Cummins, new na-j tional chairman for the democratic < party of Indiana, was the guest of Indiana party leaders yesterday and made the principal address ala banquet given last evening. He urg 1 immediate organisation in every county and district of the state, plead for the united, support of the president, predicted victory for next year ' and made a most, excellent impres-! the Hoosier state. Mr. Cummins is a* great lawyer, an organizer who • knows how and does it, a man whom ■ every state, district and comity cliah-1 man will be glad to follow and he will I lead the party of Jefferson and Jacksen to a great victory next year cording to every indication at this time. —- Homer S. Cummins, democratic na-j tional chairman in concluding his ad-I di ess at Indianapolis last evening! said: “The statesmanship of America, as well as the statesmanship of; the entire world, Is upon trial. America should make her Inward unity of Hirpose manifest to all the world. The present time is as perilous as any period of the war. The heavy res]x>nsibilities resting upon the president are more easily borne by one who is conscious of sympathetic support at home. Ixt us have less captious criticism and more lusty Aim ricanism. The president is heading * every energy to realize the dearest hope ever cherished by humanity. The best thought of the world is in accord with his purpose. The ghastly tragedy which has overwhelmed the Seulv of men, the unspeakable horror which for four long years has uU4 crated the face of God's fair field, must Ire banished forever. All who love America and peace and liberty should take a solemn pride in supporting the president in his effort to secure a treaty of peace based upon a stabilizing league, so that war may not recur and the standards of justice may be applied to all nations alike. ’ Mr. Coleman of Purdue, state leader of the county agents, is urging a united effort by the farmers to make the Victory Lean a success. To no class of people does this lean mean trore. With the outl< ; k for the greatest crop in all time it is indeed important that nothing interfere with the present pros perow? condition of I

I the country. Il is fust the puiiioUe 'duty of ever;’ man to Blipport his government and it is second good, sound business sense to make this loan the me. t successful of all them and that's what we are hoping to do. The war is not over. We are working under an armistice. We must finish the job and we must do it in a clean cut and decisive way if we are to con tinue the splendid conditions uow and make the coming years most wonderjful The democrats prefer not to make the League of Nations a campaign is- ! rue but if they are forced Into it by | such men as Senators New and WatIson and Lodge, so let it be. The peo pie of this country and of the world twill favor any contract between the 1 great countries, designed to put an ' end to such horrors as we have had to : contend with during the past few > years. Every V ictory bond you put away is jihat much salted for the rainy day. . The money will come back to you , within a very short time with a premium and in the meantime you , can clip the coupons and enjoy a good I return upon the very best investment lin the world. It doesn't require much i r nan< i> skill to see that those who i dispose of their bends at a loss are. I simply throwing away good money, i there is no upkeep on a bond and they are bound to become more valuable as time passes. Hang on to what you have and buy more.

THEY SAID TO US“We took 500 Kelley-Springfield Tires, and put them on cars to weigh 5,200 pounds. We sent those cars out in mid-winter to travel day and night over frozen roads. As thousands after thousands of miles rolled up, the drivers reported back, anxious to quit. We repeated our orders: ‘Go on till your tires give out-’ They said, ‘They won’t give out We can’t wear them out.’ But they did finally. It took 11,725 miles for the rear wheels, 14,000 for the front wheels, a general average of more than 12,000 miles. It wore out the drivers, wore out the cars and nearly wore out the roads. That’s why we know that KellySpringfield Cords are the greatest improvement since pneumatic tires were invented.” Let us show you our complete line of tires. Two treads—grooved and non-skid.

A Message About Advertising FROM THE U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR If you are not advertising, then advertise because it saves money for you and it reduces the price to the consumer. Advertising prevents profiteering. It insures honest profit and makes them permanent. The message of the U. S. Department of Labor to merchants and manufacturers and to ail progressive American business men is to advertise. Tell the public about YOUR goods. The consumer has plenty of money. He is willing to spend it and we want him to spend it on American-made products. The easiest, quickest, and most economical way in which this can be accomplished is by advertising. Start your campaign right now. U. S. DEPARTMENT OF LABOR W. & WILSON, Secretary ROGER W. BABSON, BirecUr General, Information and Service
