Parker Lichty’s Hobby 
Is Farm Power 
His experience of interest 
to every farmer 
Parker Lichty lives 
near Carlisle, Pa. He 
has been a power 
farmer for years and 
has had several 
types of engines on 
his farm. For the 
past three years he 
has used an Edwards. 
He has put it to 
every conceivable 
test, "so he knows 
what it will do un¬ 
der actual working 
conditions. And this 
is what he has to say about it. 
“With the Edwards I can change power as I 
change jobs, and two men can easily carry it to 
any place I want to use it. 
“It is easy to operate and very powerful. A 30- 
iuch saw doesn’t faze my Edwards and it was 
equal to a steam engine when hitched to a 4- 
hole corn sheller. 
“I run our washing machine, pump water, run 
the emery wheel and sheaf elevator. It operates 
a Peerless chopper, 8-inch burr wide open, for 
chopping oats and corn. 
“The Edwards is one of the greatest farm en¬ 
gines on the market. It surely takes the jdace 
of four or five engines on our farm.” 
Lichty’s experience is similar to thousands of 
satisfied farmers who have used an Edwards 
F'arm Engine during the past eight years. We 
want to tell you how this one engine Will fill 
your silo, run your washing machine, or prac¬ 
tically every power job on your farm—how it 
starts without cranking—how it can be regu¬ 
lated to give anywhere from l'/a to 0 H.P.— 
how it saves fuel—how it is never fastened 
down, does not vibrate, is light enough to be 
moved easily, yet is rugged and durable. So do 
this now. Send us your name and address. You 
risk nothing, and without cost or obligation we 
will send all of the facts about this remarkable 
engine and our FREE trial offer. Write today.

The Last Night of Summer 
Last night the buds of Summer closed. 
It was a gala night; starry, crystal clear 
in the moonlight. The lily pads in the 
pool lay quiet in their sparkling back- 
gi’ound unstirred by the splashing of 
leaping frogs when footfalls approached. 
The universe was concentrating on creat¬ 
ing Autumn, and Nature was wrapped 
in divine silence awaiting her frosty mes¬ 
senger. Leaves that were green shall be 
golden, vermilion, faint yellow. The bit¬ 
tersweet berries shall be orange and burst 
their shells. Apple trees shall lose their 
glory of ripened fruit; the bright-cheeked 
peaches shall soften and drop, hidden in 
the grass. The hard green quinces shall 
turn fuzzy and yellow and follow them. 
Let all the Summer decorations pass! 
And even the Gladioli must bow their 
lovely heads before this edict; even the 
asters must droop and crumple on their 
stalks. Autumn is in a different pattern. 
All day long I have been making red 
catsup out of a mixture of colors. The 
recipe runs, 30 red tomatoes, 12 white 
pink-cheeked apples, 10 white onions, one 
red pepper, two cups of shining white 
sugar, five tablespoons of dull white salt. 
There are two teaspoons of homely brown 
cinnamon, a teaspoon of smutty dark 
cloves, but those are tied up in a little 
cheesecloth bag and do not appear “as 
are” in the ensemble. I do not peel the 
tomatoes or apples—just the onions. 1 
simply slice them all and pour a quart of 
vinegar on them. Cooking for the initial 
two hours, they are a composite picture 
of Fall colors, framed in blue enamel. 
But in the hour’s cooking which comes 
nfter the pulp has been pressed out 
against the sieve, they are blended to¬ 
gether in solid red. Now that the tall 
red bottles of catsup each in its white 
wax cap, stand on the cellar shelf in a 
long row, I am still seeing catsup in 
terms of that which it was in the begin¬ 
ning. It brightens up the gloom of the 
cellar. 
Since his sisters are away at school all 
the day, Marcus has become a rover, a 
20-months-old adventurer. Pete did not 
die under the wheels of that car, and now 
he is a very lonely dog, limping about on 
three legs while the fourth oue heals. But 
he can travel well enough to accompany 
little Mark on these trips of exploration 
lie likes to make so well. So off they go 
across the lots, up the road or down the 
road, the dog leading, trotting ahead, his 
tail held aloft like a banner, his head up 
proudly, as if he were escorting a little 
prince. Marcus follows closely, his fa¬ 
vorite stick held like a staff in his hand. 
A rare pair of adventurers they are. And 
many an anxious moment the family has 
answering the question, “Where has Mark- 
gone?” The first move is to whistle for 
Pete, following up his trail when he ap¬ 
pears. The last resort is to go to the 
highest window in the house and look for 
a moving white spot that might he white 
hair with the sun shining on it. On one 
of these hunts Marcus was sitting under 
the corn house, so now the rule is to look 
for Pete first. I sometimes think that 
Mark would be willing to travel to the 
end of the earth in the wake of Pete’s 
flying tail. 
The little red-headed one has come 
home from school and is shoving her first 
reader up under my arms to show me how 
far she went today. “I had good luck to¬ 
day, mother,” she says; “got over two 
pages.” Mother has an inkling of why 
she got so far, having officiated at some 
special studying the night and morning 
before. VVe have been remiss in not 
teaching the child the small letters first. 
Capital letters, from which she was 
taught the alphabet here at home, only 
appear at the beginning of sentences, so 
the small letters were strange and contra¬ 
dictory. For instance, “fl,” as it is 
joined in the reading book, seemed like 
capital “D.” She confuses “b” with “d,” 
and “h” with “n,” and “e” with “c.” 
How much we might have spared her by 
teaching the small letters first! I feel 
ashamed to think how stupid we were. 
She has a quick mind, and I had expected 
that after a month or so of adjustment to 
the ways of school she could skip the first 
grade and enter the second. This matter 
of unlearning what she has learned will 
be more difficult than it may seem. And 
yet I am convinced that she is a born 
student by the very tenacity with which 
she clings to those first impressions! 
Crows.are holding a clamorous conven¬ 
tion over the various cornfields where 
corn is being set up, taking notes perhaps 
for future use. I think the corn in this 
locality was pretty well matured. But 
the six-ear corn, though it grew some 11 
ft. tall, did not have a chance to de¬ 
velop six ears. It would naturally not 
be possible for corn, native in Florida, to 
mature in the North. Our cold New 
York climate retards growth at least one-" 
third, and added to that we have a short¬ 
er growing season. The peanuts sent us 
by Uncle Ilam from North Carolina have 
seemed to manage better, and are ready 
for pulling. 
Daddy has been digging a field of 
potatoes that ran 200 bushels to the 
acre. In this locality the government 
crop estimate seems to coincide with our 
own idea of conditions. Potatoes can be 
bought for 50 cents a bushel in some sec¬ 
tions, and of course will go even lower. 
Cabbage is at $4. Ah, if we could only 
take down a record of our sensations this 
Fall and produce it at Spring planting !

A Wise Old Trapper 
In the state of Ohio there lived a bunch of 
boys who had this trapping business down to 
a science. They each sent for separate price 
lists every year and then sent all their furs 
to the house giving the best quotations. After 
five years they decided they weren’t so dread¬ 
fully wise because they didn’t have enough 
profits to make their efforts worth while. 
One day they met. Tom McMillan driving a new car 
to town, Tom paid he made the price of his swell 
outfit shipping pelts. He told how he got wise to 
those funny priceB and found it was better to deal 
with Chas. Porter because he always knew in advance 
just what he was sure of getting. He Buid that Porter 
never offered */> for a *8 pelt but he always paid the S3 
which he promised and sometimes a little better. Chas. 
Porter now has five wise trappers in that section 
instead of one.
