The wheat was so thick and1 liiigili
that the bird could not escape and
Mr. Pii.rtner was able to catch it
with life hands, but since the sea
son is not yet open, he had' to
let jit go. Joe Norvell doubted the
story and went down to investigate
He came back convinced as. h.e
found several hundred dead birds ij
the field'. This was explained bj
the fact that the wlieait heads ware
so far from the ground that the
chickens could niot reach them and
had consequently starved to death.

Motorcycling at its vrify Best, with an
is the greatest of all improvements. Rit ing on the Indian is like riding on air, so
smooth is its running. There's no strain on tlie nervous system and no unneces
jary jarriqg of the machine and fittings. The "life" of the motorcycle is greatly
jpcreased by the new spring system.
Equipment of footboards in addition to pudals on our 4 h.p. and 7 h.p. '•regular"'
models is another new feature. You have the choice of two comfortable riding
positions with the double brake control in each. You may use the pedals merely
for starting the motor if you wish. Improved luggage carrier will commend itself -,
to tourists and traveling men especially.
A.ny speed from 4 to 50 miles an hour. Free Engine Clutch gives the Indian a
thousand speeds. Motor has reserve power that takes you up any hill. Wonder-^
fully economical motorcycle to maintain. No increase in prices.
