There is no scintilla of hypoc- risy in his nature. He is my congental comrade and confidant, my rollicking romping companion, my never-failing chum. He has never betrayed a single trust reposed in him, nor has he ever, for an instant, faltered or wavered in his loyalty to me. His sincere friend ship is as reliable and unremitting as the attraction of gravitation, his loy- alty is as constant as the poise of the magnetic needle to the péle, He cannot be coaxed, bribed or oth- erwise influenced to betray me or to turn against me. He ts the ever-will- ing, alert and obedient servant of my every beck and nod. He would at any time lay down his life in an effort to . shield mine without asking & like sac- rifice on my part. Such are some of the sterling traits of character evinced in the everyday life of my devoted, and comrade—J.

Spokane, Washington. GIVES DEFINITION OF POWER Being a Description of That Which Knows No Variableness, Nor Shadow of Turning. Power was the beginning. It dates back to the sun. Always it has been twofold. Alternately it is repose and effort, alternately growth and birth, and always progress, Emerson Hough writes in Pictorial Review. Readiness and action in one, it is both, it is neither, it is either. The man-made motor of power purrs gently on the level, but, opposed by the activity, it summons itself, rouses and roars alike its protest and its Dean, The God-made river is power, end- less and renewed, dating back to un- ceasing snows on eternal and unchang- ing hills. At times, it ig silent, and at times tempestuous when opposed. Always it is progress. : No power ever .was or ever can be lost. It goes from the primal unit, in- to the Monad; and it endures, twofold. There is no divorce in the union of Power. The woman mated to the man | really strong never leaves him, never ceases to entwine her arms about his neck. It 1g the strong who give courage | and who offer faith, the weak who are loose lipped and unenduring. In the monogamy of purpose there is no wavering. The lion and the eagle are strong; the rabbit and the guinea pig are weak. Power is the law. We love it in its calm, fear it in its wrath. Our arms never cease to embrace It, our souls never cease to implore It. Rightfully we reverence it, rightfully do more than admire it. It is law it- self, twofold—progress and birth, two- fold, It is the ancient of days, knowing no variableness, neither shadow of turning. It is the law. It is life!

LLOWING under favorah!e conditions is a job that practically all tractors can do, bnt the tractor you want is one that can work successfully over the low, soft spots, plowed ground, hillsides, doing discing, harrowing, cultivating, seeding, manure spread- ing, etc—the tractor that can make turns, work close up to thefences, trees, stones, and go ovey gullies, ditches and washouts; and one that not only can do the work in less time than borses, but.can also get on the ground earlier in the spring and stay on later in the fall. Ac- cording to information received from the Bureau of Farm Management, U. S. Department of Agriculture, approximately 25 per cent of complaints regarding the use of tractors was because farmers could not get on the ground early enough .in the spring on ac- count of a few wet places where many of the machines could not go through. There are practically no complaints of this kind against, the Gleveland. These are some of the reasons why the Cleveland is un- questionably the best all-around tractor made. H Cleveland Tractorgis equipped with Timken bcarings, improved roller tracks, chilled lower track wheels, ssc or oat arien as in the Lath The rocker spring suspension enables the Cleveland to adapt itseJf to uneven ground. Its low gravity and great traction surface (600 square inchs) makes it practically adapted to work on hillsides. This broad traction surfacc enables it to travel easy over wet ground, soft soil, sandy and mucky ground; for this same reason it will go i i : tage. ‘ough places, through ditches, gullies, etc., and many places where horses cannot work to advan frackon Nariee the Cleveland does not mire itself down in soft and wet ground. Because of this wide Its total weight is about 3125 Ibs., which is less square inch, or one half the packing pressure of a horse’s hoof. Thus it is clear why this tractor will no bs eg peapstin ry "horas, and also why it will not pack the ground. We carry the most complete stock of parts and repairs in the Northwest.

