HUMOROUS 
The cassowary Is a bird 
That’s hard to capture, very. 
Folk hunting for her plumes have made 
The cassowary wary. 
—Kansas Cty Times 
Waiter: “Yes, sir; we’re very hup to 
date ’ere. We cook heverythink by helec- 
tricity.” Customer: “Oh, do you? Then 
just give this steak another shock.”— 
Punch. 
Instructor in Public Speaking: 
“What is the matter with you, M'r. Jones? 
Can’t you speak any louder? Be more 
enthusiastic. Open your mouth and throw 
yourself into it.”—Harvard Lampoon. 
“A young man,” said the man of ready¬ 
made maxims, “should learn to say ‘no. ” 
“That’s right,” answered Senator Sor¬ 
ghum, “A man who has the habit of say¬ 
ing ‘no’ saves ’himself a lot of wear and 
tear when people get to asking him to re¬ 
sign.”—Washington Star. 
“My dear, will it bother you if I ask 
a question about our club bookkeeping ? 
You know I’m treasurer.” “No; delight¬ 
ed, I’m sure.” “Well, we gave a charity 
euchre for the benefit of the Old Ladies’ 
Home. It cost our club $300, and we 
only took in $250. Now I figure it out that 
the old ladies owe us $50. Am I right?” 
—Life. 
At the pit of a coal-mine in Pennsyl¬ 
vania there have occurred, during the past 
few months, quite a number of accidents 
whereby innocent bystanders have come 
to grief.. Accordingly, some kind official 
has caused to be posted a notice that 
reaches the acme of politeness. It reads: 
“Please do not tumble down the shaft.” 
—Harper’s Weekly. 
The champion absent-minded man lives 
at Balham. On one occasion he called 
upon his old friend, the family physician. 
After a chat of a couple of hours the doc¬ 
tor saw him to the door and bade him 
good-night, saying, “Come again. Fam¬ 
ily all well, I suppose?” “My heavens!” 
exclaimed the absent-minded beggar, 
“that reminds me of my errand. My wife 
is in a fit!”—Pick-me-up. 
A Washington man on a recent visit 
to a benighted section of a southwestern 
State was riding along the banks of the 
river that waters that section, and, al¬ 
though he had gone some twenty miles or 
so, he had not in all that distance no¬ 
ticed a single fisherman. Meeting a man 
lounging near the stream, he asked: 
"Why doesn’t some one fish in this 
river?” “Ain’t no fish,” was the laconic 
response of the native. "No fish in such 
a beautiful river as this!” exclaimed the 
astonished Washingtonian. “Why not? 
The native lazily shifted'his position and 
asked: “Stranger, ef you could git outer 
this country as easy as a fish can, do 
you reckon you’d be here?’—‘Credit Lost. 
When you write advertisers mention The 
U. N.-Y. and you’ll get a quick reply and 
“a square deal.” See guarantee, page 8.

Warm, Dry and Tight 
in any Climate 
If you put this roofing on your buildings it 
matters not whether you live in Maine or Florida, 
your stock, grain and implements will be ab¬ 
solutely protected from wind, rain and storms of 
every kind. 
Amatite doesn’t freeze in zero weather, nor 
does it “ run” when the thermometer is high. It’s 
the best roofing for use the country over. 
It comes ready-to-lay. We send nails and 
cement for laps with every roll so you don’t have 
to send to the store for anything. 
As Amatite has a real mineral surface you 
don’t have to spend any time patching, painting 
or repairing it. Once down, it’s there to stay. 
It won’t leak—it won’t blow off. 
As compared with shingles, tin, and most other 
ready roofing, the price of Amatite seems ridicu¬ 
lously low. Yet it makes a better roof than any 
of these. 
Investigate for yourself . Don t take our word 
for it. Send to-day for a FREE SAMPLE. If 
you once see Amatite—how pliable, tough and 
solid it is—you will never buy any other.

In the Field is Where the Dains 
Show Their Worth 
Out in the field handling hay iswhere the Dains 
shine best. Out there they never fail to make 
friends with the farmer. We wish that every 
farmer who makes hay could watch The Dam 
Hay Loader and the Dain Side Delivery Hay 
Rake work awhile—could follow them around 
and see how easily and how well they do the 
work. We’d sell a lot of ’em and the old pitch- 
fork would have to stay in 
the barn. The 
Dain is the

The Side Delivery; Rake delivers two swaths 
in a loose continuous windrow upside down so that 
the sun and wind can get in their work and cure the 
hay without loss of quality or color. It leaves the

gather it up. We’d like to tell you more about these 
two good hay tools before you buy. If you’ll write
