cA Greater Touring Car Value
The present price of the Ford
Touring Car is the lowest ever
made
And yet the car itself is a greater
value It is better looking with
slanting windshield a one-man
top ana improved seats And
there are many refinements in
chassis construction
The demand is so great that de-
liveries will soon be impossible
To protect yourself order now
Make a small down payment the

SERMON ON HOT BOXES
“Why in— don’t we go?” The
owner of the voice was a big man
in business and was in a hurry
The train the finest that Ameri-
can ingenuity could invent was
stalled You ought to have seen
that engine Twin four horse
power to burn the last word from
Baldwin’s Ten coaches filled
with people all on nerves They
talked fidgeted and were think-
ing of their connections to make
in distant cities and seaports
Yet there was the great
“Limited” standing inert and
helpless on the praries ten miles
from a city because of a measley
little Hot Box!
Trains like chains break in
their weakest places Some man
failed to grease the boxing and
it stopped the finest train that
was ever coupled together I
watched the smoke from the
burning packing whiif away lin
the wind and wondered if the
hot box realized how important
a thing it was Vain man you
may build your train finer than
the palaces of kings you can
illuminate it till it glides through
the night like a thing celestial
you can fill its boiler with power
till it moves with the majesty of
a planet but one Hot Box will put
it out of commission
— Rev J W Holland in The
Crescent
THE END OF THE TRAIL
By “Jack” Maxwell
Life is a winding trail that
leads from the cradle to the
grave and when I reach its dis-
tant end and start on the long
traverse from which no traveler
has ever- returned I hope to
leave behind— a world made bet-
ter by having lived
I want to leave in exchange
for my every wrong a right for
every frown a smile and for
each and every doubt a ray of
sunshine and hope
To leave a flower wherever I
perchanced to place a thorn
And in exchange for every heart-
ache and sorrow I may have
caused I want to leave a wealth
of joy and happiness

It Pays to Read the Ads
We are approaching the time
of year for us to observe a few
early precautions and avoid a lot
of work trouble and loss in
money
The louse that will bother your
hens most stays on them day and
night lays its eggs on the
feathers and hatches on the hen
and spends most of its time next
to the skin around the vent
under the wings and on the back
and breaHt Either of the follow-
ing methods should give you
good results in keeping your hens
free from lice if applied often
enough:
Sodium floride is UBed as a
powder or a dip As a powder a
small pinh under the wings
around the vent back and breast
—getting it down next to the
skin Floride as a-dip should
be used on warm days making
sure that it is warm enough so
the birds won’t take cold Mix
the floride one ounce to one gal-
lon of luke warm water and dip
the hens making sure that you
wet the bird’s skin
To dust the hens with some
good lice powder is a very good
lice killer
Another good treatment -is an
application of lard or vaseline
applied on the face head and un
der the wings Be cautious anc
not get too much grease on the
chickens a very small amount is
all that is needed
The mite that we have the
most trouble with is known as
the common red mite This little
fellow lives in the cracks nests
and on the roosts of the hen
house during the day and gets
on the hens at night To get ric
of him it is necessary to disinfect
the hen house and clean up
One quart of Kreso dip (can
be bought at most drug stores)
to eighteen quarts of warm soap
suds water makes a good disin
fectant Apply this mixture
with a good strong spray pump
or an old broom making sure
that you get the solution in every
crack and crevics
The stick-tight flea is brownish
in color and about the size of a
pin head Usually when on
chickens it is found on the wat
ties eyelids and base of the
comb In badly infected chick
ens you will find the fleas in
matted mass
A 5 per cent or 6 per cent mix
ture of Kreso and lard or vase
line applied on the fleas will kil
them if care is taken to see that
the mixture gets on all the fleas
One part of kerosene and two
parts of lard is a good treatment
Four parts of zenoleum in 100
parts of water sprayed in the
poultry house and yard is quite
effective

MAKING YOURSELF HAPPY
There is more good than evil
in the world There are more
beautiful things than ugly ones
And we have more pleasure than
misery if we will
Why then should we permit
our minds to be occupied with
bad things rather than with goo
ones? Why see only ugliness in
the world rather than the beauty
that is all around us? Why in-
dulge in unkind talk about our
neighbors rather than say good
things about them
It is largely a matter cf choice
We can do whatever we wish in
most things— certainly we can
control our conversation and in a
large measure we can control our
thoughts
By willing to have only pleas-
ant thoughts we can stay in a
pleasant frame of mind and
make life happy for ourselves as
well as others
People are beginning to realize
the truths You will find if you
permit your thoughts to be of the
wrong kind and your conversa-
tion to be dissagreeable that more
and more people will shun you
You may be miserable if you
prefer hut you are apt to be lone-

How can we write down 1923
as a prosperous year in business
listory? “The greatest cure for
heard times” says William
Wrigly Jr “is to stop talking
about hard times get to work
and keep money and goods in
circulation The year 1922” de-
clares Mr Wrigley "was re-
garded as a pretty bad period for
lots of concerns in the East and
Middle West For our chewing
gum business it was the best
year in the thirty years of my
history as a business man We
are spending $11000 a day this
year to push Wrigley’s chewing
gums and already we have every
reason to believe it will be a big-
ger year for us than last The
judicious use of printer’s ink iB
the greatest selling force in the
world If you do business on a
world wide basis or even in the
locality encompassed within a
few blocks you’ve got to keep
the people interested or you
won’t sell them your goods”
What has been good for Mr
Wrigley and made him indepen-
dently rich ought to be good for
a man doing business in Soper
hat’s why we invite our buai-
dess men to read the above lines

where it originated but it fit hfs
situation like it was tailor made:
“It’s no wonder that lines are
on my brow it’s hard to make a
living as things are going now
I plant nice potatoes and sit
down to watch them grow then
comes the frost a whooping and
lays the blame things low I
plant some little seedlets to raise
some succotash my neighbor’s
hens come over and knock them
all to smash I had a little arbor
in which to snooze and rest a cow
came in and climbed it and sent
the galley west I bought a
dozen egglets (which eost so
much I cried) they hatched a
lonely chicken and it went off
and died The insects ate the
cabbage the worms have nailed
the corn my horse has got the
glanlers my cow has lost a horn
my pig has got the measles and
squeals unseemly tunes ducks
are hunting water and I am full
of prunes”