We are We have had very good success with the Cleveland Tractor and to date can notice no wear to speak of. The machine uses about one gallon of distil- late per hour plowing, and the quantity of cylinder oil used is not worth considering—possibly a half pint per day. We are ysing 2-bottom 14 inch plows in plowing and for harrowing we use two 8-foot dises, side by side, with 4 sections of drag harrow behind them—some load.

An older man might perhaps be pardoned for slur- ring his signature; a famous man might write a signature that was quite undecipherable in itself, but that was known because it was asso- elated with him in the public mind, but a young man or a man publicly unknown should write his, name so that it can be read. “An absolutely clear signature means that the writer of It likes his own name and is ready to stand back of it and that he wants you to know it without possibility of mistake. “When I see a signature,like that I feel that the writer of it is stand- ing up like a man and looking me I feel that I know where to find him and that I can trust him. A young man could have very few characteristics or hab- its more helpful to him than that of writing an absolutely plain signa- ture.” When Milk Sours. Milk will sour in any .kind of warm and moist temperature, and because just before and during a thunderstorm the air is generally quite warm and noist, it is only natural that it should turn sour, It is wrong, however, to say or think that thunder makes milk sour, Thunder is only a noise, and noise cannot do anything but make itself heard. The fact that it is gen- eraliy warm and moist, however, when it thunders, coupled with the fact that these conditions of the air sour milk very rapidly, has led people to con- nect the two In their minds and caused them to fall into the error of believing that the thunder is responsible for the change in the milk. ob = Not a Poultry Expert. On board of his majesty’s ships two seamen were hotly engaged in an ar- gument as to the class of animal a hog belonged to, one of them asserting it was a sheep and the other equally cer- tain it was a pig. Not being able to agree, one of them that I could receive for a young man would be one written by himself in which each and every word, including turned to an old salt who was stand- ing close by, saying: “Here, Bill, you've knocked about a bit. What is a hog? Is it a pig or is it a sheep?” Whereupon Bill, after due consider- ation, replied: “Well, to tell you the truth, chum- my, I don’t know much about poultry.” —London Tit-Bits.

My wife said she forgot to get anything else. We had a nice din- ner last night, but she didn’t think we'd want anything for breakfast, I guess. Of course, eggs are luxuries, I'll admit, but one egg wouldn't fill my cavity. “The question is, why didn’t she think about breakfast just as of din- ner? That would be businesslike. No real busiuess man would run his estab- lishment without giving some thought to keeping up his stock. Breakfast is a meal just as much as dinner, Id die with only one egg for dinner. And yet she expected me to work all morn- ing on one lone shot of hen fruit. No, she isn't stingy. She just forgot to prepare for breakfast, that's all. Most women make breakfast a haphazard, eetch-as-catch-can affair, I'm against it.

Three men in Brooklyn, neighbors and friends, were sent to St. Cath- erine’s hospital recently suffering with dog bites, and were attended by the | surgeons. The men were sitting in the back yard of the residence of one of them and got into an argument | which turned into a free-for-all fight, The dog of one of the men, who was lying asleep, said to himself: “Ig not this’ a pretty picture? Men have no right to make brutes of themselves; for a difference, But since they really want to fight so badly I will teach them how to do the trick.” And so he rushed in and began to bite them terribly, not sparing his master. Stung with the Pain, they turned from knocking each other to fight the dog; but he was too much for them, and cleaned out the crowd. Completely vanquished, the men made a break for a high fence and climbed upon that, but the dog chewed the calves of their legs till they pulled themselves up out of his reach atop the fence. The dog then* went back to his corner as though saying to him- Self: “Now I guess they are cured. It will be a good while before they will disturb the peace of this hood again, or disgrace my back yard.” And they were cured, sure enough. All the. fight was gnawed out of them. They did not want to fight each other, and froin considera- tions of penitence and prudence they did not even want to fight the dog. —_________ neighbor- Sarah Orne Jewett to a Friend.
