R P e o R Y ADVERTISEMENTS HE tractor which will insure its owner the best profit for the greatest = number of years is, of course, the trac- tor that will stand up longest under hard service. The Gray tractor fills this one supreme requirement simply because it is built_for that purpose—to stand up as long as possis" ble under every kind of hardship. To accomplish this it has been necessary t6 carefully watch every detail and to put the best of workmanship and materials into its construc- tion. From steel frame to roller bearings, the Gray is a wonderful combination of the best and strongest in tractor machines. Built For The Mam WhoWants Good' Machinery 18H.P. on 36H.P. When farmers tell us that they have worked hard with their Grays for four, five, six years, with very small repair bills, and_that they are still going strong, it means that the Gray is built as @ tractor should be built, They also tell us that as a .general purpose machine, for strength and durability, it is certainly hard to beaf. Experienced threshermen prefer the Gray for threshingy It is equally reliable whether on the drawbar or belt. DOES NOT PACK THE SOIL The wide drive drum on & Gray tractor is one of its greatest assets. The wide bearing surface distributes the weight so that the soil under it does not pack—at the same time it levels and smooths the surface in good shape. " .. When plowing over trashy ground the wide drive drum will lay the vegetation flat so that the plow can turn it in thoroughly under each furrow, For road work it has no equal in smoothing off the dirt left by the scraper.

I have just re- ceived their statement dated December 12, together with their check dated January 7. Looks like they held my hides till the market dropped and then took' three weeks later to write their check and charge me 10 cents for the same. Maybe they are I. V. A.s. On the same day that the check was made out, on 3 falling hide market, the newspapers printed this dispatch: “CINCINNATI, Jan. 7.—Before the Reduce YOUR Hauling Cost HE #ruck is one of the most important farm imple- ments you could buy. “There- fore in choosing one be as care- ful as youwould be in choosing a mowing machine or a reaper. Extra weight fairly eats up tires, and tires cost money. Before you buy any truck anywhere at any price investigate They give the world's lowest hauling cost. The new model “48,” 2-ton, worm-drive truck weighs from 500to 2000 1bs, less than any other worm-driven truck. Vet it is super-strong to resist extraordinary strains. The Dearborn Truck has ext»a powerand is dependable under conditions that balk many heavy trucks. $ Shoe Travelers’ association yesterday, U. B. Bryne of Rochester, N. Y., the president of the association, predicted a 50 per cent advance in the prices of shoes next summer.” . C. E. RATHBONE. Maxbass, N.

The hide price schedule issued by the McMillan Fur & Wool company, of the date of-December 18, 1919, contains these figures: “Green salted native hides, 2b pounds and up, No. 1, 22 cents; No. 2, 21 cents. “Green salted kip skins, veal, 15 to 25 pounds, No. 1, 32 cents; No. 2, 8034 cents.” The price schedule also contains*this apology for lowered hide prices: “Despite the fact the coal strike is settled the hide market is still work- ing onto a lower .basis. The shortage of cars throughout the. country and the impossibility of selling leather abroad, owing to the exchange situa- tion, has brought about this result, We look for hides to-go lower still” | Shinn-Flat Rods Prevent Lightning | Losses Life is too precious and property too valu. . able to continue to take chances.
