pretended. She was as unsettled and
expectant as the children. The tree
was trimmed, the candles all ready for

Finally she leaned closer to the pane
and strained her glance. A speck Of
luster held her vision until it had re-
solved itself into mingled colors Of
red, white and blue.

ordered. 1--WE will all go out and look

down as the group discovered "the

came clearly distinct in the crystalline
air and there settled to earth-Willis
Thorne's airship driven by Boyd Wis
ner.
Forth from the amazing air vehicle
stepped form familiar to the wonder

Twenty miles distant, lovable and
loving Muriel Lane looked out upon

old farm home. Her six little brothers

1t was the first time 1t had rung for

WHEAT TO SELL
FOR So IN 1920
How to Get From S to Is More Bush
els Per Acre and Prevent Winter.
Kill and Soil-Blow.

Any farmer can easily make a lot
of money from wheat in 1920 if he
will watch the signs of the times.
South American crops can't be
shipped on account of lack of boats
Russian fields are implanted, while
Australian crops are killed by drouth.
Less than one-half the usual acreage
is planted in the U. S.. Spring wheat
recently sold for SO in Minneapolis.
These facts insure wheat being high
er than ever before in 1920-$3 to
$3.50 certain.
Next spring thousands of farmers
will find their wheat so damaged by
winter-kill that they will pillow it up
but not the farmer who guarantees
his crop by spreading straw-he will
get from 5 to Is more bushels per
acre and make more wheat money
than ever before. Straw spreading
not only prevents winter-kill and soil
blow, it also has more fertilizing val
ue than manure, according to ex-
perts, and adds greatly to land val
ues.
A wonderful invention makes it
easy for any farmer to straw-spread
his entire field in to 10 days-a
simple, scientific machine that will
spread either light, wet, rotten or
chunky straw or manure 20 to rs
feet wide-10 to 20 acres a day.
Readers will be glad to know that
they can get just such a machine in
the Simplex Straw Spreader on a 30
day guaranteed trial with a year to
pay. AS the Simplex costs much less
than 500 it easily pays for itself
from 5 to 10 times the first year.
A wonderful, illustrated book,
"How Straw Spreading Increases
Crop Yields" tells all about straw
spreading and how it benefits all
crops. Mr.. L. D. Rice, President,
Simplex Mfg. Co., Traders Bldg,
Kansas City, Mo-, says he will gladly
send copy of this interesting book
free to any reader of this paper. My
advice is to write him today-no OBJ
legation and your name on a card will
do. settle
