The day of hand husking is rapidly passing. The new McCormick-Deering corn picker not only takes the drugery out of corn husking but it also enables the farmer to get his corn husked in good time and thus get it stored away before winter starts in.

New Spreader Attracting Attention -vwts WEA "Well, Here’s a Really New i Spreader!’’ That's the general [ comment of those who have seen the New McCormick-Deering in operation. It is an all round j better spreader. The two revolving beaters shred the manure perfectly, and the widespread spiral—set hlgn up—assures an even wide spread o* manure at all times. The machine is so light in draft that two horses pull it easily. The bos is low, making is easy to load. The levers on both sides are within easy reach of the operator, and the driver can instantly regulate the quantity of manure to be spread while the machine fs in operation. Narrow width of the spreader allows readily passage 5 through doors and gates. Many other advantages. i More Sales Edgar Houser purchased a new Chevrolet coach; Garland New- ' land, a used Ford roadster and । Bengeman Ecker of Koontz Lake, * a new International truck to be 1 used in connection, with road work . in Starke County.

SEES GOOD BUSINESS FOR LAST HALF YEAR American Bankers’ Association Confident That High Level Will Be Retained. New York. —Confidence that business will retain Its high level for the balance of 1928 Is expressed by the American Bankers’ association and Brookmire Economic service in their recent reviews. “If any' one still holds misgivings as to the outcome of American business In 1928, an examination of the principal elements visible at this time, should inspire a great deal of confi dence,” says the A. B. A. statement. “Industrial production is wellmaintained with automobiles and trucks making a record, steel operations expanding at firmer prices, building construction to date 8 per cent ahead of last year, metals and machinery active and the only seriously unfavorable spots being woolen and cotton goods. “Retail trade is becoming more active and merchants are reported to have thoroughly cleaned out hot weather goods and to be making autumn and winter purchases with conservative optimism, the free placing of forward orders being particularly noteworthy. The election year bogie has so far had little effect on trade. “Money rates continue firm, but | the supply of loanable funds is ampla and statements of the reporting mem' : her banks show but minor changes, : with total loans and Investments tern- I porarily stabilized at a level only 7 per cent above one year ago. Sentiment Is frequently beard that present ratej are higher than justified and that an evening down to correspond with International interest charges Is to be expected. “Profits for the half year of 320 large manufacturing and merchandising corporations aggregate 5 per cent better than last year and the majority of the group show Increases. Crop forecasts were raised In the August estimates so that the probable 1 ‘ wheat and corn crops will not be | less, but more than last year, while i excellent fruit crops are expected.” Business continues at a level above fbo long-term luv'rage movement, with no signs of a ■JeclI no sindt ns occurred last yv7r. according tT tTe | Brookmire review.
