A New Sort of Laplander.

A coach full Of English and Ameri-
can travellers stopped suddenly at
bennington. The guard unlocked the
door and young American gentleman
got in. An Englishman and his wife
sat next the window and before the
new conner could reach a seat the train
Iurched, the American stumbled over
the inevitable English baggage and
finally sat down in the lap Of the trate
Britisher.
"What are you doing?" he angrily
exclaimed. What sort Of fellow
are you, anyway, to stumble over my
wife and sit down In my lap like
this?"
ooh, l am Lap-lander," laughingly
replied the American. At this his coun-
trymen in the coach shouted; but the
EngIishman drew himself glow eringly
into his corner and sulked.
When the intruder left the coach at
the next station the Britisher turned
to the Americans, with whom he had
been conversing before, and inquired,
what under the sun" they were laugh
ing at when that fellow stumbled in"

ply.

A Benefit to Farrnera

The benefits that will undoubtedly
result to farmers from the recent In,
corporation of the International Har
VeSter Company which took over the
business Of the five leading harvester
manufacturers have probably not been
considered by a large portion of the
| farming community.
The economical necessity Of a consoli.
datlon of the interests of manufactur.
| ers and those of their farmer custo-
mers must be apparent to any one who
understands the present situation.
The increased and increasing cost of
material, manufacturing and selling
the latter in consequence Of extreme
and bitter competition between manu-
| facturerS and their several selling
agents-has made the business unprof-
table.
The two alternatives left for the
manufacturers were either the increas.
Ing of the prices Of machines or the
reduction Of the cost Of manufacture
and sales. The latter could only be
accomplished by concentrating the
business In one company.
AS can readily be seen, the forming
OF the new company was not stock
| jobbing operation but a centering Of
mutual interests. There Is no watered
stock; the capitalization Is conserva-
tive and represented by actual and
| tangible assets. There Is no stock Of
fered to the public, it having all been
subscribed and paid for by the manu-
facturers and their associates.
The management of the International
Harvester Company Is in the hands Of
wQ1l-ynnyUr nvT7nrion0o6
The officers are: President, Cyrus
II. Mccormick; Chairman Executive
Committee, Charles Deering; Chairman
Finance Committee, George W. Per-
kins; Vice Presidents, Harold 3. Nc.
Cormick, James Deering, VIM. n.
Jones and John J. Glessner: Secretary
and Treasurer, Richard r. Howe. The
members Of the Board Of Directors are
As follows: Cyrus Bentley, William
Deering, Charles Deering, James Deer
ing, Eldridge NJ. Fowler, e. H. Gary,
John J. GIessner, Richard r. Howe,
Abram NJ. Hyatt, William II. Jones,
Cyrus H. Mccormick, Harold &. Nc
B. Ream, Leslie n. Ward, Paul D. era
vath.
The International Harvester Com
pduy OWLS I'VE VI the largest harvester
plants in existence, The Champion,
Deering, Mccormick, Milwaukee and
Plano-plants that have been produc-
ing nearly or quite 80 per cent Of the
harvesting machines Of the world.
1t also owns timber and coal lands,
blast furnaces and steel plant; it has
a new factory in the process Of con-
struction in Canada.
1t IS believed that the cost of pro-
ducing grain, grass and corn harvest
ing machines will be so reduced that
the present low prices can be contin-
ued, and that consequently the results
cannot b. otherwise than beneficial to
the farmer. To maintain the present
prices Of these machines means to con-
tinue and increase the development Of
the agriculture of the world, for no one
cause has contributed or can contribute
more to this development than the
cheapness of machines for harvesting
grains.

FORTS DESTROY SHIPS.
Army Gets Best of the Navy in Mimic
Engagement.

Admiral HigginsOn's warshipS made an
attack on Forts Wright, Niche and Ter
~ Monday night, but after mimic bat
tie lasting nearly an hour the big shore
batteries had disabled every ship engaged.
Every battery in the forts was worked
with effect.
Just before midnight four vessels tried
to storm Prices Neck signal station, near
Narragansett, and their gun fire against
that point was followed by ninety-SlX
shots from Fort Adams. The attack on
the forts guarding the entrance to Long
Island sound began soon after dark. At
1920 Rear Rdmiral Higgins0n's feet was
reported as passing the lighthouse Of
New London. At the same moment came
q message stating that the battleships
had opened on Fort Niche at Gull Isl
and with their heavy guns. The forts
had not then returned the fire. At 9 p. III.
the Point Judith signal station reported
that Rear Admiral HigginSon was send
ing marines ashore to capture that point.
Fort Wright opened fire at 1920 on a bat
tleship believed to be the Indiana and
steaming rapidly toward Fort Terry on
the Long Island sound side. AfterWard
the guns of Fort Terry were heard, APP
DdFpllLlY lEdluGu On lliC pilbiNSAhit'' -
message was received from the signal
station at Fort Mansfield announcing that
the whole fleet was coming toward Fish
ers island. The ships were discovered by
the searchlights and the fire Of three forts
concentrated on them. The ships with
drew after an engagement lasting about
ten minutes.
The batteries of Fort Wright were one
sheet of flame for ten minutes and hun
dreds of mortars were thrown into the air
at angles that constructively dropped ter
rible explosive shells upon the decks of
| the ships. Col Davis, the district artil-
| lery commander, viewed the engagement
from Mount Prospect and sent telephone
REPORTS to Gen Macarthur telling of the
j battle.
In an engagement with the fleet L
/ inch breech-loading rife in the fort Went
| off prematurely, killing one private and
seriously injuring two others. The man
| who was killed was literally blown 10
/ pieces, and one of his arms struck anoth-
/ er private in the chest with such force
| as to in1ict severe injuries.
