My grandmother came from Eng
land when she was 24, writes a corre
spondent. She worked for a cousin
who hod a large farm. The hired man
fell In love with her and they planned
to be married secretly.
One Sunday night when the family
were asleep they walked to the nearest
town, seven miles, and roused the
minister, but he told them they must
have a license. Grandmother went
back to the farm and her beau footed
It to the county seat, thirty-five miles,
and returned next day with the license.
After the family retired that night
the couple stole away to town again,
the minister opened the window, ex
amined the license l»y candle light,

Bolshevism
Everything that falsely en
courages unrest also encourages
bolshevism.
Misunderstanding of Amer
ican industrial organization, and
of its benefits to mankind, leads
to unrest, dissatisfaction, and
radicalism.
For example, the Federal
Trade Commission tells the pub
lic that the large packers had an
agreed price for lard substitute
(made of cotton-seed oil.)
It reproduces letters taken from
the files of one of the packers,
showing that such agreed price
existed.
But it failed to mention that
the agreed price was deter
mined at the request of and in
co-operation with the Food
Administration!
Even the Department of Jus
tice, in its unjust attempt to
create prejudice against the
packers, has made public these
same letters, with no explanation.
How long must this kind of
misrepresentation continue? In
so far as it is believed, it not
only breeds discontent, but re
sults in injustice to our industry.

THE NORTHERN STATES HAVE ADOPTED THE S6 11 AUTO TRACK WAGON
-Which Wagon?
The One that Fits the Road—or the One that Rides the Ridge
Recommended by the Government
The slar.dardii.eci wagon fits the pre
vailing track made by automobiles and
is the wagon yc-u will want to buy.
This Wagon is Oat cf Date. This 60"
wide track wagon no longer fits the
roads when they are muddy and soft.
W OULDN'T you rather buy the style of wagon recommended by your Government,
especially when it is designed to pull easier, ride smoother, and last longer — the
wagon that fits the roa.es and does not ride the ridge?
The Standardised Weber “Auto-track” Wagon saves wear on itself, other wagons,
automobiles, and rubber tires.
The Weber fifth wheel and swivel coisr ling wagon is either sold at a price much too low
or moil other vragoru r r *<r ?d at pricecY.iuch too high, t, Jily ccr.bidertd. Compart and drew »our own conclusion.
To date the leading wagon manufacturers of An • iica hove sold at the most conservative estimate 100,000
standardized uuto-iraci. w.gone. From this introduction it is but a step to universal use of lhi» type.of wagon.
Wouldn’t you vather be identified V'iih progrcuo end recognized as an up-to-date farmer by doing your hauling
with such a wagon than to be cla.-aed as an unprogressive “ back number ” by buying a 60-inch wide-track
wagon, therefcy helping »cr.:c manufacturer and dealer to “unload” an obsolete type? Think it ovez*»and then
come and ace U§ about a standardized auto-track Weber. *
