achieved signal success They sent
Mr.. Sankey to the Pacific Coast
about five years ago to build their
factory at Portland, Oregon, and was
their manager in this city up to the
time of his resignation to assume
charge of the we'll drilling depart
ment of the Robertson Machinery Co, /.
Portland, Oregon.
They are fortunate indeed to have
secured Mr.. Sankey's services, for he
is undoubtedly the best informed
man in the oil and we'll drilling bust
ness on the Pacific Coast today. All
who are interested in the oil and we'll
drilling business should make it a
point to put their problems up to Mr..
Sankey, who will advise them fully
and intelligently upon any question
that they may need help. He knows
the we'll drilling business thoroughly.
Write him at any time when you
are in need of information and adj
vice. And when you are in Portland
make it point to call and become
acquainted personally with Mr..
Sankey.
He is very enthusiastic over his new
connection as member of the firm
of the Reierson Machinery Co.. and
states that his reason for SO being is

Authority on Well Drilling.

Few men in any line of business
have had as varied experience in their
particular line as has Mr.. j. f. Sankey
in the we'll drilling business. One
often finds men who have had factory,
office and selling experience all COM
bined, but in Mr.. Sankey, we find a
man who has had not only all OF these,
but has in addition been actively
engaged in the manufacturing and
operative end of the we'll and oil
drilling business. His experience in
the field extended over twenty years.
This gave him wide knowledge of
the problems of the driller at first
hand. After this he was employed
in the Star Well Drilling Machine
Co. s factory and put by them on the
road for number of years where he

These startling figures announced
by Sam Thompson maker of the Fair
field Incubator explode the old feeling
that chicken raising is side issue :
a pastime for women and children
but not worthy of the attention of
nen.
Mr.. Thompson announces that the
20, 600 or more men and women who
will buy his Fairfield Incubator dur
ing 1912 will make $1,000, 600 more
profit during the year. The Fairfield
is a real wealth producer because it
is creating for the farmer and his wife
a substantial profit which otherwise
they would not have.
The ordinary incubator matches 40
to 80 per cent. The Fairfield matches

The Auto Wagon as an Aid to
the Fruit Grower.

Wonderful progress has been made
in the improvement and development
of motor driven vehicles in the past
decade. They have passed through
the experimental stage and have been
placed on a practical basis. 1T is a
demonstrated fact that the motor
driven vehicle of today gives a service
that cannot be obtained from a flesh
and blood animal.
That a motor-driven vehicle is a
profitable investment for the modern
business man is no longer matter of
conf ecture-it is a conceded fact.
The questions that confront the pros
pective pun chaser Of the motor truck
are: Which truck is best adapted to
my business? Will give the best
service? Is simple in construction
and operation? Can be operated with
least expense? Will best meet the
required road conditions? Give salts
factory service the year round? Is
sold at a reasonable price? These
questions he must answer for himself
after studying his conditions, and
after careful investigation Of the
different makes of cars on the market.
Mr.. Issac E. Andrus, a fruit grower
at Missoula, Montana, was confront
ed with a problem OF this kind. His
deliveries could not be made with the
equipment he had. To buy additional
horses would mean much additional
expense, because horses must be fed
whether they are in use or not. He
solved the problem by purchasing a
motor driven vehicle.
Mr.. Andrus says: "Owing to my
rapidly growing trade in the city, re-
curing several trips daily, each trip
covering from seven to ten miles,
found it neces sary to either increase
the number of horses and vehicles or
purchase something more speedy.
CATER careful deliberation, [ pur-
based, in June, an auto wagon for
use in delivering the products of my
twenty-acre fruit and produce farm.
| can safely say that, as a business
proposition. l consider it one of the
best ever made, for can now handle
my business with speed and comfort.
My best record. however, was made
on November 23rd, when l made six
trips into the city, covering dis.
lance of more than forty miles and

package fruit"

THE IRISH SONG THAT WON
FIRST PRIZE

1t has always been commended that
the key to success in song writing is
and always will be. originality. The
public is always craving for something
new-something away from the last
popular thing-be it a play, novel,
painting, melody or song.
1t is an unusual thing to find a new
song that is entirely orininal-espec-
tally if same is an Irish song. Jerome
H. Remick & Co., have had a great
demand for new Irish song. and
concluded to offer special inducements
in the shape Of cash prize and ex-
ira large royalties to any team on
their staff that would supply them VIII
a new and original Irish song. The
prize was awarded to Williams and
Van Alstyne, two of the best-k known
writer's in thecountry, and the song
that won the prize is entitled My Irish
Giir. 1t has proved gem in every
particular Williams is typical r.
ish-American. while Van Alstvne is of
Dutch parentage, but as the famous
John T. Kelly once remarked, .the
Dutch and the Irish always go togath-
er. especially on St Patricks Day,
and, indade, you will always find the
Dutch leading the parade for where
