Swift refused TO pay the men.

PARIS. April 5.--France's sublime
patriotism-the noble self.sacrifice
OF her women-was weirdly and won
derfully demonstrated by the strang-
est Easter recorded since Paris be-
came the worlds fashion center.
The heavens. moved to pity. wept
throughout the day. The clouds CO
operated with the colorless feminine
attire. and the absence OF flowers to
produce a black Easter sharply in
contrast to the gayety and the color
full scenes OF normal years.
There was no fashion parade In
the boulevards. Bots Bologne was
deserted. The scenes of the fashion
able Madeleine. and Of the poorer
quarters of Sacre Occur and Notre
Dame we're virtually duplicated. The
usual contrast between the wealthy
and the poorer dressers was lost In
the black pail.
The only relieving colors were oc'
casional splotches OF blue grey coats,
red trousers and the white bandages
Of wounded soldiers. The only young
men in sight were those In uniform;
the other males we're old men and
little children.
Ninety-five per cent OF the women
we're gowned in black. The only new
women's attire shown was In mourn
ing bonnets and dresses Hundreds
self-sacrifcingly were wearing las,
years creations, even the fashion
able Madeleine failing TO show sin
gle new chic creation. The only re
lief from black, which has become
internationally the woman's khaki
was an occasional white wing flower
hat. or. less frequently. a purple.
In taper lighted Notre Dance the
vast audience seemed composed en-
tirely OF swaying shadows. Sex was
understandable because of the alb
sence OF colors until a wave OF sobs
from the feminine worshippers, min
Cling with the soprano carols, re
vealed the actual sufferers OF the
wars cr1elties.

Little Devil Does

The reputation OF being the only tractor
that win cultivate corn Is enjoyed by the
Little Devil" the famous little three

tured by the Iart-Parr company and now
on exhibit al the Midwest implement

Hart-Parr company believes in specializa-
ton, and they have specialized In the
manufacture OF tractors.
The original Hart-Parr engine was built
by G. W. Hart twelve years ago Tho
Little Devil" Is a highly specialized evo-
luton from that original machine. Ever
since Mr.. Hart can remember he believed
he gould build better tractor than any
onei else, Even I'm college h eworkcd his
way through school by building and sell

dreamed rosy dreams but never Tor an
instant lost sight Of the fact that u was
work, not dreams alone, that accom-
plishod things. -
Somehow he managed to build hls first
tractor, but Immediately was compelled
To sell IL I'm order to procure material for
tho next Twelve years ago n company
was organized, and In that year eighteen
tractors were made That seventeen of
those are now in active operation speaks
of itself for tho quality Of tho product.
In that twelve years the company has
resisted all temptation 10 build anything
but tractors, At this time they have on
the market only five types. distinguished
ono from tho other chiefly by difference
in size, with consequent difference In
horse power. They have now a machine
that will enable the corn raising farmer
OF any state. whether he owns an eight
acre farm or an s,oOo-acre one, TO utilize
the engine instead OF the horse.
The Hart-Parr people have eternaliy
