HOME BUILDING
SERVICE BEGINS

The Perpetual Building ASsocia
tion announced today new home
building service Is available to
those who desire to finance con
struction or modernization OF
homes. The plan offers an archi
tectural advisory and supervisory
service at extremely low cost.
The Perpetual, established in
1881, is among the largest and old.
est home financing institutions in
the United States, with resources
exceeding $38,000,000. Comment
ing upon the new service, Edward
G. Baltz, secretary, said:
"The plan combines home fl.
nancing with an architectural
advisory and supervisory service,
- ranging in cost from the modest
cottage to homes costing as
much as $500, exclusive Of the
lot. And for those contemplating
larger homes, arrangements will
be made for individual design
and full architectural service at
customary fees.
"In view Of the existing
ahOrtage of mOderrte priced
homes that is now developing
in Washington and the adjOin-
ing area. the officers and di-
rect0rs Of our institution have
given careful study to methods
by which the cost Of home
ownership could be reduced and
the quality Of home conStruc-
tiOn improved.
"After thorough investigation
of the Home Building Service
PLAY, we believe it represents
the most satisfactory method
yet developed to insure proper
standards Of architecture and
construction for homes in the
moderate price classes.
"The Plan is entirely optional
for those who are financing
= new, homes through the Per
petuai. However, the service fee
charged Is considered low
enough to represent a substan-
'tial saving, even on the most
mOdeSS home"

WASHINGTON, D. c., July
3Oth-" Regardless of whether or
not the crop damage turns out
to be greater than in 1884, the
efftcts of this drought will be
harder on the farmers" accord
ing to Farm Research Inc, In
the August issue of Facts for
Farmers. In estimating the sew
Gritty of the present drought it
should be bourne in mind that the
farmers in many areas had been
fighting drought or drought eff
fects, such as rust, for the past
six years and at the same time
were burdened by depression:
Coming so closely on the heels of
the previous disasters, the pre-
sent drought will take a far
greater toll than in 1884 when
10000 families a month were
forced out Of the Gpeat Plains.
Only adequate and immediate
measures taken by the govern
ment can save these thousands
of farm families from being WHIP
ed out. In analysing the present
drought program however, Farm
Research finds that it is much
the same as the 1884 prOram
which failed to halt abandon
ment and foreclosures, and that
the relief being given is less
adequate than in 1884. Fewer
families being taken on relief
and feed loans are made under

New Convention Will Elect
Officers in September.
By LEM HARRIS

The State Convention of the
Wisconsin Holiday Association,
held on July &c at Horizon, went
on record endorsing the National
Holiday Association and its officers
as its first official act. This is
similar to the action taken by the
North Dakota Holiday which also
repudiates the officers who had
bolted the National Convention.
The Convention adjourned with
out electing officers, but provided
for holding another convention in
Marshfield, on the third Sunday in
September.
A strong demand for we'll organ
lied mass action, and unity with
other farm and labor organizations
was made clear in the resolutions.
The convention unanimously call
ed for the building of Farmer
Labor party on a local, state and
national scale-in which all pro-
gressive groups are urged to take
part. 1t condemned the Republican
and Democratic parties. It extend
ed its full support to the National
Advisory Council set up by the
Farmer-Labor party conference
held recently in Chicago. After
hot debate and by close vote, a
resolution was passed "favoring
the election of Lemke as Presi-
dent"
Asks Feed Loans
By unanimous vote the Conven-
ton demanded that sufficient gov
eminent feed loans be made avail
able. It called for united action
with the Workers Alliance and all
other militant organizations in

Secretary Of State
Will Rush Official
Canvass State Vote

Secretary of State Mitchells Of
flee has made all arrangements
for speedy canvass of the vote
cast at the state wide primary
July 81. Under the law the returns
from all the counties must be rs
ceived before the start is made.
Wednesday noon official returns
had been received from 40 of the
Sc counties and should the returns
from the 16 remaining counties be
received by Thursday night, the Of
ficial count will probably start on
Friday morning. The canvasSing
board includes the secretary of
state, the governor and the state
treasurer. The law says; This
board shall proceed within Is days
after the primary nominating cleo
ton. and sooner if all returns be
received to canvass the voters.
There are several state contests
that are comparatively close and
the contestants who lost bv a mar
dow margin on the unofficial
count, are still hoping that the Ct
cial count will change the result.
A change of an average of two
or three votes in each of the 1926
precincts might upset the situa-
ton.
The unofficial votes on state
treasurer and public service com
missioner on the Democratic side
are quite close.
For this reason the canvassing
board will rush the work So that
any feeling of apprehension or
doubt can be done away with.
There is considerable gossip as
to independent candidates. Rep
representatives of the Union party
that plans to run William Lemke
for president interview Secretary
of State Mitchell this week and
made plans to get the nominees Of
that party for electors on the bal
lot.
Present indications are that
there will be seven columns on the
official ballot. as follows: Demo
cratic, Republican, Socialist, Work
ers; Union; Farmer-Labor and In
dependent.

mOre stringent conditions than
previously.
Heavy liquidation of livestock
has already set in. Government
figures show that these distress
sales at low prices enabled the
packers to increase their profit
margins by AZ per cent in the
short interval from July 7th to
10th. Relief policies serve to ag-
gravate the situation, since far
mers are often forced to sell
their livestock in order to get re-
lief jobs. Thus farmers who
might have been able to carry
their animals thru the winter
if they got on relief, are barred.
The Resettlement Administers
tiOn is promoting the Iiquida-
ton of livestock by forcing debt
burden farmers to reduce their
foundation herds and to carry no
more than z to 9 units if they
are to get feed loans. In 1884
farmers were allowed to keep
10 units, and their experience
showed that such limits were al
together too low. Such farmers
are faced with the alternative
of removing themselves from
commercial production or Of try

Teeth regain dazzling whiteness

EILM is the cause of dull, dis
L coiored teeth. 1t is also the
cause of serious tooth and gum
disorders. Run your tongue across
your teeth and you will feel this
film. It abSorbs stains from food
and smoking and turns white teeth
dull. It clings to teeth and hardens
into tartar. Germs by the millions
breed in it. And germs, with tar
tar, are the chief cause of pyorrhea.
Ordinary brushing fails to remove
film successfully. So dentists urge
the special filnl-removing dentifrice
called Pepsodent.
