For Better And Cheaper
Farming

There will be an immense attend
ance of farmers interested in the new
power at the Kansas Traction Plow-
Ing Exhibit In Hutchinson, July 10th
to "a, according to present signs. One
thing which has aided in the interest
is the Hesslan Fly special run over
the Santa Fe lines In Kansas the
second week in June. To encourage
better methods of control for this in
sect, deep early cultivation was reco-
mmended. Tractors help great
deal in getting wheat land ploWed or
listed at proper depth early in the
season. Judging from the comments
of the visitors to this train a large
number of farmers will attend the
mammoth tractor exhibit at Hutch
insOn from the territory covered by
the special.
This interest In the tractor show
is decidedly encouraging" said Dean
A. A. Potter, of the Agricultural
College, few days ago. I'VE are
getting fine support from both the
manufacturers and the farmers, and
1t is certain that both will be we'll
represented. believe that the main
reason for this is definite need for
show of this kind In Kansas, and
especially in the smaller makes, than
IN any other state, and this interest
is increasing. This has come about
quite largely because there is a need
for cheaper power.
1.-THE use of the engine for the
heavier work like blowing, will make
Il possible to keepmares for the light
er work to an increasing extent. 1t
will also make 1t possible to increase
the yield by deep blowing, and since
Kansas produced its $50 million BUSH
els Of wheat last year, almost all OF
which was sold at very small price,
1t is much interested In anything that
will increase the yields. All Of these
factors combined will bring an i'm
mense number of farmers to Hutch
inson during the show"
Every effort is to be made TO make
all the tractor information possible
available to farmers. A hall has
been provided for lectures and dem
onstrations, where the work will be
carried on at night. There will be
free band concerts, a smoker, with
free cigars for everybody, and other
amusement features. Many Of the
tractor firms are bringing new equip
ment; for example, the Avery COM
pany will show its new electric self
starter for tractor and also cleo
trio headlights.

His Emperor Is Uncle Sam

The ideallst definition of patriotism
makes 1t the noblest emotion that
ever stirred manor woman, or
child.
The modern sordid European con-
ception Of patriotism has made man a
marauder. In the name OF patriotism
he burns, taunts, ravages, tortures,
torpedoes, robs, asphyxlates, starves,
hates his brother-and violates his
brothers wife and mutllatss his
brothers children. This brand of
patriotism lsdying.
l was born in Europe and am
ashamed Of 1t. Happy the man born
into Uncle Sans family.
L am ashamed of Europe. Europe
Is madhouse, an insane asylum, a
collection of families fighting each
other with the ferocity of wild beasts
injected by hydrophobia.
And l am proud to call myself an
American, because here In this land
called America common folks like me
-Frenchmen, Germans, Austrlans,
Englishmen, Italians, Servians, Hun
garians, Russians, Jews, everybody
have chance.
l, Frenchman, and proud of my
antecedents and the accomplishments
OF good which the land of my nativ.
ity Is responsible for, / AN one of
those In America who has an equal
chance.
My son is privileged to try to be-
come President of the Uniten States
of America!
My patriotism reaches across the
sea to the poor German peasant who
Is lighting for the kaiser. My pat
riotsm also reaches the moujik, who
doesn't know why he Is fighting My
heart Is with the Frenchman, natur-
ally; the words La Belle France"
may bring tears to my eyes-but II the
French should invade the United
States, why, then am for Uncle Sam,
our mythical emperor" who is of
and for the common people like my
self.
Here, brother critic, In this great
new land dedicated to liberty, you
and your little boy and girl have a
chance to be more than slaves. This
Is our country, and not the emperor's
country, nor the kings country, nor
the cars country. We control this
land If we will. 1t is our fault II we
do not vote to keep right our own.
My critic calls me ignorant and ad-
vises me to ask the various chancell.
ors of the various branches of the
European madhouse why Europe has
gone stark, raving mad-and then
says the chancellors will not tell me.
We do not need to ask for Informa-
tion Of the chancellories of Europe.
They could only say that the Hohen-
zollerns and Savoys and HapsDurgs
and Romanoffs and Hanovers, all re.
lated more or less closely, had cheap
row, and decided to grab some more
money and power from each other
and so set the millions of patriots
to numbering each other.-George
Saint Amour in the Cleveland Plain
Dealer.
