Get Thorough Cultivation
Without Hard Work
Do you still find that making a
cultivator do the right kind of work
is a tiresome, tedious job ?
Wouldn't you be interested in a
tltivator that puts thoroughness in
cultivation and takes the hard
vrk out?
That is just what the use of our
John Deere KC Cultivator assures,,
The "K C's" rigs, in shifting stay
parallel. Its shovels always face
squarely to their work. They never
track or trail on crooked rows. No
uncultivated spots nor no deep
trenches are left. Over all of the
field, on crooked rows, as well as on,
straight rows, the "K C gives thor
ough cultivation the kind that most
effectively destroys weeds and con
serves moisture.
The rigs shift quickly in response
to slight pressure on the foot levers.
Guiding the rigs is as natural as
walking.
You fan maintain thorough cultivation
without delaying work to make adjustments.
No wrench work is necessary. You don't
have to leave tho seat. Simply use the handy
levers. These levers enable you to meet
quickly and accurately every field condition.
We want you to get into the seat of thi3
cultivator and seo for yourself how handy
and 'reliable it is. Wc'va never seen its
equal in single-row cultivation for time
saving, labor-saving, weed-destroying work
in the field
Dcn't fail to come in early and get
acquainted with this cultivator.
You can get a "KC9 furnished with the famous John Dzere
Method equipment slip-point hoof shovels and sweeps.

Fashioned Woman on a Pessimis
tic Train of Thought.
The Woman Who Sees had Just
boucht n new veil and had hurried
into the dressing room of the shop to
adjust It, says the New York bun.
Crowds of women wero edging their
way to the mirrors to preen them
selves. Sho managed to squirm into a
space Just vucated by a gorgeous
creature In purple velvet. As she
glanced Into the mirror sue noticcu
two vonnirHters stimdlnc bcfUdc her.
They were both sweet-loolclng little
thing's. "Not a day over fourteen,"
sho murmured to herself, nnd tnen
stared with wonder. The elder of tho
two pulled out a tiny vanity case nnd
proceeded to powder the tip of her
pert little nose. She next arnfnged a
curl over her shoulder to its very best
ndvnntnge, while her companion stood
bnck admiringly. Then sho preened
her eyebrow with the tips of her
fingers nnd smiled complacently. Sho
was pretty and she knew It.
"Are you going to tho frat meeting
Monday evening, Dot?" queried her
companion. Dot rnised un eyebrow
and drawled nonchulnntly, "Perhaps,
denrie; it depends entirely on tho
mood I'm in." That was the straw
that broke the camel's back. The
woman gave a convulsive gusp and lit
erally bolted. Moods I Sho was
amused and yet It was pitiful. Sho
Is not nn advocate of corporal punish
ment, but sho would havo enjoyed
spanking those youngsters, What
kind of women will they make? Tho
woman is puzzled.
