- of Hallock, Minn., in which Mr. Hawk- yard stated that he had questioned me in regard to an article in the Leader stating that the American Farm Bu- reau federation had appointed repre- sentatives to meet with the represen- tatives of the manufacturers to ask congress to revise the income and ex- . cess . profits taxes and place the bur- den on the necessities of life. M. Hawkyard stated that I first tried to avoid the question and then stated the Leader article was untrue. ‘The facts are that when Mr. Hawk- yard asked permission to ask a ques- tion I stated I would attempt to an- swer the question if I were permitted time. When the question was asked there was, as I remember it, no refer- ence to the Leader. I stated that I knew nothing of any committee ap- pointed by the American Farm Bu- reau federation to act with big busi- ness in making tax revisions and fur- ther stated that the Farm Bureau, as.a farmers’ organization, did not stand for such a policy. I made no state- ment that the Leader article was un- true, because I had not read the Leader article at that time and knew nothing about it. When the Leader article was first called to my atten- tion, at a later date, I took the matter up first with the county office of the Farm Bureau federation and later with the national and state offices, in an effort to get an explanation of the report of Mr. Gregory listing the pro- posed new taxes on tea, coffee, sugar and the like. C. B. GOODRICH. Greenbush; Minn. In view of the fact that Mr. Good- rich disclaims any denial of the truth of the Leader article concerning the American Farm Bureau federation and the National Industrial Confer- ence board, the Leader desires to state that we have no idea of classing Mr. Goodrich with other organizers, who have been charged, in letters to the Leader, with denying the truth of our article.- We are glad Mr. Goodrich is investi- gating. We know that his investiga- tion will show him that ‘every word that we have stated in regard to the representatives of the American Farm Bureau federation and the National Industrial Conference board is the truth. We only hope he is able to get a more satisfactory “explanation” from President Howard than we have been able to get.

The twelve year performance record of the Rumely OilPull tractor stands out as a safe guide post to the tractor buyer. The first OilPull tractor, built over twelve years ago, is still on the job. And hundreds of other old OilPulls—still going strong—prove ' that unusually long life is the rule with the OilPull, not the exception. And the OilPull you buy today has the same basic features of design and in addition is greatly improved and refined through twelve years of field service and constant factory tests, That is why the OilPull is, as it always has been, cheapest in cost per year of service. The OilPull tractor has for years held all the world’s official tractor fuel economy records. It is the only tractor with which is given a written guarantee to aucceasfnlly burn kerosene at all loads and under all conditions. Economy of upkeep is as marked. Less than $200 has been expended on “Old Number One” for repairs during its twelve years of work. Truly, itis the part of wisdom to prefer a tractor with a record of per- formance such as this and in addition you have the assurance of such splendid features as 25% overload capacity, cooled with oil, double system ‘of lubrication, Hyatt Bearings, and Rumely service including a - factory trained expert for every ten tractors in use, scattered through- out the length and breadth of the land. There are four sizes—one to fit your farm—3 to 10 plow. Talk with , your Advance-Rumely dealer or write us direct. ADVANCE-RUMELY THRESHER COMPANY, s Inc, | Minneapolis, Minn, Aberdeen, 8. Dak.
