fore you buy. I am selling the Deering hay rake lower this
year than last. 1 have one second hand McCormick binder on

The Old Home Town.
Do you remember the lazy fel
low who used sit around in the
grocery stores and the harber
shops in the old home town and
predict the failure of every boy
who tried to poke his nose above
the common herd? Up in the
village of Salem they used to
crack lots of jokes at the expense
of a lank and ungainly young
fellow who clerked in the village
grocery, poled flat boats on the
river, and split rails for a living.
They called him Abe in those
days. He became the president
of the United States and thou
sands from far places on the
earth have visited his tomb at
Springfield to do him honor. They
used to make fun of Bill Mc
Adoo back in the home town. Of
course you've heard of Bill. He
dug a tunnel under the Hudson
river and is secretary of thetreas
. ury now. But there are a lot of
old tada back in the old home
town who sort of hope that Bill
will fall over something yet and
land in the consomme. And Or
ville Wright was a regular joke in
the old home town. It is the old
home town itself that is the joke.
