Model Eighty -Five
atter of Choice
If you are a lover of six -cylinder performance, or if your
choice is a car equipped with a tried and true four -cylinder
engine, you will do well to look into the merits of the
Overland Model Eighty -Five.
This is the popular model that is built in both motor designs ---
either a Four or a Six.
Both are tiig, comfortable cars. The Four has a Wheelbase of
112 inches—the Six 116 inches.
Both are beauties in appearance and in action. Cantilever
rear :springs and big, roomy seats afford solid riding
Comfort for five people.
If you have decided to invest in a moderately priced, real
family car --one that will stand up under steady service ---
drop in and ask for a demonstration of this Model Eighty -
rive.

WHAT HAPPENED TO FARMER
GILES
Good Farmer Giles he drank his beet',
It was the early Fall,
And realized that all the year,
Ilis profits had been small.
And Farmer Giles he sat him down,
And he began to think,
And pretty soon a worried frown,
Was mingling with his drink.
His cows were thin, his eggs were few,
His crops were very mean,
And on his pasture land 'twas true,
No blade of grass was seen. •
'The farmer's wife she peaked and'pined'
With working hard all day,
And yet, no method could she find, .
To make the Homestead pay.
Then one line

With samples in his bag
'1'o illustrate the wondrous fame,
Of Sydney Basic Slag. •
'I3egone," the angry farmer cried,
"I care not for your stuff,
'Tis just like all the rest I've tried,
Your story is but bluff."
The man however with his ware,
Persisted till he won,
The vanquished farmer in despair,
. Growled, "Send me on a ton."
But oh, next season on that farm,
A wondrous change was seen,
The magic Slag had worked a charm,
Where failure once had been.
Ilis crops they grew to such a size,
That all who saw then( gazed
Ansi wondering where the secret lies,
They went their way amazed.
His cows became his daily pride,
His hens in eggs. competed
His rosy wife, close at his side,
His happiness completed;
"More Slag, more Slag," the farmer cried,
And piled it on in glee,
Oh, had he but been satisfied
Alive he still (night be.
He used so much of Basic Slag,
On his potato bed,
No longer did he sell by bag,
But by the yard instead.
llis wheat it grew to such a height,
It looked so like a wood,
That lions prowled in it at night,
Devouring what they could.
The juicy grass his cows discussed,
And swallowed more and more,
Until at last Giles found he must
Enlarge the barn door.
The farmer's wilt grew pale and thin,
With gathering eggs all day,
And yet the more she gathered itt,
The more these hens did lay.
And Farmer Giles was in despair,
His locks were white as snow,
And every day he tore his hair,
And watt,hed the things still grow.
Ile bought a gull with good intent,
And used it on his wife,
Then on himself and off they went,
To everlasting life.
And now they live beyond this sphere,
As happy as can be,
Gone are their sorrows, gone their fear,
From Basic Slag they're free,
No Money in Fanning
One of our exchanges last week reported
the visit of a farmer to town for the pur-
pose of selling a hog, a sack of beano and
a bag of wheat. After disposing of these
lit bought a Ford, a new suit of clothes, a
dress for his wife and each of his four
daughters The balance of the mono y
