' Some funny ideas, are advanced by persons who happen down to look at our bridge," said one of the men concerned in the building of the ' :nas*h::<■!> as the;, appear to have no idea of how a concrete bridge is made or what it looks 1 ke. Or.* :-i:ow from nea Linn Grove came up today and after sizing up our bridge appeared to tbink it wasn't much. In talking with him it developed that he thought that inasmuch as the arches

_ .— — were rounded on top It would be Beerosary for person* crossing th* bridge to their wagon* down on one side and then drive up hill, down, ep bill and down again In order to get acroaa. In other word* that th* bridge would form two steep hill* to be climbed, b* not thinking how he would get down to the base in the first instance. Then, there was another, who objected to the bridge because it would cause the water to back up. In bis estimation there not being enough opening for the water to pas* through under the arches He ; believes that It will cost from three i to five thousand dollar* every winter to keep the river free from ice souidl of the bridge H* can't see whore : the extra pressure of the water, if It did back up behind the bridge, would help create a force that would force more water through the openings j than if it flowed through of ft* own . accord. Another fellow can't see [ i how th* bridge can be built solid i and permanently by placing wet concreate against the dry, laid the day i before. “Yes, there're some funny idea* en--1 tertained about thi* bridge," said the speaker. Th* workmen began thi* morning Jto place the concrete on the east I arch of the bridge. The concrete i», | soured in sections, it requiring over a week to ca*t each arvh.

Swinging a heavy corn knife all day lons, day after day, is work which can be done away with at an actual saving of money. With an I H C Com Binder Deering, McCormick, Milwaukee, Osborne a forty-acre corn field can be harvested by two men in seven days. Let that fact sink home. Compare the cost of corn binder harvesting with the cost of extra help necessary to get in your corn by the old back-breaking method. Besides that saving, if you start to harvest with an 1 H C corn binder when the ears begin to glaze, the good feeding value is retained in the stover. If then the whole crop be hauled to the barn as soon as cured and run through an I H C huaker and shredder — Deering, McCormick, or Plano— you have secured every possible dollar s worth of value from your corn crop. You have a supply of nutritious corn stover stored in the barn for winter feeding in place of hay. You can bale your hay and make it a cash crop. An I H C corn binder is worth investigation and purchase. See the 1H C local dealer for catalogues and full information, or write International Harvester Company of AnK rlC * incorporated) Ft.
