health week observance.
when the need for a baby hospital in
Memphis grew very urgent several bust
ness men got together and suggested that
all single men he taxed for the support
OF such a hospital, he bachelors heartily
approved Of the scheme and went through
the form of making It a law While It
was a farce. It took we'll and they had
no difficulty in getting the money.
They got a building, installed gradu-
ate nurses. physicians gave their services
and the hospital turned out to be a great
success. The hospital is managed by the
Associated Charities, but II Is financed by

Eight -Year-0ld
Bakes for Sale at
Big Suffrage Bazaar

Cakes baked by an Syear-old girl with
out the least outside assistance, not even
a word Of caution or advice! This really
happens In Omaha, and the cakes them
selves will be for sale at the Suffrage
bazaar held today at the home OF Mr..
and Mrs. Thor Jorgansen.
The little baker u the daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Harry Scogin and has been bak-
ing since she was years old.
EVERY normal child wants TO work in
dough or batter" says Mrs. Scogin when
asked about how It ever happened that
the child is doing this work; instead of
Orvas playing with mud pies. chafing
her hands and breathing germs. she does
something constructive and OF benefit 70
the family-for she does make the most
excellent cake OF all kinds"
Little orva began her cake-maiSing at
years OF age. She was always fond OF
watching her mother mix and put the
cake batter in the pans and care for the
baking.
"oh, how / would love to make a cake
all by myself. she said.
The mother told her how 20 make plain
cake, and the effort was a success. From
plain cake the child began more ambitious
confections. for she is an apt reader and
can spell every word In her mothers
cook book.
Now Mrs Seogin gives no worry for her
fancy baking. and the best part Of all
orva does not disorder the pantry nor get
flour on the floor, nor spill sugar on the
shelves-she finishes up her baking with
neatness that would give credit to a
Dutch housewife, even TO the washing
and putting by OF her pans.
And I just love IT," she explains;
doing baking Is more fun than playing
baking. and you can eat II besides"

or uneven ground. This height, also,
gives a better leverage on the load.
The power plant of the tractor
should be a motor of the simplest
possible construction with low speed
and the fewest possible number of
cylinders to odeliver the required power.
The high-speed motor wears faster,
uses more fuel, and relies too much
upon its speed for power. Conse-
Quently low-Speed tractor reduces
possible repair costs and gives maxi
mum of service with minimum of
trouble.
If a light tractor Is to mean economy
on the farm, it must use kerosene as
fuel. The increased consumption of
gasoline is greatly raising the price,
and experts predict shortage in the
supply for the near future. On the
other hand, kerosene is not of so
general use and consequently is far
cheaper. In selecting kerosene trac-
tor great care is needed, for many of
the sO-called kerosene-burning trac-
tors are not able to live up to their
claims under actual tests. Be sure to
select tractor that can burn kero-
sene as evenly, smoothly, and with as
much power as gasoline. Test the
contents of the fuel tanks yourself.
Finally, when you go to market for
a tractor, select the product of rep
utable company who have had years
of experience in making successful
kerosene tractors. They will not be
experimenting at your expense in time
and money, for their product will be
standard. They alone, in the tractor
field, can realize that their best inter-
ests are to serve your interests and
give you your moneys worth in trac-
tor power.

HORSE SENSE IN TRACTOR
BUYING
Something Of Interest to Every Farmer
in this Community

in this Community +.
That the light tractor may replace
Che horse in the heavy grind of farm
lieved him from pounding over the
groceries, is q proposition to which
most farmers In this vicinity will
agree. But when it comes to replac-
Ing their horses with a tractor, many
obstacles appear, as was shown at q
recent tractor plowing demonstration
where all sorts of tractors were going
through their PAGES.
A salesman had shown an inter-
ested farmer all the good points his
tractor possessed. He had plowed for
him, shown him how easy it was to
control the tractor, and somewhat
against the farmers will, had got him
into the seat and let him start it,
steer it, and stop it. He then began
to tell him how much better it was
than horses for farm work. "That's
Just it," broke In the farmer, 'if it
was horse I'd know what you are
talking about, but this thing might
be wind broken and spawned in both
hind legs and probably wouldn't find
1t out until it was paid for and l had
taken it home and used it a while.
No, IN not in the market today, I've
got to look around before buy.'
In this plain statement is shown the
frame of mind of the majority of pro-
spective light tractor buyers. They
all know how to judge horses, because
they have raised them, broken them
to work, and studied them. Buying
a new horse is simply measuring him
up to standard specifications.
But how is a farmer to know he is
gettingSomeWhere near value received
when he buys tractor with no ''stand-
ard specifications" on which to rely2
Or, putting tt as it really is, how Is he
to know what are "standard specitica-
tions" when all tractor manufacturers
claim theirs as standard? How is he,
In other words, to detect spawned and
weak lunged conditions in a tractor9
From the results of experiments
general summary can be made Show
ing the points of merit necessary for
a good, serviceable light tractor to
have. For . the average, farm, the
amount of power should range in the
neighborhood of eight horse on the
drawbar and sixteen on the belt. On
the average 16O-acre farm, according
to census reports, there are six work
horses and a colt. The tractor with
an eight-horse drawbar pull gives
little more power than the average
farmer has in horse-fesh and is, there
fore, a practical size. A tractor for
use In all sizes of fields should be
low and short coupled. This makes
short turns possible and gives avail
able power where orchards are to
be cultivated. Select one with two
drive wheels. A single drive wheel
cuts the tractors chances at the load
In half. Would you buy an automo-
bile with a single rear wheel? Two
drive wheels With a ditferential are
absolutely necessary to meet all trac-
tion conditions. BE sure, also, that
the wheels, both front and rear, are
high enough to give clearance in soft

FOR A SCHOOL AT LIBERTY HALL

Mrs. Herbert Franklin, President
Georgia Division, United Daughters
of the COnfederacy, has authorized
Dime Day, for the state, in the in
terest of the contemplated Stephens
Memorial School, at Crawfordville.
Friday March oath, is the day that
has been selected by the educational
branch of the Division.
A bill was introduced last July in
the legislature to establish a branch
of the state university in Liberty
Hall, the home of Alexander H.
Stephens. Every one wishing to es-
tablish fund for boys and girls to
borrow money for an education will
contribute a dime for this purpose
on March oath.
Commenting on the advantages of
such a school the Augusta Chronicle
said:
What more fitting place could be
chosen for the establishment of an.
endowed institution of learning that
would enable southern boys, poor but
ambitious, to get an education than
in the home of Alexander H. Steph-
ens-the great cOmmoner of Georgia,
who was a poor orphan, and who had
to borrow the money to get his edu-
cation and who all during his life
never let an opportunity go by to as
sist Georgia boy to get an educa-
ton when it was in his power to
help him. He loaned the necessary
funds to at least fifty boys, and there
is no monument or memorial imagil-
able that could so carry out his wish
es and 50 perpetuate his spirit as an
endowed institution where poor boys
and girls could get an education
through all time to come And what
an inspiration during future years to
boys born in humble circumstances
and of poor parents, or possibly or
phans like Mr. Stephens himself, was
in the very atmosphere of Liberty
Hall, where the memory will ever
live of the great Georgian, who de8-
pite physical weakness and poverty
rose to such heights and received
from the people of his state the great
est honor in their power to bestow. .
