80 cents invested ina Ledger want
ad brings rapid and profitable re-
turns. On her way to church Sunday
morning Mrs. Anderson lost a ,.pin
set with five large diamonds and the
same number of Oriental pearls. She
was greatly depressed at the loss,
not only because of the great value
of the pin but also because it was
given to her fifteen years ago by her

way to town about noon Sunday
when they found the pin on the walk
near the Chicago and Alton Railway
Station. The boys took the pin home
to Mrs. Lambert, whoeas soon al she
saw the advertisement in the Led
ger, sent the pin down to the office
where it was identified by Mrs. An

broken off of the pin, IL probably by
being stepped on by some passerby,
but these were found by the boys and
a easily be replaced. y
Mrs. Anderson expressed herself
as delighted not only with the
promptness of the boys in returning
the pin but also with the excellent
service of the Ledger classified ad

tisement, Mrs. Anderson had written
letters to the chief Of police at Kan

ever received from the Senator. Inquiry on her part disclosed that e

In fact, she was one of the most actce women in the movement which

Who is going to do the farming
the next few years? This: is easily
answered. THE MAN WHO MOD

EXISTENCE, will remain with his
chosen profession and make money.
The Tractor and Truck are actually

Do you know a banker who would
discard his adding machines, type
writer and other improved methods
and hire clerks with pen and pencil
to do this work. NO, NOT ONE?
Why not? Because they are not as
efficient and too expensive. The
banker and business man faced the
same problems in their profession
that you are facing in yours today.
They solved their problems by. mod
ernizing. This too, is your salvation.
The issue is staring you squarely in
theface, either modernize or permit
your gentleman friends who has, to
tell you how sorry he feels for you,
after taking the few remnants left to
help pay his bill.
