Money In Producing Fuel.
With one Of the practical, low-priced
power log saws now on the market,
the farmer can make his farm pay
substantial profits by producing fuel
"a commodity that has held up we'll
Ii price and for which there Is an al
most unlimited demand. Then, too.
there is always steady market for
ties. fence posts and timbers that
can easily and quickly be cut with
these lightweight portable machines.
In this way the farmer, with little
work or expenses, can realize good
profits and still hang on to his grain
and live stock If he wants to, until
prices get better.
On nearly every farm in most sec
tions OF the country there is timber
in more than sufficient quantities for
home use. There are live trees that
need to be taken out to give room for
younger ones to grow, or to clear the
land for cultivation; there are dead
trees that are allowed to decay; and
on thousands Of farms, the banks Of
rivers and creeks are lined with great
logs and other drift wood.
For many years the farmer has been
Interested In, and has readily accept
ed, machinery that would save him
time, labor and money. Now he is
selling upon machine that actually
makes money for him--as well as saw
Ing him time and labor. Those who
have used the 1921 improved model
log saws say these machines come
near to being perfect saving outfits.
They do the work Of ten to fifteen

PREDICTS 800 YEARS
FOR MANS LIFE SPAN
Omaha Expert Aetuary Declares Av.
erage Length Has Increased Ten
Years in Half Century.

Chicago, Oct. 30.-Proceedings of
the ninth annual convention of the
National Association of Mutual Life
Underwriters were enlivened today
with the prediction that some day in
the not too distant future human be-
ings may live to be 800 years old.
George Bernard Shaw, who prophe-
sled in his book "Back to Methuselah"
a life of three centuries for man,
was backed up today John w. Barth,
of Omaha, an actuary who is classed
as an expert in interpreting mortality
tables and other statistics on which
insurance companies make their a.
wards.
"The human race has added ten
years to the length of life of the av-
erage man in the last fifty years, said
Mr.. Barth, and every indication
points to the fact that an equal a
mount will be added in the next fifty
years.
"When was a boy laughed at
the thought of men flying. We don't
laugh at it today. Its fact. Let US
not laugh at the idea of men living
to be 800 years old.
"Take the actual cases now. There
is record of man in Switzerland
who lived to be 335 years old. The
oldest man in the United States of
whom we have a record was a man
in Massachusetts who died just few
years ago at the age of 165.
"The advancement of the world in
the last fifty years has been very
rapid. My experience in dealing with
mortality tables in the last fifty years

WED NOT LOVING, SHE SAYS
Wife Asserts She Married Soldier to
Save Him From Disgrace


White Plains, N. Y, Oct. 3o.-Mr!
Birdie Flaerty of Mt. Vernon today
brought suit in the Supreme Court
at White Plains to annul her marri
age to John L. Flaherty, because, she
alleges she married him on the eve OF
his departure for overseas with the
Army of Occupation to save him
from prosecution by the Government
for making a false statement.
The couple were married on Aug.
21, 1919, at Manhasset, L. I. Mrs.
Flaherty in her complaint says she
never loved her husband and that she
married him to save him from dis
grace in army circles. She says that
on Aug. 21, 1918, Flaherty came
from Jacksonville and told her that
he had been ordered overseas. Mrs.
Flaherty says he told her that when
he was inducted into the army he
falsely swore that he was married
and that unless they were married
right away he might get twenty
years in a Government prison for
perjury. She says he told her if she
would go through with the ceremony
hey need never live together, and
she finally agreed.
