WHAT HENRY FORD SAYS ABOUT
MACHINE POWER FARMING
“In the tractor the farmer has a machine in which is harnessed one of the
most adaptable, efficient, economical sources of power in the world—the internal
combustion engine.
“The tractor will multiply the productive capacity of each individual farm
worker from three to four times over.
“It will put the farmer on a par with the city manufacturer. It will put
his produce-producing factory—for that is what a farm is—on to an efficient
production basis. ,
“It will enable each worker to earn so much more that he can be paid more
and still leave a greater profit for the man wbn hires him. It will enable the
farmer to work fewer hours in the day, giving him more time to enjoy life.
“I believe the tractor will make farming what it ought to be—the most
pleasant, the most healthful, the most profitable business on earth.”

Quite a number of citizens went

There, was a protrusion of beauti-
ful floral offerings and eleven

living parents present, of the
honored dead, were Mr. and Mrs.

will be more generally known and
everybody attend and decorate all

WHY TIMES ARE HARD
There is nothing wonderful a-
bout times being hard and busi-
ness on the blink, and the only won-
der is that it is not ten times worse.
There are over 100,000,000 people
in America and that number pro-
duces more than enough for home
consumption by a great deal. This
excess production of every known
commJodity lias to be disposed of in
other countries all over the world,
and when it cannot be disposed of,
as at the present, then production
has to be curtailed and that brings
about, naturally, a large amount of
unemployment. The reason that
we cannot dispose of our excess
production abroad is obious—Eur-
ope has no money and no credit to
buy it with. Current rates of ex-
change show that the money of
other countries has depreciated, as
compared with our own staple
which puts the force of arms, back
and legs behind the blade. But if
all other signs fail, the farm boy
is spotted when he steps upon the
cage to descend.
A mine cage is but an open plat-
form hung from steel cable. It
measures but 4 feet by five yet 9
men are raised and lowered on it
at a time. They must stand in these
lines of threes, as close packed as
sardines and they must all face the
same way. Mining is a hazardous
occupation and to give the men
whatever chance is possible, they
always face the bell rope which
hangs in the shaft and which af-
fords the only means of communi-
cation with the surface in event of
accident.
One of the most comtemptuous
labels that can be fixed to a miner
is “he don’t know enough to face
the bell rope.”
Yet in every walk of life in Am-
erica there are thousands" who
don’t know enough to face the bell
rope. They do not put themselves
in a position to take advantage of

protection against accidents, mis-
fortunes, old age, illness or loss of
employment.
Government securities are the
bell rope of the indivdual financial
life of America. They are the
surest protection against the con-
tingencies of the future. They are
insurance against misfortune both
for you and those dependent on
you and they can never fail be-
cause they are backed by the en-
tire strength of the greatest nation
of the world.
Face the bell rope of saving and
safe investment in Treasury Say-
ings Stamps and Treasury Saving
Certificates. If you fail to provide
against the possibilities of acci-
dent in the future by some safe
method of investment you brand
yourself a financial hay shoveler
with all it implies.

HAY SHOVELERS
When work eases up for the win-
ter on the farms of the western
mining states, scores of the farmer
boys head for the mining camps to
get jobs as shovelers in the under-
ground workings. These tempor-
ary workers are regarded with con-
descending tolerance and scarcely
veiled contempt by the old timers
who have followed the mines for
years. They are known as “hay
shovelers” and the hard rock men
seldom fail to spot one before he
has gotten as far as the candle lock-
er at the collar of the short.
A dozen peculiarities set the hay
shovelers aside from the regular
miners and muckers. The sun-
shine of fields never color the faces
of the men who burrow in the
stopes and levels by candle light
for a living. The overalls of the
farmer boy have not got the worn
streak just above the right knee
where the experienced mucker ap-
plies the thrust to the shovel handle
Two singers of the Gypsy Serenad-
ers on our Chautauqua this season
who give a delightful costumed con-;’
cert using music of the faraway coun-
tries, such as sung and played by the'
Gypsies around their campfires. Their
stage setting shows them camped at
eventide.
This company was on the Chautau-,
qau last summer through Kentucky,
Illinois and Missouri. Such cities as
Bowling Green, Kentucky, Cape Girar-
deau, Missouri, and other musical
and cultural centers were delighted
with their unique presentation of the
music of the f,ar-away countries.
