Plow Driven By Self Contained
-, Engine.

A power-driven plow, behind
which the operator walks, as with
a horse-drawn plow, is recent in
vention, described, with illustra-
tion, in the March Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. The power.
plant consists of a two-cycle, 8 h.
p. gasoline engine mounted be-
tween the handles and geared to
two spiked drive wheels. The
downward pull of the pillow cut
ting its way through the soil holds
the drive wheels to the ground
and the spikes prevent slipping.
When the plOw strikes a root,
stump or large rock, the spiked
wheels slip and the machine can
be thrown out of gear instantly.
1t is then easily raised above the
obstruction by lifting on the han
dies, the engine is thrown into
gear again and the plowing pro-
ceeds.
The outfit may also be used for
other purposes than plowing. A
number of attachments are pro-
vided, including turning points
for breaking land, seeder for
planting corn, cotton and other
seed crops; disk harrows, weeders,
listers, sweeps and the like, for
Aaltivating; a spraying attach
ment, including tank and pump,
and a mower cutter bar and rake
attachment.

TICKET NOMINATED

A mass meeting for nominating a
ticket for the April election was
held at the G. A. r. Hall Tuesday
evening. The meeting was called
to order by Mayor G.S. Burney. c.
A. Stephens was elected chairman
and G.B. freeman secretary.
A full ticket was named as fol-
lows:
! Mnyor, G. S. Buney.
Police Judge, N. N. Nichols.
Alderman-First Ward, James
Coday;second, DR.. J. A. Fuson.
DR.. r. NJ. Rogers and J. B. Free
man acted as judges and j. W. Bra
zeal and N. S. Miller as clerks.
All the nominees were named by
acclamation except for may or. For
this Office there was quite a spirited
rivalry. Friends of Mayor Burney
had been active in an effort to se-
cure his denomination, and several
of Dr.F.H Riley's friends had been
active in his behalf. The doctors
popularity was shown by the fact
that of the votes cast he received
almost one half. One vote each was
cast for D Reynolds, Dr.J "A. Fuson
and Prof.J. A. Hylton. The doctor
has been here less than two years
and the fact that he secured so
complimentary vote in a contest
with such a strong citizen and pop
ular official as Mayor Burney is evil
dence of his standing with our peo-

The American Newspaper Annual
and Directory.

14lO pages, royal octave, cloth,
$500 net, carriage extra, postage
60 cents. Published by N. w.
Aver & Son, Advertising Agents,
Philadelphia.
The forty-fifth year of continu-
GUS publication brings the Mans
field Mirror the 1913 edition of
this comprehensive review of the
newspaper and magazine field. To
the publishers of this country and
to those having dealings with
them this work is most useful. The
facts and figures pertaining to
each of the 24,3Sl publications
listed are presented in cOndens-
ed and get-at-able form.
The Annual and Directory is
now the only publication of its
kind which is compiled from in
formation gathered with such care
and thOroughness each year from
original sources. George p. Row.
ell was the first to compile such a
work, and for many years he is
sued the American Newspaper Di-
rectory in the interest of publish
ers and advertisers. Following his
death the Directory, with its rec
ords, copyrights and property,
was sold to n. w. Aver & Son,
who combined it with their An
nual.
A specially valuable feature OF
the present volume is the popula-
tion of over eleven thousand
towns as given by the U. S. Census
of 1910 and the Canadian Census
of 1911.
AS always, special attention has
been given to the important mat
ter of circulation figures.
Supplementary to the general
catalogue are 20S lists of daily
papers, magazines, women s pub
lications, mail-order publications,
agricultural, religious and the
various trade and class papers,
each class listed under a separate
head. This useful feature of the
book is kept fully abreast of the
times, as is indicated by three of
its headings: Aeronautics, Moving
Pictures and Esperanto.
The Annual and Directory like
wise presents vast amount of up
to date gazetteer information
showing the transportation, bank
ing ana other facllltleS OF every
town in which a newspaper is pub
lished, together with references to
its leading industries and charac-
teristics. This feature is supple
mented by a specially prepared
map of each state, showing every
town. Convenience and
have been carefully
throughout, and the book
places at the disposal of publish
ers, advertisers, business men, stu
dents, librarians, etc., a vast
of fresh information not
to be obtained elsewhere.

SUCCESS OR FAILURE!

SUCCESS OR FAILURE!
To the Citizens of Mansfield:
sincerely appreciate the 10y.
al support given by my friends
many of whom are of long stand.
ing and l have always found
them tried and true by nomi-
mating me last Tuesday night by
such a good majority for a Sec
Ond term as mayor. 1 did not
aspire to the second term and in
sisted on my friends nominating
some one else, but this they re-
fused to do.
l understand that it has been
said in substance that under
my administration what little
amount was collected was spent,
and nothing done, and this is not
true.
In the first place, our city levy
is only % cents on the $4,000
assessed valuation and does not
furnish adequate means to do
the amount that we desire to do.
When l took charge as mayor
two years ago, there were some
old unpaid accounts that took ev-
cry cent and left depleted trea,
sury, and many OF the bridges
and culverts were decayed and
in a dangerous condition, all of
which were repaired and 10
built new.
We had one little concrete
crossing about 10 feet long
across an alley between Mr..
Freeman's and Mr.. Weeds. We
have built nine good concrete
crossings, and all of these have
been across our widest streets,
except one across the alley at
Coday's drug store. and it is a
good heavy one.
Many of the streets, especially
those leading into the city, were
almost impossible.
The one from Olathe had gull
leys moro than two feet deep cut
out of the center. 1t has been
put in good shape all the way
from the city limits to the depot
crossing, a distance of more than
hall a mile.
The street toward Ava has
been rebuilt from the depot
crossing to the branch beyond
Dave Moore's, a distance of a
half mile.
The street has been rebuilt
from the square to point near
the city limits toward Hartville,
a distance of more than one
fourth of mile.
South street has been rebuilt
from Young's Hotel to the Ava
road.
This makes a total of about one
and one half miles of street built
in good shape, with steam road
grader, at heavy expense.
Since our lighting plant has
been established. we have had
an expense of $25.O0 per month
for lighting the city.
These are a few of the things
we have accomplished with the
city's money.
We also have material on hand
10 oulld Otner crossings ana cul
verts, the construction of which
was stopped last fall by freezing
weather
We now have $3.50. 48 in our
city treasury, and, IN addition to
this, something over 5000 90
more will come into our treasury
before my term expires in May.
I have always advocated build
ing good concrete crossings, and
we condemned more than one
half mile of gravel walks last
summer and ordered new con-
crete in their stead, the con.

MORE USE FOR
YACHT HAWAII

Members of the Hawaii Yacht Club
will have more opportunities of sail
ing the transpacific racer Hawaii this
coming season than ever before This
was decided last night at meeting
of the club, when committee was ap.
pointed to revise the rules governing
the use of the community yacht. 1t
was the consensus of opinion that the
restrictions were too stringent, and a
suggestion was also made that the
yacht be available for charter as q
source of income, when not wanted by
members. In this event, of course, it
would have to be handled by some ex-
perienced sailor who would be respon-
sible to the clup.
The clubs finances were reported to
be in better shape than was the case
few months ago. The alarming de-
felt which faced the club after the
last transpacific race has teen parti-
ally wiped out, and prospects for the
future are bright.
