HUMOROUS 
The poor consumer views his fate 
With feelings far from nice. 
Whenever (hey investigate 
It means a rise in price. 
—Washington Star. 
“Did you run across' anybody in that 
automobile tour?” “We ran ’em down 
first and then ran across ’em.”—Balti¬ 
more American. 
Tommy: “Pa, what is the Isthmus of 
Panama?” Pa: “The Isthmus of Pan¬ 
ama, Tommy, is a narrow strip of land 
connecting Central America with the 
United States Treasury.”—Life. 
“I haven’t noticed any mosquito net¬ 
ting around,” remarked the visitor who 
was making his first trip to Swampville- 
on-the-sound. “No,” answered Mr. 
Summering, proudly, “we use mouse 
traps.”—Credit Lost. 
“Does your daughter perform on the 
piano, Mr. Nuritch?” “Perform on the 
piano ? I should say not! My daughter’s 
had a careful bringin’ up. She never 
even danced on a table, as fur as I know.” 
—Chicago Record-Herald. 
A volley of shrieks issued from the 
booth containing the ladies’ dressing- 
rooms. Circus Manager: “Who is mak¬ 
ing that unearthly noise in the dressing- 
tent?” Assistant: “It’s the lady lion 
tamer, sir. She has just seen a mouse.”— 
Pearson’s Weekly. 
“Mamma, what are twins?” asked little 
Bobby. “Oh, I know,” chimed in 
Dorothy with all the superiority of an 
elder sister. “Twins is two babies just 
the same age; three is triplets, four is 
quadrupeds and five is centipedes.”— 
Harper’s Weekly.

That 
a Boy 
Can Run 
That means something. A man’s power in 
the biggest and widest sense of the word but 
so simple that his boy can run it. 
Don’t get a complicated engine even it you 
are a thorough mechanic. 
Equipped lor use with 
GAS, GASOLINE 
or ALCOHOL. 
I. H. C. engines are farm engines, intended 
to be run by farmers, doing farmers’ work. 
They are made as simple as it is possible to 
make them and have the proper efficiency. 
For certainty of response, quickness of 
action, smooth running and low cost of run¬ 
ning for power made, they have no real com¬ 
petitors. 
They are not only simple—they are scien¬ 
tifically and conscientiously built. Designed 
by men who know what a gasoline engine 
should be. Built so they can stand the most 
rigid test that can be put upon them. 
An imperative factory requirement is 
that every engine must develop 20% to 40% 
more than its rating of power. If it fails 
in this test it is sent back to the factory 
as a deficient engine. 
Designed and built and tested so that no 
man can possibly make a mistake when he 
buys one. 
We cannot afford to sell any other kind. 
Vertical, Horizontal, Portable, Stationary— 
many convenient sizes. Can be used for any 
work about the farm, from turning the grind¬ 
stone to operating a threshing machine.
