Eyes and Ears, ‘Tail. We're prone to look down on the man who works, the woman who bakes and scrubs, the young folks sneer at the older age, and call them a ‘‘set of clubs'” They turn up their noses and curl their lips, at the fellow who sweeps in the street, they go sailing by with a smile and smirk, and deem him to lowly to greet. They think the same way a bout the old folks at home, the mother who's wrinkled and gray, whose hands are all knotted and lumpy and gnarled, by the tasks she performes through the day. Your manicured son, he looks down on his dad, whose hands they are soiled with the grime, for the ‘‘old man’’ has worked for the love of ‘‘the kid,” in spite of all weathers and clime. ' If they'd just stop to think of the soul all aflame with the love of a man for his kin, they would know that a mani cure don’t make the man, that comes from the heart deep within. It's a les son we learn through the course of the years, and it lasts us through all the turmoil, that 4 man or a woman may keep their souls clean, no matter how heavy they toil—Elwin Hunt. NOTICE. Several we have asked me about the Ford Tractor that is now byline demonstrated at the Normal Short Course. This tractor is not a product for the Henry Ford Motor Tractor Co. Ttis an altogether different breed of cats. The Ford Motor Co. will put out their tractors some time next summer and they will be handled in the regular way by the Ford agents, JOHN O'LAUGHLIN. ‘The attack made by John O'Loughlin on The Ford Tactor Co's tractor of Minn., for which we have the agency in this county, is another one of his great imaginations and should be treated as such. He is making it a hobby to knock om everything that he does not sell. We further wish to state that we have not at any time advertised it as Henry Ford’s, because we think this concern has something better than even this, Ford Auto Co. We are willing to put ‘it up against anything now on the market at the same price; although it does not belong to the same ‘breed of cats’ that he does; the Company stands behind it with as good a guarantee as John O'Laupu lin has for any of his tractors. It is more powerful, built stronger. It has been demonstrated at different times and was pronounced a success by Some of the best farmers and business men of this County. Come and inspect it, we shall only be pleased to show you the good qualities it has, F.N. Dretting Ca- Christmas in Europe.
