GOOD AND BAD

Social activity is good for any town
But social activity that is divided
Into a lot OF hide bound and jealous
ciiques is detriment.
Cliques breed jcalousies, and jeaI-
ousy creates antagonism. and antag-
onism is the tool that digs the grave
OF prosperity and achievement.
A prosperous. happy and contented
community that mingIes freely and
unres,rictedly is a garden spot in the
sands OF life.

.CAVEAT EMpTon GOOD
LATIN AND GOOD SENSE
Purchaser Should Especially Be
Wary When He Invests
His Money

The phrase "Caveat Emptor"-
let the buyer beware-is good La
tin; 1t is a good abiding principle
of law, and it is most excellent
common sense.
Since the earliest times, failure
properly to scrutinize purchase
for patent defects has eliminated
the possibility of recovery on the
grounds of fraud. II man buys a
pair of shoes which contain a de-
feet perfectly obvious upon close
examination, the dealer is well
within his rights IL he refuses to
exchange them or return the money.
1t is only where the defect is lat
ent, not visible to inspection, and
the article is represented as per-
feet, that action for fraud may
lie.
Yet the warning "Caveat Emp
tor" is neglected every day by thou
sands of Americans in making in
vestments. They would not buy a
horse or an automobile without
careful examination and inspection,
yet they buy millions of dollars
worth of worthless and speculative
stocks merely on the glib assurance
of a salesman without a thought OF
investigation. AS consequence,
hundreds of millions of dollars in
Liberty Bonds and savings have
been lost to investors within the
last year.
The latest defects in any ordinary
investment are a source OF con-
slant danger and are closely search
ed for by experienced investors, but
when Liberty Bonds and savings
are exchanged for a mere promise
of profits by persons unknown. the
danger of loss is infinite.
There is one investment, howev-
er, which contains neither latent
or patent flaws or defects. That
investment is government securi-
ties. War Savings Stamps, Treas
ury Savings Certificates, and Liber'
ty Bonds will bear the closest ex'
animation and inspection. They
are safe, sure and profitable be
cause they are backed by the whole
strength of the nation, our nationa
riches, and the possessions and en-
deavors of every citizen.

PRAISES SALVATION ARMY

Eddyville, Ky
The story of how Chas. Douthitt,
a convicted murder sentenced to
die, then forgotten, being left in his
cell in death row at the Eddyville
Penitentiary and how he was finally
saved from the Electric Chair-is
told in a recent letter to Adjutant
James Thompson, Prison Worker in
Kenucky for the Salvation Army.
Chas. Douthitt, is now serving a
life lsaptence at Eddyville having
been saved from the Electric Chair
through the instigation of Adult
ant Thompson. The letter of the
convicted man in part is as follows:
Eddyville, KY, June 10, 1920.
Adjutant James Thompson,
Salvation Army Headquarters,
| Preston & Chestnut SITS.
Louisville, Ky.
Dear Brother Thompson:
/ would feel myself very unap-
preciative indeed were | not to give
you an expression of my heart for
what you have done for me, and in
this testimony Joe Hughes wishes
to join.
To you and your untiring efforts
we owe our lives and our freedom
from the Electric Chair. We realize
that if we had had the admonita-
tions and good advice that you have
given us, taught us in young boy
hood days our career in life would
have been quite different and we
would have today been enjoying
the freedom of the world as youth
citizens.
We were not blessed with the
early training of Christian Home.
Joe's mother died when he was on
ly an infant, and his father was
not a christian. Neither of my
parents were christians. In early
life we both chose to associate with
vile and wicked boys, where we
learned all of the allurements lead
ing to a reckless life. We engaged
IN all games of chance, craps, card
playing, whiskey drinking. and
pistol toating, which all lead the
young men on the downward road
to destruction. to jail, penitentiary
and as in our case to the Electric
Char, but thru your coming into
our lives and prayers We have been
snatched from this awful death.
/ have witnessed eight victims
of the Electric Chair as each was
/ being led to their doom; and each
placed his hand between the bars
TO bid us farewell to this world, We
knew not but that within the next
few days we would in like manner
extend our hand thru the same bars
TO bid others goodbye as we were
The Hartford herald., 1920-07-07

