Dependable Through
Thick and Thin
Above everything else
you want dependability built
into the grain binder you buy.
You want your binder to go in
to your grain fields, no matter
what the conditions may be,
and cut the grain with the least
possible loss of time and grain.
We are selling the John Deere
Grain Binder because we know it
will give you that dependable binder
service which makes it a profitable
investment.
From the bottom up it's a
better-built grain binder. Bigger
and stronger roller-bearing wheels;
heavier one-piece main frame widely
lapped and hot-riveted together;
strong rigid platform; three packers
instead of two, assuring better
bundles in all kinds of grain these
are just a few of the features that
make it the better binder.
Come and see this binder. You can't make a better
binder investment.

Another feature you will
appreciate on this binder is the
easily-operated bundle carrier.
No effort to hold it in receiving
position or to dump it. Because
the teeth rise out of the stubble
the instant you start to return the
carrier, it's exceptionally easy to
bring it back to receiving position.
And it's no trick to keep this carrier
always in easy-working order simple
adjustments are provided to accom
plish this.
The Quick Turn Tongue
Truck adds much to the effective
work of the John Deere. The wheels
turn faster than the pole, making
clean, square corners possible. Be
cause the truck axle is flexibly
mounted, both wheels hold to the
ground no matter how rough the
field may be. This keeps the binder
running straight, and takes off the
side draft from the horses.

AN OBLIGING 8
NEIGHBOR jj
By RALPH HAMILTON h ;
A
SOSXOGCGOCCCCOOOCCCOQC ,
(Copyright, 1920, Western Ncwiipnticr Union.)
"A ninn and his wife. .Mr. nnd Airs, j
Warren, two small children and a ,
young Indy about nineteen. MIrs
IMItlin Morse, I believe Is her name."
Thus Mis. Bnrth from the next block,
Kenernl gossip of tho neighborhood.
She hud come purposely to the home
of Mrs. Alma Ilainpdeu to start her
rounds discussing the new people who
had moved Into the house lmmedlafely
udjoinlng that of the latter lady.
Mrs. Bnrth proceeded to dlscusn the
Warrens. The man dressed shabbily
and Mid pot look very ambitious, his
wlfo ilmvilvv Tim tivn nlillilp.m fimi !
ever, were neat nnd well behaved,
and
"They seem to look to their aunt
for direction and training," rnmbled
on Mrs. Bnrth, "and I must say she
is a very superior-looking girl.
"I hope they are companlonnble,"
remnrked Mrs. Hampden. "It has been
very lonesome living here since my
husband died."
After her visitor depnrted Mrs.
Hampden could not resist the tempts
tlon to seat herself near the window
nnd take In the prospect of the new
people. The head of the househok
was a tired-looking, shiftless-acting In
dividual nnd cnrrlcd things into the
house ns If work was n stranger to
him. Ills wife mostly ordered. The
two little children wandered nbout the
yard with frequent looks In the direc
tion of their aunt, ns If they missed
her company. Tho Intter at once at
tracted Mrs. Hampden's nttentlon.
"Tall, graceful, rather haughty In
her bearing or Is It a sort of self
consciousness?" meditated Mrs. Hamp
den. Miss Kdlthn Morse had put on nn
old pair of gloves ml a covering apron
nnd was doing most of the work in
moving things Into the house. Only
light articles had been left on the
porch and Inwn by the movers, but It
took her nn hour to get them under
cover while her brother-In-lnw made n
feint nt assisting her by spells.
It was just at dusk when there wns
a rap nt the kitchen door and going
thither Mrs. Hampden wns confronted
by the lady from next door.
"You'll excuse me. I know you will,"
spoko Mrs. Warren, "but the movers
hnve put our ten canister In some
bnrrel or box and we are all famish
ing for a bite to eat."
Mrs. Hampden graciously attended
to the needs of her neighbor, asked to
be of assistance and even Invited them
over to tea.
"No, I thank you, but I won't do
that," snld Mrs-. Worren. "It would
spoil my husband. His dream of life
is to have money enough to take us
nil to board at some hotel where there
won't be anything to do but eat."
The lady departed, very grateful and
very tired, she said. There was an
other summons nt the door five min
utes later. It wns Mr. Warren. -
"Sorry to trouble you, ma'am," he
said, "but the sugar Is missing, too,
and If you'd loan us- a cupful "
"All you need," replied Mrs. Hamp
den and settled down to her lonely
men I to be Interrupted once more by
the reappearance of Mr. Warren. This
time It was mntches and just before
bedtime u fourth call for kerosene,
"our own supply having given out."
lly noon the following day Mrs.
Hampden was perturbed and disap
pointed as to her new neighbors. Hall
n dozen times the children or tbelt
parents came In quest of this or that
article.
She expected tho usual application
for the assistance that evening when
a knock came nt tho door, but going
thither It was pressed in nlmost ns
soon as she had unlocked It
"Quick ! I don't care to be seen by
the people next door," wald Ronald
Fierce, her brother. Ho proceeded to
Impart an enlightenment that consld
ernbly astonished his sister.
"I noticed the vacant house next door
and am responsible for directing the
Warrens there," ho said. "I want you
to be kind nnd Indulgent to them, sup
ply their needs, no matter what the
cost, and I will mnke It all up to you.
The fact Is, Alma, I am Warren's lnw
yer In n case where he will either
recover a fortune or nothing, but nt
I have a dearer object than that In
view, be my helpful friend, won't you?"
"Why, certainly, but"
"I love Edltha Morse, but I hnve nev
er told her so. She's proud, sensi
tive, troubled greatly about these shift
less relatives. I only nwalt tho op
portunity to olTer her a home, but it
cannot be until those she Is loyal te
are able to care for themselves."
The Warrens did not change theli
borrowing tactics. The father even
asked for the loan of money. He
dashed In upon Mrs. Hnmpden one
morning n month Inter, n fluttering tel
egram In his hand.
"You dear, kind lady," he cried, "I've
good news from my lnwsult. "I am
rich, think of It, nnd oh, won't we
make up to yon for all thnt you have
done for us!"
So within u week the WarrenH were
able to nrrnnge to spend the rest ol
their lives In ense nt n hotel. Hnvlnfi
won the suit, Fierce visited the family
pretty often, and now that Edltha
Morse was relieved from her duty ol
helping tho fnmlly she had time to note
and analyze his attentions.
"I mn going to borrow Edltha from
her borrowing relative for an auto
drive tomorrow," Fierce told his sis
ter one dny. "Oh, only long enough to
tell her how I love her." he ndded,
"After thnt 1 hope she will be mine
entirely."
NO LONGER SIMPLE PROBLEM
Matter of Food, In These Dayt of
Statistics, Hns Become Ques
tion of Calculation.
Once upon a time this problem of
food was a very simple matter. Three
times n day, as a rule, the attention
of man was drawn to n hollow feeling
located due east of the lower end of
the vertebral column. This1 vncancy
he proceeded to till with a slab of
bread, n chunk of beef, n pot of rice,
etc., flavored as a rule with butter,
Jam, garlic, etc., according to nice, re
ligion, cllmnte, age, etc. This settled
the problem till the next call from
the far East.
It pains us to say thnt this was liv
ing to eat and not eating to live. It
showed no adjustment of moans to
nd. It wns n system of food thnt
made no distinction between u long
shoreman and n free-versv poet. It
wns Internal anarchy.
Happily the truth has been realized.
The consumption of food Is no longer
destructive but constructive. Man no
longer ents corned beef and cabbage,
but the vltnmlne.s in the beef nnd tho
polyzeugmntlcs in the cabbage. When
he picks up the bill of fare he no long
er says, "What will most speedily nnd
cheaply allay the unrest In my far
East?" but he says, "Where can I find
the l'J.HOO enrbonuxates that will give
me the right outlook on the League of
Nntlons?" And he tlnds It In unpolish
ed rice. Or he says to himself, "I am
now at work on the fourth net of my
poetic drnma; to make It convincing
to Ilclnsco I must absorb H.200 per
mngnnazolds dally for the next .10
days." So he shaves the kernels (iff
the corn nnd eats the cob. Ferhaps
with coconut butter, for the added col
loidal saxophonlnms.

