While eating their dinner in the

Der company Thursday a steam pipe
gave way and caused a draft through
The fire box which brought the flames
through the front and badly burned

The amount of improved farm
machinery which is being sold this

tory. The improved farm machinery
does away with farm hands and does
the work in q better manner.
