Bigcatalog. M. W.SAVAGE COMPANY Minneapolis, Minn. BY OLIVER S. MORRIS ON’T get so interested in the important notice on the front cover that you overlook Baer’s cover cartoon. A friend who saw the proof of the cartoon before publication asked what it was all about. We had to explain it to him. But this man wasn’t a farmer. We venture to say that farmers will get the idea Baer tried to bring out, and get it “right off the bat.” : * * * * * Speaking of cartoons, have you noticed the good work that Morris, as well as Baer, has been doing for the Leader—his cartoon on Page 3 of this issue, for instance? The war finance corporation thinks it is doing wonders by feed- ing the cow, but this doesn’t solve the problem. Look who is milking the animal! Another point, which Morris didn’t bring out—of course you can’t effectively get more than one idea in a cartoon—is that the war finance cor- poration’s loans are not DIRECT to the farmer. That wouldn’t do. It would give farmers credit too cheap. So the loaning is done through banks, and the banks take their usual rakeoff. Congress attended to that little matter. Ll S ] * * * "It has suddenly dawned on us that we have been living under false pre- tenses for several years. An old acquaintance was in the office the other day, a man who has known the editor as well as his own family, we thought. He congratulated the editor for drawing such fine cartoons, the Morris’ cartoons. When we told him that the editor was an entirely different person from the ‘cartoonist he wouldn’t believe it, and it will probably take this notice to convince him. We will send him a clipping in the hope he won’t confuse the editor and the cartoonist any longer. . : * * * * * This leads us to tell you who the cartoonist is. . He is W. C. Morris of Pos't a IBI'.I' f S leem / Morsemere, N. J.

Mention the Leader When Writing Advertisers T T e R S cartoon service that serves many of the biggest daily papers of the country, and his work appears in many magazines. He is no relative of the editor, but an old friend. He was cartoonist on a Spokane (Wash.) newspaper 10 years or more ago, when the editor was also in newspaper work in Spokane. ‘When the present editor took up his work in Fargo, N. D., in 1915, where the Leader was first published, a contract was made with W. C. Morris, and his work has been appearing in the Leader ever since. So if the editor has been getting credit for the cartoonist’s work, this ought to set it right. But do not blame us for the mistake. The editor’s name has always appeared in the paper plainly as OLIVER S. MORRIS, and the cartoonist’s just as plainly, as W. C. MORRIS. If there has been a misunderstanding it is your fault, not ours. * * * * ® Are you a Leader reader and booster who has not renewed his expiring subscription? If so, let us tell you the plain truth. You and the other thou- sands whose subscriptions are expiring must get busy AT ONCE if the Leader is to keep in the field. Whether you later rejoin the League or not, send your Leader subscription renewal to us NOW. Only $1.50 for a year, or. to save you the trouble of renewing again next year, $3 for two years. Read our sub- scription and book offer on the front cover of this issue. Frankly, the business depression has hit the Leader hard, financially. It has hit mest of you, too. We know that, but your $1.50 will keep us going, and that, after all, isn’t much mongey, even in a time like this. If you later rejoin the League you will be given full credit in your dues for subscription money sent the Leader. | * * * * * The Leader likes to print pictures of interesting things its readers have done or are doing. The pictures, to reproduce well, must be clear photographic prints, not necessarily pertaining to Nonpartisan league activities. On pages 5 and 6 of this issue we show a harvesting outfit maintained jointly by Leaguers in Idahe, and a new hog house of substantial and approved construction of which a Nebraska reader is deservedly proud. The only way we can get these pictures is through readers sending them to us. If you have an interesting picture, send it along. i g * M e * * We are still behind in printing answers to legal questions sent by readers to Mr. Day. But be patient.. If your question is not yet answered, it will ap- pear eventually without fail. ; * * * * * Again we publish the blank on which persons interested can learn of our liberal offer to circulation representatives. There is much good territory open ~—perhaps in your own locality. A few hours a week of your spare time is all, we need. If you can not help us, let some one in your neighborhood who can see the following blank, and have him or her fill it out and send it to us a once: WRITE PLAINLY Circulation Department, Nonpartisan Leader, Box 2072, Minneapolis, Minn.

Rats cost farmers over two hundred millions of dollars a year, through the destruction of grain, poultry and buildings. Farmers need no longer suffer this loss Lecause they can now kill off all the rats on their farm in less than a week’s time. This is pos- sible through the remarkable discov- ery of E. R. Alexander, a Kansas City chemist, who has perfected a virus which kills rats, mice and gophers as though by magic. This product is not a poison—it can be eaten by human beings or any animal on the farm as safely as their regular food, but means quick, sure death to rats. This wonderful rat virus, which is known as Alexander Rat-Killer, is merely mixed with bread or meat scraps and placed where rats, mice or gophers can get to it. - Within- a few hours after a rat has eaten Alexander Rat-Killer he fets a high fever and suffers a terrible thirst. He leaves the barns and nesting holes and goes to the open fields in search of pure air and running water. Rats and mice affected always die away from the barns and houses, so_there is no odor. It is a scientific fact that one rat affects others and soon the whole col- ony leaves the buildings and dies. And though this virus is absolutely deadly to rats—chickens, hogs, cattle or any farm animal can eat it and not be affected at all. So confident is Mr. Alexander that Alexander Rat-Killer will kill every rat on your farm in less than a week’s time that he offers to send, as an in- troductory offer, a regular $2.00 tube for only $1.00. GeiSE it according to directions, and if at the end of a week’s time you are able to discover any rats, mice or gophers on your farm, your money will be refunded. A big Kansas City bank guarantees that Mr. Alex- ander is reliable and will do as he says. Send NO MONEY. Just write to E. R. Alexander, Alexander Laboratories, 118 Gate- way Station, Kansas City, Mo., and the tube will be mailed at once. ‘When it arrives, pay the postman only one dollar and postage on the guarantee that if not absolutely satisfac- tory your money will be returned without ques- tion. Write today—a postcard will do—and stop your rat losses mow. OTTAWA " Taneeteutt mnt%h. reeq blade while motor runs. Saws. : CroSs-Clit Saws. 15 men'uith %?Eg. i7 -FOR SALE purchased he government.
