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. There are a lot of other
good things about it wc want to show you

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.

(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

'EN have all kinds of reasons for
liking Spur Cigarettes. Some like
them because they're mighty classy
looking that brown'and'silver pack'
age is an eyewinner. Some like them
because the paper is crimped no
paste to taste. Some like them because
they're a full'packed cigarette noth
ing "skinny" about them. Some like
Spurs because they're twenty for
twenty cents the rock'bottom price
for the highest possible quality.
But what they all shout about and
pass along is that they have found ac
last a cigarette with that good old to'
bacco taste that lingers in the memory.
Yes, sir, you can sure taste the good
Oriental and homegrown tobaccos
and that's the big idea back of Spur
Cigarettes.
Now, folks, just don't wait, but try
a package of Spur Cigarettes today.
It's not as though vou were buying a
limousine. And if you do find .in Spur
the cigarette you have been wanting
something that just strikes the spot
it will be the best buy you've made
since Hector was a pup.
