A person who has never before
touched a separator can, If neces-
sary, unassemble a modern De Laval
machine down to the last part with
in five minutes, and then put it to-
gether again within ten minutes.
This is something that cannot be
done outside a machine shop with
any other separator made, and any
separator user who has ever had to
wrestle with the complicated mech
anism found in other separators
will appreciate what 1t means to
him.
Don't fail to stop in and see the
NEW De Laval the next time you
are in town. Even If you are not in
the market for q separator right
now, come in and examine a sep
arator that is said by experts to
embody the greatest improvements
in cream separator construction in
the last thirty years.

cause of the war the people Of that com
munity will no doubt accept the hard
ship in a patriotic spirit. Acting Prin-
cipal Mason W. Huse, who succeeded
Principal Fl. w. Haskins when the latter
was drawn in the selective draft, has
now been called to service of the gov
eminent in the quartermaster depart
ment and will be forced to relinquish his
school duties within a short time. Few
towns have been called upon to make
such sacrifice since the entrance of the
United States into the war; and the sac
riice is particularly hard at this time
because of the fact that male teachers
are very scarce Nevertheless, it ought
to be possible for the Whitcomb high
school district to make some arrange
ment, through the medium of the states
educational department, whereby an eff
cient man can be secured to carry on the
duties of principal during the remainder
of the school year.
