Service Company the past four years, 

 resigned July 20th to accept a similar 

 position with the Stephenson Service 

 Company at Freeport. 



The new manager for th« St. Clair

 Jackson and Williamson Counties since 

 the company was organized in 1932. 



Evidently Farm Bureau members be- 



I-eve t'-""; is the year to use SOYOIL 

 paint. Shipments at this season of the 

 year average about 1.000 gallons daily. 

 Illinois farmers who use genuine SOY- 

 OIL are doing their part to maintain a 

 market for Illinois gfrown soya-beans. 



Good lubricating oil costs less than 



repair bills. If you plan on taking a 

 trip after harvest, take a few cans of 

 PENN BOND motor oil along. Your lo- 

 cal service station or dealer can supply 

 you with PENN BOND in one and five 

 quart cans of the proper grade for sum- 

 mer use. 



Summer oil recommendations show 



the 1935 Chevrolet uses the lightest oil 

 in summer season of any new automo- 

 bile. The manufacturer recommends 

 SAE 20 for -hard driving. Chevrolets 

 built from 1930 to 1934 require SAE 30 

 for summer use. The Pontiac recom- 

 mendations call for SAE 30 for hard 

 driving, and SAE 20 for normal condi- 

 tions on all 1933. 1934, and 1935 models. 

 Earlier models require SAE 40 for sum- 

 mer use. The 1934 and 1935 Buick, Ter- 

 raplane, and all models of Chevrolet and 

 Hudson require SAE 30 for hard driv- 

 ing. Most all other makes including 

 Chrysler, DeSoto, Dodge, Hupmobile, 

 Nash, Oldsmobile, Ford, Packard, Plym- 

 outh, Reo, and Studebaker require SAE 

 40 for hard driving in hot summer 

 weather. Be kind to your motor and 

 give it the proper grade of Penn Bond.

Observations 



(Continued from page 9) 



political and economic writer in Amer- 

 ica, shine like a brilliant star. 



For says he in the Chicago News, "The 



argument in favor of a national solu- 

 tion of the problem of wheat, cotton, 

 corn and hogs, and cattle, and, it may 

 be, of a few other staples, has nothing 

 to do with one's opinion of the details 

 of the New Deal experiment. That ex- 

 periment may or may not be badly con- 

 ceived. Moreover, the argument in fa- 

 vor of a national solution should not be 

 . confused with the argument about NRA, 

 which would have carried federal regula- 



tion in the detailed affairs of local and 



unessential enterprises. 



***** 



^xfTlHE case for a national policy in 

 ** J|_ respect to the great agricultural 

 staples is as clear and unmistak- 

 able as the case for a national policy in 

 respect to transportation, tariffs, or the 

 conservation of natural resources. It 

 rests on the principle that the nation 

 cannot afford to permit the destruction 

 of the supply of essential foods and its 

 essential raw materials. That destruc- 

 tion would take place if the nation per- 

 mitted its agricultural producers to be 

 ruined by impossibly low prices. If such 

 prices continued for many years we 

 should find that instead of agricultural 

 surpluses we had agricultural deficits. 

 We should be taking the course which 

 England took to her great peril, nearly 

 a century ago. We should ruin first our 

 own agriculture and we should then find 

 ourselves dependent upon foreign im- 

 ports of food ^nd raw materials, and we 

 should industrialize the whole country, 

 concentrate its population in cities and 

 aggravate to an alarming degree every 

 social problem. . . . 



"The AAA has been described as a 

 system by which the consumers are 

 taxed in order to pay farmers not to 

 produce. That description is more witty 

 than it is accurate. The real purpose of 

 AAA — a purpose formulated in nonpar- 

 tisan discussion for 15 years — is not to 

 stop production but to preserve it and 

 maintain it. Production cannot and will 

 not be maintained by farmers who have 

 been ruined and driven from their farms, 

 or by grinding poverty have been re- 

 duced to servile peasantry. . . . 



"If the power to close our economy 

 through industrial tariffs, and to make 

 it rigid through big business and labor 

 unions exists under the constitution, then 

 the power to protect agriculture and give 

 it equal economic status must also exist." 

 ***** 



THUS does Mr. Lippmann most ably 

 and clearly present the case farm- 

 ers have been fighting for since the 

 post-war deflation. It is not to the 

 credit of the traders and processors who 

 seek to undermine the orderly method 

 of restoring farm buying power and, in 

 fact, industrial prosperity, represented 

 by the Crop Adjustment Act. For their 

 attacks on the AAA and the processing 

 tax put them in the position of accept- 

 ing government protection through the 

 tariff and such power to control output 

 and prices as their corporate organiza- 

 tion gives them, but denying the great 

 basic industry of agriculture equal pro- 

 tection. If such selfishness is allowed 

 to prevail there is danger ahead not 

 only for agriculture but for the nation 

 itself and our democratic system of gov- 

 ernment. — E. G. T.
