hear of her sorrow.
LOCAL AND PERSONAL
Mr. and Mrs. S. V. Pazderny
and children, Leona and Leon-
ard, left Tuesday morning for a
month’s vacation to various
parts of California, Canada and
Carsbad Cavern.

THE "CLIP-CUT" SELF-BALANCED MOWER
and what it will do in your hay fields. Your weight,
alone, takes the weight off the horses’ necks
Make this mower balance test:
Put a man on the seat of the Oliver "Clip-Cut” Mower. Then
lift the tongue. You’ll do it without effort with one hand—then
make the same test on any mower with gears mounted in front of
the axle and see the difference. Your weight balances the Oliver
EClip-Cut." Your weight is all that’s needed to take the weight off
the horses’ necks.
And that means as much in comfort to you as it does to the horses.
You ride in comfort and quiet on the smooth running, easy riding,
light draft Oliver "Clip-Cut” Mower. With more knife sections
and guards spaced 2>2" apart, taking faster, smaller bites, the
"Clip-Cut” mows all crops easier and faster.
The 4-square frame holds the bar squarely to its work, makes
the Oliver Mower free from tongue slap, and the gear mounting
back of the solid one-piece axle produces the balance that takes
the weight off the horses’ necks. Together they keep your horses
free from sore necks. All gears are completely enclosed running in oil,
and there is one less gear in the Oliver, still further reducing draft.
Come in and let us show you how well it meets the needs of
this territory.
Once a year we pause in our every day activities
to honor the brave youth of America who have
given their lives that we may have the advantages
and privileges we enjoy today. On this Memorial
Day let us rededicate ourselves to the cause of right
and justice. That they may not have died in vain
we pledge our co-operation with every agency active
in the cause of world peace.
