Putting things through" Do you
believe In IL? Every successful farmer
does. There Is a satisfaction in push

the end and seeing II closed up, One
reason why some men fail II because
| they stop just short OF the point whore

| ~ Y. Tribune Farmer They work
| hard 10 get their work started and
| crowd II along nicely until the end is
| almost In sight, and then they drop
| back and the bottom drops out OF all
they have done.

as II we were travelling and the word
had gone out that there would be five
minutes for refreshments" Then We
are out and at II again on the keen
scoot as long as daylight lasts, and
finally go to bed wishing the day ha,
been a little longer. Is not this the
idea many men have NJ being thorough
