Y OU can be sure before you buy that President 
Suspenders will afford you a lot of wear. They 
are guaranteed—satisfactory—or money back. 
But you can never realize how wonderfully comfortable, 
and how different from other suspenders they 
are, \mtil you wear them. They’ll never let 
you knew you’ve got them on. 
The new “High Grade’’ President, made of 
Silk-Faced and Mercerized Lisle Webbings; 
the Regular always-reliable President; both 
have the original President “give and 
lake’’ feature — no finer wearing, more 
comfortable, or better looking suspenders 
made.

General Uhoratories- Madison, Wis. 
' 2766 PickiMMi Sc. 
' r'^HE motor truck, just coming into general 
use on the farm, is fast proving itself a 
most valuable farm machine. Farm hauling with 
horses takes a lot of time, keeps the driver from 
doing much needed farm work, and costs altogether too much 
in money as compared with the speedier, economical truck. 
Mr. L. C. Henry of Utica, Minn., purchased an Inter¬ 
national Motor Truck to haul his live stock and farm produce 
to market and to bring return loads from town. He says, 
“We use the truck for nearly every kind of hauling, It saves 
more time than any other machine in our farm service,” Five 
of Mr. Henry’s neighbors bought International Motor Trucks 
when they learned, from his experience, what a useful eco¬ 
nomical farm machine he had. 
An International Motor Truck can be used both on the farm 
and on the road. It is a safe machine to buy, for over 15,000 
are now in service. We have a dealer, a branch house or a 
service station somewhere near you. Write us for prices and 
complete information about all seven models.

the hammock on the porch .suits me better. 
Mother brings out her big bundle of 
mending—and the day slips quietly away. 
I have a little more work to do, and the 
boys have finally figured out their state¬ 
ment of the Twenty Ounce apples. Here 
it is: 
8 bushels at $1.7.".$14.00 
1 bushel at 2.25. 2.25 
.25 hn-shels at 1.87i^. 65.02 
3 bushels at 1.25. 3.75 
$85.02 
Baskets, labor and selling. 12.25 
$7.3..37 
Thus the seven trees of Tw'enty Ounce 
(15 years old) brought ,$85.02 gross, or 
.$7.3.87 net. The boys have the net 
amount, as the trees belong to them. 
Then they hand in their bills for the 
week’s work and begin to feel something 
like little financiers. All this money will 
go right back to Uncle Sam, for Liberty 
bonds. That is one reason why our boys 
are working as never before. We shall all 
economize and work our best and put 
every dollar we can spare in bonds and 
Red Cross w'ork. We all do better when 
we feel that there is something of this 
sort to w’ork for, and so, when the hot 
night finally settles upon us and the lights 
go out at last, we feel that this farm has 
put in a good day for the cause. It is not 
our privilege to get out on the front line 
in F’rance, but we will make this back line 
in New' Jersey as strong as w'e can.
