Mr. B. Wise Says:
Why Don't You
Sleep at Night
"S'e 'p, 0 Gentle Sleep
Nature's Soft Nurse, how
have 1
Frightened Thee,
That thou no more wilt weight
' my eyelids down,
And $teep my senses in for
getfulness." Nature
1 Has provided sleep, that great
balm to hurt minds sleep that
knits together the nerves for anoth
er day's arduous duties.
But
Many cannot sleep.
Sleeplessness
Or insomnia, is one of the prom
inent symptoms of eye strain.
There
Is danger that it will lead tc
otl er disorders.
Glasses
Carefully fitted to the needs ol
the eye, will so often sooth the
nerves and make sleep possible to
the sleepless.

Two Good Companies
Following the earthquake and fire
that fourteen years ago destroyed
San Francisco with a 850 million
dollar property damage, the "(Lon
don" paid $7,CO),000 losses an
amount greater than that paid by
any other Company operating under
a single name, in this or any other
Conflagration. This Record stands
without a parallel in the history of
Insurance.
On April 1. 1907, after settle
ment of its San Francisco conflagra
tion losses, the Fireman' Fund In
surance Company was rehabilitated
with gross assets of $5,300,000, re
serve $2,700,000,net surplus $550,
000, an policyholders' surplus $2.-
150.000. On April 1. 1920 with
the increase in capital stock fully
paid, the company has gro assets
of $22,500,000, reserve $10,000,-
000, net surplus $6,000,000, and
policyholders' surplus $9,000,000.

An Oregon family of four had
$100 a month to get along on in
1913, but had grown into a family
of ten with only $-15 a monfh in
come in 1920, how in the world
would it live? i
That is the Case With
The State University, the Agricul
tural College, and the Oregon Nor
mal. In 1913 they had 2250 stu
dents; now they have MOO. And
$1 in 1913 is only as good as 45
cents today, in purchasing power.
If You Yourself Were
THE
Fordson Tractor
is PAST the period of experiment. It is a KNOWN
tractor. Its resale value is established.
There are nearly 150 Fordsons operating in Polk Co.
There is no risk In buying a Fordson. No expense is
spared to make it a clean cut, high class piece of ma
chinery. - : ,
As an example:
There is one type of final drive, which expensive to
construct, is most efficient and durable. It is so rec
ogniied by all automotive engineers. It is used in all
the heavier and better types of trucks.
It is the drive of the Fordson.
You should order your Fall Fordson now.
