1t is particularly an orchard tractor,
having low, wide wheels, narrow
tread, short wheel base and short turn
ing radius. A special feature is that
the tractor may be driven from the
seat Of the ordinary wheel pillow or
harrow, enabling one man to drive and
operate the levers of this plow and
cultivator with perfect ease and con-
venience 1t is one man machine,
light in weight, with all control levers
conveniently arranged.
To obtain the greatest efficiency the
front wheels are made the traction
wheels; also the steering wheels. In
the rear are smaller plain wheels,
close together, with flanges to hold
against side slipping, used simply as
trailers, to which the pillow, cultivator,
harrow or farm wagon Is hitched the
same as though coupled to the small
wheels used on the rear Of the ordi-
nary tongue when blowing with a
team.

steel frame, mounted rigidly to the

Gently, has a poor opinion of the eul-
ture of the average American man.
"The average business man, he
said, sis too little interested in any
thing outside his business. The women
of the country control culture and
higher ideals The man takes too selfish
an attitude toward himself and his bust
ness. We should fill our lives with
idealism. Man who simply sees in his
vocation means of getting the better
of his fellowman destroys his power
to get satisfaction from anything"

DEMOCRATS NAME
STATE TICKET

Allentown, Pa, June 15.-Represen-
tatives of the democratic party of
Pennsylvania met in convention here
today and nominated the following
state ticket:
Governor-webster Grim of Bucks
county.
Lieutenant Governor - Samuel B.
Price of Lackawanna county.
Secretary of State--John l. ,Blakeslee
of Carbon county.
State Treasurer-Samuel B. Hilson of
Somerset county.
The refusal of c. LaRue Munson of
Williamsport to run for governor and
the certainty that State Senator Grim
would get the nomination robbed the
proceedings of much of their interest
The resolutions embodied the fol-
lowing;
The present national administration
has been convicted In the eyes of the
world of being in league with corpor-
ations favored and capitalists who
seek selfshly to grasp the rich ma
tional resources of our distant pos
sessions in order that they may in
crease their already swollen and dam
gerous wealth and tighten their con-
troll of the comforts and living of the
people. The scandal of the disposi-
tion of the friar lands in the Philip
pines and the ore and mineral wealth
of Alaska is a national disgrace for
which the republican administration is
directly responsible. The retention by
the President of his inculpated Secre-
tary of the Interior Is an affront to the
honesty and moral sense of the nation.

GOVERNMENT BEGINS ACTION
AGAINST WHOLESALE GROCERS
MUSCLE SHOALS PROJECT
WILL BE COMPLETED WITH
AID FROM GOVERNMENT

Washington, June 15.-(Special)--
Some three months since Representa-
tive Richardson asked the rivers and
harbors committee of the House of
Representatives to appoint a special
committee of three members to con-
slider the Muscle Shoals project and
submit a report to the full commit
tee on the bject
After exhaustive hearings and a full
examination of the elaborate reports
made on the Muscle Shoals project by
two separate boards of engineers and
a review of these reports by board
of review of engineers the sub-com-
mittee presented to the full commit
tee of rivers and harbors the above
resolution which was unanimous's.
adopted by the full committee
The difficulty that existed in con-
nection with the development of wa
ter power at Muscle Shoals on the
Tennessee river was the difference in
the estimated cost of the work in the
calculate tions made by Messrs. Baker
and Washburn, the representative en-
gineers of the Muscle Shoals Hydro
Electric Power company
The board of review in its report in
timated that the cost of construction
by the army engineers was too high.
The object of the resolution passed is
to refer the matter back to the board
of review and ask that board to re-
wise its estimates of cost.
The board of review will give full,
hea rings to Messrs. Baker and Wash
burn, who represent Muscle Shoals Hy-
Electric Power company.
The army engineers expressed TIE
opinion that the government of the
United States could afford to con-
tribute as it's share to the compile
ton of the work at Muscle Shoals, in
the Improvement of the river the sum
|of s7,740,000. In this opinion the board
of review concurred.
1t is believed that the reasonable es-
