has paid cent
for service
What greater proof supreme efficiency and economy
of the General Electric Refrigerator could be asked?

Not penny for service! What is
it that makes such an unheard
of thing possible? Look at that
small round unit on top of the
General Electric cabinet. Your
answer is there-the answer
which tells you why the General
Electric Refrigerator is the most
inexpensive refrigerator you
can own.
In that amazing unit on top is
housed your refrigerator's entire
northumberland forever
against dirt, rust, moisture
trouble. And sealed up with it
is a permanent supply of oil, that
will protect the mechanism as
thoroughly in the years to come
as on the day you first plug your
General Electric Refrigerator
into its socket.

MT. CLEMENS, Mich, August al
Mr.. Kuzrna Satavisky is holding a sort
of open house in the Macomb County
Jail today, while several score far
mers are trying TO refresh his memory.
Mr.. SataviSky. who has been in jail
for several days, distinctly remembers
stealing a large number of chickens
in Macomb County. He also has an
excellent memory as to the size, plum
mage, market price and breed Of the
fowl. But, try as he will, Mr.. Sata-
visky cannot remember just where he
purloined the fowl.
The trouble is. police say, they can't
arraign MFR. Satavisky on the chicken
theft charges until they learn whose
chickens he stole and when. Ana so
farmers from all over the county are
paying calls on Mr.. Satavisky in the
jail house and asking him leading
questions.
Mr. Satavisky was captured while
trying TO break in q house, and he
readily admitted to officers that he is

SPRINGFIELD, H., August I'll
flames Hamilton Lewis Democratic
candidate for the Senate, will seek
election on platform favor1ng repeal
of all prohibition legislation.
The Democratic State convention
adopted yesterday, without a dissenting
vote, an anti-clry plank calling for I'M
qualified repeal Of the eighteenth
amendment and immediate repeal OF
the Volstead act, the Jones law and
the Illinois search and seizure act.
And we shall" the platform read,
"under no circumstances favor any
legislation in Illinois that VIII restore

Pending repeal of the eighteenth
amendment, the platform calls for i'm
mediate repeal of the Volstead act and
the substitution of an act permitting
the manufacture, sale and trsnsporta-
ton of light wines and beer.
Liquor Laws Attacked.
The unexpected unanimity on the
prohibition plank followed former Sena-
tor Lewis scathing attack of liquor
laws. The dripping wet" Cook County
(Chicago) delegates had expected OPP
position as a majority of the resolu-
lions committee were from downstate
districts heretofore considered dry.
For the first time, a woman presided
rs permanent chairman of the conven-
ton. She was Sarah Bond Hanley OF
Monmouth.
The Democrats also criticized pri-
mary expenditures of the Republican
senatorial nominee, Ruth Hanna Nc
Cormick.
THE Republican party's nominee

fore a special investigating committee
that she expended more than $3.50 ,00C
in the primary alone, and that others
spent an additional SGT 1000 for her. Of

Bar From Elections.
Declaring that this debauchery by
excessive wealth excludes men ant
women of moderate means from par
ticipation in elections" the platform
said that precedent in Newberry, Ware
and Smith cases indicated the Repub
lican nominee from Illinois would no
be seated even if elected"
The platform also denounced TIT
Republican party 'for saddling add
tional burdens on the farmers o
America by vicious tariff measure
passed at session primarily called To-
relief of the farmer"
The prohibition question promises t,
