Grub-Staking Society MORE power is required to plow the fields of America than is used in all its factories. In view of the decrease of man-power on the farms, the importance of motor-power is demonstrated easily. With hand-labbr the time required to produce a busl/el of wheat was a littjfe over three hours. With improved machinery this has been reduced to ten minutes. Power machinery has multiplied the power of man eighteen times. The gasoline er ;■ ir.e is the only power unit embracing all requirements for farm work. It looks as though it is up to gasoline to grubstake society. For years hand-labor has been leaving the fa rms -and motor-power has been taking its piace. Long ago the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) realized that if America was to maintain its bounteous crop production there must be close cooperation between the Company and the farmer; therefore, the Company proceeded to buiid up through the farm districts of the Middle West the most complete system of distribution of oil products in the world. This delivery system with its 3,780 bulk stations, its 7,000 motor trucks and tank wagons, its 1,300 Service Stations, and its personnel of 10,000 trained men, could not be built up in a month or in a year. It is the result of long and patient effort. This immense system for the production and distribution of gasoline and other petroleum products is complete, installed and in full operation now, when it is needed as never before.

Editorially the New York World, the largest newspaper in America lias the following to say of Senator Harding, referring to him as a "puppet candidate:" “A more respectable, figurehead than Warren G. Warding inis neve" been nominated for president of the United States by either party. Nor has either party, sintji the democratic national convention of 1856, named Janies Buchanan, selected u candidate so little qualified to grapple with the nation’s problems. Senator Harding is the perfect flower of old guard politics. He is an Ohio country politician with the mind of an Ohio country politician, and he sees the world through the eyes of an Ohio country politician. Being weak and colorless and mediocre, he appealed powerfully to the managing politicians who control the republican organization, most oi whom are senators themselves. They know Handing, and they know' that he will be a faithful agent of the organization. They have worked with him, and they can prove that he never had an original idea or entertained a thought that was outside j the routine of a well-trained and wellj * disciplined party servant The republican platform adopted at Chicago is perhaps the best index to the Harding mind. Whoever is curious to know the mental processes of im; republican candidate has only to read that platform. Those are the very terms and phrases in which Senator Harding thinks and in which he expresses himself. The senator’s.friends are fond of comparing him with .McKinley, but tjie resemblance is mainly superficial Both came out, of Ohio, but if 4ai'i|fng is a McKinley he is. a McKinley without McKinley’s 'personal charm, a McKinley without McKinley’s ex- , traordinary skill in mauaging men, a , McKinley without MeKJniey's wide

experience in public affairs. The republican candidate lias been a member of the United States sen- j ate for more than five years, but his name is not identified with any important act of legislation or with any public service of consequgr.ee. He bus voted us Penrose and Dodge a ould have him vote, and he has never displayed anything that could be regarded as independence or courage. His conscience and his convictions are simply the routino conscience and convictions ol’ a profostonal Ohio politician.” Alssandro Voilu, the Italian professor, the memory of whose electrical discoveries is perpetuated in the term "\.lt," will have unveiled to Ills memory a monument at Home in 1927, abe hundredth anniversary of his
