ting large enough to bring in'tiiA late Theo. Hill twfintv-fiv

Running a Binder with an Engine
Henry Dirks has bought a two
horse oil cooled gas engine which
he is going to attach to his binder.
This will be quite an experiment
and will be watched with inter
est. The engine will be mounted
on a truck in the rear of the
binder. We understand it has
been tried at other places and
worked successfully, especially in
heavy grain and wet ground.
Johnson News.
All gasoline cans should be
painted red and the word "Gaso
line" painted thereon in large
letters. You are liable to a fine
if your gasoline can is not so
painted, or if you put coal oil in
a red can.
The Burlington paint gang was
here the latter part of last week
and the first of this and gave the
depot and outbuildings a good
coat of paint.
