"The homestead of the free How
easy for it to become the homestead Of
the bound and not the free"
Governor Landon is a plain, practical, highly
intelligent and capable American with sense
of humor, and, what is more important sense
of political honor and DUTY
When he ran for Governor of Kansas it was
not for financial profit. He had and has all he
needed to live, for himself, his wife and children,
and made it himself, starting without a dollar.
He owns good house as the modest house
that the State of Kansas gives him. plenty to take
care of his wife and his three children.
Governor Landon went into politics, became
Governor Of his State, because he is interested in
good government, proud of his country and of
it's hard-working men, He represents them.
He looks back with pride to early Americans
that ploughed the prairie and, as he told his
listeners, "built homes, churches and schools
from the very sod from beneath their feet, while
their women made soap, dried fruit, cured meat
and watched over sturdy little boys whom they
rocked to sleep in homemade cradles"
As you read brief quotations from one Of
Governor Landons speeches, under each of these
photographs, please study the face of Governor
Landon and ask yourself some questions, i'm

in the fathers and mothers bringing up the next
generation able to deal with problems on theT
o1Ol account. He believes in Americans that do
not wait for somebody to bring them house
ready made or nicely polished lumber to be put
together easily. He likes the type and is the type
that would make houses, churches, schools from
the sod if necessary.
Governor Landons idea is that a man should
have home, be independent in it; that he should
have his place in the nation, and be Independent
in that. He likes to quote four lines by Whittier:
"They crossed the prairie
AS Of old the pilgrims crossed the sea-
To make the West as they the East,
The homestead Of the free"
Governor Landon has shown in Kansas that in
time of necessity public expenditures can be re-
duced without reduction in public services"
And fathers and mothers will note that Gov
ernor Landon does not believe in economizing at
the expense of the public school children. He
is able to say truly:
I'm 1884, our low revenue year, we spent AZ
per cent of the tax dollar for educational pur
poses, exactly the same per cent Of the tax dol
lar we spent in 1929, our peak revenue year"
One of the most magnificent high schools in
America is near Governor Landon's house in
Topeka It is brand new and cost sixty times
as much as the Governors residence.
On this page, you read few extracts from
one brief talk by Governor Landon, and what is
more important, you SEE HIS FACE in ad-
mrable photographs that enable you to know
what kind Of man the Governor is.
Does he not strike you "a sane, forceful,
earnest American citizen, with a saving grace
of humor and CHARACTER that deserves the
support of other Americans?

We ask finally, does not Governor Landon

Would you not be willing to see him in CON-
mand of your ship if he were seaman; Of your
locomotive if he were an engineer, or of busi-
ness if you were his partneri
Governor Landon thinks the United States
should be able to do what his State, Kansas, has
done: pay its bills, substantially as it goes along
"instead of leaving our descendants to pay our
debts"
He says: "Left-over problems of our times
should not be added to the new ones Of tomor-
row. That is not fair to the coming generation"
Do you not agree with that?
Like every other man Of experience, Governor
Landon knows that nations, like individuals, ruin
themselves through extravaganza That belief
he expresses with the greatest emphasis, and
history proves its truth
"THE~ERRORS OF AN UNSOUND FISCAL
POLICY HAVE ALWAYS BEEN RUINOUS
TO EVERY GOVERNMENT IN THE HISTORY
OF CIVILIZATION"
When he tells you what Kansas has done,
while he has been Governor, to fight the depres
sion, he does not take credit to himself, there is
no big 'ME" in his conversation. He says results
were mot accomplished by the head Of the State
Government; it was not done by central gov
ernment, it was accomplished by more than 5000
boards from the State Legislature down u one

made our hearts miss peat.
They met Mr.. and Mrs. Clyde
Beatty rehearsing their new act.
Mrs. Beatty, they were told, has
been working with the animals for
only two years and was preparing
to do an act alone for the first time
this season.
Historic Feat Rehearscd
For the first time in history, they
were told, lion and tiger are to
ride around the ring on an ele-
plants back.
Mrs. Krieg and Mrs. Shirley, both
Auxiliary members, and their hus-
bands, learned that these three ami
mails are natural enemies.
1--WE more than carried out the
request to stand motionless outside
the cage while the act was being
rehearsed. We scarcely breathed,
Mrs. Krieg recalled. Having been
rehearsed only week prior to the
time we were there, the animals
seemed as worried about it as we
did. Signs of relief rose from the
onlookers when the animals finally
were led from the cage and Mrs.
Beatty, who weighs less than 100
pounds, came out smiling"
Result of Patience
The visitors were told that a year
before the act was tried the lion
and the tiger were placed in ad-
joining cages. AS time passed, they
were put in the same cage and fed
together. Later these two, selected
in the first place because they
seemed to have less animosity for
each other than any of the other
cats" we're moved close to the ele-
plant. Finally a dummy elephant
was placed in the big cage to test
the animals reactions.

Now I am going with again. One
night last week she admitted that
she loved me and was terribly jeal-
Gus. She said that even though she
was having dates with others she
cared only for me but that she
wouldn't go steady because of the
way I treated her before! 1t has
me almost frantic because I love
her and don't want to share her
with some one else. What should
I do and how should I do it? Please
help me! FRANTIC.
Answer-You're getting along
quite nicely without any aid from
me. BY accident you've stumbled
on to one method of stirring up a
girls interest by making her fear
that she can not get you. Now she
is trying to retaliate by turning your
method back on you. How we'll it
works! When partners are smart
enough to leave something to be de-
sired they do not become bored with
each other.

you are both too young to settle
down TO one partner in life. I'm
less you see other young people,
how can either of you know how
well you hold up by comparison?
You can not escape competition
in life and it profits you nothing
to build a fence around the OBJ
ject of your affections. If you
have sufficient self-esteem you
will not fear that another boy
can win your girl away from you,
and the same rule holds true with
her. Calm yourself.
Dear Jane Jordan-I am a girl of
18 and was graduated from high
school this spring. I like to have
a good time, but when I am out
with a group I can't find anything
to talk about. I am embarrassed at
whatever I do, especially when I am
with a boy. I get disguised vita
myself because boys would rather
go with some one who isn't so BASH
full. How can I become more pop1-
lar? MADGE.
Answer-By forgetting yourself

and thinking of the pleasure and
comfort of others. Practice think
ing about the interests of others
when .ou are with them. Let your
thoughts dwell on what they do,
how they spend their time, what
they read, where they go to school,
the games they like, the people they
know and any other circumstances
that concerns them. People adore
to talk about themselves and need
very little encouragement from a
friend who is willing to listen. Your
regard makes your friend feel
superior and he will like you for in

boy he should be very good look
ing and have plenty of money to
spend, but don't. Who is right
and who is wrong? MIKE.
Answer-It is better to judge a
boy by his ability to be a good
comrade than to place too much
emphasis on his looks and the
money he has to spend.
