Drawn by one horse and operated by one man, the 
TRIPLEX MOWER will mow more lawn in a day 
than the best motor mower ever made, cut it better 
and at a fraction of the cost. Drawn by one horse 
and operated by one man, it will mow more lawn in 
a day than any three ordinary horsedrawn mowers 
with three horses and three men. One mower may 
be climbing a knoll, the second skimming a level and 
the third paring a hollow. Does not smash the grass 
to earth and plaster it in the mud in springtime nor 
crush out its life between hot rollers and hard hot 
ground in summer as does the motor mower. 
The Public is Warned not to purchase mowers infringing the Townsend Patent No. 1,209,519, Dec. 19, 1916.

GROW ACOMMUNITY FLOWE 
/COMMUNITIES are often times famed 1 
this or that historic building, for th 
manufactures, or for some picturesque hum 
landmark; but have you ever thought of making j 
community flower the basis of the fame of yo 
town? 
This can be done by votes taken in the schoo | 
clubs, or, better still, can be managed by a contc 
conducted by the town paper. For examp | 
THE EASILY GROWN COREOPSIS 
A community flower should be one that every 
"Tom, Dick, and Harry ” can grow everywhere 
suppose the town selects as its favorite flower the 
Coreopsis. When this has become the emblem 
of the town, everybody who has a garden and 
who likes to dig, at once begins to make the 
Coreopsis the end and aim of at least some of his, 
or her, digging. In that way every garden in the 
community will, before long, blossom forth with a 
fringe of joyous, deep golden-yellow, little flowers, 
bound to gladden the eye and heart of all who 
pass. I mention the Coreopsis because it is 
such a giddy, gaudy, hardy, jubilant little 
bloomer, making friendly repayment for any care 
bestowed upon it by a free profuseness of bloom. 
Of course, some other kind of flower may be 
selected, perhaps a fragrant type of red Rose, 
which — stranger things have happened— may 
bring a town long noted for political or other 
corruption into order again with the rest of the 
world. 
In any event the idea should, 1 think, be spread. 
It is the kind of propaganda that hurts no one and 
would benefit all. 
In spreading the gospel of the community
