1-MAN TRACTOR
TOBESHOWNAT
WORKONFARM
Out. on the N. M. Edwards farm,
3 1-2 miles east of Americus on the
River road, a tractor demonstration
is to be held Thursday, May 22, at 10
o”clock, to which every farmer in the
county is invited.
D. A. Carmichael, of Carmichael &
Sons, local distributors for the Mo
line Universal tractor, has made ar
rangements with the Moline people to
show the farmers just what a Moline
will do.
At the same time Mr. Carmichael
has arranged for a special moving
picture to be shown at the Strand tea
ter on Wednesday and Thursday, May
21 and 22. This picture will be run
with each performance, and any far
mer or land owner may see the picture
free by applying to Carmichael &
Sons, 223 Cotton avenue, for tickets.
“No farmer can afford not to see this
splendid picture,” said Mr. Carmichael
Saturday. “The picture begins with
the spreading of manure, the tractor
hitched to a manure spreader, and con
tinues through the entire season. And
here’s one very particular reason
why the picture is interesting to far
mers: Every operation shown Is a
ONE-MAN operation. It requires only
one man to handle the tractor and the
equipment.
Prove One-Mgn Claim.
“The picture continues with the
spreading of the manure, then the
hitching of the plows and the turning
of the soil. Next is seen the harrows at
work preparing the soil for the seed.
A close-up picture of these operations
shows very conclusively that the one
man operation is successful.
“Following the harrows are the
planters, in this instance planting corn.
The cultivation of the growing corn is
shown in its several stages. The close
up of the sowing of grain is very in- 1
structive and interesting. Next is the
harvesting processes, with the one
ma a operation still in process, show
ing the machinery actually at work.
Then the hauling up to the barns, cut
ting for silos, threshing, etc.
“The picture is one we want every
one to see. It is a real romance of tne
farm. It’s 1919 farming.”
Mr. Carmichael is most enthusiasitc
over the possibilities of machinery on
the farms, and the fact that because of
shortage and high prices of later that
the farmer must begin using ma 'em
ery
Controls Seasons, Too.
'v'e propose to control the seasons,
to-),’ said Mr. Carmichael. ‘Heretofore
when the farmer had a long rainy sea
son and got behind in his crops, he
could not overcome this handicap.
Now. with a Moline, he can plow two
and three shifts a day. There is a big
headlight on the front and a smaller
light that shines directly over his
plows or other implements at work.
Thus supposing a farmer is three
weeks behind, he can run his tractor
day and night and within a week or
ten days he has caught up.
J-The Moline is not only a one-man |
,'ffair, but has reduced the turning ra !
dius to where within 16 feet we can
turn with tractor and plows. No oth- 1
er machine can equal this.
“The Moline people have a standing I
offer of SI,OOO to be given to any man'
who can show any average farm work i
that the Moline cannot do.
“In these tractor demonstrations. |
like the one on next Thursday, we are |
always glad to welcome our compet-l
itors and their machines. There’s noth
ing a Moline likes better than compe
tion in the plowing field.”

AMUSEMENTS
Lillian Gish Has Fine Comedy Bole.
Comedy again appears as a happy
attendant to the playing of Miss Lil
lian Gish in her newest role, that of
a country girl in “A Romance of Hap
py Valley” David W. Griffith’s second
Artcraft production which will be
shown at the Alcazar theater Monday
Admission 10c and 25c.
Miss Gish’s efforts in comedy in
“The Great Love” were rewarded by
general aplause from the critics. Uni
der Mr. Griffith’s directioi she has
created a new and delightful charac
ter and her part as Jennie Timberlake
in the new production is even more
sparkling.
' She appears as the only child of an
id'.- likeable farmer in the Ohio Val
ley country, a man who neglects his
little fields but attends most industri
ously to his sleep. He wishes nis
daughter to dress as ner mother di.
To be confined to the rural styles of
a generation past and at the same time
array cueself to attract the interest cf
Joihn Logan, Jr., is a si-jrenu task
for ner g.rlish ingenuity.
Her trials are not entirely confined
to fascinating the eyes of John Logan,
Jr., for her father is addicted to head
aches and often needed her atten
tion in the night. So she arranges a
signal system of quick and effective
simplicity. Miss Gish makes the char
acter one of delightful whimsicalities,
a unique and fascinating personality.
The comedy is fuller than any Miss
Gish has attempted in the past, and it
become her with the same artistic
charm as the sterner roles.

Promising Opening.
The traveling showman was waxing
eloquent as he described the charac
teristics of his wild horse from Tar
tary,
“tadles and gents,” he said, “this
hanhnal is a real terror. If there’s
any gent in this comp’ny as fancies
hisself as a rider, Til give him five
pounds for every minute he sticks on
this hoss. I’ve rid hosses all my life,
but this hoss is beyond me. I've tried
’im every way, but ’e shakes me off
in ten seconds.”
“Why* not get inside him?” queried
a humorist.
The showman waited until the
laughter had died down.
“My lad." he said, witheringly, “Pve
thought of that. But nature has been
unkind to 'im in the matter of mouth;
it ain’t big enough. Now, if it 'ad
been yours—”
But the humorist did not wait to
hear the logical conclusion of the
hypothesis.
Naval Nickname*.
Curious nicknames are applied to
vessels of the British navy. The
Ariadne is known- as the “Hairy An
nie,” or “Haggy Agony;" the Narcis
sus, as “Nasty Sister;’’ the Cressy
as the “Greaser;” the Inconstant
as the “Inkstand,” the Iphigenia
as the “Silly Jane;” the Lucifer as
the “Match Box;” the Hecate as the
“He Cat,” or "The Tom,” and the Nep
tune as the “Jew’s Harp.” In the
American navy similar nicknames
have been used to some extent The
Sassacus was known as the “Sassy
Cuss;” the Miantonomoh as "My Aunt
Don’t Know;” the Wissahickon as the
“Widow Higgins;” the Winnebago or
perhaps the Wyalluslng as "We Know
She Goes Slow.” —Chicago Dally News.
Would Be -Lonely.
A little friend of mine is quite a mis
chievous little boy, and after a day
of play with the boys of the neighbor
hood his conduct is not always every
thing his mother could wish. But he
is quite a lovable little chap, too, and
was one day showing his affection for
his mother in true boy fashion, with
hugs and kisses. His father looked on
approvingly and said: "That Is good,
son. That is the way I like to see my
boy. Can’t you always play nicely and
be good?” The answer voiced the feel
ing-of Young America; “Sure. I can,
but I’d have to play by myself.”—Chi
cago Tribune.
