' That's what a Spreader will do if If yew hava'125 loads of manure to spread and you are going to plant 25 acres'of corn or wheat, or have a 25 acre meadow we will tc!l you how you can increase the value of your crop this year from $4.00 to $8.00 per acre or more than enough to pay for a spreader. We issued a 48-page book entitled "Practical Experience With Barnyard Manures," which explains the whole situation. Our Plan is not a theory. It is an actual fact, backed np by actual experiments extending over a period of 18 years. To give you an idea of what this book contains, we show results of experi ments made with various crops where 5 loads of manure were spread per acre by the old method, and 5 loads by the new method, on corn ground. The latter shows a gain of $4.80 per acre. Oa another field and in another state, it shows a gain of $5.60 per acre, and on a clover and timothy meadow, a gain of $8.00 per acre. This Book will be sent free to anyone writing ns. It is worth f 100.00 to yon. but it won't cost yon a cent. If it doesn't do yon any good, it won't do you any barm. Write ns now and let us mail it to yon. It is brimming full of valuable information. The Smith Snat t7stern Endless Apron Manure Spreader Spreads all kinds of manure, straw stack bot toms andcommercial fertilizer regardless of their condition. Spreads as much in a day as is men can by hand. Spreads the largest load in .2 to 4 minutes. Makes the same amount of manure go thru times as fur and produce better results; makes all manure fine and immediately avail ab!e for plant life. Non-Bunckable Rake forms a hopper, holds all hard chunks in contact with beater until thoroughly pulverized. Endless Apron is one continuous apron, (not a H apron) there fore always reudy to load. You don't have to drive a certain distance to pull it back into position after each load or wind it back by hand ; it h a great advantage in mating long hauls. There la no Gearing about our Endless Apron to break and cause trouble, it is always up out of the way of obstructions as it does not extend below axle. Spreads evenly from start to finish and cleans out perfectly clean. Hood and End Gate keeps manure away from beater while loading ; prevents choking of beat er and throwing out a bunch when starting and acts as wind shield when spreading. It has a graduating .-r sr and can be regulated while in motion to spread thick or thin, 3 to as loads per acre.

Front and rear axles are tlie same length and wheels track; beater shaft runs in ball and socket bearings, therefore no friction. Beater is 23 inches in di ameter, seat turns over when loading. Machine turns in its own length. Simplicity. There are only two levers on our machine. One which raises the hood, locks it and throws the machine in gear at the same time. It can then be thrown in and out of gear without lowering the hood. One lever which changes feed to spread thick or thin, making it so simple that a boy who can drive a team can handle it.

"I am only 82 years old and don't ex pect even when I get to be real old to feel that way as long as I can get Elec tric Bitters," says Mrs. E. H. Brunson, of Dublin, Ga. Surely there's nothing else keeps the old as oung and makes the weak as strong as this grand tonic medicine.

Clode Jbnes a' man of " whitewash, polish j and rigid adherence to framed rules, , found the boat Instantly and recapitu lated Jim's inventory, eliciting grunts of agreement as each item was ticked off. A clang of metal beneath caught their ears the opening of the stout doors, forty feet above high water mark, from which a series of iron rungs sunk in the granite wall led to the rocky base. "Brand's goin to swim out. It's hardly worth while signalin. to the Land's End," commented Jones. No answer. Jim leaned well over and saw their associate, stripped to his underclothing, with "a leather belt supporting a sheath knife slung across his shoulders; climbing down the lad der. This taciturnity surprised Jones, for Jim was the cheeriest nurse who ever brought a sufferer a plate of soup. "It's nothing for a good swimmer, is It?' was the anxious question. "No. It's no distance to speak of." "An' the sea's like a mill pond?", "Aye. it's smooth enough." "Don't you think he ought to try it? Every fine mornin he has a dip off the rock." "Well, if it's all right for him an' you it's all right for me." Jim had urged his plea to the man whom it chiefly concerned. He was far too sporting a character to obtain the interference of authority and Jones, whose maritime experiences were confined to the hauling in or pay ing out of a lightship's cable, had not the slightest suspicion of lurking dan ger in the blue depths. , A light splash came to them, and, a few seconds later, Brand's head and shoulders- swung into view. After a dozen vigorous breast strokes he rolled over on to -his. side and waved his left, hand to the two men high above him! With a sweeping'side stroke he made rapid : progress. Jones, unincumbered by knowledge,- blew through his lips. "He's a wonderful chap, ''is Brand," he said contentedly. , "It licks ' ine what a man. like him, wants messin' about in the service for. He's eddi- cated up to