and saidihe believed an army of
five hundred thousand men could
be raised in any state. On that es-
innate, the United States proper
could raise an army Of twenty
four millions-a right formid-
able number. Since the Presi-

G. S. Barry, the Pioneer newspa-
per man of Decatur county, has
been with us this week giving the
Journal Office a general cleaning up
and we are better equipped than
ever to execute your needs.-Par-
sons Journal sagls 31lGlst 70 8inN
While our brother G. Sterling
is all right and entitled to credit for
keeping soul and body together so
long as he accomplished that fact
in the country newspaper business,
we must set the Journal right in its
statement that G. Sterling is the
Pioneer Newspaper man Of Decatur
county. =" The founder Of the first
newspaper Decatur county ever
had, was Charles D. Barry who got
out the first issue Of the Decatur
Beacon, Sept. 10, 1880. Charles D.
Barry died in Purdy in the autumn
of 1881 and publication Of the De-
catur Beacon was continued by W.
v. Barry until the spring Of 1884,
when he moved To Lexington and
foundeded The LExINGToo PRoeREss.
Another brother, the late DR.. Henry
M. Barry, was also ahead of G.
Sterling in the newspaper business
in Decatur county--both at Deca-
turville and Parsons. We repeat
that brother G. S. is all right and
we, regard him as being luckier in
getting out Of than into the newspa-
per business. p a..io .ei a9.

time the price Of gasoline is great
source Of worry because of the vast
quantities consumed by motors. The
farmer who wishes power for his
tractor is not worried, because there
is now a complete line Of farm en-
gines and tractors that are guaran-
teed to BURN kerosene as successfully
as any gasoline engine will burn gaso-
line. i
It is claimed, however. that the ker-
osene engine to be practical is bhilt on
the horizontal order because they do
not depend on the splash system Of
oiling, but are fabricated by mechan-
ical oilers. 1t is said that upright en-
Eines cannot burn kerosene on account

time enlarged by taking three other
farms.
The farmer gets demonstration OF
what the tractol can do in such To-
cality as the one in which he lives.
OF course, an expert can run a ma
chine where green farmer would
make a failure Of IT The farmer is
allowed to see for himself just what
can be done with the expert out Of the
way.
There arc certain rules that arc
adhered to in the demonstrations.
For instance, in the public demonstra-
tions only one machine Of any one
make is allowed on the ground at one
time. This rule is rigidly enforced
to prevent crowding. However, if a
manufacturer has several machines
he can exhibit one one day, another
the next and so on.
With the widespread use Of trac-
tors the time may come in few years
when demonstration like this will be
superfluous, except for the pleasure
enjoyed at such outinga. But for

a charge Of kerosene is taken into the
cylinder and is exploded there is a
small portion that does not explode
but which falls down into the oil
chamber. This kerosene soon dis
solves the lubricating qualities of che
oil and the upright motor is without
fabrication. On the horizontal motor
the fabrication comes from mechani-
cal oiler which is operated from the
cam shaft, insuring a constant. flow
of oil to all parts of the motor as
long as the engine is in operation.

Don't Know What Hit Me-" Declares
 P. J. Pendergast

T don't know what hit me- is all Pendergast was able to tell Coroner John J. Phelan at the Bridgeport hos pital. Pendergast has a fractured skull and internal injuries and is in a serious condition. At press hour to- day Coroner Phelan began hearing statements from the crew of the troll ley car that ran down Pendergast and also from other witnesses. Monday morning while hurrying to work the injured man was struck by car at Crescent avenue and William street.
 Bartholomew Lombardo of East av- enue told Coroner Phelan that Fran cesco Minnito of 753 Pembroke street is the man who shot him Monday night He said Minnito attempted to rob him. After he had been shot he said friend of Minnito, whom he does not know, came along and cut him with a razor. This is substantially the same story he told the police.

 Stealing Fares Furs

Benjamin Pomerantz, a jitney driv- CT of 123O State street, is locked up at the police headquarters on the charge of stealing a set of furs valued at $500 from Miss Marguerite Sur ges of Sport Hill. About 8 week ago Pomerantz drove Miss Sturges to her home at Sport Hill. Miss Sturges did not have any money to pay the jitney- man and went to the house to get some. She left her furs in the car. When she returned the furs were gone The theft was reported to the police. Motorcycle Policeman Clifford Gorgas was sent to New York today and located the furs in a pawn shop They were returned to the owner.
