news <* em county f WfTkm TO TU WRITER OF LINCOLN UNES Lincoln Writer, I've no secret la my crude and feeWe way; I aw writing far The Index Just to see what I can say. I failed to learn my grammar lessons Never could, nor never cab; I don't know no more about them Thaa a South Sea island man. I am just a plain old farmer, Raising hay, some wheat and rye. And am not a heavy drinker Of ouch stuff as alkali. When you asked a good fair question, the items that you wrote, If I then would fall to answer It would ill become a poet. Flowery language, fights of fancy, Brings us back through years of time To the hearthetone of our childhood Where we first learned nursery rhyme. In So ! lova to write those sonnets In my own peculiar style; In the world of tears and sadness They, perhaps, may bring a smile. —Bramwell Farmer.

Emmett $486.60 The busy farm season is upon us, also many lines of commercial business, and with it the Fordson Tractor is showing up as the one bit of machinery that is a necessity; especially does it show up as a valuable servant on the farm. With it the farmer is relieved of the hard work because he çffn take advantage of the weather in pre paring his seed bed; he can do it at the right time; ; the same is true when it comes to harvesting. It solves, to a great extent, the problem of scarcity of labor. With its wonderful, reliable power, it brings to the farm home all the conveniences, in the way of running water in the house, electric lights, operation of the washing machine, churning, separating the cream from the milk; it assumes and takes to itself the drudgery of farm life both in the field and in the house and it is only a matter of a few years until it will be as universal in its service on the farm as is the farmer himself. It will become a part of farm life; a bene ficial part; a profitable part. Get order in for there's a rush coming. M. & M. Garage Phone 22. First and Washington Sts, UP-TO-DATE STATIONERY—INDEX OFFICE
