Wheat Crop So Good
Hail Failed To Hurt

Wheat on the large Cummins

after hail stones as large as golf

before harvest. Unusual prolonged
rainy weather kept the field green.
New stalks sprang from ‘the roots.
annlly Cummins obtained a yield of
twenty-five bushels an acre.

.. “It’s the very latest—”
To most women nothing is so old as last year’s h'at‘.
Unless it be her last year’s dress, or coat, or skirt-length.
Men can’t understand it. They laugh genially at
such simple-minded folly. And while they laugh, they
are thinking of how queer the old car looks, even though
it’s only two seasons old, and how old-fashioned last'
year's necktieslmake a man seem.
In other words, men' are just about the same as
women when it comes to wanting “the latest.” It’s a
