Put End to Slavery
Under British
Serfdom in England was finally
abolished in 1600. For a century ait-
'erward colonists and others: on a visit
to England were allowed to bring
their slaves with them; but by a
Judgment of the queen's bench, In
1772, when an attempt was made to
regain possession of a fugitive slave,
it was decided that no man in .Great
Britain coutd be held as a slave. An
u<ir for the abolition of slavery
throughout the British colonies: was
passed by the British parliament, chief-
ly through the exertions of William
Wilberforce, in 18S3, and became effec-
tive on August 1, 1834. Their owners
were compensated by the British gov-
ernment to the extent of £20,000,000
(about $97,000,000) sterling. Slavery
was abolished in the East Indies, then
under the control of the East India
company, in- 1838. Great Britain
nothing to do with slavery In South
America or the United States.—Mont-
real Herald.

Combine "the Red River
' Special ......
Maj. Chester Mills, prohibition ad-
mfnistrator'of New York, was talking
about bogus prohibition agents wiho
extort bribes from druggists and other
dealers in alcohol.
"And yet," he said, "the rascality
of these men' is very transparent. In
fact, they give themselves away aJ
every turn. They remind me of an
anecdote.
"A young man ran out of moaey at
an Atlantic City hotel. This was bad.
for he was posing as a rich young
man in the hope of making a rich
warring*-. So. in his predicament, he
cook onethe hotel clerks into his
confidence.
" 'Say,' he whispered, drawing the
clerk- aside, 'take this watch of mine
out and hock it, will you? I'm on my
uppers. Bnt can l trust you? Not a
word to any of my swell friend* here,
mind I'
"The clerk slapped him on the back
In a reassuring way.
" 'Why, old-timer,' he said, 'yon can
trust roe to the death. Only yesterday
Miss Jones-Jones, the young lady yon
golf and motor with, gave roe her fur
coat to hock, and I 'ain't breathed a
word to a IS Tin' soul.' "—Detroit Free

It will be long lasting, too
The same threshing ability that made the Red River
Special Threshers famous is built into the Red River
Special Combine.
The same big cylinder, the Grain Saving Man Be-
hind the Gun, the Steel Winged Beater, tear and
knock and beat the last kernel out.
I «T year these features in the Red River Special Combine offered
the first real advances in combined harvester threshers in a decade.
Also, Hyatt Roller and other and-frictkm Bearings, Alemiie • Zerk
Lubricated, are used at every main bearing point, making it light
running and easily lubricated.
It is amply powered to handle any condition o! grain, and to meet
every overload. Its sturdily built steel irame construction will stand
up to the jars and jolts of hauling it over rough ground.
This year the Red River Special Combine is still further improved.
Armco Ingot Iron, th--> gr^at rust resisting metal replaces sheet steel in
its budding. The Armco Ingot Iron in sides, deck and all other
sheet metal parts will make this long lasting machine still more long
lasting.
A REAL ONE-MAN COMBINE
This Red River Special is also the first combine that can really fc*
properly operated by one man. One man operates it easily and efficient-
ly, Irom his station on top of the machine. Header Tilting Wheel,
Motor, Separator and all other controls are at his finger tips. He can
observe all the working parts of the machine, also the condition of the
grain as it comes in on the header and when it goes into the tank as
clean grain. He works in the coolest and cleanest place about the ma
chine, in full control of his Combine, with everything in sight. As
convenient as an automobile and a worthwhile saving in labor expenae!
Investigate Red River Special—the machine that will save more at
your grain and last longeT. See us for particulars.

Koch't Brilliant (/«
of CUt "Plaything"
The birthday gift of a microscope to
Robert Koch by Ida wife, was the first
step in 'the transformation of a strug-
gling country doctor into a brill tan t.
scientist, one of the world's great mi-
crobe hunters.
With his new plaything, ax Mrs.
Koch had called it, he discovered the
germ of anthrax and began an exhaus-
tive series of experiments that proved
the theory that had been voiced by
Louis Pasteur, that there were sneh
things as terrible man-killing microbes,
says Paul DeKraif in "Microbe Hunt-
ers"
He also identified the white plague
bacillus and the microbe of cholera.
Then he learned how to grow disease
germs and by Infecting healthy ani-
mals. proved that maladies were
caused by the rapid multiplication of
the tiny organisms.
