Adam McMullen for Congress
Senator McMullen represented Gage county in the lower legislative branch during 1905 and 1907 and was elected to the senate in 1917. His record is above reproach in politics and business and his aggressive one hundred percent Americanism and straight out Republican tam will commend him to voters. If he receives the Republican nomination his election is a foregone conclusion. He is eminently fitted for the position.

The high cost of farm machinery requires maximizing the life of existing implements. Coat bright parts with oil or grease before storage and repaint worn wooden parts to resist moisture. A well planned shed with shop space helps repairs, though any small unused space can store machinery by disassembly if needed.

Canning With Corn Syrup Suggests Substituting Sugar
The Home Economics Department of the University of Nebraska reports corn syrup can substitute for sugar in canning. White syrup is preferred. Pure corn syrup yields less sweetness but palatable results, with half syrup and half sugar giving better outcomes.
