Investigating charges that soldiers
had been illegally hanged In France,
Senator Watson, democrat, Georgia,
declared a confusion of letters led to
tho statement on his part that Assis
tant Secretary Roosevelt of tho navy

officer.
"The letter from which I quoted was
from Colonel William I lay ward, I'nlt

I lay ward wrote mo that he knew of
tho shooting of Private ICdward Whit
taker by Lieutenant Kmmett Cochran
and that he was so Incensed that ho

In presenting a photograph of what
was purported to be a gallows built

Just a Few Cents
Per Acre
A good farm implement does its work for many years at a cost
of only a few cents an acre for the work done each year.
It makes farming operations easier, faster, more timely.
It decreases your cost of production.
It increases your yields per acre.
You can do without mere luxuries, and make money by doing
so.
You can do without goods, the need of which is questionable,
and never lose a cent by so doing.
But you lose good, hard dollars when you try to get along with
out any wealth-producing implement that you actually need.
We are able to buy implements this year for less than we paid
last year, and we are going to give our customers the full benefit
of the lower prices.
You get the same high quality for less money many years of
good service at a cost of only a few cents per acre.
We'll be glad to show you these new implements you need.
