save far more than the cost

WITH THE great contribu-

modern farming methods,
we are nearly stopped with-
out it. Many of our mechaniz-
ed farm operations depend
upon electricity. With the
snow season approaching and
possible icing conditions, we
again mention the place of
the stand-by power unit to
be used in case of emergency.
Generators that may be op-
erated by the farm tractor
could fulfill a very useful
purpose.

Three hundred Pennsyl-

number horse show that
highlighted exposition enter-
tainment.
Twenty-three judging teams
from 19 states, another rec-

NONE OTHER
That ‘“villanous” charact-
er you heard described dur-
ing the political debate is
none other than the nice
neighbor who decided, in a
weak moment, to run for po-
litical office.

Much of the lost faith in
heaven may be due to the
assumption that marriages
are made there.
