SUNDAY, May 18, 1919. 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.” .. a. FISHING PARTY RETURNS Mr. and Mrs. W. M. Humber, Mr. and Mrs. Frank Sheffield and C. H. Burke returned Saturday afternoon from Spring Creek, Fla., where they spent several days fishing in the gulf. The men caught plenty of sun-burn and a number of fish, some of them of the 25-pound class.

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. i ' COMPJ ETE LINE i Sterling Silver V ••; J Community Plate Buy nevi before Another Advance THOS. L. BELL Jeweler and Optician AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER. 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. STRAND THEATRE ADMISSION 10c and 20c.
