or religion divide my personal friend
ship. Whether you vote for me or
not. I assure you you will have mine.
I don’t say, * ‘If you don’t know me,

1 THE NORTHERN STATES HAVE OFFICIALLY ADOPTED THE 56* AUTO TRACK WAGON
Neither too Wide nor too Narrow
but Standard 56-Inch Auto-track
WEBER
Bought by Farmers Because of Its Known Qualities
ARDLESS of all other considerations—the 60-inch
wagon does not fit the road. Any advantages it might
possess are offset by the fact that it is a stranger on its own
roads. It rides the ridges, which causes broken axles,
wheels and other parts, and the tongue whips about which is hard
on the team.
The justly famous Weber wagon is built only in 56" auto-track because
this is the standard approved tread of automobiles — and the automobile
makes the ruts in mud or soft roads. If the farm wagon is not made to follow
the same path it is out of date for road service. Automobiles are increasing
among farmers because they are a time-saving necessity, and every farmer
who hasn't an automobile intends to procure one at the earliest opportunity.
The Weber 56" auto-track wagon will do everything that the old 60*
wagon would do. It will haul cotton bales as easily as the wide track wagon
and the team can draw the load without having to pull every inch of the way.
It lends itself just as readily to all kinds of farm work and in addition it fits
the prevailing road tracks.
V.
i
A
Besides the auto-track feature the new Weber has the patented Fifth "<
Wheel and the “Safety First” Swivel Reach Coupling — two advantages that
are worth $20 apiece to the user during the life of the wagon.
By all means see our Weber wagons before you buy. We can offer you
something that will save you money and give you service. ■*

Words; 43 of Them.
While the average vocabulary con
sists of about 3,300 words, that is,
words that one recognizes when seen,
very few men use more than 2.000 in
oral or written speech. This may
seem strange until it is understood
that nine words do about one-fourth
our work, and that an additional 34
words bring the percentage up to ■one
half.
The nine most used words in the
English language are: And, be, have,
it, of, the, to, will, you. The addi
tional 34 are listed by philologists as
follows: About, all, as, at, but, can,
come, day, denr, for, get, go, here, her,
if, In. me, much, not, on, one, say, she,
so, that, there, they, this, though,
time, we, with, write, your. How
these words make for simplicity in
speech and writing may be noted that
there is only one of the entire 43 that
consists of more than one syllable.
A Bonaparte Commendation.
When the British troops were ap
proaching a certain town in the desert
of Palestine a deputation of the na
tives came out to meet them. The
headman of the deputation asked for
on interview with the British com
mander. In the course of the inter
view he urged the claims of the na
tives to kind treatment, and mentioned
that he had brought with him a docu
ment showing how well and honorably
they had behaved on the last occasion
on which their town was visited by
European troops. He duly prodtfted
the document, which was found to be
all that he represented it It was
