WHEN BUYING STOCKS. Do as the Sueoessful Wall Strset Speculator Does. If you want to speculate buy stocks that Wall street speculators buy. Don't buy things offered by smooth tongued agents working for a handsome commission. Don't buy stocks that are guaranteed to have a big advance. The successful Wall street speculator never tries to make money in these sort of things. He buys stocks tbat have passed muster and been listed on the exchange. Before they can be listed the company must make a report that will Justify listing. While this report is not as complete as it should be. it bars out all the wildcat propositions by which the people are being swindled. It is just as easy to buy listed stocks as any other. Brokers of good standing in the stock exchange are advertising in reputable publications, and one can always open up a correspondence with a broker and have his questions freely and fully answered. The broket likes nothing better than to answer letten from a customer or from a prospective customer. If any one is timid about dealing with a broker he can always deal through his bank or get a reference to some broker from bis banker. Jasper, in Leslie's. 15c Dos

THE BEST CORN PLANTER ON

uiv

"The Janesville Corn Planter meets all conditions of seed and soil. That's good news, of course, but here's better: Its variable drop device enables the operator to plant two, three or four kernels to the bill, and is operated by a small lever within easy reach of his hand. "Here's how simple and positive that operation is: On our No. 5 Planter, the operator simply sets the clutch so as to turn the seed shaft one-sixth, one-fourth, or one-third of a revolution, giving two, three or four kernels to the hilL It cannot fail. Every hill is insured by this reliability of drop. Now this quick change device on the Janesville is a part of the clutch construction, not a separate device and extra complication as on other planters. The partial revolution makes a great saving on journals over the old style full revolution for every drop. "Now this convertible drop permits thirty variations in planting with five pairs of plates, (furnished with each machine). , Let's talk: about the plates for a minute because we want to tell you that yon get the flat drop as well as edge drop plates with your Janesville Planter. Ton have the advantage, we might say, of, two machines in one; because by merely changing the plates, the Janesville Corn Planter is converted from an edge drop to a flat drop machine. You have in one machine two devices to meet varying conditions. "But. just a minute, there's something else we want to tell you about Janesville Plates. Here it is: "Ton see, the Janesville edge drop plate is so constructed as to permit of the planting of round kernels and to prevent their accumulating in the bottom of the seed cans. In all other styles of edge drop planters these round kernels accumulate and interfere with the accuracy of the drop. Now, in the janesville our designers and experimenters have shown their ingenuity by enlarging the opening where the seed is discharged from the plate. So the round kernels lodge in the cells and when they come around to the opening they drop through. In other edge drops they prevent the cells from Oiling but cannot themaelvea pass through.

The police department is continuing a strenuous search for the stray yellow hound that attacked Turner, but have not yet located it. It is not known whether the swelling and inflamation in Turner's limb are caused by hydrophobia! infection or by blood poisoning, as his physician is reserving an opinion until the

dog is found and examined. BIG LOSS ENTAILED BY WAREHOUSE FIRE (National News Association) MINNEAPOLIS, March 1.
