'Mr. Gorst, said to be the most perfect imitator of birds on the stage today, astonished and mystified his audience with perfect reproduction of the songs of various birds. 'He has literally lived in the open, analyzing and recording the music of birds since his early youth as a farm l>oy in the west. "A real lover of birds, the lecturer spent years in adding to his repertoire, which now consists of iqore than four hundred bird songs and calls. "According to Mr. Gorst, "a bird in the bush isoworth two in the hand" Itecause in the bush it is far more useful and beautiful."

Hoy, Frepiont Hoy FOR thirty five years Henry Ford, a farmer's boy, has been working on the problem of a successful tractor for the farmland for the past fourteen years has devoted much time and a vast amount of money to the development of the present Fordson Tractor. Today that Traetor is in use on nearly 200,tXK) farms and if yoa have any doubt as to the satis faction it gives to those who are using it, call in and get the booklet, just issued by the Ford Motor Company, and called "The Fordson at Work" and read the testimony which is there given by the multitude of owners of Fordson Tractors. No evidence can be more conclusive than that of the man who actually knows by personal experience and this is the line of testimony carried in this little booklet. There is no cost for this booklet. If you cannot call for it, w*ite. drop us a postal, and we will mail it to you without charge. It is so valuable you ought to have it because it is the open door through which the farmer will pass from the hard workingdrudge to the comparative comfort of the manufacturer. The Fordson makes it possible for the farmer to plan and direct, while the machine will do the work; It presents the widest latitude for the farmer to exercise his brain power and plan how he can get the most from the soil, knowing that the Tractor will do the hard work, doit better, dd it quicker, and therefore do it morn profitably. This means not alone in the estivation of the soil, in the harvesting of the crops, but in a hundred and one different demands that are made for labor, cutting of ensilage and the "|Ii/ig of the silo; cut ting of wood; operation of the washing machine; in the lighting of the house with electricity; supplying the house with running water; bringiug to the farmer's wife and daughters the conveniences of the city, relieving them of much of the hard, unpleasant part of housework. w vv STAR GARAGE JSHN R.