led to the Chair. But Brother
Thompson we feel that thru your
efforts and your prayers we have
been spared, for what, we hope, to
be useful purpose.
To the man who feels he has not
a friend in the world he has only
to turn and appeal to your noble
organization for relief. When the
poor wretch has fallen so low that
there seems no hope, we see the
uniform of the Salvation Army ap-
preaching with outstretched hand
to comfort and console. May God
continue to bless your efforts in the
future as He has done in the past
is our prayer.

THRACTOR TROUBLE
Is DUE TO OILING

Lexington, Ky.-Over fifty per
cent of all tractor troubles are due
to incorrect fabrication. The writ
er saw few days ago a four cylin-
der tractor motor which had been
badly broken up due to the ignor-
ance and carelessness of the opera
tor.
A farmer borrowed the tractor
from a neighbor and he let an in
experienced hired man operate it.
One of the oil pipes in the force
feed fabrication system leaked but
the operator neglected to fix it or
to watch his oil gauge on the crank
case, and before he noticed it,
enough oil was lost to allow the
cylinder to get dry. The piston
stuck and. the connecting rod broke
in cylinder No. /, which in turn
broke the cylinder wall and the
crank case.
Due to the ignorance of this
operator, it will cost the farmer
about 5000 for repairing the trac-
tor in addition to having to do with
out it Just at the time when every
hour of work in the field means so
much in getting the work done at
the proper time.
The following suggestions if put
into practice will eliminate many
troubles.
/. Never depend upon another
man to lubricate the tractor
you expect to run, but be sure
personally that every part is
properly oiled.
2. Study your instruction book,
and learn how, when and
where to lubricate.
8. Use only the kind of oil reco'
mmended by the manufacture
er OF your tractor.
4. Watch the oil indicating de-
vices and be sure that they
! are working properly.
5. Follow the manufacturers in
struction as to how often t
change the oil in the cranl
case of your motor. Learr
how to tell when the oil has be
come so diluted by the heav!
fuel oils working down pas
the piston rings that its lubr
cation properties have beer
destroyed.
! Further suggestions in regard tt
the care, the repair and use of trac
tors may be obtained by writing t.

sity of Kentucky, College of Agri
culture, Lexington, Ky.

Combines Ease of Operation
with Good Work

You will also appreciate the John
Deere Corn Binder because it is easy on
the horses. The Quick-Turn Tongue Truck
takes off all neck weight, and makes it just
easy to turn at the ends as if the horses were
hitched to wagon.
Besides, the truck takes off side draft
and prevents sluing because the axle of
the truck is fiexibly mounted-the wheels bold
to uneven ground constantly.
The John Deere works successfully IN
ali kinds OF corn fields. The wide throat,
with flexible throat springs, holds the corn into
the conveyor chains. The bottom conveyor
chains operate close to the butts, carrying the
corn back in vertical position all of the way
The three packers, one working above:
the needle and two below, insure we'll
formed bundles. The three discharge arms dis
charge the bundles onto the power carrier. No
chance of the discharging bundle mixing with
the bundle being made.
The Hartford herald., 1920-07-07

It's genuine satisfaction to
drive the John Deere Corn Binder
round after round, and see the
standing corn transformed into
well-shaped, easily-handled bun
dies, because the hard work is all
taken out.
The power carrier does away entirely
with the hard work-you don't have to
dump the bundle carrier and return to po-
sition hundreds of times during the day.
On the John Deere you press the foot
trip lever and the power carrier does the
rest-it delivers the bundles free of the path of
the horses, and practically parallel to the stand
ing corn. The horses don't have to tramp over
and on the bundles. Because the carrier is al
ways in receiving position, no bundles are scat
tered between the windows.
