Stop the Loss of Grain Between Field and Thresher To avoid loss of grain from shattering, many farmers have adopted grain-tight racks for hauling to stack or thresher —a step in the right direction. But what about grain lost from shattering while passing through the binder, or damaged while Force Feed that automatically adjusts itself to Elevator light or heavy grain in different fields, or in different parts of the same field. The flow of grain to the packers is continuous and so gentle that there is no shattering. Relief Rake prevents trash from gathering on the inside end of the cutter bar. You don’t have to leave your seat to remove it, or carry a stick for that purpose. Come in and let us show you other features you will iike. ELLIS-SETZER COMPANY HENRY COUNTY WEEKLY, McDONOUGH GEORGIA. la operating most binders weeds catch on the inner corner of cutter bar and retard the butts of the grain, allowing the heads to be elevated first. Hence, instead of having a smooth bundle with heads all at one end, you have u BUNCH of grain. When such bundles are shocked, some of the grain heads are in contact with the ground, causing them to sprout or rot. The relief rake on the Champion keeps trash cleaned away, preventing grain being dragged through uncut. The kicking motion of the rake straightens the grain so it ascends the elevator in proper position. jP UNi Inverted Attention A colored preacher was the proud possessor of two pairs of trousers; duck for the warmer and buckskin for the cooler months, the pair not in service being hung in the attic of his home. Just prior to one of the periodic changes, hornets built a nest in the seat of the idle pair. On a Sunday morning the unsuspecting preacher donned the inhabited trousers and pro ceeded to church. The subject of the sermon for that day was ‘Heaven,” and as he warmed up to his subject the hornets went into action. In the midst of a lurid description of the Promised Land, his flourishing hands grasped suddenly at his coat-tails while language un scheduled poured from his lips. “Parson,” shouted a scanda lized elder from the Amen Cor ner, “Ah thought yo all wuz preach in’ ‘bout Hebben?" “Brudder, “demanded the harassed preacher, “How’s a man gwine keep his mind on Hebben when Hell is in his britches?” At L. G. I. it is impossible for B. Greene to be serious, Hale to smile at a girl, King to stay off the sick list, Gilbert to meet drill regularly Colclough to go to chapel or to miss going after the mail, Kspy to study his lessons, Frank Hill to be in the bar racks before taps on Saturday nights, Colclough to look pale, McKoy to miss meeting the train on Tuesday and Friday nights. “Violets are blue, roses are red, So is the hair on T. J.’s head.” —Oneita. Capt. Connell: "When 1 give the command ‘Halt’, you bring the foot that is on the ground up beside the one that is on the air, and remain motionless/’ Capt. Smith; “At the com mand ‘Light step, March’, you place the right foot out to the right fifteen inches and keep on putting it out until the com mand ‘Halt’ is given.” Wynn: 'I don’t think 1 de serve a zero on this algebra.” Miss Lancaster: “I don’t either, but that’s the lowest l am allowed to give.” Nelson was crying as if his heart would break. Bledsoe: “What’s the matter, Nelson?” Nelson “My dog died.” Bledsoe: “That,s nothing, * my grandmother died last month and 1, tn not crying about it.” Nelson: “Yes, but you didn’t raise her from a pup.” “T. J. and Oneita are a per fect match.” “Think so?” “Yes, she’s a spitfire and he’s a stick.” Waiter: “What was the mat ter with those eggs I just brought in?” Cain: “Oh, nothing much, they were just too small for their age.” Typographically Speaking Speaking of typographical errors, which, like the poor, are always with us, reminds us of a newspaper report of a wedding. The statement was made that, “The roses were punk.” Ip a later edition an apology was offered and was followed by the statement, “What we meant to say was ‘The noses were pink.’ ” None of His Business Isadore: “Ov, Oy, lkey, I shust hear de capting say the ship is going to sink.” Solomon: “Veil, let idtsink. Ve don’t own it.” There are meters of gas There are meters of light, But the best of all meters Is to meet her tonight. Didn’t some brainless idiot propose to you before our mar* riage?” “Yes, dear.” ‘(Then why on earth didn’t you marry him?” “1 did.” Mr. Smalley (given exam): Does any question emharass you?” Strickland: “Not at all sir. Not at all. The questions are quite clear. It’s the answers that bother me.” “ Mother, may I go out to night?” “No, my darling Jill,—* Father and I go out tonight; You’ll have to tend the still.” Second Mate (pointing to in* scribed plate on deck): “This is where our gallant captain fell.” Elderly Lady Visitor: “No wonder, I nearly tripped over it myself.” Lady: ‘‘Which end shall 1 get off at?” Conductor: “It’s all the same to me, lad}'; both ends stop.” They were adrift in an open boat. The waves ran mountain high. It seemed as if they were lost. Finally, one man fell upon his knees and began to pray. “O, Lord,” he said, “I’ve been a hard drinker, but if my life is spared now I’ll never again—” Wait a minute, Jack,” said the other, don’t go to far. I think I see a sail.” Small Boy (at zoo) —“Gee, mom, that giraffe looks just like papa.” Mamma (in horror) —“Willie, aren’t you ashamed?” Small Boy —“ Aw gee, the giraffe didn’t hear me.” The wobbly One —Offislier, did you she me f-fall? Officer —Yes. Then Wobbly One —Had you ever sh-sheen me before? Officer—No. The Wobbly One—Then hoW did you know it wash me? Time To Learn He (fervently): And when are you going to allow' me to kiss you? She: Come around Friday* That’s amateur night.
