II THE JANESVILLE DISK CULTIVATOR

0 a o a a a () o o o o o o u ( ( ( ( (

Why You Should Uso a Disk Cultivator: MORE CORN TO THE ACRE WE PROVE IT If you think our claim that the Janesvllle Disk Cultivator is the best is just a bluff, then call It. The anesville means more corn for you. That is our statement and here is bow we back it: We'll gladly take the increase in yield on 40 acres for our pay for one of these machines, if used as we direct during an entire season. That looks as if we had some confidence in our machine, doesn't it? FOR ALL SOILS AND ALL SEASONS No matter what kind of soil you are cultivating cloddy, trashy ground; river bottom ground; where weeds grow trick; or hard sun-baked soil the Janesvllle will "deliver the goods." In all soils and all seasons, for deep, medium or shallow cultivation, the Janesvllle Disk Cultivator ensures perfect cultivation, thorough pulverization. And, of course, you know what kind of construction is required to stand that. It must be simple, solid and enduring as true as the principles underlying it . ' ' POINTS FOR THE PRACTICAL MAN The Janesville gets right next to the man who knows and has used all kinds of farming tools. Here are points he appreciates: ' 1. Steel frame, light and strong. 2. Steel rach, light and rigid. 3. Single pole horses as close as you like. 4. Neat and compact frame in connection with tfte angle bar axle. t 5. Every detail of construction as thorough as if the machine were to be tested by that detail alone. EQUIPMENT The Janesvllle is equipped with a single pole, 14-inch or 16-inch disks, levelers, arcfi or lister bars, or shovel gangs. The pole is made of carefully selected and seasoned timber. . This and the neck yoke represent the only piec.es of wood on the machine. The DISKS are of the heaviest gauge. They are furnished either in the 14-inch or the 16-inch sizes and are interchangeable on the same machine. A fourth disk may be attached to the inside of each set of gangs, forming a very practical two-horse disk' harrow.

TRACTION COHY OflLY ASKS LITTLE Merely Wants to Keep Their Tracks Where They Are and Not Be Assessed.

John J. Appel, vice president, and G. K. Jeffries, general manager of the Terre Haute, Indianapolis, and East ern traction company was before the county commissioners on Wednesday afternoon and altered their request for the modification of the improvement to the National Road from West Fifth estreet to the Wayne-Center township line. The company's proposition is substantially that the improvement be made at the cost of the taxpayers of the township and that the company be given a right of way, eight feet wide, within the south curbing, and that It not be assessed any part of the Improvement. The commissioners said that such a proposition justified their refusal to modify the specifications in any manner. They had not taken final action as a body at press time. The company had originally asked that it be permitted to run down the center of the highway from the city limits to Easthaven avenue, and from there to the western end of the Improvement on the south side, but within the south curb line. If the modified request ot the company was granted it would not have to move its tracks more than two feet at the most. All the expense the company wants to meet on the Improvement is for the crushed stone between Its tracks. The roadway, according to the contract which J. F. Cronin has, is to be forty- eight feet wide with the company's tracks on the outside ot the south curb line. With the company's tracks within the curb line, eight feet of the roadway would become the right of way of the traction company, leaving approximately thirty-eight feet to the north of the track for travel. It is now possible to telephone from London to St. Petersburg, a distance of S50 miles.

BAD BLOOD. Is the cause of nine tenths of thu Ills which the human body is , afflicted. The symptoms of which range from the dreaded contagious blood poison' to the minutest eruption on the skin. They include rheumatism, catarrh, scrofula, eczema, erysipelas, pimples, boils, ulcers, running sores, InfUmed eyes, and enlarged glands down to sick headache and a muddy or sallow complexion. The prescription of Dr. Simpson, (the noted blood Specialist of Richmond. Ind.) known as Dr. A. B. Simpson's Vegetable Compound, la the most powerful alterative, or blood purifier, ever known. Its reputation was firmly established a tew years ago, by curing apparently hopeless cases, was certified by county and city officials, and widely noted by the press; since which thousands have been relieved by its use. Good blood invariably means vigorous health, and appetite, good digestion, strength, and a clear, healthful complexion. This is assured to all who try this remedy; its remedial etfects are apparent with the first few doses. ..... Dr. Simpson's Vegetable Compound is purely vegetable, and is harmless as it is effective. It is put up la convenient form at one dollar per bottle and is sold at all drug stores. Who cannot see well is often wrongly pronounced stupid by his elders. In this case appr ances are deceitful.
