Z Other club women joined the cause, notably Mrs. William Thaw, jr.. an offi- | cer of the Civie Club of Alleghany County. Aided by the press, they resort- ed to a vigorcus campaign to rid Pitts- burgh of the giaring political .posters that had been plastered indiscriminate- 1y along sde iwalls, trees and poles on public property. The “Baitle of the Posters” among supporters of rival candidates reached a climax when Mayor Charies S. Kiine and the director of public works, Ed- ward G. Lang, ordered the removal of all such signs from city property. In their attempts to attract public attention to their merits for public of- fice, some of the candidates had resort- ed to ingenious advertising. Traffc Magistrate William J. Soost is an ex- | ample. He is a Kline candidate for the City Council. With a zeal for originality | he painted his advertisements in huge letters on the surface of some of the principal streets. Motorists approaching would slow up, thinking it was a cau- tion sign. When they could def th lettering, they read “Boost Soost.” Candidate Blames Enemies. As the campeign progressed. rival eandidates indulged in charges and counter charges. State Senator Coyne, a candidate for county commissioner, deplored the orgy of signs and protested his political enemies had plastered his name all over the city. Others did like- wise and it was almost impossible to fix responsibility. I Municipal officials, however, began to | enforce the city ordinance ‘that for- bade such advertising on public property. | {| Fines of $25 were imposed wherever possible and Director Lang put a truck crew to work and joined the club wom- | en in tearing down signs along the pub- lc highways. | Meanwhile, civic clubs have been hold- | | ing mass meetings and hundreds of || Hurry! women and public spirited men have || joined in an independent campaign to |} $1.98 Mahogany-finish End Ta- put an end to the political advertising | i bles, Wrought - fron Aquariums, i Pretty Boudoir Lamps with Mrs. Thaw declared that at no previ- ous election time have political signs|f shades.

CHAIN STORES MAY D0 OWN FARMING Report of Corporation Proj- ects Alarms Midwest Domestic Interests. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CHICAGO, August 29 —Middle West agricultural districts were stirred this week by a published report that at least one important chain store system intended to enter upon a vast program of corporation farming in order to supply its own food product needs. The story as written by Prof. Walter B. Pitkin of Columbia University, partisan of the corporation method of farm management, suggested the pos- sibility for profit in mass production by agencies which would at the same time have_their own outlets for distri- bution. But chain stores quickly de- nied any intention to step into agri- culture on a large scale. However, the business might be thinking of the pos- sibility of profit in applying mass pro- duction methods to farming, came on | top of another pronouncement by Thomas B. Campbell, who is described by some as the world's biggest farmer. His 95,000-acre project in Montana presumably is financed in Wall Street and he maintains a New York office.
