u
g~|T IS THE BEST PLOW MADE FOR SUM-
gSt mcr stubble breaking, and in fact has no equal for
general use. The points in which the Standard
excell all others is in the wide.range of the adjustment of
the discs, lightness in draft, simpjj^y and strength of con-
struction. t - ' , ’ -|g&* .. ~
The Standard is in a class by itself and must not be
compared with the ordinary disc plow. You will have to
run a Standard to apprecitae its merits.
You can plow with the Standard Disc when no other
plow will stick in the ground. You can get into your field
with it after a rain quicker than any plow made.
a— There are so many good points about the Standard
Disc that we would like to show attcfexplam to you, andlF
necessaay we will try one right in your own field.

Ca.Haway Opened Campaign.
Hon. Oscar Callaway of Co
manch* opened hie campaign for
congressman in a speech at Cle-
burne Saturday. He said he
favored government guarantee
of bank deposits, tariff reform,
currency reform, p law against l,boy.
allowing public officials to accept
employment from public service
corporations as “all *of a con-
gressman ’s time belongs to the
people;” he denounced govern-
ment by injunction; denounced
Mr. Gillespie’s vote on the Phil-
ippine tariff and Fowler curren
cy bills, and his shut-mouth
policy in regard to important is-
sues before the public. He
touched up Judge Presler for be-
ing at one time a paid lobbyist,
and said Presler’s public service
had amounted to very little or
nothing, though he had served in
the state senate for six years.
Callaway announced that he
was willing to meet both his op-
ponents on the stutfip.
His speech was well received,
and made a good impression.
