FARMEKS FOR THE LEAGUE.
A recent report indicates thai an
overwhelming majority of the
12,000,000 farmers of the coun
try favc-, not only the idea of a
League, but the League Covenant
as ii now stands. More than two
hundred agricultural organizations
national, State and local have
adopted resolutions favoring the
entrance of the United Stales into
a League. Ninety per cent, of
these resolutions were adopted
since the publication ol the Cove
nant. Copies were sent to Pres
ident Wilson and to the Senators
representing the States in which
these organizations are located.
The list includes most of the
leading national agricultural bodies
among them the American Agri
cultural Association, Farmers' Ed
ucational and Co-operative Union
of America, Farmers' Equity Un
ion, Farmers' National Council,
Farmers' National Reconstruction
Conference, National Board of
Farm Organizations, National
Reconstruction Conference, Na
tional Board of Farm Or
ganizations, National Federation
of Gleaners, National Grange, and
the Non-Partisan League. The
League Bulletin.

ASK YOUR BANKER
A successful business man never
hesitates to call on his banker for
advice.
His banker mighi hesitate to ad
vise the purchase of an automobile
because it is a source of expense;
but when you mention your haul
ing needs and the necessiiy for a
a truck, you at once enlist a bank
er's interest.
The earnings from a good truck
will soon pay the original cost of
ihe truck.
Your banker does not think of
truck buying as an expense. He
knows that it is an industrial econ
omy an asset in your business
which you will quickly recognize
in your Dank account.
1-very progressive bank in ihe
State is glad to lend money lo any
suDstantiai larnter or business man
to buy a truck.
Your banker will want to know.
however, what sort of a truck you
intend to buy, what record n has,
the kind of service behind it, and
the financial responsibility of the
manufacturer.
The splendid performance of In
diana Trucks running in all other
sections of the Stale is not equalled
by any other. It is built at Marion,
Ind , by the Indiana Truck Cor
poration, a concern which enjoys
the highest possible financial rating.
The State distributor is the Caro
lina Motor Co., of Staiesville.N.C,
a firm that is well known in truck
circles, and one not unknown to
your banker.
U'uli audi evidence ot responsi
bility behind it, the Indiana Farm
1 ruck is commanding very favora
ble attention among the farmers of
this county.
Every Indiana Farm Truck car
ries the Porta Power Units which
turns it into a portable power plant.
It makes use of every idle second
of the truck more than ever a real
investment.
