so flocking into the valley in their
pilgrimage that the authorities are

them, and ther is call for a revival

In this valley there is always much

sometimes has too much sympathy with
the man who will not work when he

It is characteristic of the agricul-

In the dairy business there is always

In the hog business this is especially

There is no need to fit and adjust
parts to get them together right. They
are SO made that they cannot help go
together right. All bearings and BUSH
ings are easy to replace. There are
no complicated springs, 'eys. ball bear
ings or other fittings, that only an
expert can properly adjust.
Nor are there any parts of which
adjustment is frequently necessary TO
maintain good running or to conform
to varying conditions in the everyday
use of a cream separator.
De Laval Cream Separators excel
other separators not only in thorough
ness of separation. sanitary cleanli-
ness, ease of running and durability

There is nothing about the opera
ton, cleaning, adjustment or repair OF
a modern De Laval Cream Separator
which requires expert knowledge or
special tools.
A person who has never touched
separator before can, If need be, un-
assemble modern De Laval machine
down to the last part within few
minutes and then reassemble it again
as quickly. This is something which
cannot be done outside a shop with
any other separator.
The only way to properly understand
and appreciate De Laval superiority to
other separators is to look over, and
better still to try. a 1912 De Laval
machine. Every De Laval agent is
glad to afford prospective buyers the
opportunity to see and try De Laval

decide in what manner it would

in others by vote of the legislature.

when Jefferson and Burr commanded
equal strength in the electoral coll

Coming down to 1924. when Adams.

forecast with considerable certainty
that none of the four could win a
clear majority of the electoral vote
and the great question became, who
would come at the bottom of the lis,
