Harvcstcr-Thrcshcr Operated by Povcr
Drive rom McCormiclt-Dccring Tractor
WITHIN fhe List few years there has developed a demand
among many grain growers for a lighter harvester-thresher
with a somewhat smaller capacity than the standard Prairie
type and which would take the power for its entire operation
from a McCormiclc-Dccring 15-30 tractor. The machine illus
trated here exactly meets these requirements.
The McCormick-Dccring power-drive harvester-thresher
cuts n 10-foot swath, but instead of operating the cutting and
threshing mcchantem by means of an auxiliary engine, the power
take-off equipment of the McCormick-Deering tractor is employed
to furnish the power for this purpose, while the tructor pull3 the
machine over the field.
This arrangement of power having first been developed to
operate a grain binder or com picker, has been given the most
severe test on the harvester-thresher and found to work out
most successfully. Its convenience is beyond question because
it eliminates the weight and care of an auxiliary engine. Every
prospective buyer of a harvester-thresher will fully appreciate
' the advantages in this machine.

Newt Hedin is bu y with the Irri
gation system on the Flat. Recently
he tried the experiment of melting
mow by letting water into the banks
with disasterous results. The snow
backed the water into the ditches and
waahed out banks. It required the
combined effort; of a large force of
men to remedy the breaks and now
Newt will be willing that nature be
allowed to pursue her ways without
hindrance on his part.
A bull is described in Webster's
dictionary as "the male of any spec
ies of cattle, also of any large quad
ruped, or of the whale." But there
are bulls in human shape. That i pec
ies is one who force, his opinions on
jthem, or who drives others as a
;lavc owner, or who shows no con
ideration for the feeling or health
of members of hia family or neigh
bors. It were better that such men
be compelled to live alone without
human company.. Then they could
"bull" llinniiflves into believing they
vr bing ''bullied" instead of bing
a -bull."

Bill Schilling again demonstrated
his ver atility as a mechanic when
he was called to adjust an electric
appliance at the telephone switch
board recently. Pill made the con
nection, pronounced the job 6. K.

electricians (?) were called in to
pass on the job. They found it all
wrong; tinkered with it and finally
put it back tho way Rill hnd left
it. Upon bring asked regarding the
work the electrician in charge of the '

that Bill's way was the right way.
Again our worthy mechanic wins out.
The city fathers and Bill Staats
have at la t gotten together on an
acre of ground near the reservoir.
The acquiring of that acre has been
one of a small controversy for some
time, and now that Maupin will be
able to have title to it presages an
early enlargement of the reservoir.
At present there is hardly water
enough for houshold use in the even
ing after people have irrigated all
day, and with a larger reservoir the
question of a hortagc of water sup
ply will- have passed into the discard.

his tormentor approaches him he
shows his fangs and displays a dis

moral Is that is pay,- to make friends
rather than an enemy of a dog.
