Shovel Maker That Ha Had No
Need to Worry.
Many delightful vlllagen appear la
Mile Rosalind Richards' “A Northern
Countryside;” there are people amus
ing and lovable, eccentric and pathetic.
Old Ellphalct Marston, herd of one
brief anecdote, stands out among them
all as the best exemplification of the
principles on which real business (ac
cess Is founded.
Ellphslet, who built and owned the
shovel factory, made It bis study to
produce the best-wearing and the
soundest shovel that could be made. In
later life hls^eon tried to Induce him
to go about through the country, look
up his customers, and do what he
could to Increase' trade. The son was
very emphatic about It It was what
every one did, the only way to keep
up-to-date and advertise the business,
and Ellphslet must not becbme moss-
grown. The old man shook his head,
but after much discussion consented
to (tart off, although he was not real
ly persuaded of the wisdom of the sug
gestion.
He went to a big wholesale dealer In
Chicago, but did not mention his name
—merely said he was there to talk
shovels.
"Don't mention shovels to me,” said
the dealer. “There’s just one shovel
that's worth having, just one that's
hphest; and that's the one that I'm
handling. There It la,” he said, pro-.
duclng It "Look at ltl That's the i
only Shovel that’s made In this coun-
' try; made by a man named Marston,
at Marston Plains, state of —”
Kllphiflet chuckled and went home,

CUSTOM FOR CUSTOM’S SAKE
English Church Authorities Continue
to Distribute Coins, Though Rea
son for Doing So Is Forgotten.
In accordance with ancient custom,
six-penny pieces were distributed on
Good Friday In the churchyard of St
Bartholomew-the-Great West Smith-
field, to 21 widows resident In the par
ish of St Bartholomew. The coins
were dropped upon one of the flat
tombstones by Corporal W. H. Irons,
B. B. (under church warden), and the
widows, whose ages ranged ffom
eighty-five to sixty, were required to
pick them up. Concerning the origin
of the custom, nothing Is definitely
known. Until Mr. Butterworth, .Mho
thirty years ago, Invested a sum of
money sufficient to assure what was
needed to continue the custom on
Good Fridays, the distribution was In
danger of being discontinued, Inas
much as there was no fund from
which the money was supplied. Until
then the expense was borne by the
church wardens. The nave of the
church once stood upon the spot where
the money is now distributed, but was
destroyed at the time of the dissolu
tion of the monasteries. Mr. Deputy
Turner, who died last year, had con
ducted the ceremony for SO years^-

Moving pictures sending
LABOR TO THE FARMS
Nearly every motion picture-theat
er In the country is enlisted in the
campaign of the United States Em
ployment Service of the Department
of tabor to supply labor to the farms
The estimated total patronage of
these theaters Is about 60,000,000
persona.
Eleven of thel argeat motion-pic
ture manufacturers are cooperating
with the Farm Service Division in its
drive for maximum food production.
These Aim producers are releasing to
their subscribers—the theaters—mov
Ing-picture “trailers,” calling on all
those who possibly can do so to volun
teer with the Employment Service
for harvest work and other forma of
emergency farm labor.
Three sample trailers, each about
26 feet long and running on the
screen for about one minute, are
' sent to each film manufacturing com.
pany weekly, the company selecting
one to go with its current releases.
Through their national’ association
the manufacturers work as a unit in
distributing the trailers, releasing
them among their subscribers so there
can be no overlapping.
; The Georgia department of agri
culture urges prompt state-sride at
tention to the matter of sewing fall
wheat and oats, preparations for
which musts oon be made. '
■very termer in Georgia will do
well to make plans now to secure his
seed and to get the bast possible tor
his locality. The heed and demand
for it next spring and summer wilt, if
anything, be greater than this year,
end the Department hopes and trusts
that ti-rrgianJll t* her full share in
this production.
It ts'hoped that every farmer in
the state will plant at least tsro acres
of wheat to thep low for this purpose
he should select his very best acres.
It is the purpose of the Department
to keep this matter before the pro
ducers of the State in the hope and
belief that Georgia's food production
for the coming year will be a genuine
credit to the state,’it ,
having some very un
settled weather.

ALLIES NOW HAVE BOMBING
PLANES WORKING TOGETHER
Machines Now In Use Which Are Suf
ficient to Fly to Germany
There were no aerial bombing or
ganizations in the allied flying corps
during the first year of the war. Prac
tically all the work in the air was in
the nature of observation. No pilots
could bo spared for anything else.
Today probably 25 per cent of the
aerial armi are bombing squadrons
of 12 machines per squadron.
The Drat bombing was done by vol
unteer pilots who flew over thp Ger
man line* and dropped three or four
sheila in concentration camps and
cantonments. Showers of small stell
arrows were spilled sometimes on con
voys, troop trains, and bodies of mass
ed men. The Germans began day
bombing of cities in 1916, and the al
lies bombarded Karlaruhe in reprisal
later in the aarne year. Since then
evolution in organized bombing de
veloped rapidly and the French began
night bombing but thlz waa not un
dertaken by the Germana until Aug
ust, 1916.
At tho present time large groups in-
eluding-several squadrons of bombing
machines go over the lines from time
to time and completely’destroy their
objective, be it a city or a camp, a col
umn of troops or n trench system.
Unfortunately the allies' air forces
have to travel for many miles over
hostile territory defended by anti
aircraft guns to attack German cities
by flying only a short distance be
yond the allied lines.
The allies are developing large
bombing plnnea which' carry sufficient
fuel for long excursions and arma
ment to protect them when they are
attacked by fighting airplanes. Bomb
ing squadrons are escorted usually
over 1 the lines by fait fighting squad
rons of 18 planes to a squadron, and
then left to their own devices for the
fighters seldom carry sufficient fuel
to permit them to accompany the
bomber* qn the round trip.
The dropping of the bomb is simi
lar to shooting a rifle. First, you sot
your sights and wind gauge, you hold
the rifle properly, and finally you pull
the trigger at the proper moment. If
your ammunition is standard, your
sight* correct, you hit the target So
with bombing, If you let your sight*
correctly, fly your plane correctly ov

