PRESIDENT Threader Press Go., U5 UTiawa St., Leavenworth, Kansas | How Firestone Is Able to Produce the Finest Lami- nated Inner Tube and Still Hold to a Moderate Price - NOTICE TO READERS The Leader again has been experiencing trouble in seciring prompt delivery of print paper. Not only is print paper scarcer than ever before in recent years (and four times the normal price) but the present car shorb- age makes it impossible to get prompt deliveries of paper that has been purchased. For these reasons it has again been neces- sary to consolidate two issues of the Leader, this issue taking the place of those of May 24 and May 31, under the latter date. We now have sufficient print paper promised to see us through the summer, if delivery can be secured. We ask the indulgence and patience of our readers dur- ing this emergency, which we hope to see ended soon. 1 {1\ i “‘\\ ~ _ Qinnny ..... coreaadqit!

Sixty-five' branches and 46,000 deale Tubes assure & PAGE TWO I T T T A fo rs throughout the United States selling Firestone a fast-moving prod- uct, which means fresh stock at all times—most miles per dollar in tubes as well as tires, Tires FAMOUS SAYINGS (As some politicians would rewrite . them.) “Open saloons, openly arrived ‘at.” —Governor Edwards of New Jersey. “No taxation of Pullman cars with- - out consent of the taxed.”—Governor Lowden of Illinois. “Millions for the army, but not one cent for soldiers’ bonus.”—Leaders in congress. “The freedom of speech or of the press shall not be abridged, except by the attorney general.”—A, Mitchell Palmer. 4 “We have met the munition makers and they are ours.”—General Wood. “Don’t fire till you can see the size gf their pocketbooks.”—Senator New- erry. “We stand for the free and unlimit- ed production of hot air.”—All of them. . * * * Judge: “‘Was the prisoner sober?” Witness: "“No, he was as drunk as ‘a judge.” Judge: lord.” Witness: “Yes, my lord.” * * * “You mean as drunk as a 1920 Sing a song of breweries, Malt and hops and yeast, Four and twenty bottles Ready for the feast; 3 When the case was emptied No one felt a “kick”— Nothing there but near-beer— Don’t that make you sick? * % x All the talk of various organizations on how to “beat the Nonpartisan league” reminds one of the fable of the mice who decided to bell the cat. & * * Wouldn’t be a bad idea now if some of these fellows who have taken to wearing overalls should go to work. *® * * MOTOR GOOSE Old Mother Hubbard went to the cup- board For her gasoline tank had a thirst, But the cupboard was bare, no money was there, For old Hubba:d had got to it first. *® * About the ~only thing that’s gone down since Palmer entered his drive on the high cost of liv- ing are Liberty bonds. PLANKS HEN you buy ,a pound of sugar with your savings from the bank, the grocer eyes you closely and he hints you’d better PLANK. When you buy a bit of lumber to repair your silage tank, you've got to have the money before you get a PLANK. And when candidates’ machines are taken by their cranks, the politicians talk about what they will do for PLANKS. The glorious | old colors are hauled around in hanks to furnish up the platform and decorate the PLANKS. The Bolsheviks and furriners come in for sev’ral spanks, for “reds” are always good, you know, for half a dozen PLANKS. - They praise the boys who went across, the brave, the valiant Yanks, they like these men because they’re worth another couple PLANKS. And when elec- tion time is past, they all depart with thanks, and after that the voter is the only one who PLANKS. —C. W. V.
