed that you
have a candidate against you in the prim-
airy on the Democratic ticket, who Is max
ing his campaign on the ground that he
will be able 10 do more for the people Of
your district in the way OF obtaining pro-
lection for the products of the farm than
you would o. could.
This il a great mistake. The people do
not always understand how little a mem
Der of Congress can do until he has been
here for a number Of years. ! am sure you
can do more for your constituents in the
way of obtaining protection for their prod
ucts than any new man could, and | know
that you have always done the best posi-
bio TO protect the products of the farms Of
your district. Your long experience here
and your standing in Congress is a great
advantage 10 your constituents whose in
terests have always been well looked after
BY you.
am writing this assuming that 8
Democrat will be nominated and elected
in your district. Such being the case. I
can hardly think it possible that your CON
stituents will give up the advantage that
they now have.
With best wishes. I remain.
Very truly yours.

AIAAN ~ So
The incumbent. John n. Garner. is now
completing his thirteenth term-2G years
-as a member Of Congress.
During that long tenure Of office, Mr..
Garner has risen 70 a position Of prom
inence and influence never before attained
By any member Of Congress from Texas,
either in the House or Senate. a position
rarely approached and never surpassed by
any member Of that body from any state,
within the present generation.
During that time. Mr.. Garner has de-
veloped n legislative genius which has made
him the recognized peer of a 'ong list Of
outstanding and acknowledged statesmen
whose names will adorn the pages of Amer
lean history for the inspiration Of genera
tions yet unborn.
During that time, Mr.. Garner has es-
tablished a reputation for ability, courage,
faithfulness, honesty and integrity which
stands unsurpassed and unchallenged by
the record Of any member Of Congress with
In recent years.
During hat time Mr.. Garner has risen
from a place of obscurity TO a position Of
recognized leadership in the councils OF his
party until now he is its unquestioned lead
er in the Congress Of the United States.
And during all Of that time, Mr.. Garner
has not failed 20 render conspicuous SER
vice not only TO his district but 10 the
state Of Texas a. a whole. The record OF
his achievements of this character. the
things Of a material kind he has accom-
plished. the appropriations he has secured
for various projects from post offices 10
ports. would require a volume TO enumer-
ate. No member Of Congress within two
decades has such a record TO his credit.
