Landon, Mr. Cummings CHICAGO.--The attempt of the Roosevelt administration to frighten small store keepers from showing cards calling attention to the amount of invisible tax items concealed in the cost of nearly everything the average family needs is an indication that the question of taxation and waste is of paramount importance in this campaign. This statement was made by Chairman John Hamilton ol the Republican National committee, who asked Attorney General Cummings what he intended to do to Gov. Landon because he said in his Buffalo speech: " "We cannot buy a stitch of clothing without the government's taking in taxes a part of the mpney we pay out. We cannot buy an ounce of food at our grocery stores without being taxed to support the government. We cannot go to a movie, or to a baseball game, or ride in an automobile without this invisible tax arm of the government reaching out and taking a part of the money we spend. "These hidden taxes -- federal, state and local--amount to about 20 cents put of every dollar we spend. In the case, of the Federal Government atone they amount to more than $5 a month for every family." YOUR SAVINGS THEY ARE- AS GOOD AS THE DOLIA* BACK OF THfcH.

Mrs. Arthur Harris of McHenry and Why a Battleship May Be Called "Dreadnaiight" In 1907 the British navy launched a vessel of radically different and most formidable character. It was the first warship which had a main armament consisting of big guns all of the same caliber. These were 10 12-inch guns, which were supplemented by 24 12-pounders. The vessel, which embodied other new features, was named the Dreadnaught. It revolutionized naval building practice, and all ships of its type came to be called dreadnaughts. Later vessels embodying the same principles, but with heavier armament and increased tonnage, became "superdreadnaughts." t Since the World war. though, there has arisen a new distinction between fighting ships. The Battle of Jutland demonstrated certain weaknesses in construction, and builders have tried to avoid them in vessels laid down since. The newer ships are therefore often called " post-Jutland" types, as opposed to "pre-Jutland." were dinner and supper guests at the home of Mr., and Mrs. Axel Nerstrom Billie, and Mr. and Mrs. Wm.

In many of their elections the Greeks had an urn to represent each candidate. The voter would toss a white pebble into the urn if he favored the candidate, and a black one if he wished to vote against him. Many lodges and fraternal organizations have revived this system, a white ball being in favor of a candidate for membership and a black one for rejection. In some organizations a single black ball is sufficient to defeat the candidate; in other words, the person can not become a member of the organization without the approval of the entire membership. Thus we have the phrase "to blackball," meaning to reject. Our word "ballot" is derived from the French "ballotte," meaning little ball. Exceeds first 122 Tears In the first three years of tHe Roosevelt administration the government spent more money than was spent during the first 122 years of bur existence as a nation, and during those 122 years we fought four wars, including the One between the states.

The farm of M. H. Sanford, owner of the winner, in New; Jersey, was called Preakness, and' the horse was named after his home. The Preakness stake was first run at Pimlico in 1873, and was won by John F. Chamberlin's Survivor. Why Colder Weather I* Coming A meteorologist, H. H. Clayton of Massachusetts, believes the sunspots which are now increasing in their 11-year cycle will bring colder weather. This prediction is made, on the basis of studies of previous effects of sun-spots.
