BUY IHC Wagons (or True Economy
YOU cannot farm without a wagon any
more than you can keep house without
a stove. You work your wagon oftener
and harder than anything else on the farm.
Buy a wagon that lasts longer than the aver
age. It is an easy thing to do, even though all
wagons which are painted alike rpay look alike.
The difference in wagons is underneath the
paint. It is the material and workmanship,
entering unto the construction of I H C wagons,
Weber New Bettendorf
Columbus Steel King
which make them the best wagon investment/
We want every purchaser to convince himself
before buying, that when IHC wagons are
advertised as having oak or birch hubs, hickory
axles, and long leaf yellow pine box bottoms,
these are the materials actually used.
When an I H C wagon reaches a farmer's
barn, that farmer has one of the best-wearing,
easiest-running farm wagons that skilled labor
can make or that money can buy. Thete is no
need to speculate in buying a wagon. IHC
wagons are made for nation-wide uses, with
special features adapted to local conditions.
Weber and Columbus have wood gears. New
Bettendorf and Steel King have steel gears.
The IHC wagon dealer in your town sells ?
. the wagon best suited to your neighborhood.
Ask him for I H C wagon literature, or, write

"Why, you sea," , Mrs. Westoott

Westcott look a deep breath. He

"Oh, bother!- lfrs. Weatcott Impa

them, but- they couldn't oome because
they'd be sailing for Europe at the

Westcott eyed his wife In admira

/'Are you going to ? to run the whole
party on . the same principle?" he
queried, respectfully.
"Well, we'll issue about twice as
many Invitations as the house can
hold," she explained, the fire of vic
tory in her eyes. "There are^ths^
Browns. ~ They're going to Florida
this winter. I heard that they leave

have to have the girls, too." $he j
looked at her husband exultantly.
"Oh, and there are the Warrens and
the Smiths. They're going hunting to

That's seven with Mr. Warren's sis*

"Then there arte the doctor and hts
mother. He told me the other day
that she wasn't at -all well and he

"And there are the minister and hi*

In Westcott, with proper pride in his
offering. "He's going to accept thai

Mrs. Westcott glanced at her hu*?
band to detect any fraud in his air
of frankness, but he was adding the
names to his list enthusiastically.
"There are twenty that can't come,"
he counted, finally.
Mrs. Westpott sighed , a deep sigh
of thanksgiving. ' "That's all right.

The first "dally" was called The

ent Isondon Times office. The paper
wss only a single aheet of two co'*

So keen was the publisher to stcor
clear of any responsibility for his
news, and to hide himself and fcly
?lews In tbe background, that he say*
In hla first issue in so many wont- he
will make no comments of bla own.
"supposing other people to have sense
enougn to make reflections for them
selves."
The Dally Courant, which lasted
until 17SI. may In; said to be the first
dsily newspaper in anything like the
modern seme. Yet the Romans b?d a
publication called Daily Happening!
(Acta Diurna) which noted the move

special officers, d* Ported in the state
archives, and copies posted about the

Minute Men.
The Bo-called organization of Min
ute Men came into existence shortlj
before the outbreak of the Revolution
The patriots of Massachusetts and
Other New England colonies bande<!
themselves together, obtained arms
and pledged themselves to the de
tense of the colonies "at a minute's
notice." From this pledge to take ui
arms "at a minute's notice" they got
their name.
The Minute Men were enrolled iu
pursuance of the act of the Provin
cial congress, which was passed or
November 23, 1774. Many names that
were destined to become famous
th<> Revolution appeared in this rostei
of patriots. In the beginning the;
were expeoted to serve only In th?
New England colonies, but when the
Conflict came no thought was taken ol
this. The Massachusetts Historical
society has a list of the patriots who
were enrolled as Minute Men.

The earliest use of - the word
"strike" in the sense of stopping worli
occurs In the London Chronicle for
September, ,J765, in connection with a
cool strike. This publication reports
a great suspension of labor in the
Northumberland ' coalfields, and the
colliers are stated to have "struck
out" for a higher bounty before enter
ing Into their usual yearly "bond."
-The time-honored Illustration of profit

?first slap in the face during this
btrlke. The Chronicle reports that
"several pokes of cool wore brought
from Durham to Newcastle by one of
the common carriers, and sold on the
sandhill for 9d a poke, by which ho
