Nebraska Welcomes League (From the Lincoln (Neb.) Herald) The Herald has talked to a large number of citizens regarding the Non- partisan league that is organizing this state for political work—working men, business men, professional men—and find them unanimously in favor of it. They know something of the League's principles and what it accomplished in North- Dakota in routing ring rule and they are for it. The general sentiment among them is, ‘“We need something to bring relief from present unbearable conditions and this non- partisan movement strikes me as just the thing. The parties have betrayed us and party lines are therefore broken down.” The politicians of course are opposing the League because they see in it their own undoing. Men having poli- tical bees or with axes to grind will op- pose it because the League doesn’t deal with office seekers, slate makers, hand picked candidates or political jobbers. The League’s method of selecting can- didates is purely democratic. The members select capable, reliable men by delegate convention for candidates and they are placed on the primary ballot in the regular way, by petition. To be an office seeker in the League plan means sure defeat. Surely no harm can come to the people’s inter- ests when the people select their own candidates, Out of 13 League candi- dates elected in North Dakota last year, only three have proved wanting *in their trust. The work of organizing Nebraska is moving along nicely, the farmers taking to it like ducks to water as they see in it emancipation. The Country Gentleman, the great agricultural paper published at Phil- adelphia, refers to the North Dakota movement as "A great upheaval. The most remarkable political revolt by farmers ever attempted in this coun- try.” Nebraska is going to follow suit. Watch Your Helpers, Herbert (From the Minot (N. D.) Daily News) We have had a considerable amount of confidence in Food Director Hoover. He has accomplished the seemingly impossible tdsk of feeding Belgium while its people were in the battle zone. He has lots of determination and abundance of ability. But we much doubt if he is not getting some of the lines of food control into the hands of the wrong class of men to accomplish the purposes he desires to accomplish. Among these latter is the recent ap- pointment of George M. Rolph of Cali- fornia to the position of price-fixer on sugar. Mr., Rolph is the general man- ager of the California-Hawaiian Sugar company , the gigantic trust built up by the late Claus Speckles. So much for the man. The concern of which he is the manager practically has control of the entire sugar supply of the Hawaiian Islands and.a considerable slice of the supply raised in the Philippines. The concern has been the object of sus- picion for years, and when sugar took the fifty per cent raise it did at the beginning of the war in 1914 it was a Scotch verdict that the California- Hawaiian Sugar company was the agency which was responsible for the graft. The price was increased on stocks which were bought when no war was in sight. The raise was the order from the sugar trust. It is foolish to believe that men who will rob the people in times of peace by holding up prices or cornering a product forget their devilish purposes and become philanthropists in times of war. The packers tried out that duncombe, and while they were prating that all they had could be bought by the government, they were secretely duying the tomato crop in order to starve the people into paylng high prices. The same may be found true of the man who has been named to fix the price of sugar, v MISS RANKIN IS RIGHT Miss Jeanette Rankin, the only woman in congress, blames John D. Ryan, president of the Amalgamated Copper company for the labor troubles 4n Montana, and the lady is probably right. Figures that have not been dis- puted show that the government can duy with the two billion dollars.recent- 1y raised by the so-called Liberty loan bond sale, supplies that two years ago ocould have been bought for five hun- dred million. This means that approx- fmately three quarters of the money raized through the Bsale of Liberty bonds will go to enrich corporations and individuals already so burdened with war profits that they know not what to do with them.—CARRINGTON ‘@N.

Hundreds of them are choosing Lalley- Light—the ball-bearing plant—because it is economical, simple and high-qual- ity. And because it has been in actual farm use for nearly seven years—longer than any other farm electric plant. Electric light, once a luxury, has be- come a necessity where efficiency, safety and convenience are desired. It is also the cheapest l_iéht when these advantages are taken into con- sideration. > New Lalley-Light brings electricity to the nation’s farms in its safest, sim- plest, most reliahle,, most economical form. Plant Is 27 Inches long 14 Inches wide 21 Inches high What Electricity to make brilliant, steady light; to pump water, to run churns, separators, etc.; to make living and working conditions better in many ways. One big distinguishing feature of Lal- ley-Light is the unflickering brilliance of its light; the steady flow of,_ its power. The lamps shine as steadily when the current is drawn direct from the gener- ator in operation as when it tomes from the storage battery. L d This is so because Lalley-Light engine is designated especially to run an elec- tric generator. Its economy, light running, and long life are assured by extra large ball bearings—two on the crankshaft and one on the connecting rod—where split babbitt or roller bearings are ordinarily used. As a rule, farm lighting plants are equipped with ordinary low-speed Lalley-Light Users Say: I have run your lighting outfit for over four years and_ have marveled at the way it has stood up. It is ‘‘/fool-proof,” won't wear out or get out of order, and anyone can start and run {t. I figure my lighting costs about half the cost in the city. C. B. WOLFE, Columbus, Ohio. The Lalley-Light plant which I have had In use for about three years behaves in a most satisfactory manner. It has never given me any.trouble and is about as ‘‘fool- proof”’ as can be. The lights never flicker when we are using the generating set; and they grow lighter and darker frequently from the city current. W. D. CHESTER, Pittsburgh, Pa. I sold a Lalley-Light plant to Mr. John Burke, who runs the “Hill Crest Dairy Farm.” In their creamery building they have a.20 H. P. oil or gas engine for run- aing their machinery. Now they run all the machines, except the largest, with the L H. P. motor from_ current generated by Httle ‘LaNey.” The saving is plainly seen. At night Hill Crest Farm looms up like a house afire, and they are more than pleased at-the nice even light; and all they can use at any time. The ‘‘Lalley”” has been in constant service for more than a year and has never missed a stroke to my knowledge. PAGE LALLEY-LIGH WM. F. SANTISTEBAN, Columbus, Ind. FIFTEEN gasoline engines, or heavy duty farm engme adaptions. Lalley-Light high speed engine, with lighter power impulses and more of them, delivers power approximately as steady as steam-engine power. Yet, with but three moving parts it is simpler than most gasoline engines. Its governor—97 per cent accurate—as- sures a uniform, efficient and economi- cal speed, whether one light is in use, or all of them. These features have made Lalley- Light a success for nearly seven years. They are evidence of its high quality. They have done much tc teach farm- ers the superiority of electricity to all other forms of light—its lower cost, its greater safety and convenience.
