Every one of its few parts aid directly in making it easier for you and the horses to do better plowing. Because of its simplicity and great strength the Stag stays serviceable longer than any other plow of its type and requires fewer repairs. Freedom from unnecessary parts, perfect balance and the absence of drag on the furrow bottom make the Stag the light est running sulky plow. It does more work in the same time with less horse power, y The Stag has extreme clearance four Inches more than ordinary between beam and share point and six inches more than ordinary between front wheel rim and tnoldboard. It Is easy to operate the Stag a boy can do it. By means of the landing lever, the oporator can easily guide tho plow around stones or other obstructions, or hold the plow on side hills, main taining a full width cut. The Stag's advantages have all been fully demonstrated. It is a favorite in all great farming sections because of its real econ omy. We want you to investi gate these advantages.

Leypoldt emung LOCAL AGENTS North Platte, Nebraska NEVER PUT IN CIRCULATION Dean Swift's Notable Victory In Cam. palgn Against Unpopular Coin De signed fpr Ireland. Wood's halfpence, which was to have been placed for use In Ireland by Great Britain about 200 years ngo, was never circulated In I2rln, as a result of the efforts of Jonathan Swift, nt the time dean of St. Patrick's in Dub lin, where ho was in "exile," and who had for ten years previously been at tacking tho attitude of tho British toward Ireland. Swift's fight against the circulation of the coin came when Great Britain decided to farm out the contract for their manufacture to a certain WII llnm Wood, on condition that he should pay the government 1,000 pounds a year for 14 years. In his famous Drapler letters Swift gradual ly built up a picture of the ruin which Wood's halfpence wore destined to bring upon Ireland. The government beenmo alarmed. A report to the privy council made In July, 172-1, de fended the patent to Wood, but recom mended Hint tho amount to be coined should bo reduced. In the. end Lord Carteret was sent to Ireland as lord lieutenant to en deavor to settle tho matter on the basis of this compromise. Lord Car teret offered a reward of .'100 pounds for tho discovery of tho author of the Drapler letters, and ordered a prosecu tion ngnlnst the printer upon his ar rival. Swift boldly reproached him with his tyranny, then looked calmly on while the grand Jury threw out the bill against tho printer In spite of all the efforts of tho chief Justice to se cure Its return. Tho next grand Jury presented Wood's halfpence as a nui sance which mnrked tho end of It all. tho coin never circulating In Ireland. Memory In Writing. Most of tho too few painters I know talk easily enough, but when one of them Is talking to another 1 notice how often he hesitates, not for n word, but for a memory. Ills eye Is waiting until it sees with the needed degree of distinctness tho color or form of the thing he is talking about. So a writer will often stop, hesitate, hang back, until memory has brought his subject into tho field of vision, where ho will hold this subject until his remembering eye has seqn what ho was looking for concretely, and tho words ho was after como of them selves. They will not bo tho words that would have como If ho had not made this effort to remember. To tho good memory, tho memory that can command things won, henrd, felt or understood, comes tho phrase that nobody ever thought of before, In Its freih exactness. Philip Llttell. R. I.

During the early patt of an after noon I was sitting on tho veranda of a pretty little' cottage well situated In n town of central New Hampshire. Mrs. Dawson, my hostess, on com ing out, remarked: "Here are George nnd May mining;" and looking up I noticed a young couple. "What Is the special Interest?" f risked. "Well, if it isn't Just like mo to forget that you do not know them nnd probably have not hoard their story. In a town like this all news Is meat nnd drink to us, and I wIlMell you the story about George and May, If you care to listen. "Now," said she, "I mentioned thnt George and May were coming, ns It Is only lately that they have been seen together. This was not always so," Rhe continued. "Since their early ilnya they hnd lived side by side on farms about three miles out from tho vil lage, and ns a necessity for the com panionship of playmates they were more rather than less together. "Rack from the house about a mile or so there Is between the farms, equal ly divided as to ownership, a piece of woodland that was the playground of George and May until the time enmo when the village school and academy were unable to teach them more. "George, graduating first, was to leave for college; nnd while his on thuslnsm ran high In his preparation for new scenes, fear clutched at tho, heart of May that George, while he was away, might learn to care more for tho university city and its young people, and forget the home folk. "Two years of waiting and loneli ness, waiting for George, had passed. "One of May's favorite walks was down through the woodland to tho meadow where ran tho little brook that, an old Indian basket weaver had told her, was called by his people the 'Wishing' brook. lie told her the In dian legend, and he said that anyono who drank of the water and brenthed n wish at the same time, woufd have tho wish granted. "And here on this afternoon, tired from her exertions In the work of the morning, taking n book, she sought for tho last time, she said to herself, tho Wishing brook and Its charm. Finally reaching the bank, she stooped over the stream, and cupping her hands, brought the wnter to the level of her Hps and unconsclo'usly said aloud: 'Dear brook, let me have my wish. Send my love to Georgo, and let It bring him homo fo me safe.' "It was just as well for her peace of mind that she had not seen two ftno looklng young men who, when they saw her approaching, stepped behind trees where, watching her, they could remain unseen. "She was-conscious only of a dell clous sense of rest ; and ns she sat there It seemed strange that on the other side of the brook, which seemed wider than usual, there were several Indian tents that she hnd never no ticed before. And the young people and the children surely she know them, but only In an Indefinite way. It was strange, also, that none of them apparently noticed the brook perhaps tho children hnd been told to keep nwnyfromlt. Rut, see! Here comes nn Indlnn maiden. 'Certainly,' said May, 'I know her: perhaps she will ctfino and talk with mo.' The Indian mnld approached the brook ; dipping Into the water with a cup made of birch baric, she looked to tho heavens and cried aloud: 'Oh, Great Spirit of the Wish, send my love to my brave and bring him snfely back to nie.' "May was all ready to call out, when the mnlden and the tents slowly faded from view, and In their place wns the house of nn enrly settler. 'Well, thnt seems queer,' May thought, 'nnd Just ns I wns going ro spenk to her. Now I wonder who occupies thnt old-fash-ionel little house, and where they enmo from. I thought that I knew all the people (Jint live near here. I am sure thnt I do not know this girl who Is coming now, nlthough her clothes look like some thnt are in our attic at home.' This was going through her mind as nnother girl enmo toward her. "Sho, too, enmo on, nnd us May looked nl her she smiled n welcome. The girl wns thinking deeply, so deep ly thnt she never noticed May nnd her smile. Dipping n powter mug Into tho brook, she lifted It to her lips nnd cried aloud: 'Maker of tho Unlvcrso, send my love to my mnn nnd bring him hero to mo,' "May could Btand their Indlfferenco no longer. Even this lust girl, who now was accompanied nt tho brook side by tho Indian mnld nnd her brnve, together with the colonial mnld nnd her lover, also clad In tho gnrb of nn enrly settler, did not notlco her. "Only this Inst girl, the one who looked like hor, was alone, and sho must be mndo to spenk and tell who they nil wero and why sho nlono had hor wish unanswered. "As Mny culled out, sho henrd nn unrestrained Inugh, nnd opening her eyes sho lost sight of tho lovers, and there In their place stood Georgo Inugh lng nnd calling to her. "Tho brook hnd resumed Its normal size, nnd ns Mny stood up Georgo lcnped across tho brook, nnd ns In nn--swor to her wish, ho came near and clnsped her In his arms." George and May nro ugnln coming towards tho house, but this timo from tho opposite direction. Retwoen tholr coming nnd tliolr going, if Indications count for nnythng, theao two will bo tegf'irr for life. CO-M-MISSlONKlfS' PKOCKIHMNCS. March 29. 1920.
