The same determination to disregard all ordinary partisan interests which We showed then, we show still.

"We make the same appeal to the electorate that We did 12 months ago, that the nation needs non-party government and that purely party considerations would weaken our national influence in the world, would be a blow at the movements now at work toward world recovery."

THERE is nothing mysterious or necessarily high -priced about the cost of a funeral.

Actual records of the directors who conduct more than eight out of ten Minneapolis funerals show that prices range from less than $100 to more than $500. The price is a matter of your own choice. None of the funeral directors listed below make a practice of advertising their lowest cost funerals any more than their highest. They believe that everyone should feel fectlv free to come to any reliable, responsible director and select the kind of service wanted. They do not believe in offering inexpensive services as "bargains" nor in making mislead.

ing statements that such services are worth two or three times the price asked. Obviously, this is as untrue in funeral services as in any other purchase that is made. So that Minneapolis people may know, we print herewith a two year summary of "complete funerals" conducted by 26 reliable, well established funeral directors.
