ADVERTISEMENTS Gas Power For Threshing When youwantpowerfor threshing you very likely turn to a gas tractor. Most people have an idea that it is ample and easily handled. - _There are many gas tractors that will drive a thresher after a fashion, but do not have enough power to drue it to full capacity, A thresher needs ample steady power, If its speed drors own, poor separation follows, PBad cleaning results or the wind stacker may clog. You need not .only a powerful gas tractor but one with a heavy, slow run- ning fly wheel. Such a fly wheel with . reserve power will be found in the Nichols-Shepard 0il-Gas Tractor It hastwo large cylinders and carries a_ reserve of Eower that it makes it ideal for thres! Itis built fora thresbing power plart —not a light tillage tractor, though it ves the best of results for plowing and heavy farm work, It will drive a thresher, strong and steadily, like a stecam enmae. and fcr threshing and hcavy farm work it has no equal.

At Bucklin, drove horses sands, of farm families who have lost their all in the Southwest through two or three seasons of drouth, and because of the profitering in feed, are soon to pack up a few household belongings in- a single wagon and take the road, for better or for worse, in search of work. This is the gist of reports coming to Capper’s Weekly from several states. Besides the privations these families are enduring, it means their places will be taken by other settlers { who do not know so well how to farm these parts of the country, and that means an economic loss to the South- west. The suffering and hardship that is being endured at this moment in the big drouth area in the Southwest, is unknown to the outside world. Yet matters such as these are or should be the concern of a federal department ofbagmculture that is alive and on the Jo Our national department of agricul- ture must know of these conditions through its numerous agencies, but neither it nor congress has'taken steps to forestall this calamity. OPINIONS OF RESIDENTS = Writing from Roaring Springs, Texas, M. D. Nixon says: There are a great many fam- ilies in our. vicinity who are in ac- tual want, and I am sure it is the same in other places. The last two years have been strenuous for them, and the war has doubled their burdens. When 'planting time comes, many will be on the road 'with their entire worldly ‘Possessjons in a wagen, trying to find work. - Many are losing their places, and many more have not the secd to plant another crop nor «money to buy it. Others have no feed, and here we can not buy groceries on credit nor borrow money from the bank. "Some have sold- their -livestock at a sacrifice « bccause there was no feed to keep them. Unless the farmers in stricken sections are given as- sistance many fields will lie 1dle the coming year. E. B. Carpenter writes from Havi- land, Kan.: The outlook . in southwestern Kansas is critical regarding the care of livestock until grass next spring. ~ Farmers are without money to pay the high price for TO MEMBERS OF. THE NON- PARTISAN LEAGUE Do you want a complete and au’horitative statement of the new industrial laws passed by thz North Dako‘a legislature?* If so send 4 cents-for postage to the Industrial Commission, Bis- marck, N. D., and ask for a copy of “The New Day in North Da- kota.” This is an official book, issued by the state of North Dakota, giving the text of all the industrial laws passed by the legislature. This is not what somebody says the law is—it is the law itself. With this book - a League member can nail the : lics of th» anti-farmer gang. = Pull the book out of your pocket and show what the facts are. Order at once if you want it— - the supply is limitcd. It will be the best 4-cent invest- ment you ever made. : -+ dairy farms." “United States department of agricul- and mules have been brought in to sell so poor they had to be tailed- up, and many animals further west are too poor .to travel. One cattleman has lost 1,200 head of cattle. It is a common statement that before grass three-fourths of the cattlemen will be broke. Farm- - ers who were forced to mortgage their farms last year can’t pay interest. The Federal Farm Loan bank is serving notice on these in arrears that if interest is not paid, it will be compelled to begin fore- closure proceedings, If the facts were known, legislation or emer- gency relief surely would be given, especially in extending the inter- est payments of loans. Wheat prospects are better at this time than ever known. I feel for these stricken farmers and stockmen, If they can be tided over until - after harvest 1919, I see a bright future for this section, otherwise a chance for wholesale loss to all classes out here. C. E. Bedrang writes from Monu- ment, Kan.: Just a word from the short grass country. Profiteering on every hand is putting the farmers in the hole. Mill feed is out of the question. Prices of cream' and eggs are coming down, th~ only products we have to sell, and all other articles are maijntaining a high level. We who have lent the government money must now bor- row money to lose money fceding our stock, because we take the other fellow’s price -both - selling and buying. THEY ARE INTERESTED Vernon, Col. Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I admired Mrs. Dean’s letter of November 11 and wish to add my bit- to the suffrage discussion. To be sure women should have the "'pnvflege 4of vot- ing dnd should be urged to vote. Down in Nebras- ka I said to two young matrons EVERY LAW AFFECTS HOME ANO their arms: “You Nebraska -women have no vote ?” One said, “I have mever cared to vote,” and the other, “Neither have 1.” “But surely you consider yourselves intelligent enough?” “Oh ves, but we let the men do the “Are you not as interested in your: homes and your children as your men are?
