It’s hot—the ground is hard—digging post holes doesn’t make a hit. : Just the place to try out RED TOP posts. They give you a quick, b strong fence that will stand up as long as you want it. There’s no longer any doubt about the superiority of RED TOP. In actual use it has become the standard. On thousands of farms no other post is used. d Here’s a post that doesn’t bend, buckle, break or frost heave—rot- proof and fire-proof—holds the fence perfectly taut—zives absolute lightning protection. Drives like a stake—anchors like a rock. And t6 think that it costs less installed than wood or concrete posts. You take no chance. Any RED TOP post that breaks in the fenceline will be replaced by your dealer without cost or argument. It is worth remem- bering that RED TOP is the only guaranteed fence post.

Ole Hanson has quit mayoring to go fishinz. Here’s hoping he never gets a strike. The least that . can be said for Editor Leech of Memphis, - Tenn., is that he stuck to what he-wrote. Isn’t it funny that some men who wouldn’t steal a stroke at golf will try to skin ‘their best friends in “busi- ness? & The govern- ment is going to open retail stores.

The bandwagon is getting crowd- cd with the boys who have found out that light- weight wheat makes perfectly good flour. s “f love the Constitution so much that not one word must be changed,” wails the professional patriot. “Ithink s0 much of the Constitution that I want to see it. ‘made perfect,” says the real pa- triot.
