tlian yon had before the invest¬ 
ment. In other words, you have 
swapped 100 dollars for 600 bush- 
C els of corn, or 1 
dollar for G bush¬

tment *will bring 
you a higher rate 
of interest? 
By thc a PP Hca -

tilizers to the corn 
crop you will increase the yield 
per acre, lessen the cost per bush¬ 
el, and realize a profit on your in¬ 
vestment in land and labor. 
Write our Service Bureau for our 
book on “Corn Growing,” and on 
how to use fertilizers most profit¬ 
ably. Address any V-C office. 
You are planning to plant 40

you be interested 
if someone sliould 
show you that by IT/-vm^i 
investing 100 dol- J - " ill 
lars along with 
your labor and seed, you could 
increase the yield to 55 bushels 
per acre? 
Your crop in that case would be 
2200 bushels. 
Suppose it takes 300 bushels of 
corn to pay back the 100 dollars, 
you still have 300 bushels more

"The boss caught up the ax and I took 
the poker. Together we walked to the 
door, threw it suddenly open, stepped 
back, and looked inside. The room was 
empty, save for that mound of “rubbish” 
covered with the blankets. That was all 
there was in the room, but I give you my 
word that as we watched I saw that 
blanket move through some action of the 
thing it covered. There was a struggle, 
and then slowly the mass rose up through 
some mysterious power. A great hand 
reached from under and pulled the 
blanket down. There sat Cap Ryan, 
blinking unsteadily at us,. He rubbed his 
hand across his mouth, and called out 
in a thick, wondering voice: 
“ ‘Where am I, toy it Where am If' 
“The moonlight fell on bis bald head 
and gray hairs. At that moment his nose 
was as white as yours. There he sat, as 
natural as life, except for that white 
nose. And he kept on saying: 
" 'Where am I, boys? Where arn I?’ 
“We quickly told him. for Cap Ryan 
was no dead man—he’s alive today. lie 
kicked off the blankets, staggered to hLs 
feet, and told us all he could remember. 
He started from town through the storm 
carrying a bottle of whisky. He must 
have kept on drinking until he carried 
almost as much as would be fuel in our 
car tank. All be could remember was 
that he got home and fell down. That 
was where we found him. The blankets 
we threw over the supposed dead man 
kept, him alive and carried him through. 
When Cap walked out. of that little room 
No need to pay more 
You can’t buy a better 
Hf—an spray pump! 
There Is no better spray pump 
than the Standard. In fact, there 
is no other as good, because thc 
Standard will do everything re¬ 
quired of a spray pump — and do 
it quicker — with less bother — 
and less expense. It will throw n 
stream 30 feet which breaks into a 
fine mist — reaching thc top-most 
limbs of the tallest trees. A man 
can spray many more trees because 
he doesn’t have to move platforms 
and ladders. It is small, handy, 
always ready—forfruit and vegeta¬ 
ble work, white washing, disinfect¬ 
ing, washing windows, a ut am obilcs, 
etc., spraying live stock, fighting 
fires and hundreds of other uses. 
Made entirely of brass; is not 
affected by chemicals; is guaranteed 
five years but will lust much longer. 
Sold by hardware dealers. It 
yours can't supply you, write us. 
Price $5.00 ($5.50 West of Denver 
or in extreme South) Knapsack 
and other attachments extra. Send
