HUMOROUS 
His Aunt: “Now, Willie, never try 
to deceive anyone. You wouldn’t like 
to be two-faced, would you? “Gracious, 
no! One face is enough to wash these 
cold mornings,”—Illustrated Bits. 
Wink : “He didn’t use to dodge his 
rich relatives, hut he does now.” Bink: 
“Does, eh ?” And as poor as he is ?” 
Wink: “Sure! All his rich relatives 
have bought automobiles.”—Chicago 
Daily News. 
Dr. Griffin : “I must say the world 
is very ungrateful toward our profes¬ 
sion. How seldom one sees a public 
memorial to a doctor!” Mrs. Goligh'tly: 
“How seldom? Oh, doctor, think of 
our cemeteries!” — The Melbourne 
Leader. 
Hitter: “This paper states that it is 
only a matter of time when the auto¬ 
mobile will reach the poor man.” Upp: 
“You bet it will reach him if he don’t 
get out of the road as soon as he hears 
the first ‘honk, honk!’ ”—Chicago Daily 
N ews. 
“What was the worst money panic 
you ever saw, colonel?” asked the in¬ 
terviewer. “The worst money panic I 
ever saw,” replied the great financier, 
“was when a nickel rolled under the 
scats of a street car and seven women 
claimed it.”—Chicago Daily News.

Make Better Hay 
In Vz The Time 
Save the Whole Crop 
Did you have a lot of trouble 
handling your hay last year? 
Many farmers did. With the great' 
DAIN 
Side Delivery Rake 
a bl£ crop like last year’s is no harder to handle than 
a small one. Heavy crops don’t phaze the Dain Side 
Delivery Rake. Working overtime can’t tire it. No 
fear of a breakdown when you’re head over heels in 
work. You see, it’s got the name “Dain" on it—that 
on a hay tool means highest ciuality made—perfection 
down to the last bolt and waslier. 
Our Side Delivery Rake is a big hay money-maker. 
It’s a tedder and a rake in one. You can follow right 
behind the mower within an hour after cutting. It 
turns up the hay gently in light windrows giving free 
circulation, air-curing and so increasing the market 
and feeding value at least 75 cents a ton. 
This rake has three sets of raker teeth working on 
a reel. As they slowly and gently revolve they turn 
the hay loosely up side down without whipping off 
any of the leaves. And the Dain is simpler than any 
rake on earth so it handles hay with marvelous quick¬ 
ness and ease—cleans up every wisp too. 
It has exclusive construction advantages that make 
it lightest draft, easiest to run, longest- 
lived, cheapest to keep in running order. We 
can’t tell you all its special patent good points here, 
but write us and we’ll explain and send you free 
our illustrated descriptive book. We’ve been making 
hay tools a quarter of a century and are glad to 
place our practical experience at your service. So 
ask us any questions. We’ll tell you all you want 
to know about hay tools.

forms of heating. 
There isn’t any other 
feature of the home 
which will save you 
so much or give you 
equal comfort as 
^ icanx Ideal 
MORS '-MbOILERS 
These outfits for Low-Pressure 
Steam or Hot Water will soon 
repay their cost in coal savings, 
lessened labor, absence of re¬ 
pairs, and low insurance. All 
ash-dust, smoke, soot, and coal-gases are kept out of the living- 
rooms—reducing house-cleaning one-half and saving the wear 
on carpets, decorations, and furniture. 
If property is sold you get back their full value, or 10% to 15% higher rental. 
The saving of but one ton of coal in a year will meet the interest upon $100, 
and this sum will nearly cover the difference in the cost of IDEAL Boilers 
and AMERICAN Radiators as compared with a hot-air furnace for a good- 
size cottage. 
IDEAL Boilers and AMERICAN Radiators are annually replacing thousands 
of hot-air furnaces and stoves that have been found wasteful and wanting in 
OLD cottages, houses, stores, churches,'schools, etc. Ever heard of any one 
going back to other 
forms of heating once 
they have tried our 
way? Any argument 
in that to you ? 
No tearing-up neces¬

Congo on 
Barn at 
Lincoln, N.H. 
EURO' 
When looking for a roof one naturally wants something that is 
durable and that will stand the test of time. 
Congo Roofing has stood this test, and has proven its worth as 
a protection against all kinds of climate and weather. 
Many buildings the country over are covered with Congo, 
which have already given many years of service, and are good for 
many years more. 
Heat and cold, rain and snow, have no appreciable effect upon 
Congo. Even fire itself is stubbornly resisted by these roofs. 
Not the least attractive feature of Congo is the price. It is the 
cheapest of the high-grade rubber roofings.

and you’ll surely buy no other kind.

THE ROOF THAT LASTS LONGEST 
A New Roof Over 
Old Shingles 
tear off the old shingles—takes time, costs monfey. Save 
both—put on “Vulcanite” right over the old shingles-makes 
the roof better-lasts longer. Special long nails fasten it on 
for keeps. “Vulcanite” is the standard of two Continents 
with 60 years of service to prove its superiority. No tar or 
paper in its makeup. Best thing money can buy for old or 
new roofs. Cheaper than shingles or tin—needs no annual re¬ 
painting to keep it in repair: resists fire, acid, smoke, heat, cold, 
wet or dry. Before you build or repair you should get our 
prices and free samples. You want the best roofing—we'll give 
you several tests to prove which is best. Write today for free

New Deere Gang 
On cold mornings you may want to walk 
while plowing. Maybe your boy is so small 
he can hardly raise a gang plow with the 
foot-lift when the horses are stopped. In 
either case the trouble is overcome by 
using 
The 
Auxiliary 
Hand 
Lever 
The New Deere 
is the only gang so 
made that you can 
raise the plows with 
a foot-lift or with a 
band lever—or with 
both. The auxil¬ 
iary hand lever 
folds out of the way 
when not in use. 
The Booklet Beautiful 
shows plows ancient and modern. Illus¬ 
trated by photos of actual plowing scenes 
from all over the world.
