THIS IS A REAL

No investment pays better than
a purchase of space in live news

Prudent buyers are constantly ON

OK TEAMS vs..
AUTOMOBILES

When we drove Buch and Bright
as a boy on the Wisconsin farm it
was very rare that we had a colli-
son;or that anything skidded. Once
in a while they would turn the har-
row upside down when turning too,
short but no one had to hustle to
escape another OK team coming full
speed. When the oxen were super
seded by pair of steers we used &c
fatten them on pumpkins and rye
meal and hang the meat on the
wall around the stove-p:pe and
Jerk it for the kids to take to
school for their dinners. You can't
eat an automobile when lit is worn
out and neither can you make shoes
OF its hide ;that S what we used to
do with old Buck and Bright;aI.d
Duke and Dime took their places af.
ter Buck and Bright were eaten.
ON those good old days people d,1d'n
get dizzy watching the fashions
change. Girls walking around i'm
dlaphanous night shirts were called
sonnambulis now some of them ar
called moving pictures" and all YOU
have to do is to look to see the
move. Britt Tribune.

AUTOS AND THE
GROCERY BILLS
One voter in five owns an auto.

One voter in five owns an auto.
Mars shalltown Times Beputlican.
How many of the one-fifth have
their autoes fully paid for and how
many are permitting the grocer and
printer to whistle" for his-Ackley
World
The place to answer that question
lis at home. 1t is probably true that
nine autos out of every ten, perhaps
ninetyfive out of 100 that come into
Ackley have been paid for when pur
chased. That is probably true of the
automobiles that ply the country
roads and the streets of Marshall
town. 1t is possible that some OF
the owners borrowed the money to
buy theirs and that they owe some
or all that they borrowed but gene1
ally speaking the Iowa auto owner
is able to have it, 1t lis likely that
man than the garage.
At amy rate aren't we taking a
great deal of trouble over automo-
biles and the possibility that some
one owes for his? Generally a man
can't owe much unless he has credit
and the fact that he has credit sug.
gests that he knows enough to take
care of him self fairly we'll and has
managed to pay off past i'm

SURVEY OF THE
CATTLE INDUSTRY

The Live stock would predicts an
other shortage. next year because of
the marketing of cattle that should
have been held over to stock up the
herds. 1t reveals no sign of relief
for packers or consumers.
There is shortage Of corn fed
cattle ranging f.om forty to seven
ty five per ct. according to locality
compared with last year. And while
Montana and the Dakotas may con-
tribute as many grass steers as
in 1913 the proportion of trash will
be much larger.
Kansas pastures are thirty to thir-
ty five per cent short of their US
ual quote.
Little can be expected from Canada
and Mexico is joke as far as beef
raising is concerned. If common
cattle We're as plentiful as in former
periods the prospects would be les
serious,
Should the corn crop prove to be a
hamper one securing stockers to CO.
vert into beef will be we'll nigh i'm
possible.

dent of ehe Babies Health Contest
to be held at the Iowa Statt Fair
August 26th to September 4th re-
ports that large numter of
farm parents are planning to en-
ter their babies in this years con-
test. Mrs. Watts states that there
is no doubt jun the minds of farm
parents as to the manner IN which
these annual contests are conducted
Some parents are under the i'm
pressiom that babies are kept ON
the fair grounds throughout the
eanire contest. This is not the
case. Appointments are made with
the parents of the various en-
tries and the balies are kept on
the fair grounds but a short time
not more than an hour or SO at
the most.
During this tin they are
accompanied and If desired are
cared for by either one of
the parents
Mrs. Watts adds the rather int-
teresting comment by the way
the babies behave better for the
father than for the mother"

One chinch' bug
One Hessian fly

Advancing each before it's kind
They gave the wiggle-wag behind
And answering with buzz and whiz
Their trusty troops invaded viz:
One wheat field
One field of Oats
One corn field
One potatoes patch
The farmer slumbering in his bed
While pleasant fancies roamed his
head {
And dreamed of getting after a bit
A few farm luxuries to-wit;
One automobile
One lighting plant
One Tractor
One S.lo. :.
But where the setting sun had
shown j.
On opulence remained a bone
Clean picked as frost denules the

And what the farmer had were thes
One sale
One trip to new farming

One trip back again
One start all over.-Ex.
