ABOUT
The Leonard Cleanable Refrigera
tors
* FIRST —They are scientifically constructed and
with a constant circulation of pure, cold, dry air they save
ice instead of melting it.
SECOND— With their ONE-PIECE PORCELAIN
LINING, having rounded corners and brought clear
out to the edge of the door frames, and every inside part
instantly removable, THE LEONARD IS AS EASY TO
CLEAN AS A NEW CHINA DISH.
THIRD—The LEONARD LOCK which practically
grabs the door as soon as you push it shut—either with
your hand or foot —and holds it tight. This makes it im
possible for a door to be left partly open if any attempt is
made to close it at all, and adds greatly to the efficiency of
the refrigerator.

When Trouble Comes, His Violin
Comforts Him.
The Progressive Farmer.
Our own feeling is that our best
letter on *‘Ho\v We Have Found In
creased Happiness Through Good
Music” has come rather appropriate
ly from “an old Kentucky home”^—
being written by R- H. MeCown of
Christian County in the Bluegrass
State, and we give his prize letter
herewith: —
"Personally my violin is the most
indispensable part of my farm equip
ment. When puzzling and perplexing
questions arise, sometimes we are too
close to the situation to see it clear
ly. We need to stand back and get
| a far view, as that of a disinterested
i spectator, and let our minds relax.
| Then when we come back to the
[case, we can see more clearly, and
with calmer judgment the solution is
j easy. Worry is the arch enemy of
the farmer.
“When all is going well, the pigs
fattening in the clover, the corn
growing tall, the meadows yielding
up a big harvest, the cows contented
in the pasture, and all prospects
flattering, I like to take my violin
and for awhile lose myself from all
thought of my daily labors And. too.
when the markets are declining day
by day, when drouth comes with hot
winds, or summer floods cover the
bottom cornfields, when everything
seems to go wrong, then I need my
violin. It is all there Ls left that can
help I can lose myself from it ail
in the cotton fields of Dixie. 1 can
wander along the shore of the Wa
bash or the Suwanee River. I can
hear voice* resonant with hope and
faith in the sacred music sung by
other men long ago who were sorely
tried, or I can see the stern men who
made and {Treserved us a nation,
peer through the gray dawn to see
if the old flag still waves, and in
the notes of old masters I can find
1 peace and contentment. I come 1 ack
ito my problems with a new vision,
and a new faith in the land, and
I know there will be a turn in the

The ease of the "sliding Ghost - ’ is
one of the most peculiar and baffling

For three years the federal govern

failed, but the Veterans’ Bureau is
convinced that the "Sliding Ghost.’’
who won his nickname been use of his
ability to wiggle through some of the

No-Man’s Land, lived t'-cugh some of
the most terrible days of the war.
Eight years ago Tarbot’s memory
tvas almost blotted out when a great
shell exploded near him in France.
'There was n tremendous flare of
light and the sound of a million bees
humming in my ears,’’ lie recalls.
From that time on, he can remem

he was found in an asylum in Stock

society or to his real name.
Can’t Get Compensation.
If lie could identify himself and
connect himself with a war service
record somewhere in the rolls of the
Marine Corps, he would be several
thousand dollars richer. He would
have government compensation money
for nearly eight years to which a dis
abled veteran is entitled. There is
also a more important need for his
past, he believes.
"Starting over again now. about 37
years old, I can’t take a place along
side the average man of my age," lie
says. "I must start out fresh with
the younger lads. Other men have
been building up into their jobs. I
don’t know where I did my building.
If 1 could go hack mid begin where I

Served With French First.
Most convincing are his memories
of army life. He thinks he went to
France in 1916. and for a time he was
a dispatch carrier with French troojis.
He remembers, too. that he served
with the Sixth Marines at Belleau
Wood. This fact is confirmed by
members of that famous outfit, a cap

have been there to know so much
about the fight and the men in it. and
