Thinks and reads, lie has time for both; it is true
that the hardest task and the one most poorly done is the
sharpening of knives and tools. Without sharp knives the
best machine does poor work, while with knives sharp, the
poor machine does good work.
A careful investigation of the Olizbe Tool and
Sickle Grinder will convince you that it ia the best aachine
ever made for the purpose. For grinding Mower or Beaper

Coleman Independent: Will our
people ever quit feeding tramps?
About six o'clock Monday morning
tour genuiDe hobos were seen in a box
car fixing up one of tbeir number for a
tour of the village. When he started
out on his mission he had his arm in a
sling and his coat so arranged as to
bold all the lunches he and his hobo
f-ietM_smight need for three flrfour
days. As soon as our village will quit
encouraging such class of people just
so soon will it be rid of the tramp.
Some people believe they are doing an
injustice t" themselves. The tramp
is better able to work than the average
housekeeper.   Don't Harbor the hobo.
A few years ago it was thought very
worldly minded if a person appeared
on a bicycle on Sunday. JNbw, city
churehes are building quarters for
storiEg and cheeking them at the Sabbath services. Pastor and congregation ride them to the house of worship
on tlie Lord's day, and the people of
both sexes are welcomed with no
thought of anything peculiar if they
attend church with bicycle suit on.
