HUMOROUS 
Some men midst glories are installed 
And some with scorn we view. 
This is because some bluffs are called, 
While other bluffs go through.

“Every rose has its thorn. For in¬ 
stance, a man may reach the very pin¬ 
nacle of fame and still be unhappy.” “No 
wonder. Did you ever sit on a pinnacle?” 
—Philadelphia Press. 
“Why don’t you hire somebody that 
thoroughly understands every part of an 
automobile?” “Because,” answered the 
discouraged and dusty tourist, “there 
isn’t any such person.”—Credit Lost. 
“That man may seem to you somewhat 
uneducated, and yet he makes a fine liv¬ 
ing by his pen.” “Why, I would never 
take him for a writer.” “He isn’t, he 
raises pigs.”—Baltimore American. 
“Explain,” said the teacher to the 
class, "the difference between the ‘quick’ 
and ‘the dead.’ ” “Please, sir,” answered 
Johnnie, “the quick is them as gets out 
of the way of motor cars and the dead 
is them as doesn’t.”—Tit Bits.

WfHEN you buy afarm powerit 
is to yottr interests to get the 
engine that will give you 
—the best service —at the least ex¬ 
pense—with the greatest conven¬ 
ience —and the least trouble. 
You can’t afford to buy any other 
kind. 
* * * 
Now, we believe that we have the 
gasoline engineycK want. 
We know that our engine—the 
Abenaque—is more convenient in 
every dayuse—is adapted to a wider 
range of work,—gives less trouble, 
and—takes less fuel than any other 
farm power engine made. 
We know it. and we want to trove 
it to you—or let you prove it your¬ 
self. 
Therefore we ask the privilege 
of sending you any Abenaque En¬ 
gine you may select 
On 30 Days Free Trial 
No money in advance—no trouble 
or bother. 
We send a man to show you how 
to run it, and then, 
You simplyuse the engine30days, 
and decide whether the claims we 
make for it are true, or not. 
That is the way to be sure about it. 
* * * 
Of course, we wouldn’t dare make 
such an oiler if we weren’t sure that 
the Abenaque will do better work 
for you than any other engine in 
your neighborhood. 
It is so simple and so convenient 
that you can’t help being delighted 
with it. 
In the first place it is adapted to 
more kinds of work than any other 
engine; it can he used in moremays, 
in more places and in more positions. 
This is true because the Aben¬ 
aque is a ‘‘unit’’—that is. it is self- 
contained—all one piece of ma¬ 
chinery that you can pick up and set 
down anywhere—on rough ground 
or a hillside, and be all ready for 
ditional cost) and you can move 
it about your place with no 
more trouble than you would 
have with a saw-buck. 
And it’s always ready for 
business. 
Our special method of mixing 
the air and gas, enables 11 s to be 
entirely independent of the heat 
of the engine for vaporizing the 
gasoline, so that you can start the 
Abenaque as surely in the coldest 
weather, as you can in summer. 
We positively guarantee this— 
and it means a lot to you. 
Our patented system of cooling is

Itisbuilt on long, heavy Z-beams 
which take up the vibration so that 
no foundation is necessary—no 
bolting down or trueing up. 
The gasoline tank and water-cir¬

gine, so you have no connections to 
make. 
You can put the engine on any or¬ 
dinary truck or sled (or we provide

Instead of having to have an extra 
hogshead of water, holding60or70 
gallons, the Abenaque has long, flat 
tanks—a part of the engine—which 
require only 4 or 5 pailfuls of water 
and which nevertheless give great¬ 
er circulation, greater radiation of 
heat, and more rapid cooling, than

Not only the house, 
but on all the build¬ 
ings, the roof is the 
hardest part to protect. 
That is the place 
where weather strikes 
its hardest blows and 
does the most damage. 
Yet lots of people put 
on a flimsy light¬ 
weightroofing andex¬ 
pect good protection. 
They don't get it. 
They build the walls of stone or brick or 
wood and plaster and then expect to get 
equal protection, from a roofing % of an 
inch thick weighing a few ounces to the 
foot. You can’t make a durable roof of 
that kind. There must be some body to 
the roofing—some stuff in it, some 
weight and solidity to it. That’s why 
Amatite succeeds where others fail. It 
weighs nearly a pound to the square 
foot. 
Moreover Amatite requires no coating. 
It protects without the expensive paint 
or varnish that other roofings constantly 
require. It is waterproof in itself and 
depends upon its mineral surface for its 
endurance.

office of the Barrett Manufacturing Co.,

RELIABILITY 
They are simple, they are built on the 
right plan, they give you dependably, no 
matter what the conditions, more than 
their rating of power. 
All talk aside, there’s nothing so im¬ 
portant to you, if you are buying power, 
as dependability. 
In the I. H. C. Engines you are as¬ 
sured of an engine that can be depended 
upon at all times, under any conditions.
