The Acme Stacker is made of care

is any strain In operation. BY means
of sleeve casting on extension timber,
elevator arms can be raised easily and
quickly as stack progresses, so as to
deposit load in center of stack of any
height.
The "Monsrch" is the only sweep
rake that can be folded to pass through
an ordinary farm gate, which is point
sure to be appreciated by every farmer.
The levers are all within easy reach,
and are so arranged that a boy can
easily lift all the hay that can be
loaded on the rake. This is the only
sweep rake built that will admit Of
teeth being raised clear of the ground
for transportation when heavily loaded.
The wheels, braces, trusses, levers and
seat springs are all Of the best grade Of
steel.
The well-earned reputation Of the
above machines is that they are the
cheapest and most effective of all hay
ing devices. They will do more work
with less expense and labor than any
other known mode of handling hay.

the penalty is not sufficiently
severe to cause men to pay what

tions. and not merely 10 occupy
Them.

1t is not alW ays that young men full
ly comprehend the vast difference in
the two forms of expression used a
bOve. There are plenty of young peo-
pie TO be found who are desirous of
occupying positions, but too few who
are prepared and resolved properly to
fill them. When our cities and towns
are over-run with applicants for em-
ployment, our merchants, mauufactur-
ers and artisans are in pressing need
of those who can not only fill the posi-
tions assigned them. but expand them
10y their own efforts. They want vol
unteers i'm hard work who are willing
to shoulder esp0nsibilities and per-
form irksome duties if their employers
interests demand them; who can dis
cover work, perform il and make
themselves Indispensable. They want
young men full of energy, full of rest
less vitality, who can lay both hands
on work, and make it an earnest, vi
tai issue.
Now and then young man steps
aside from the common crowd and la
bors steadfastly, with energy, zeal and
faith. In a few years men wonder at
his success, but there is no magic IN
the result. He was simply industrious
and determined. One such lad is
worth score of those who take pos
ition only for the salary it brings.
No work to him is irksome; no duty
repugnant. His eyes light up, and

which h" is placed he pours vitality,
and fills it with fresh life. He per-

gentlemen in subordinate positions,
and in subordinate positions they
have remained. They worked with
out heart, and went about their duties
in that lazy, shittless way that made
it irksome for their employers to ask
of them what they had Il right to eX-
pect. He is the successful man be-
cause he was the true boy, and did not
