GOOD FOR TWENTY MORE
A Mccormick Binder That William
HsntEe Has Us"d for Twenty
Two Years.

Possibly no stronger testimonial Of
the care, workmanship and material
used in the construction Of the Nc
Cormick brand Of farm implements
could be given than the fact that one
Of the old-fashioned Mccormick bin
ders has Just completed its tweuty-
second consecutive year Of cutting in
Nodaway county-and is good for
twenty or twenty-five years more.
Here Is the story Of this substantial
piece Of machinery as told By the daily
Nodaway Democrat Forum Of Mary
VILE. which says:
william HaHtze has a Mccormick
binder at his farm a mile and a half
northwest of Orrsburg that he is run
ming the twcnty-secoud season and he
, says that he has spent not TO exceed
S. in repairs for worn parts in all
these years. And the long life of the
binder is not due TO the fact that il
has not cut much grain. Mr.. Hantze
aoys that while he has not a very
large crop Of grain this year. he has
cut as hlSh as 100 acres in season
with the machine. The only worn
parts mat have been rep'a0es i the
upper elevator canvas and the small
drive gear pinion. a gear wheel oa
me oUna'a apparatus was broken once
by accident.

The Great Rock Island System TO In

seventy Years Of Service" is the
heading to an anniversary program
that has just come to this office It
is that OF the Rock Island system
which. on October 10, will celebrate
its scvcatieth birthday. In the pro-
gram is one item that should appeal
to all municipalities. owners Of homes,
employers Of labor, social workers,
and everyone who has the bettcrment
Of the people at heart. This is plan
to plant anniversary trees at suitable
points on the system as a means OF
beautifying station grounds, also to
plant honor trees to retired employees.
Some municipalities, instead of
erecting stone monuments, planted
trees in memory Of the men who made
the supreme sacrifice in the world
war. No finer memorial could be del-
icated to the citizen soldiers devotion
to his country. Man may chisel and
hammer a monument from stone
that has no life. but only the hand Of
God can create a living tree. whose
every influence is Identifying, uplift-
ing and ennobHng
The most progressive corporations
retire and pension the employee who
has a record Of long and honorable
service. This plan goes still further
in the planting OF honor trees, which
will beautify and keep green the mem
ory Of an honor man for generations
after his work is done. The families
OF he young men in service were
proud to show a service star. Their
service was as generous as that Of the
ones who died What better service
star could be exhibited than n hand
some tree planted I'm front OF the
home of the service man, or at some
other suitable place?
This idea Of the Rock Island should
be amplificd throughout the country.
The man who, on farm or elsewhere.
beauties his home surroundings takes
one Of the first steps towards succees.
4 1t is a fact also 70 be noted that on the
prairie farms Of the west ana sou,h-
west the farmers who are making a
success Of their business almost in
variably are among those who are
planting trees and getting more out
Of life. And in the towns and cities
also the most progressive are always
those with parks and Fairgrounds.
Then there is an economic feature
10 this plan that represents untold
millions. This is the matter of for
estation. Our civilization depends up
on lumber. The farmers alone con
sumo half the lumber produced every
year Take it away from them and
the towns ana cities would starve
/ There Is not an industry I'm the coun-
try that is not In some way based up
on lumber. our consumption is equa'
to that Of all The rest Of the world
and we are using it now three or -four
times as fast as It is growing. II vii