SPECIFICATIONS
i PERFORM ANCE—The tractor is designed as
a two-plow machine and will pull two 14-inch
plows in the stillest soil. It will maintain a draw
bar pull 1800 pounds at plowing speed. In
low gear a drawbar pull of 2600 pounds is ob
tained.
The fuel consumption varies with conditions;
two fend one-half, gallons of kerosine per acre
being a fair average. The amount of ground
plowed also depends, on conditions; eight acres
in ten hours would strike an average.
When used at stationary work and running at
full power; 1000 R. P. M., the fuel consumption
does not exceed two and three-fourths gallons 1
per hour. The total weight of tractor is 2700
pounds with water and fuel tank filled. Over
all length is 102 inches, height 55 inches and
width 62 inches. , ,
ENGINE—Four cylinder, four cycle, cylinders
are cast en bloc; Cylinder bore four inches;,
piston stroke, five inches.
Removable Cylinder Head: ..This allows easy
access to the valves, pistons and cylinders; the
crank case is easily removed so that all intenor
parts of the engine may be reached without tak
ing the tractor apart.
Horsepower: The engine develops .twenty-
twohorsepower when running at 1000 revolu
tions per minute, and using kerosine.
Lubrication: Splash system; the oil circulat
ion is maintained by the centrifugal action of
the fly-wheel on the oil in the flywheel casing.
COOLING—Thermo-Syphon Systenf: The
very large water jackets and radiator tanks us
ed with a vertical tube radiator insure a contin-
uous flow of water and efficient cooling. This
works in connection with a* belt driveii ball-
e iGNlTION—Special design magneto built in
and made a part of the motor, used in combina
tion with four coils and a commutator. This
• system is simple and reliable. . ...
VAPORIZER—The tractor is equipped with
a special design vaporizer which heats the kero
sene vapor, and mixes it with fresh cool air, sup
plies a dry explosive mixture to the cylinders. To
start the engine, gasoline is used and after about
one minute when the vaporizer is sufficiently
heated, it is shifted to kerosene.
Fuel is supplied by gravity from a twenty-one
gallon overhead tank.
, AIR WASHER—The air supply is drawn
through water. The wear on the cylinder walls
is thus greatly reduced because of all dust hav-
been removed from the dir.
CLUTCH—Multiple steel disc running in oil.
TRANSMISSION—Constant mesh, selective
type, three speeds fojrwdrd and one reverse; all
.shafts run on .ball bearings. Gears are made of
vanidium steel and gardened. Final drive Ts by
worm and worm wheel. All gearing is entirely
enclosed and runs in 6il.
DIFFERENTIAL—Four pinion bevel type
and is carried on ball bearings.
REAR AXLE—Is of vanadium steel and'ro
tates in^roller bearings on the outer ends.
FRONT ’ AXLE—-“I”-beam section. Drop
forging made of vanadium steel. It is attached
in the center directly to the front of the engine,
) giving a three point suspension to the tractor.
WHEELS—Front wheels have steel spokes
cast in the hub and riveted to steel rims. They
are mounted on ball bearings.
Rear wheels also have the spokes cast in the ’
hub and riveted to the rims. These rims are 42
inches in diameter, 12 inches, in width and are
fitted with special cleats designed to give proper
traction in the field. By withdrawing a tapered
bushing from the hub, the wheels are quickly
removed. Wheel base is 63 inches, tread be
tween wheels being 88 inches. The tractor will
turn in a 21-foot circle.
BELT PULLEL—For stationary work, a pul-
ly is fitted on the side of the tractor and operat
ed from the engine'clutch. Twenty-two horse
power is available at the pulley which runs at
1000 revolutions per minute. The pulley is nine
inches in diameter and uses a six-inch belt. This
equipment is pptiohal.
CONTROL—-Steering is by bevel pinion and
sector, being entirely enclosed and. lubricated
by oil splash. The steering wheel is located in
the center of the tractor. Directly under it is
the throttle lever. The spark lever is mounted
on the dash.
The gear shifter lever 4s on the left-hand side
of the tractor, and the clutch pedal on the right
’ The seat is directly behind the steering wheel
in the center of the tractor, bringing the driver
within easy reach of all controls. -
TRACTOR SPEEDS—Plowing speed 2 3-4
miles per hour; low speed 1 1-2 miles per hour;
high speed 6 3-4 miles per hour; and reverse
speed 2 1-2 miles per hour. This is calculated
on engine spbsd of 1000 R. P. M.' .
Save these specifications as they will not appear again.
