By Mail One Year, Outside County, $5.00 One Year, in Independence, Aug. 30, 1920 An effort is being made by Missouri newspaper to start the old time factional row in the Republican party in Kansas again.

It is cropping out more plainly every day and by. November, if the present- rate is maintained, the factions will be as definitely outlined as they were in 1912 and 1914. In permitting Mayor Terence Macsweney to starve himself to death, England may be upholding the dignity of her laws, but she is sowing a wind that will be reaped in the whirlwind of Irish freedom. The whole world is fast swinging around to uphold the Irish cause and a few more Lloyd Georges in control of England's affairs will! hasten the day. Reports from Topeka indicate that one of the big fights in the Republican party council tomorrow will be whether the party endorses the three amendments.

The opponents of the endorsement say that they should not be dragged into politics. Those favoring endorsement say that if the amendments are wise, every party in the state should endorse them. Take your choice, but if this is the only big question before the party council why hold such a meeting at all? Dispatches from Topeka tell us that Iowa is planning to adopt an the lines of the But industrial court law "modeled, along a close reading of the proposed Iowa statute fails to show much similarity. Iowa has the good sense at the very outset not try to send men to jail if they quit their jobs. In the next place Iowa will recognize the fact that employers have certain rights to be considered just as well as the employes have.

It will 'establish court of equity--arbitration, in fact whereas Kansas now tries to enforce its decrees with jail sentences a feature discarded for such purposes in the march of civilization over 600 years ago when they quit sending men to jail for debts. In fact Iowa's lawl will make the Kansas law look like thirty cents.

"I tried many different medicines, but nothing seemed to reach my case until I started taking Tanlac, and the first bottle of 1 it did me more good than everything else I had taken put together.

June of gasoline increased 1,352,890 gallons daily, or per cent during the first four months of 1920, according to a statement issued today by the bureau mines. As against this increase in production, however, the domestic consumption of gasoline increased 9,148,920 gallons daily, or 83 per cent. -(From an article Chicago Tribune, June 50, 1980.) ately.

It also indicates how greats THIS epitomizes the situation accuris the task of the Standard Oil Company (Indiana). But fuel for automotive power must be supplied. Especially is this true in the territory served by the Standard Oil Company (Indiana), because in this area the bread-basket of the nation -so large a percentage of the gasoline is consumed in producing food. Take away- -even cripple -the automotive power on the Middle West farms and food prices will soar because of decreased production. The power-driven tractor is the only means by which the farmer can cope successfully with the shortage of man-power.

By extensive research and intensive application the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) has increased the yield of gasoline from crude to the greatest degree yet known. But it is not satisfied. The Company is striving to further increase the yield so that the use of the tractor, truck, the automobile, and the stationary gas engine may be used freely and without restriction. It is apparent that the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) by increasing the yield has exerted, also, a downward influence on the price of gasoline. Standard Oil Company (Indiana) 910 So.