HAD IT ALL PLANNED OUT
Colored Soldier Knew Exactly what
He WasGoIng to Do With All
Those Black Clothes.
Here Is n story of two negro sol
diers, who were talking Just nfter tho
signing of the armistice:
" 'Knstus,' said one, 'what you gwine
to do when you-all gets home?'
"'What am I gwlne do? Wnl, In
the fust place, nigger, I's gwlne buy
me a white suit o' clo'es, 'n white
shoes, 'n n white shirt, collnr 'n tie,
'n a white hat. I's gwlile be white all
over, nigger, an' den I's give up you
nigger folks 'n alius do my 'soclntlng
wld white folks.'
"The boy paused, then nsked:
'What you-all gwlne do, Jnke?' 'Wnl,'
says Jake, 'I's' gwlne buy me n black
suit, 'n black shoes, 'n u black shirt,
'n a black tie, 'n a black hat. I's
gwlne be black all over. Den, when
dnt's done, I's gwlne buy me a big
piece of black crape and fasten It
round my black hat.'
" 'Man, says ltnstus, 'what you-all
menu by all dem black clo'es and by
dat lilnck crape? What for you gwlne
wear dat black crape?'
" 'Nigger,' says .lake, 'I's gwlne wear
dat' black crepe to your funeral.' "

A man on the South side advertised
his car for sale. Early the next morn
ing a man who lived across the street
mme over nnd said: "Fardon me, but
I see by last night's paper you adver
tised your car for sale."
"Quite true," said the man who ad
vertised the car, "but surely you ure
not In the market for It."
"No," was the reply, "but I only
live across the street and I also want
to sell my car. And there would be
uo need of me spending my money for

were through looking at your car you
could Just send them ncross the .street
