Mrs. Fancle: “The papers mention 
a man who has cooked his own breakfast 
for 15 years.” Mr. Fangle: “He must 
have been very hungry when he finally 
got it done.”—Tit-Bits. 
Mrs. McSwatters: “I read here that 
$20,000,000 in gold were shipped to Eng¬ 
land last week. What’s that mean?” 
McSwatters: “I guess a couple of 
American heiresses must have got mar¬ 
ried.”—Syracuse Herald. 
Wife; “We have been married 12 
years, and not once in that time have I 
missed baking you a cake for your birth¬ 
day. Have I, dear?” Hubby: “No, my 
pet. I look back upon those cakes as 
milestones in my life.”—Credit Lost. 
“I SHOULD think you would be afraid 
to eat onions in the middle of the day,” 
said the blond typewriter to the bru¬ 
nette when they met at dinner. “I’m 
not a bit,” replied the dark one; “you 
see, our office is on the thirty-sixth fioor, 
and when I go up in that elevator it 
takes my breath away.”—^Yonkers 
Statesman. 
“Thomas,” said the teacher of the class 
in physiology, “can you give a familiar 
instance of the power of the human sys¬ 
tem to adapt itself to changed condi¬ 
tions?” “Yes’m,” responded Tommy 
Tucker. “My Aunt Abigail gained a 
hundred pounds in ffesh in less ’n a year, 
an’ her skin didn’t crackle a particle.”

Easy and Profitable Gardening. 
The thoughts of back-breaking, hand-hoeing and weeding prevents many a man from 
making money out of a garden. The easier, surer and better way is to use one of our 
“Plamt Jr ” Double Wheel Hoes. They cultivate perfectly all garden crops, astride or 
bptwppu the rows. Throw the dirt to or from the row; cultivate the middles; break up the crust and 
level the surface. They plow, turning furrow either right or left, hill up and furrow out. Have attach¬ 
ments for all this work. ^Adjustable to any width of row. Strong durahleandlasting. Every attachment 
S best hardened polished steel. Then, too, they are so easy to handle; children use them readily.

Your SUCCOSS with Small Fruits 
will surprise you this .season if you stir the .soil with a “Success” Weeder. The flat tooth of 
spring steel is the .secret of its thorough weeding and surface cultivation. No other weeder 
has, or can have, this patented feature. No other weeder is “Anti-Clog.” Growers who 
have used the “Success” Weeder on strawberries say it is better than a thou.sand pounds 
of fertilizer to the acre. It keeps the ground in perfect condition with the least possible 
nn 
labor. You get larger crops of finer fruit by using 
ANTI-CLOC WEEDER AND CULTIVATOR 
There is not a crop on the farm you cannot improve by using the “Success” Weeder, and 
save half the cost of cultivation. See what some folks say: 
R. M. Kellogg, President of the West Michigan Horticultural Society, Three Rivers, Mich., writes: “I used your 
“Success” Anti-Clog Weeder on all spring planted crops, raspberries, blackberries, etc., 
and heartily commend it to the farmers in all my Institute lectures. The great 
trouble witli the round tooth weeder is they readily clog by bunching the teeth 
together whenever they strike a hard spot, while your 
style of fiat spring tooth causes them to quickly adjust 
themselves so as to completely kill all the little weeds.” 
Alkrko Chalmers, Vineland, N. .T.,says: “The en¬ 
closed jilioto shows my two acres of strawberries. When 
first set I worked It both ways with the weeder, having 
all the teetli in. Later on when the plants had com¬ 
menced to run I used the weeder, taking off part of 
the teeth. These jilants have had no fertilizer of 
any kind and are cleaner and of better growth 
than any I know of, and this is a good straw¬ 
berry section." 
Every mafi contains praise for “Success” 
Weeders. Write for nil the facts about tlieni,
