he farmer who makes every step
count and who gets the best work
out of his tools and machinery. is
never heard to grumble that farming
does not pay. The best machinery is
necessary to the successful farmer.
and when he finds machine that will
do great variety of work at a
ridiculously small expense he at
once secures that aid. Over in Sagi-
nav they make the Michigan Five
Horse, which in our opinion no
farmer can afford to be without.
1t is an engine run by gasoline at a
cost almost nothing. 1t is adapted TO
shell and shred corn, grind feed and
stalks, saw wood, drill wells. and to
many other labor-saving purposes. It
is simplicity itself, having fewest
parts and those are most easily got
at. 1t is by far the best make Of any
OF the gasoline engines which farm
ers are now using so extensively. Its
makers have had IS years expert
ence. They make several other mod
els. all Of them as perfect as the
Michigan Five-Horse, and will be
pleased 10 send an illustrated book

now is S125.OOO,OOO. \ great cloud
was lifted when it was discovered tlmt
practically all of the vaults and strong
rooms and safes of the financial con
Germs whose buildings were destroyed
are unhurt. \ tremendous loss in So
curities had been anticipated here, and
when vault after vault yielded up its
treasures unharmed the joy of the
guardians was boundlcss. From one
trust company safe alone papers to
the amount of more than S2OO,OlO.OOO
were recovered.
Another surprise was the discovery
that two financial concerns whose
homes were directly i'm the fiercest
sweep of the flames were practically
unframed These were the Brown
Brothers bank and the Mercantile
Trust company. These buildings were
only four stories high and the flames
swept over them. Still another re
markable freak of the fire was the re.
cape of the big government buildings
