r " is a well-known medical fact, that
Iron is a necessary constituent of the
blood, and that blood lacking iron is
the cause of many troubles that only iron
will cure.
Ziron, a scientific compound of iron
with other valuable ingredients, is the
remedy to take when your blood needs
more iron, and your system requires a
tonic. Ziron is mild and harmless, does
not stain the te*th. and is good for chil
dren as well as adults.

Plow Now! After Harvest
The Department of Agriculture
tells you that the sooner you
plow after the erpp is harvested,
the better your crop the follow
ing year will be. Early plowing
will make the difference in the
yield of from 3 to 6 bushels per
acre in corn or grain. Multiply
this by 50, 100, or 150 acres and
you can very easily ' figure out
for yourself how an efficient
tractor like the Samson will soon
pay for itself.
The Samson will help earn its
cost in many other ways too. It
isn't a seasonable machine. It’s a
three-hundred-and-sixty-five day
worker. It’s utility is limited
only to the inclination of its
owner. j

And the sooner you buy one, the
more it will earn for you in better
