Wedding
Gifts
The prevailing idea of baying
Table Silver in compact cases
or more or less elaborate chests has developed a practical
and interesting lot of assortments.
For the bride nothing is nicer than a complement of pretty sil
ver either in Sheffield or Sterling. We show them ranging from
a modestly priced set in a case to a chest that bears the mark
of quality and elegance. You are invited to see our display.

Resigned to Fate.
In the early days of the war a group
of optimistic young men assembled at
the utticers’ training camp at Fort
Myer, Va., with all the necessary ap
purtenances of officers, from spurs to
an extra pair of Held glasses. Later on,
ns It became necessary for the authori
ties to hand out little pink slips and
one-way tickets home, it grew into a
custom for the departing candidates to
auction off Ids equipment.
One Saturday morning Captain
Blank said sharply to Candidate Jones
of Company X:
“Mr. Jones, drill the company.”
Mr. Jones stepped forth. Taking his
place before the company, he was sud
denly stricken dumb.
“Well?" demanded the captain with
h strongly rising Inflection.
Jones gulped. “Wh-wh-what am I
offered for my truck locker?" he stam
mered.—Home Sector.

Riding a Cultivator
* Under a Sizzling Sun
is no soft job. You can make the day’s work easier
by using the cultivator shown here because just an
easy, swaying motion of the body swings the seat
to either side and guides the gang. / It is easy for a
boy to operate the
Avery “Joy Rider”
Side levers after being set
to give the desired depth of
cultivation need not be
touched, making it easy
when turning.
Standards can be tilted so
sweeps clean the bed. The
distance between gangs is
changed without stopping
the team, and wheels can be
set as close together as 40
inches or as far apart as 48
inches. .
Come in and let us show
you this cultivator and tell
