 They started in the oil business with 8 few gas stations. Their steps toward the source of supply were speedy along the route of tank trucks, bulk tanks, to oil, blending plants and their own co-op railroad tank cars.
 They started in fertilizer and feed at about the same time, and their steps have been even more rapid and direct there. They now, in many cases, have gone straight back to production.
 They started, as in the oil busi- ness, to save money by pooling pur- chasing power. They found that they could save more and more by going farther and farther, so they kept on. The result is another major change in the economic set- up of the eastern and western farmer.
 Strangely enough, these farm CTS have found that 1t doesn't take much money to build big busi- ness, especially when there are no profits going to outside stockhold- CTS. The case of the Eastern States Farmers Exchange pro- vides one of the most amazing rec- ords in the annals of American business.
 A group of men in Springfield, Mass, a few years ago decided to form a cooperative to save money on feed. They set up their or-

Big Shots Hold Back

The only fly in the Landon soup and even this one may soon take wing--seems to be the disposi- ton of many republican big shots to avoid committing themselves until they are sure that Landon can be held at his present level of prestige.
 Even Landons friends, although believing that he can make 8 strong appeal to the electorate If Roosevelt proves sufficiently unpop- ular next fall, do not consider him q ball of fire.
 They aren't trying to build him up as a super man. He is held to be sound, prudent, economical, honest, and not lacking in cour- age. But some of the influential G. o. P. politicos still try to ex- press vague feeling that a stronger and more nearly perfect candidate, not yet prominently mentioned, is somewhere in the 0ffing.
 They don't mean Knox, Dickin- son, or Vandenberg whose last speech aroused no enthusiasm. A few mean Justice owen J. Roberts of the supreme court.

New Deal DOdges Issue

The New Deal snatches its PWA housing case away from the supreme court because 1t feared an opinion which would wreck large gobs of PWA and perhaps WPA as we'll and, most important of all, might set up the supreme court as an ar- bitter over government spending.
 This danger to the New Deal In
 the Louisville housing case, in which the right to condemn prop erty for a PWA housing project
 was at issue was outlined exclu- sively in this column many months ago. At that time. Ro0se-
 welt said: "Damn the torpedOes, go ahead with the appeal"
 At the last moment, just as argu- ments were supposed to be heard, he directed the Justice Department to ask dismissal of the case.
 Arguments had been so con- structed that the court would have had to decide whether the housing project was for public purpose" for which Congress might legally provide.
 Unless 1t were willing to uphold the government, the court would have had to say the purpose wasn't constitutional and that the court was the agency to decide those things for which Congress could and couldn't spend money.

Two negroes were arrested in Po-
comoke this week charged with will
fully attempting to wreck passenger
trains on the Delmarva division of
the N. Y. P. and N. Railroad.
The negroes were julius G. Nc
Gruff, aged "a, and William Jones,

frigerator car open and swinging. A
confession is said to have been OBJ
tanned from them to the effect that
they were angry because they had
been chased away from other cars.
An excursion train, carrying about
400 passengers hit the swinging door
and broke it from it's hinges, other
wise the door would have swept the
entire side of the eleven-car train.

brakes, but succeeded in bringing the

ANNOUNCES FOR
NOMINATION AS
DEM. GOVERNOR
Edward w. COOch, Brother Of
Mrs. w. S. Scheduled Will
Wage Active Campaign

The following was clipped from a
Delaware State Exchange:
Endorsed by Democrats of Pencader
Hundred at Gascow last week, Ed
ward w. Cooch Of Cooch's Bridge, at
torney with offices in Wilmington has
announced his candidacy for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
81 will make an active campaign
for nomination and election" Mr..
Cooch said after announcement of his
candidacy.
His first candidacy was for Attor-
ney General of the Democratic ticket
in 1884. He received the unanimous
vote of the state convention of his
party for the post and received the
highest number of votes of the Demo-
cratic candidates in the elections.
Actively interested in the historic
life of Delaware, Mr.. Cooch was ap-
pointed a member of the Delaware
Historic Markers Commission in 1881.
He was one of the organizers Of
the Taxpayers Research League of
Delaware serving as president of the
body from 1926 to 1929.

biggest cash award, it is up to you
alone to have more votes than your
nearest competitor. Work hard-vic-
tory is just ahead. The doors of the
campaign office will close promptly
at 500 p. M, on Saturday, August
%, and no one will be permitted to
enter after that time to turn in votes
and subscriptions.
This is the time to work for "sec-
end payments, and the contestants
are not forgetting their possibilities
in that direction. A Second payment"
is another payment on a subscription
previously given. By this plan a
contestant can go over the field again
and get subscribers to extend SUBJ
scriptions. Those extended subscrip-
tions will count on the special offer
under which the original subscription
was given.
For example, if one-year subscrip
ton was given you in the first per-
iod and is extended to two years by
the payment of another one-year SUBJ
scription, the candidate securing the
second subscription receives a credit
for additional votes, which count g.
500 votes instead of $500 votes. The
extension subscription extended from
one to ten years would add still more
votes in proportion to the size of the
subscriptions. Ten subscriptions ex-
tended from one year to ten years in
the first period would get 2,55O,OOO
votes. Consequently, second pay
ment" subscriptions will play a big
part in the winning of the Biggest
Awards.
The judges, or their representatives
will be on hand to see that the cam
paign is closed in accordance with the
rules. Those who are in the cam
paign office when the doors are closed
will be permitted sufficient time to
prepare their subscriptions and votes
and place them in the sealed ballot
box which will be placed in the cam
paign office the last day of the cam
paign, Saturday, August %.

day. A car drove up to get gas and
oil. While this alert dealer was
checking the oil he noticed the worn
fan belt on the car and asked the
driver to buy a new one.
Just when he thought he had sold
a new fan belt the driver said, "Con-

This dealer had caught one, Of the

unusual and interesting contests ever

at Gates fan belt dealers along the
way. These are Known as MvFtery

these men are or where they are trav-
