 From Draft in War

But though he worked hard and drove his men hard, there was time for other things, too. He was chair man of the Belgian relief con- mittee in Montgomery county in 1915. He joined the Chamber of Commerce and was active in behalf of the Red Cross, Salvation Army and the Boy Scouts.
 While national tragedy stalked the nation, personal tragedy also lay in wait for Ali Landon. His mother had died in 1914. About year later he brought his bride Margaret Fleming, whom he had known in boyhood, from the old Pennsylvania home neighborhood.
 They had daughter, Margaret Ann, the same slim girl who cap- tivated the hundreds who met her at the recent convention. But a year after her birth, Mrs. Landon died.
 When the war came to Amer lea, Alfred Landon had mother less daughter to care for. He was far down on the draft lists, but entered service anyway. Assign cd to the Chemical Warfare Serv- ice, he served for some months ir camp near Lakehurst, N. J., but was not sent overseas. He was first lieutenant on his release from the army.

 His standing rose in the oil coun- try, and he became known through all the oil region of Kansas and Oklahoma as he drove from town to town inspecting and supervising his properties and searching for new prospects. At one time he was chosen vice-president of the Mid- continental oil and Gas Association. He was a leader in the fight of producers of the Midcontinental field to get tariff against foreign crude oil. For many years he con- tinued his association with the Mid- continental association as vice-pres- ident for Kansas.
 AS the years passed and his daughter grew up, Landon began to do less field work in the oilflelds and more direction over the long, distance telephone. That is how he operates his properties today. By telephone he keeps in touch with lo- ] cal superintendents on his proper ties, directing their activities.

The present Mrs. Landon is 36 today, and would be one of the youngest First Ladies to enter the White House should Landon be elected. Things were breaking well for Lucky Landon."

Refused to Risk
 AMI for "KilIing"

The oil business in the young Kansas and Oklahoma fields was a 1Ough-aTld-tumble affair back in 10li. Ali Landon plunged into the Fame at 26, and he played 1t hard.
 He never was "wildcatter" in 1l1e sense of one who. would take Dis last cent and bet 1t on a single Weil--rich if 1t came in, broke if tt did not. There were plenty like that in the oil fields.
 Not Alf Landon. He played the Fame carefully, scientifically, al- ways regarding oil prospecting tomewhat like farming, as Q pro- puctive, creative enterprise.
 His business was buying and sell- Ing oil lands and leases, going out on the job to supervise the drilling pf his wells, dickering for the sale cf his product, keeping books and Watching the corners on the cost of his operations. That w.s where Landon differed from the average oil prospector. He knew what his Operations cost, and they usually cost less than almost anyone else's.
 It was active, open-air work. You slep out in mosquito plagued bwasnps, in bare board shacks, your clothes and your skin saturated with oil and dirt. You watched all night, waiting for a new well to be shot, Knowing that 1t might be pro- dlctive well, and that 1t might be Just another dry hole.
 LAndon had plenty of dry ones, but the fact that a good propor- ton of his wells came in is dem- Onstrated by the fact that he made nnCney. He got the name of being lucky, but there is every reason to believe that careful operation, in- aelligent direction, energy and per Aistence were the things that kept
