- i 9 i Sc arecrow Combines Ease of Operation with Good Work It's genuine satisfaction to drive the John Deere Corn Binder round after round, and see the standing corn transformed into well-shaped, easily-handled bun dles, because the hard work is all taken out. The power carrier does away entirely with the hard work you don't have to dump the bundle carrier and return to po sition hundreds of times during the day. On the John Deere you press the foot trip lever and the-power carrier does' the rest it delivers the bundles free of the path of the horses, and practically parallel to the stand ing corn. The horses don't have to tramp over and on the bundles. Because the carrier is al ways in receiving position, no bundles ore scat tered between the windrovs. You will also appreciate the John Deere Corn Binder because it is easy on the horses. The Quick-Turn Tongue Truck takes off all neck weight, and makes it just as easy to turn at the ends as if the horses were hitched to a wagon. Besides, the truck takes off side draft and prevents sluing because the axle of the truck is flexibly mounted the wheels hold to uneven ground constantly. The John Deere works successfully in all kinds of corn fields. The wide throat; with flexible throat springs, holds the corn into the conveyor chains. The bottom conveyor chains operate close to the butts, carrying the corn back in a vertical position all of the way. The three paqkers, one working above the needle andtwo below, insure well formed bundles. The three discharge arms dis charge the bundles onto the power carrier. No chance of the discharging bundle mixing with the bundle being made. Wc want you to see this Binder.

Thirty years ago, when he Inhl down the sword he had curried with honor through the Peruvian strug gle with Chile, he took up nnns against every Imaginable weakness, shortconi ing, sin, and vice of ills fellow coun trymen ; and In laughter-provoking sur casm and scathing Irony he lias do picted all the wickedness to which llesli and particularly Peruvian llesh is heir. Velocity of Light. Physicists never tire of efforts to inereasu the accuracy of their know! edge of the fundamental facts of science. A redetermination of the ve locity of light by the Flzean toothed wheel method was made at Nice. These experiments were remarkable on ac count of the great distance over which tho beam of light employed was trans mltted. Previously such a beam hnd been caused to travel about llftcen miles, but on this occasion tho reflect log mirror was so placed that tho total dlstanco traversed by the beam, going and returning, was fifty-seven miles, The mean of 1109 observations gave for tho velocity of light 380,225 miles a second. :o:: Get Lucky Tips In Dreams.

By RALPH HAMILTON 8 SscococGccccoco&ccccocoooS (09, 1120, Weatern Newspaper Union.) It seemed to Miss, Mnry Burton that she had reached tlx vert1 height of 1 earthly felicity when she became tho , solo owner of a home of her own. For fifteen years she hnd taught school, carefully saved her money and now at thirty-ilve with a pnld up nnnulty pol icy bringing her forty dollars u month i she had settled down amid beauty and comfort. Tho house was vory pleasantly ar ranged and there was n two-acre gar den. This latter hud been neglected and MIsk Burton hnd great Ideas of Improving It as sho accumulated tho money to do so. An orphan niece, My ra Davis, hud come to live with her, bringing the furnishings of two rooms, Inherited from her mother. Tho i ar rangement was that Myra should as sist ubout tho house, and If they could get a littlo fancy work to do they would join in this feature of Increas ing their Income. "The llrst thing wo must do Is to get that old chicken yard in order," said Myra. "It will tnke nbout fifty yards of poultry netting to patch up tho old fenco and a now gnto must bo made for It. There's laying boxes to get for the chickens, too, and tho lnsido shea ought to bo whitewashed. You'll lcavo all that to me, won't you, Aunty?" Miss Burton wns fully agrecablo to this arrangement. Her own hobby about the place was n cherry tree that occupied the center of the garden. "It boro for the first time last year," a neighbors tell me." she said to Myra. Thcro was only n little fruit then, but this will be n good year for it. All my, Hfo I've longed to bo able to put up fruit raised by my own hnnds." So Miss Burton sprayed tho trco nnd watched the buds grow Into littlo green globes nnd cleaned and polished somo old fruit jars and made great prepay tlons for the harvesting of bcr treas ures. Menntlino Myra lived In a sort of elyslum of delight. Her forte wns mak ing things spick and span and keeping them so. Sho was trying to straighten, stretch nnd attach a roll of poultry wire to posts one afternoon when a young man of nbout twenty-two came along. He wns rolling a lawn mower nnd hnd n small ennvns bag, evidently containing tools. "Just let me save you time and trouble, young lndy," he spoke briskly. "You've got too pretty lingers to scrntcli and mush up with such rough work. Using nails? Ob, that won't do I Here's wlint you need for tacking and holding wire," and lie took from his kit n box containing u-shnped brads. Myra liked his face nnd mnnner nnybody would, for he wns nil smiles nnd good nature. He looked as If ho would feel hurt If she declined Jus help, but she said, "Wo aro doing most of the work nround here, Aunty nnd myself. We hnven't got much money." "Ob, thnt won't be work for me," de clared the young man. "I've got a lit tlo leisure. Now then, you tnko this awl and hold the wire truo while I nail. Thnt's It. Famous 1 Just getting ready to make a farm of tho place, eh? I'm picking up a sort of tempo ary living staying hero for a week or two. I know something nbout gnrden work nnd If you don't mind I'll drop nround once In n while nnd give you some points." "Oh, If you would 1" exclaimed Myra, and in her ingenuous wny told of Miss Burton's ngriculturnl nmbltlons. It led to her Interested visitor telling her something nbout himself. His wns n curious story. He gnvo her his nnmo as Archie Lull, and related that ho had come from another state whero ho had been In charge of a grain ele vator for a wealthy rclutlve. One dny a mnudlln produce buyer had quar reled with his wife In the elevator oillce and had struck her. All the man hood of Lull resented tho brutnllty. He hnd given tho man the trouncing of his life. The latWr wns Inlluentlnl and threatened to prosecute Lull to tho limit. "It was cowardly to run away," con fesscd Lull, "but I wns tired of tho monotonous Job nnywny, so I've sort of made myself scarce." He was a tireless worker, well In formed, agreeable and accomodating nnd lie made many new friends, no won the heartiest appreciation of Miss Burton by putting up a scarecrow to keep away the robins and blackbirds from her precious cherries and cur rnnts. In making the scarecrow Lull had used "an old cont of no value," ho de clared, "too loud to wear on tho street Just used It Inside tho elovn' tor ofllcc." It wns conspicuous and did Its work well. Ono day a man motor ing by halted and camo up to tho fence. "Young lady," ho spoke to Myrn, "ex cuso me, but that coat on your scare crow strikes me as familiar. Would you tell mo something of Its owner?" and then, ns Lull appeared, no extend ed his hand with heartiness nnd tho words : "Lucky I've found you. Thcro's a lot to tell you." What tho attorney told Archie Lull was that his relative, dying, had left him one of the heirs to a considerable amount. Miss Burton looked disap pointed and Myra snd at losing tho companionship of their cheery, helpful friend. "But I'm coming back," declared Archie, nnd ho did. It was to court tho wlnsomo Myrn and with her later settle down on MIhh Burton's mlnlu ture farm as the dearest spot on earth rti aim awil allftffifa " L ' HtM VmtH' gutty ei JCfutn Teuitli 7W Jgffi -I ' ' vl hath the . hiidea 9 ' 'EN have all kinds of reasons for liking Spur Cigarettes.
