T ) A s - in-the ultimate-restis 5 campaign to mtpu-e “labor” with the same. spirit of patriotism as now in- | - spires him and his associates.” To this we wish to answer Mr. Powell that we have no desire to be “inspired” with Big Biz hog-it-all patriotism. Yours for true-blue patriotism, - z 0. E. HAGLUND. Here is the clipping referred to by Mr. Haglund: Mr. J. W. Powell, vice president of the South Bethlehem’ Shipbuilding company, limited, testified before the senate committee on the extensive contracts in steel construction his company has with the navy as well as with the Emergency Fleet corpora- tion. He. thought a model contract one under which he could build a ship estimated to cost $1,500,000 for a fixed profit of $135,000 with a right to half the savings, if anything can be saved below the estimated total cost. The other half of the possible savings is for the government. The government is to bear the whole loss if the cost exceeded the estimate, be- cause it is not really in the nature of " business to sell for less than two mil- lions a ship costing a million and a half. This was his opinion. He thought contracts of this nature evidence of patriotism. As he expldined this basis of pa- triotism, Mr. Powell said that winning the war now depends on the patriot- ism of “labor.” He thinks that if President ‘Wilson, the women of the country, the picture shows and all similar agencies are set to work to- gether in a nation-wide campaign “labor” can be inspired with the same spirit of patriotism which now in- - spires him and his associates. STUDY THE ISSUES EARLY Nelson, Minn. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: The political issues for the coming campaign are beginning to take shape under the direction of the different leaders and politicians, and it is cer- tainly necessary that the issues should be carefully considered in all their details early. : The coming election is going to be an interesting -one and the Nonparti- san league: will of .co recognized.: ] the Nonpartisan league are chiefly valuable for uniting the people for the purpose of electing men to office who are known to’be honest and willing to help enact and enforce laws that will protect the rights of people in general. It is difficult to see how there can be any opposition to an organization founded on ‘such principles. The League 'is growing by leaps and bounds in Minnesota, and Douglas county is holding its own with the , Test of the state. AUGUST ANDERSON. LAWYERS FIGHT FARMERS I want to call your attention to a clipping from _the Odebolt (Iowa) News, especially Editor Phillips’ favorable comment. on the League. Perhaps it would be a good idea to place the.News on the Leader ex- change list. The Odebolt News is owned by a group of farmers and business men. The other paper of the town is jumping onto the League. It | is controlled by W. P. Adams, one of the Adams Express multimillionaires. The News and Phillips are for every progressive movement. S ; - Here at Marshall the Ig business men are exertin T'S the way a Kansas farmer who. bought one the other day, put it. And he hit the nail right on the head. Just consider this—in the 14-28 you’re getting more than just a small, [light weight, easily handled tractor. You're getting all that plus the well known Rumely OilPull dependability and long life—guaranteed ability to burn low grade fuel oils_a¢ all Joads, under all conditions—automatic speed control—oil cooling. You'’re getting a real OilPull. Nor have strength or power been sacrificed in making the 14-28 a light weight tractor. It’s a big power outfit—capable of handling up to 5 bottoms in plowing, and to run a 24 to 28 ‘inch thresher with all attachments. And you'll find the 14-28 extremely easy to handle. The platform is just a step from the ground—=all operating levers are within easy reach and all working parts easy of access. It has an automobile steering device. It is short turning, An air starter is part of the regular equipment. Then there’s the patented shifting device that makes the 14-28 equally efficient on drawbar or belt, with no sacrifice in construction. The 14-28 catalog explains it fully—we’ll just say here that it is one of the greatest improvements that has been made in tractor construction. Get These Special Catalogs A new OilPull catalog is just out. Besides covering every detail of the new 14-28, it describes the medium and large size OilPulls, the 18-35 and 30-60 h. p. Also you'll want the catalog of the new small Idecl thresher—the 20x36 Junior ~—made especially to be run by a small size tractor. Just ask ©ur nearest branch. 2 ADVANCE-RUMELY THRESHER CO.

Fargo, North Dak, Minneapol i ADVANCE~RU For your protection—a written guarantee A tractor’s ability to burn kerosene or other oil fuels can’t be established by claims or “near” guarantees. You are en- titled to know what kind of an oil burning outfit you are buy- ing, and the only way to protect yourself is to demand a written guarantee such as goes with every OilPull. Remember this. A tractor either burns oil economically —at all loads—under all conditions that a tractor must run up against—or it doesn’t, Don’t be misled by word of mouth claims or guarantees that “talk but say nothing.” Demand what you are entitled to —a fair and square written guarantee. 14-28 H.
