A RIGHT TO BE JEALOUS.

When the United States marine
corps forces, now occupying the towns
and cities of Haiti after a sharp brush
with the Cacos, learned that a num-
Der of Atlanta's fairest daughters were
banded together for the purpose of
adopting lonesome and forlorn Euro
pean soldiers, and would write letters
of cheer, sympathy and love to their
warning wards, they became a trifle
peeved to say the least. The marines
are perfectly willing to admit that
none but the brave deserve the fair
but they want to delve deeper into the
copybook maxim thing, and add:

at home.' Some of them have writ

FARMERS NEED TRACTORS.

"a horse is about as strong as five
men, and an elephant is as strong as
eight horses. And while we admire
American ingenuity" writes D. S.
Burch in the current issue of Farm
and Fireside in an article on Tractors
Do the Drudgery," 'let US not forget
that for centuries the elephant has
been the important draft animal in
India" An excerpt of the article fol-
lows: 1.-The elephant is really the
nearest approach to a living one-man
farm tractor. So the idea of concen-
trating horsepower as is done by trac-
tors is not so new after all. We've
simply invented a docile mechanical
elephant that can stand this climate.
The OK, the mule, and the horse have
been faithful laboring friends; but
somehow I feel that we need a me-
chanica1 servant too. Since attending
one of the big tractor demonstrations,
I have felt this still more keenly And
the man who gave me that confident
feeling was. strangely, a grizzled old
farmer who at first seemed a kill-joy
to everything new. This man was
conservative about new crops, new
methods of tillage, and new modes of
living. He hadn't gotten over the fact
that automobiles used to scare his
horses, and in two days I didn't see
him smile once: but he had come to
bpy a tractor. We've always needed
something better than horses he said,
to do the heavy work, and these trac-
