months. Beth was getting her trous-
seau and seeing about an apartment
and doing the many things she seemed
to feel it was essential to do before
getting married.
The only cloud now upon her hori-

EASY NOW TO SAW LOGS
And CUT DOWN TREES

Only one man, or eve a boy, with
the improved Ottawa Engine Log Saw
can easily cut twenty-five to forty
cords a day, and at a cost of less than
&c per cord. This machine, which out
does all others, has a heavy, cross cut
saw driven by a powerful especially
designed 4-cycle gasoline engine. It's
a fast money-maker for those using it,
and does more than ten men could do,

or buzzing branches qDhile you rest.
When not saving, the engine can be
used for other work requiring power.

persons. So did the wild, undeveloped new

Just the same thing over and over again.
The troublesome if not the worst criminal
element we nave today is made up of the
body of malcontents known as nihilist,
bolshevists, syndicalists, reds. etc. They
advocate murder, arson, destruction, ev-

their own.
Why not indulge them? Way not let
them experiment? Why not congregate
the whole gang and let them have a try
at doing things their own way? If doesn't
