Two complete threshing outfits, even

these days. Tuesdays wind destroyed a

out for pleasure drive and the vehicle
struck an obstruction with such force
that one of the three in the front seat-a
lady-was pitched over the dashboard,
landing on the double-trees without any
serious result, except an abrasion on the
nose, while one Of the gentlemen lost his
overcoat. Somehow, the planets were
not in conjunction that night.

and things that would ensure success
