JUST A FABLE
A Harley-Davidson Surprise
the New "Master ir
For 1917 the twin cylinder Harley-Davidson models
have a new motor. We want you to see this new
motor perform.
A giant in power, this motor has
the "jump," "punch," "getaway"
and that extra burst of speed
that will make it the talk of the
trade.
"Pep" is the one word which best
describes its performance.
Such snap has never been built
into a motor before.
Slowed down on a hill it will pull,
and keep on pulling.
We believe this motor will out
run and outpull any other stock
motor. We make this statement
because the Harley-Davidson has
won every big race of the past
season, and each one of these con
tests taught the Harley-Davidson
engineers something new about
motor performance, and all of this
experience has been built into the
1917 twin motor. ,
Come in and we will give you an
opportunity to see this new mo
tor perform.
Find out for yourself vhat it will do on the hills let us
take you out on the open road, and then see if you
can find a stock motor anywhere that will stay with it

There is a new head to the Stand
ard oil. He is Alfred C. Bedford.
As the new executive Mr. Bedford
has introduced some new policies.
That was expected on the theory of
the new broom, but the nature of
some of them was not expected.
;The Standard Oil corporation has
been especially secretive., This has
been notoriously true with relation to
publicity. Imagine, then, the surprise
of a reporter for a New York paper
;who, with fluttering heart and trem
bling limbs, the other day rapped at
' the door of President Bedford. "Come
right in and sit down," was the grect-
jing. The newspaper man almost, coi-
: lapsed.
I But he was due for a greater sur
! prise. President Bedford began to
jtalk about Standard Oil business and
ho went on to say that there would
I would be no secrecy and that "there
will be a square deal for the people
jand for the company." He gave the
i reporter a candid interview and the
! readers were f urrished a clearer in
i sight into Standard Oil affairs than
'any number of offical inquiries might
' have produced.
The "come right in and sit down"
spirit is only another indication of a
I new day in the right relationship of
corporations and the public. 13ise

Onco upon a time there was a boy.
He waa a college boy, which is en
ough to describe almost any boy. He
was just simply Immersed to his euro
in his college work which included
keeping in good with Mary Jano and
determining the porcentngo of Turk
ish tobacco in any cigarette. Mary
Jano was a foxy Jano and the boy
smoked keen cigarettes, and i.e was
known as a connoisseur among his
inner circle of friends.
Consequently this boy did not have
an overabundance of time to waste
on his studies. He was studying to
be a pianist. Whenever he enrolled
ho took whatever music was required
for graduation, but he fought shy
of such common subjects as history,
philosophy, the languages, psycholo
gy, science and others for which he
had to study with the common herd
in the library. He was a seeker af
ter snaps, as tho college parlance had
'it.
And what was more, he found them.
At the end1 of the fourth year he sat
on the patform with a lot of other se
niors and the prcxy handed him 19
cents worth of parchment bearing the
customary "Know Ye All by These
Presents" and signed in various un
readable scripts that our hero knew
were the names of the 42-centimeter
guns who had planned the curriculum
so that he could get a degree.
He took his education and had it
framed and mother put it in the par
lor over the whatnot that supported
the family album, the only place
worthy of such a document. And then
came the rub.
Ho went out into the cold world
and began a campaign for three
squares a day. He offered his ser
vice to two or throe lyceum bureaus
and as many chautauquas, but they
couldn't see it his way after the in
itial trial. Finally he obtained a job
in a movie emporium and the ten
per that the mamager handed him on
Saturday nights was surely welcome.
But the day came when even the
movie emporium tired of his services,
and the manager granted him a six
months' vacation twice each year. The
manager then hired a boob who could
play "Hearts and Flowers" when
the villain was cursing the heroine and
"Over the Wav s" for a 'boating
scene on the Nile, for our hero had
never been able to distinguish any
difference in the brand of music he
played.
He had learned to pick the snaps
in college, and it was easier to play
what he wanted than to suit tho mu
sic to the picture. So our hero -went
to work. He gets $9 now on Satur
day nights. During the wcU ho paints

between a well grounded education
and a successful musical career.

Case 12-25 Gas
Tractor
This 12-2") is the result of scrupulous and painstaking efforts in produc
ing a mechanical masterpiece. No, only arc the design, construction, material .
and workmanship of the highest standard known in the industry, but the ef
forts have been so harmoniously blended, the result is a masterpiece.
This tractor was designed with a view to meet every condition on the
farm, and every use and operation that a tractor in its class should be fitted
for. Its appearance is indicative of its power and durability. It is emi
nently suited for plowing, harvesting, and oilier-field work; hauling .;nd road
work, threshing and miscellaneous belt operations; in fact, work of every
description within its capacity, it pulls a fouivbottom plow, two or three bind
ers in high speed, runs a 26-in. separator with attachments.
The material is the best obtainable for every part, and is so distributed
that every ounce is effective. The strength of every part is many times suf
ficient to withstand the strain imposed upon it in ordinary service.
The use of roller bearings has reduced the rolling resistance of this trac
tor to such an extent that one man can push it on the floor.
Most tractors do not possess these extraordinary qualities, but they add to
the efficiency, economy, and durability of the machine, much more than the
extra cost of the construction. The first few years the difference is revealed
only in operating efficiency and economy, but aifter many years' service the
tractor of lesser quality is useless, while this tractor continues to serve its
purpose practically as well as flie first few years.
BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY.
