Whenever you find an article that has been
and is the best seller on the market, you feel safe
in buying it. No plow ever had such an extensive
sale as the
The New Deere
There is profit as w ell as satisfaction tn having a plow that is recognized
as the best, because such a plow must in the end yield the greatest returns
on the investment. No matter how long a plow lasts, you have just that
long to regret the purchase of it it you don't like it.
Quick Detachable Shares
An epoch making improvement. From the standpoint ot time saved
and convenience and satisfaction, one will hardly be satisfied with the old la
borious method of changing shares when he can buy the New Deere.

Eddy Memorial
The memorial to Mary Baker
Eddy, the Discoverer and Found
er of Christian Science, erected
in Mt. Auburn Cemetery, Cam
bridge, Mass., was on March 24,
1917. turned over to The Chris
tian Science Board of Directors
hy Elbert S. Barlow of New
York, who had charge of its con
struction. Over a year and a
half has been required to com
plete it. Christian Scientists
throughout the world have con
tributed, as expressions of senti
ment, the entire cost of over
$150,000.
The memorial is of Bethel
white granite and consists of an
open circular colonnade of eight
columns fifteen feet in height
surmounted by a cornice and
cresting. The space inside the
colonnade is to be filled with
growing flowers. The columns
rest on a stylobate of three steps,
which also rest, at one side, on a
broad platform of Pompton pink
granite and, at the other, which
is about five feet lower, on a
double fl'ght of circular steps.
These are flanked on each side
by a large pylon. The pylons
were exhibited a short time ago
at the American Institute of
Architecture in New York, and
were pronounced by several ex
perts to be the finest pieces of
carved granite ever executed.
The detail is elaborated to an ex
tent never before attempted in
granite; some of the stems and
leaves are practically free-standing,
so great is the relief.

Ellis Fisher, late of Company
L of Vancouver, is once more a
plain citizen. In making out his
papers at the time of enlistment,
his actual age, 16, was given. A
subordinate, not accustomed to
regulations, gave the real age,
16, in making out the papers. It
is the custom of the government
to accept youth under 18 with
their parent's consent, but then
the registration must be made as
18. Wnen Ellis' papers got to
headquarters it was noticed that
the age 16 was given and he was
ordered discharged as under 18.
He cannot re-enlist in Company
L for there he is officially listed
as not qualified. Neither can he
enlist in any of the other compa
nies of the state at present for
their ranks are all filled.
