This giant is the American farmer. A committee of seven prominent farm organization leaders has been appointed to quiz all presidential aspirants as to their attitude toward matters which the farmer considers. of paramount importance. ’ i Their reports as to the attitude of these candidates will go out to the millions of farmers all over the United States, and will have much weight with the tiller of the soil when he goes to the polls to vote. L to be the candidates. ‘Dusiness and organized labor, for both get the:gravy when j;hey make a roar. ) X i But just how the candidates are going to: satisfy big busi- ness and organized labor on one hand and the farmer on the other is a mystery difficult to solve at this stage of the game. And the farmer, hanging together, can relegate any candi- date to the scrap pile in the bat of an eye. Tough on the candidates? - -_—— . CAUSE FOR GENUINE WHOLESOULED, “AMEN.” A lot of foreigners, it.seems, have returned to their native, countries because the United States is too “dry” for them. They are not of the most desirable class of our foreign popula- tion. Now if the rest of our objectionable aliens will annex a mighty thirst and flit to the other side we’ll emit a genuine, wholesouled “Amen.” ! — e The smile that won’t come off is of little value to the world. 1t is founded upon nothing and is gauged by its origin.

An organizer of the World War Veterans spoke in this city last Thurs- day afternoon to an audience composed of about a dozen members of the American Legion. He was given a respectful hearing at the conclusion of which he was plied with questions by the legionaires who sought proof of a number of wild assertions the speaker made. The speaker, however, failed to make good, evading the issue as best he could. The World War Veterans may be all that the speaker claimed for them as an organization but they were poorly represented here Thursday. To a Pioneer Journal representa- tive the speaker frankly admitted that the World War Veterans were willing to accept support from any organization, regardless of their loyalty to- his government even thovgh they had been convicted of disloyalty. The World War Veterans failed miserably in their attempt here Thursday to establish the need of their organization.—Wadena Journal ! ————0; x CHURCH ADVERTI;ING. That somewhat imponderable commodity which the church has to offer mankind makes 1ts advertising a necessarily subtle undertaking. The con- suming public in religious matters knows only indefinitely what it wants, and church advertising in consequence suffers in a measure from lack of] a definite appeal. Good bread can be made descriptively alluring, but a good chureh service—at least that element of it which is of worth—escapes such simple manipulations. Advertising, névertheless, is probably a factor necessary to the re- efevation Pf the church from rather general indifference. Left somewhat|| breathless' and behind by the sudden accelerations of other social organ- izations 1n the last two aecades, the church recognizes the need for secular speed and effectiveness. Certain wideawake church organizations now have taken the initiative with plans for systematic and nation-wide newspaper advertising.—Chicago News. ” i S “FAIR PLAY WITH LEONARD WOOD.” Judging from the Dawson Sentinel published by Theodore Christianson, it looks like Frank Day’s Fairmont Sentinel was making votes for General Wood in that section of the country. Throwing that “militarism dope” with a view of securing republican votes for a democratic candidate will be treated as 8 joke. ' ik b Eoceuphie S . WONDER IF NOONAN TALKS IN HIS SOEES?

It is not generally knowA that Cos- mo Hamilton, the author and play- wright is the brother of Philip Gibbs, probably the greatest correspondent which the great war: produced and who recently made a notahle visit to this country. Mr. Hcmilton is the writer of the novel from which ‘‘The Miracle of Love,” the picture show- ing last time tonight at the Elko theatre, with Wyndham Standing and (Lucy Cotton in the featured roles, was adapted. He is an Englishman who has' written several popular novels and has also furnished scores of successful stories for the stage and screen. .

These two mo- tor products have so thoroughly estab- lished their reputation for “long life” and operation” that they “low cost of without doubt surpass everything in the market for popularity. Millions are being spent at these two factories to. increase production fa- cilities, but it takes time to build buildings and install machinery, so we will not get the benefit of these changes and improvements this spring and summer. In justice to Buick and- GMC dealers through the Northwest these facts are published. Those who delay in plac- ing their orders should certainly not complain if they find in the spring a dealer’s allotment all spoken for. Why spend y‘our money on a “second choice” auto or truck? Just about as satisfying ' as to see the horse you bet on come in “second” in a race. we can’t fill your order "The Motor Inn ‘ Phone 78 312 Beltrami Ave. after the Show I have heai-d buyers accuse dealers of not trying to get cars to fill their orders.

The man -who wants to “wait and see” is going to be one who will wind up by spending his money for his “sec- ond choice.” A GMC truck is a money making investment—if the truck is not on hand when needed, it is easy to figure up the loss and what’s eone is gone. My honest and sincere advice to every man who plans on a Buick car or a GMC truck this spring or early summer is to place his order now. Don’t blame us if later on Bemidji, Minn. Defectiv
