WINNIPEG MOTOR COMPETITION.

The Twenty second Annual In
dustrial Exhibition held at Winnipeg
July 3 to 90 provided number of in
teresting features, but none more so
than the motor competition. The
interest shown by the people of Win
nipeg and vicinity indicates that
they understand the part the tractor
has played in the development of
their territory.
1t is interesting to compare the
competition of 1919 with those of
previous years. Seven years ago the
internal ombustlon farm tractor was
almost unheard of; all of the tractors
entered in the contests of a few years
ago we're steam tractors. This year
tire were only five steam engines
competing and the internal combus-
tion tractors not only proved to be
more efficient and economical, but
more reliable as we'll.
! The entire time lost due to stops
because of tractor trouble was 27.5
minutes; of this time the steam

ing eight and the Canadian Heer four.
In the blowing contest, as in the
brake test, the Avery and Case tract
ors were we'll matched. These tract
ors have about the same speed and it
was very close race for the six miles
they plowed.
The Avery pillow earned a great deal
of favorable comment-especially its
self lift feature. This feature adds
greatly to the ease with which the
pillow can be operated as all of the
bottoms can be raised or lowered by
manipulating single lever
There were only three entries in the
blowing contest held Thursday.
These we're the Avery, the j. l. Case
Plow Co. and and the M. Rumley Co.
In this contest the Avery pillow was
granted two gold medals. while the
Rumley pillow was granted the silver
medal.
In this blowing contest each pillow
opened a back furrow and made one
complete round. Many of those in
terested were dissatisfied at the short
ness of this contest, claiming that a
pillow could not be judged properly
on single round.
These motor contests are surely
worth while; they have made Winni-
peg the largest distributing point for
farm machinery in North America

by people everywhere. All who en-

The blowing contest was held
eleven miles from Winnipeg and the
first train for the field was at 1870.
There was large crowd waiting for
this train and they found the tractors
ready and waiting when they reached
the scene of the contest. There we're
lot of detail for the judge to ar
range, however, and they we're not
arranged until long after noon.
The Aultman- Taylor Tractor was
the first to start Four others, the
Case Steamer, International Harvester

and a Case gasoline tractor we're all
that competed the first day.
Flowing conditions Wednesday we're
not nearly so favorable as Monday
and some of the first tractors to start
dropped a pillow bottom after going
the first rounds.
The Holt-Caterpillar and the Can
adam Heer tractors, because of pc
culiaritles of design, attracted a lot
of attention in their tests. Both pull

engines lost II. 6 minutes and the in
ternal combustion engines of all
kinds and classes only 15.9 minutes.
1t is also worthy of note that the
larger models of almost every type
showed themselves much more
efficient and economical than the
smaller models.
Judges of the contest we're: Prof.
A. r. Greig, of the University OF
Saskatchewan Prof. l.. w. Chase, of
the Department of Agriculture En-
cheering at the University of
Nebraska and M. L. King, Expert

1t is noteworthy that the tractor

Kerosene class plowed the cheapest

being only 1877 cents. This engine
also secured the greatest number of

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way to Get Rid Of Them, and
Occasion Was Made a Good
Object Lesson.

A r~amshackle building in Winston.
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest Of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly iumigated.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour Of destruction and giving rea-
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the placards said: within the
past Is months two men who sold
fruit, etc, here have died Of tuber-
culosis but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building Is so open that
it cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means Of disinfect-
ing Is by fire."
At the appointed hour, while mil
lions Of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis.
'ributed to the crowd looking on.

"Evil Eye" Based on Fact.

Most people have heard of the Evil
Eye" and To- we are informed by
Charles l.. Smith, a noted New York
refractionist. that the superstition
arose because everyone, without know
ing it, has n eye that is different in
power and activity from the other. He
designates it the dominant eye" and
according to whether it is the left
or the right children will grow up left
handed OF right-handed. 1t is sheer
cruelty, and may entail lifelong mis-
cry, to force a child to become am
bideytrous. Such a course may result
in wrecking the nervous system, and
car only be cured by a reversal Of the
process sc that the dominant eye"
may regain natural and undisputed
sway. Men who are ambidextrous had
better keep a strict guard over their
actions lest they should be credited
with the "evil eye."