the. top notch, an' he has-' money too. His lodgin's cost the whole of his pay.vthe missus says, an that kid of his has a hospital miss, if yoif please." . V Jones was grateful to his mates for their recent attentions. He1 was in clined to geial gossip, but Jim was watching the boat curving toward the lighthouse. The high spring tide was at the full. So he only growled: - "You can see with half an eye he has taken on this job for a change. I wish he was in that blessed boat" Jones was quite certain how that his subordinate harbored some secret fear of danger, "What's up?" he cried. "He'll, board her in two ticks." On no account would the sailor men tion sharks. He might be mistaken, and Jones would guffaw at his "deep sea" fancies. Anyhow, it was Brand's affair. A friend might advise; he would never tattle. The head keeper, vaguely excited, peered through his glass. Both boat and swimmer were in the annular field. Brand had resumed the breast stroke. The swing of the tide carried the broken bow toward him. He was not more than the boat's length distant when he dived suddenly and the cor morants ' flapped aloft. A black fin darted into sight, leaving a sharply di vided trail in the smooth patch of water created by the turning of the derelict. Jones was genuinely startled now. My God!" he cried. "What Is it?" "A shark!" yelled Jim. "I knew It I warned him. Eh, but he's game, is the cap'n." "Why didn't you tell me?" roared Jones. Under reversed conditions he would have behaved exactly as Jim did. But It was no time for words. The men peered at the sudden tragedy with an intensity which left them gasping for breath. More than 200 yards away in reality, the magnifying glasses brought this horror so close that they could see they almost thought they could hear Its tensely dramatic ac tion. The rapidly moving black signal reached the small eddy caused by the man's disappearance. Instantly a,great sinuous, shining body rose half out of the water and a pcyerful tail struck the side of the boat a resounding $ 10,000 Capiral Stock Paid for Butter Fat. . ... By ... Louis Tracy, Author of "The Wings of the . Morning wnarjK.' Jim's first expletive died in his throat "He's done it!" Jones heard him say. "He's ripped him. Oh, bully! May the Lord grant there's only one." For a single instant they ' saw the dark hair and face of the man above the surface. The shark whirled about and rushed. Brand sank, and again the giant man eater writhed in agonized contortions and the sea showed masses of froth and dark blotches. The flut terings of the birds became irregular and alarmed. Their wheeling flights partly obscured events below. The gulls, screeching their fright, or it might be interest kept close to the water, and the cormorants sailed in cir cles aloof. Jones was pallid and streaming with perspiration. "I wouldn't have had it happen for fifty quid," he groaned. "I wouldn't ha' missed it for a hun dred," yelped Jim. "It's a fight to a finish, and the cap'n '11 win. There ain't another sea lawyer on the job, an' Brand knows how to handle this one." Their mate's head reappeared, and Jim relieved the tension by a mighty shout: "He'll swim wild now, Brand. Keep out of his track." Sure enough, the ugly monster began to thrash the water and career around on the surface in frantic convulsions. The second stab of the knife had reach ed a vital part. Brand, who perhaps had seen a Malay diver handling his lifelong enemy, coolly struck out to ward the stern of the boat. The shark, churning the sea into a white foam, whirled away in blind pursuit of the death which was rending him. The man, unharmed Dut somewnat Dream less, clambered over the folds of the sail into the boat. ','Glory be!',' quavered Jones, who was a Baptist. Jim was about to" chant his thanks in other terms when his attention was caught by Brand's curious actions. ; In stepping across the after thwart he stopped" as. though something had stung him. His hesitation was mo mentary. .- Pressing his left hand to mouth and nose, he passed rapidly for ward,; stooped, caught a limp body by. the belt which every sailor wears and, with :a mighty effort, slung it Into the sea, where it sank instantly. So the sharkv like many a human congener of higher intellect had only missed his opportunity by being too precipitate, while thevpormorants and gulls, eying him ominously, did not know what they had lost. Then the man returned to the sail and peered beneath. Neither of the on lookers could distinguish anything of special interest under the heavy can vas sheet. Whatever it - w&s'. Brand apparently resolved to leave it alone for the moment He shipped a pair of oars and, with two vigorous sweeps, impelled the dere lict away from the charnel house at mosphere which evidently clung to it. Then the shark engaged his attention. It was floating belly upward, its white . nnderskin glistening in the sunlight. Two long gashes were revealed, one transverse, the other lengthwise, prov ing how coolly and scientifically Brand had done his work. An occasional spasm revealed that life was not yet extinct, but the furtive attack of a dog fish, attracted by the scent of blood, which stirs alike the