BY WILLIS THORNTON

Years of travelling all over a state, dressed in laced boots, khaki riding brooches, leather jacket and oil-stained felt hat, dealing with farmers here, dropping in on local politi- clans there, is an excellent background for a man who in- clines to politics.
 Ali Landon had such Q back ground, together with the natural inclination for politics which was drilled into his boyhcod and youth, and which he breathed in the very air of Kansas, Gradually he began to take a more or less active inter- est in Montgomery County politics.
 The memory of freddy" Roose! welt, the idol of his youth, was strong. Both Ali and his father had inclined toward the Bull Moose side in 1912, and in fact the .elder had been Q Roosevelt delegate to the 1912 convention. Young Ali was the Progressive county chairman that year.

Work for Allen Made Firm Friend

Shortly before he left for the war In 1918, Landon was the youngest of 6 group of political workers for Henry Aliens campaign for the gov- ernorship of the state. The election was won while Landon was in the army. On his return he served for some time as secretary to Governor Allen. That friendship counted la- ter, when Allen was one of the KaY- sas boosters who helped nominate Landon at the Cleveland conven- ton.
 Another valuable friend was made two years later, for Landon helped campaign for William Allen White when the veteran liberal editor Was making his governorship fight as an independent against the Kian- dominated regular parties. And White was also most helpful to the Landon candidacy at Cleveland.
 By 1928, Landon was ready to make the plunge into politics as his chief interest. Clyde Reed, Q bril- liant, earnest liberal who was not always entirely tactful in his caIia- paign utterances, called on Landon to be his campaign manager in the race for governor. Reed had, like Landon, been secretary to Gov. White, and Bull Mooser. Reed won, and Landon picked the job of republican state chairman as his own. He held 1t for two years.

long standing, meat stew.
The popularity of meat pie is
gained in the same way as meat
stew. AS has been said, all StewS
should be good but no two should
be alike. This sounds difficult but
when all the vegetables, meats, and
seasoningS are taken into consid-
Grafton it is easy.
These points should be consid-
cred though in preparing them.
The meat may or may not be
Drowned but it should cook long
and slowly.
The vegetables should be cooked
to tendernesS-not beyond this
point. Carrots, onions, and pota-
toes should give away now and
then to string beans, limas, and
celery.
Dutch pies made of pork. old
fashioned mutton pies, veal pies,
and the Maryland oyster pie are
only a few ways in which the
flavor will vary with the choice OF
meat.

and would like to write a letter
of thanks for the hospitality of
my hosts and for the gifts that
they gave me. Please tell me just
how this letter should be

Your letter of thanks might be
worded something like this:
Dear Mary:
what a perfect hostess you are,
and what a perfect host Bob is, and
what perfect hospitality you gave
me on my visit with you and your
family!
81 can't begin to tell you what
a happy time / had. Memories of
the most delightful kind fill my
thoughts, and thank you, with all
my heart, for your goodness to me.
1t was such joy being in your
lovely home, and meeting your
charming friends.

tally, to be given such wonderful
gifts! The evening bag is a beauty.
I've worn it, very proudly, twice al
ready, and every one has admired
it-enviOuSly.
Thank you again for its beauty.

you for the wonder of your good

"Will you please let me know
the correct way to sign Christmas

Does the Mary or John come first?
Some people say that have made
a mistake by not putting the
names John and Mary and Baby
Billy. Please tell me which is
proper. "B."
You're right in the way you sign
your cards. the name of the wife,
even though she is the one who
signs the cards, is signed first. :.

nature is correct. . Mary and John

MANY of us are wearing petit
W1 coats-because they are smart
and gay, and give us a good swish
beneath our winter dresses and
suits, but also because they save
laundry considerably. And here
are some grand petticoats-quite a
value, we might say. They are of
acetate taffeta, brightly plaided in
such colors as green, brown, rust
or gold, with pleats about the bot
tom. They have been priced a
good deal more, but are part of
special sale downtown, so are just
$1.19 for the present. They'll see
you through the winter with your
dark suits or frocks, and save your
light summer slips.
