HUMOROUS 
“Here, hold my horse a minute, will 
you?” “Sir! I’m a member of Con¬ 
gress !” “Never mind. You look honest. 
I’ll take a chance.”—Louisville Courier- 
Journal. 
The following melancholy conversation 
between two small boys was recently over¬ 
heard: “I say, Jimmy, who is that man 
with your mother?” “That ain’t a man; 
that’s father.”—London Standard. 
“Just look at those pretty flowers on 
that plant. Lovely, aren’t they?” “Yes, 
but they don’t stay on long.” “Why 
isn’t that strange?” “No, it’s quite nat 
ural. They’re bachelor buttons.”—Phila¬ 
delphia Press. 
“Why is it, Willie, that you have to 
stay after school nearly every day?” 
“Well, ma, I hate to blow about myself, 
but I’m beginning to believe the teacher 
must enjoy bein’ alone with me.”—Chi¬ 
cago Record-Herald. 
“Did you ever make a mistake in a 
diagnosis?” “Only once. I was called 
to attend a sick man whom I said had 
indigestion, and less than a week later 
I discovered that he was rich enough for 
appendicitis.”—Le Rirc. 
"I hear your master is a perfect lady- 
killer, James, especially since he got his 
new automobile. Is that so?” “Well, 
partly, ma’am, so to speak. He’s run 
over quite a lot, but none of ’em’s dead 
yet.”'—Baltimore American. 
On a recent Monday morning the pas¬ 
tor of a church in Virginia was the re¬ 
cipient of a basket of strawberries brought 
to him by a little girl of the parish 
“Thank you very much, my dear,” said 
the minister. “These berries are as fine 
as any I’ve ever seen. I hope, however, 
that you did not gather them yesterday— 
the Sabbath.” “No, sir,’ replied the child. 
“I pulled ’em early this mornin’, but they 
was a-growin’ all day yesterday.”—Har¬ 
per’s Weekly.

jot of hard work later on. Don’t be talked into buying a fnachine

pour milk into one. Besides it does n’t cost any more 
to get an easy running

with a low milk tank that a child can reach, a simple 
bowl that’s easily washed, and a set of entirely enclosed 
gears, protected from dirt and danger. The U. S. holds 
the World’s Record for clean skimming—it is the most 
profitable machine for you to buy, and will last a life 
time. Our handsome new catalogue describes in detail the operation 
and construction of the United States Separator. Many fine and 
accurate illustrations aid in making perfectly clear to you the advant¬ 
ages the U. S. has over all others. If you’re keeping cows for profit,

Buying Power by Guess 
is dangerous business. There’s the widest difference in the 
design and uses of gasoline engines. We never, under any 
circumstances, sell an engine unless we know the require¬ 
ments of the man buying it. We want to know the condi¬ 
tions and uses. No man can sell you 
A Power Sure To Be Right 
unless he knows these things. That’s why we want to“talk It over”— 
why we have experts go out and investigate—why our powers al 
ways give satisfaction. We not only seil tho right power for the 
work but we keep track of it and see to it that it does satisfy We 
count it our business to be and to keep power experts. You will need 
our kind of power and our service. Let us get together. Write for

kept in order and operated definitely. 
It developes the full rated horse power 
and sustains it against the heaviest load.

steam power. 
It is adaptable to any and every use re¬ 
quiring a power. 
Among its many uses may be named: 
Shelling, Husking and Shred¬ 
ding Corn; Grinding Feed; 
Cutting Dry Fodder and En¬
