HOW TO STOP PULLING
UP OF CORNER POSTS

Tests made at the Minnesota Ex-
pertinent Station show that the aver
age corner post for barb wire fences
is not as strong as it should be-
POSTS with the horizontal brace and
diagonal twisted wire should have the
wire run twice around them before
twisting in under to have the strength
of four wires," says H. B. White of
the farm engineering division of the
University of Minnesota. "In the
tests at University Farm the braces
made of two wires either broke or un-
twisted. No. 9 galvanized wire should
be used. Where the AKA brace is
placed slanting, the corner post will
pull up. This can be prevented by
using crosspiece near the bottom of
the post and tamping the soil firmly
around the post or else placing the
lower end of the brace about Is inches
from the ground. With good sized
posts two wires twisted for a brace
will hold sufficiently if the AKA is
slanting."

CHEVROLET IMPERIAL
LANDAU PRICE LOWER

A new low price for Chevrolet's
latest and most beautiful model, the
Imperial Landau, which now lists at
only $745 f. o. b. Flint, Mich, was
announced today by r. H. Grant, vice.
president in charge of sales of the
Chevrolet Motor Company.
This reduction was made possible
by volume production growing out of
the tremendous demand on the part
of the public everywhere for this
Most Beautiful Chevrolet" when it
was first introduced in May of this
year, Mr.. Grant explained
Seldom has the industry seen the
warm and enthusiastic public re-
Spouse that greeted the initial offer
ing of the Imperial Landau, which
at that time was priced at $780," Mr..
Grant stated. "The output of this
model far exceeded the production
schedule.
"This great volume spelled manu-
featuring economies that the public
will share in because of the lowered
price effective today. In addition to
making our newest model available
to wider field of prospective motor
lists, the reduction is further evidence
of our aim to build the best possible
popular priced car at the lowest cost
consistent with sound merchandising
principles.
"The new low price on the Imperial
Landau gives us complete line of
cars consisting of seven passenger
models and two commercial types
ranging in price from 1895 for the
half-ton truck chassis to $745 for the
Imperial Landau"

MINNESOTA GAINS IN
cow TESTING WORK

With the organization of six new
units in July there are now 90 active
cow testing associations in Minnesota
and 10000 dairy cows under test. Four
more will be set in operation when
testers can be found to take charge
and E. A. Hansen and C. c. Geddes,
who represent the agricultural ex-
tension service of the university in
carrying on the work, forecast a total
of 100 organizations by November list.
The great abundance of hay and other
feed produced in the state this year
is the principal reason why interest
in cow testing is making such advan-
ces, they say.
States leading in COW testing work
are Wisconsin with 100 associations,
Michigan with 10, Minnesota with
80 land Iowa with 80. There is a
chance that Minnesota will close the
gap with Michigan and take second
place. But however that may be, the
number of COWS in Michigan's 10 as
sociations is less than two-thirds of
the number in the 90 associations in
Minnesota.

Mary. Mary, who must soon leave
her for some man.
In the back of her mind, when she
was honest with herself, Polly knew
that the fear was not that Mary
would marry, or leave her, but that
Mary would marry some one Of whom
she, Polly, did not approve, and who
would like, and side with, Claude
Dabbs.
It was Claude Dabbs' shadow that
darkened the sky for Polly. What
power could Claude have over her,
unless she chose to give him that pow
err The answer always Knocked her.
She was afraid of Claude Dabbs be-
cause she had treated him unfairly,
and she had always been afraid OF
him because of Mary. It had been
because Of that fear she had lived
abroad with the child for so many
years. AS Mary grew older and there
was no sign from Claude, she had
grown holder and roamed freely about
America, until like fool she had
carelessly blundered into his very
stronghold
In her minds eye, she pictured
Claude as great, fat, middle-aged
man. She knew that she was only
drawing on her imagination, and that
Mary, who had seen him, did not seem
to have been physically repelled.
Polly would, of course, expire by slow
torture before she asked Mary what
he looked like.