denizens of air, land and ocean, was unresisted. The rower stood up again, drove a boat hook into the cruel jaws and lash ed the stock to a thorl pin with a piece of cordage. This accomplished to his satisfaction, he looked toward the Gulf Rock for the first time since he drew the knife from its sheath, gave a cheery hand wave to the shouting pair on the balcony and settled down to pull the recovered craft close to the rock. Jim closed the telescope with a snap. "He heaved the dead man over board." he announced, "so there's a live one under the sail." "Why do you think that?" said Jones, whose nerves were badly shaken. "Well, you saw what happened to the other pore devil. Either him or the cap'n had to go. It 'ud be the same if there was a funeral wanted aft Them there birds But come along, boss. Let's give him a hand." They hurried down to the iron barred entrance. Jones shot outward a small crane fitted with. a. winch, in case It fftt 1 "mfcrit rje Jjeeaeu, wnue tne sailor climD- ed to the narrow platform of rock into which the base blocks of -the. lighthouse , were sunk; and bolted. ;i . ".' ' .Affording but little superficial space at low water, there was now no an A shining body rose water. half the inch to. spare. Here, at sea level, the Atlantic swell, even in calm weather, rendered landing or boarding a boat a matter of activity. At this stage of the tide each wave lapped some portion of the granite stones and receded quickly down the slope of the weed covered rock. The gulls and cormorants, filling the air with raucous cries, were rustling in rapid flight in the wake of the boat, darting ever and anon at the water or making daring pecks at the floating carcass. Soon Brand glanced over his shoul der to measure the distance.. With the ease of a practiced oarsman, he turned his craft to bring her stern on to the landing place. "Lower a basket!" he cried to Jones, and, while the others wondered what the urgency In his . voice betokened. there reached them the deep, strong blast of a steam whistle, blown foui times in quick succession. Each and all, they had forgotten tht Princess Royal. iShe was close in, much nearer than mail steamers usual ly ventured. - At first they gazed at her with sur prise. Brand even suspending his maneuvers for a moment. Then Jim, knowing that a steamship trumpets the same note to express all sorts of emo tio4, understood that the officers had witnessed a good deal, if not all, thai had taken place and were offering their congratulations. "Blow away, my hearties!" crowed Jim, vainly apostrophizing the vessel. "You'll have somethln' to crack aboui when you go ashore tonight or I'm very much mistaken. Now, cap'n," he went on, "take the cover off. It's alive, I suppose. Is it a man or a woman?" CHAPTER II. RAND was slow to answer. For one thing, he was exhausted. Refreshing as the long swim was after a night of lonely B vigil, itself the culmination of two days of hard work, the fierce battle with the shark had shocked into active existence the reserve of latent energy which eve -.v healthy animal unconsciously hor-Js for life and death emergencies. But there was another reason. He had scuiie .Citiued t!i3 comparative safety of t!:f the &:i::it? ius founded to a ;oat lK 'oro he was, iu t;i:it. liorrilicvi and as de'rea lnr'uerto beyo:id fcis experience, of 200 yiVL. Not I'Viij the still pin! r.iiieod to restore his senses. So .ikn's questioa fell oa his ears with ths meaningless sound of the steamer's siren. "What is it. mate'.'" repeated his fel low keeper, more insistently. "You cin't hurt anyways, are you?" "It is a baby," said Brand, in a curiously vacant way. "A bahy!" shrieked Jones, stretched out over ths crane ahore their heads. "A what-::'.'" n-::r.'u i:t: sailor, who? crudely developed nervous system was not proof against the jar of incredulity induced by this statement. Had Brand said "a tiger" he could not have ex hibited greater concern. "Yes, a baby and it is living. I heard it cry," murmured the other, sit ting down rather suddenly. Indeed, a faint wail, suggestive of a kitten, now came from beneath the tumbled canvas quite near to Jim. But the royal navy does not encourage neurosis. The lighthouse keeper felt that a minor crisis had arrived. It must be dealt with promptly. The evil odor which still adhered to the boat told him that Brand had ex changed one inferno for another when he clambered out of the reach of the blindly vengeful shark. He looked up to Jones. "Lower away," he said promptly. "Swing the derrick until I grab the tackle, and then hoist me aboard." This was done. Ungainly in his walk, owing to his wounded limb, Jim, clinging to a rope, had the easy activ ity of a squirrel. "Now lower a jug with some brandy. He's dead beat" he added. While Jones hastened for the spirit the sailor stooped and threw back the sail. Lying in the bottom of the boat wrapped in a blanket which unavailing struggles had rumpled into a roll be neath the arms, was an infant whose precise age it was Impossible to esti mate forthwith owing to the emaciated condition, of .Its xxl?- (To be Continued) The out of for Job VJorft CLASSIFIED ADVERTISEMENTS CLASITIKli .ADVERTISEMENTS i .
