The Ladies Aid was to prepare and serve the meal, and the party leaders and prominent citizens and the Governor were to eat it. Well, the prominent citizens and party leaders had some tickets printed and set out to sell them for a dollar apiece to the party faithful and other prominent citizens who would be willing to pay a dollar for a Ladies Aid dinner and the chance to say theyd eaten with the Governor. Mrs. Rockford, the bankers wife, was chairmap of the ticket sales. And the Saturday before the banquet she was out in the back yard, wearing an old coat of George Rockford's and a pair of cotton flannel gloves, beating the dining room rug hanging on Jhe line. She was getting some done, because she Governor the accept her invimight hoped tation to come to her house before the banquet and freshen up a bit, if he got into town in (Time. The Rockford house had a bathroom, and Mrs. Rockford was mighty proud of it. Well, there she was, looking like a scarecrow with a red bandana tied over her head to keep the dust out of her hair, spitting on the flannel gloves and going after that rug with' the rug beater, when Pete, Uncle Freds hired man, came chugging up to the Rockford yard in his Model-- T roadster. e Pete yanked the and the wheels turned backward and threw up a cloud of dust and the motor sputtered and died and Pete jumped out. Pete said, Afternoon, Miz Rockford, where and hed got a front showing grinning tooth broken off the Saturday night a week before when hed got corned up at a barn 1 guess Ill take dance and picked a fight. line of them meal tickets.

That there Ladies Aid dinner, Pete said; If they keep bringing it to me, I reckon I can eat a dollars worth of them ladies cookin. Well, the reason Mrs. Rockford had got herself appointed chairman of the ticket sales was so she could sort of hand pick the guest list at the dinner, as she said, and undesirsee to it that there werent any able people attended. She hemmed and hawed, and Pete just stood there, grinning around and through his broken tooth, holding out the dollar. This is a sort of political dinner, Pete, There'll be a lot of speeches and she said. things; Are you sure you want to come? Therell be a lot of eatin too, wont After a big meal, theyi? Pete countered. Id aS leave and a bit ruther jist sit any- way. If someone wants to talk, maybe Ill learn something while Im sittin.

Additional equipment, yards, and other facilities required to take care of these short trains would cost hundreds of millions. What the Union leaders really want is to make more jobs.

Railroad workers are good citizens and good employes, with pride in their calling. Their record during the war was outstanding. We do not believe they fully understand the featherbed rules which the Union leaders are demanding. We do not believe they understand the harmful results which these rules would have to the railroad industry, to the millions of men and women dependent on railroads for their livelihood, and to the shipping and consuming public.

The Governor looked across the table, caught Petes eye and inquired, And whats your profession, young man? Farmin, Pete told him. Pete had finished eating and was ready to talk. Thats mine, too, said the Governor. ' And would you believe it, Pete and the Governor just seemed to hit it off. The Gdvernor and Pete had had a lot of the same experiences. Theyd both played football in high school, and the Governor Ford and the same had had a Model-- T troubles Pete had. They laughed and talked together until it came time for the Governor to make his speech, and when the Governor finished and the clapping died down Pete said, You got some good ideas there, but Ill tell you where youre wrong, and he proceeded to tell him, and the Governor listened and agreed with him. Everybody in the hall noticed how Pete off. and the Governor were hitting it Some whispered to each other that it was terrible, and somebody ought to think of some Way of getting Pete out of there, but most of them began to wonder if maybe Pete wasnt brighter than everyone had given him credit for. When the program was over and the meeting adjourned, Pete crawled under the table to walk over to the door with the Governor and finish what he was saying, and the Governor shook his hand and told him to be sure and drop in and see him next time he was in the State Capitol.
