happy and useful men and women.

Congress has begun the sixth week
of war with the calendars of both
houses of congress still filled with leg
islation which the adminij^tration feels
is essential to the successful conduct
of the conflict with Germany.
The house will probably conclude
discussion of the $l,800,'i00,000 war
revenue bill shortly and send it to
the senate.
An amendment to the espionage bill
prohibiting the use of cereals or
grains in the manufacture of intoxi
cants will probably pass both houses,
and will not .'Criously delay the ulti
mate passage of the entire measure.
The food control bill will most like

PIVOT AXLE, DISC RIDING CULTIVATOR
9f
PIVOT AXLES and PIV'OT DISCS Christened “The Dodger” in consideration
of its wonderful dodging qualities in crooked corn rows, and in dodging all
objectionable points in other Disc Cultivators.
The “BUCKEYE DODGER” is the only Pivot Axle, Disc (luide Cultivator
made. It successfully overcomes all of the many objectionable features
common to other Disc Cultivators.
The Disc moves with the wheels (in the same direction) responding in
stantly to slight pressure on the treadles, easily, quickly and correctly per
forming their duties. Cutting (not jamming and crowding) their way
through the ground, either to the ri;;ht or left. Doing perfect work in
throwing dirt to or from the row, and cultivating perfectly such portions of
the crop as may be planted in crooked rows (instead of pushing and crowd
ing their way with clumsy rigidity and awkward side pressure.) Work
which heretofore has been accomplished by main strength and awkwardness,
straining the muscles of both the operator and the team, and racking thft
machine itself beyond the reasonable expectation of durability, can with the
“BUCKEYE DODGER” Cultivator, be done easily and scientifically and witk
far better results.
Don’t order. C. DOYLE Brevard, N. C.
