CLEVELAND, May 7.—Unqual-
ified opposition to the McNary-
Haugen bill proposing establish-
ment of a government export cor-
poration for farm products was ex-
pressed today in the convention off
the Chamber of Commerce of the
United States by Dr. W. M. Jar-
dine, president of Kansas Agricul-
tural College. 1,
The aim of the legislation, he
said, to maintain parity between
prices of agricultural products and
the general price level for the put-
put of industry would be defeated
in the operation of the plan by a
tendency to pyramid prices of
manufacturers.--
"The plan would stimulate pro- ,
duction where the crying need of
agriculture is less production,’' he
said.

HAVE A DORT Six Demonstration
Step in—three inviting doors, wide and easy to enter; no
crawling over or around chairs.
Sit down—wide, deep cushions, comfortable as a parlor car.
Lean back—plenty of room in this car for five full grown
people. And real leg room, too—stretch out.
Let’s go—the smooth power surge of a six-cylinder motor,
oil cushioned; the quiet, solid, luxury of a rugged chassis
and a distinguished body.
There is comfort and beauty and satisfaction here. Because
this is a real automobile, this Dort Six.
