ALTO TO STAR CITY

An automobile PASSENGER service
between Pine Bluff and Star City has
been established by w. M. Galloway
of this city, with two passenger cars
in operation. Two trips daily each
wav are made, leaving Pine Bluff, at
the Hotel Pines, at a. IN. and p.
m, and leaving Star City at a. m:
and 5 p. M. The service allows OF
considerable saving in time and trou
bic for persons having business at
Star City and other points along the
route.
The value of the annual orchard
products Of the United States reaches
total of $140,000,000.

PEMBlNA-rHs PRETTY.

Perhaps in no one thing have the peo.
pie of this city been more negligent than
in advertising the natural beauties and
advantages of this little city and sur.
roundings. While the citizens have en-.
joyed these beauties and advantages,
many of them since they were born, yet
few have really realized them, fewer yet
have ever sized them up in comparison
with the prairie towns near and distant,
and fewer yet have thought it worth
while to tell anybody outside about it
aud invite them to come and see. 81 :.
During the years past the city authori-
ties have quietly acquired some twenty
or thirty acres Of park sites within the
city limits but as yet little effort has
been made to add to natures gifts in
adornment and care. Besides the land
acquired by the city, large part Of
which is wooded, many miles of wood
land occupy the banks Of the Pembina
and Tongue rivers, mostly in their prim-
eval state. Woods. prairie and tho wat.
ers of the three rivers give variety Of
scenery, and shelter and beauty that are

This writer found plenty of black rust

hand at about the usual date owing
largely to the hot weather of July which
hastened the growth of vegetation al
most miraculously. The wheat market

The real question 10 not what q tractor
can do in On hour; not what II caA do in
. day, perhaps not even what IT, nay do
in some certain week, but Whist can it
do in monitor for the whole ySAts In
otter words dc 1t reliable? Wilt stay
on the job3 Will it work ton. twelve.
fourteen hours day for six days IN tho
week and four weeks in month";
When the tractor is made that viii
work like that it will have to b simple,
strong aud have considerable seserse
power at Az times. These three ele-
ments are what are necessary 70 keep It
out Of the repair shop. Simplicity is;
necessary because the operators are not
usually expert machinists. Simplicity
will make accidents moro easily focseen
and prevented. and repairs more readily
made.
Strength in . tractor is necessary, but
the addition of unnecessary weight is
undes,reaole. Only the repair shop will
in time bring the desired minimum of
weight aud the maximum of strength.
When the manufacturer finds that one
certain part Of his machine is contiau-
ally breaking he knows that part needs
more or better metal; when he fads
another part lis rarely broken then he
studies il be will not be able to reduce
the metal in that part. That has been
the history OF all farm machinery and is;
now the studyuof the automobile makers.
Reserve power is also . necessary
thing in all machinery. No machine,
ought to be expected to 'stand.up' un.
der . full strain at all times. An auto
is rarely called on for but small part;
Of its power. 'hut farm tractor is ex.
pected to run ten hours or moro day
pulling full load and do it day after
day. That is expecting great deal
from piece Of machinery.
But as we said at the first, tractors
have come to stay. Hundreds Of tract
ors are now working in this valley and
doing good work. They may never take
the full place of farm horses, but that
they will take the place Of some Of the
farm horses and doit we'll, has already
been demonstrated beyond reasonable
doubt.

lNFANTlLE PARALYSIS

Infantile paralysis ls increas sing through.
out the eastern cities and apparently
gradually working it's way westward.
In New York city where it first started
as an epidemic there have been Yearly
700 deaths of children from THE disease
which shows mortality Of about one
out OF every four or five cases. Besides
this 1t would have perhaps been better
that many of those who have lived if
they had died rather than be more less
helpless cripples for the rest of tteir
lives.
As yet the dread diseases is more ter.
rble because of the want Of knowledge
concerning both its contagious or epide-
mic character as we'll as treatment of the
victims. In all these so far, doctors are
practically at sea. While quarantine
measures are being taken, yet nobody
knows just how the disease spreads.
Nobody knows why it is specifically a
disease of children while adults are rare
ly affected.
Sporadic cases are likely to appear in
and place though very often other cases
in the same locality will occur and later
the disease will disappear. This has oc.
Cured in places all over the country in
clvding this valley in past years, but
this is the first time that the disease has
assumed so great proportions in SO large
a part of the country.
While we may congratulate ourselves
that we at present appear farfrcm the
shadows of this infantile mortality, yet
we are not immune and whether in town
or country we should keep sharp
lookout and anything at all suspicious
should be reported at once to some local
physician.

GOOD ROADS AND
APPROPRIATIONS.

Below We give an extract Of what the
government is doing to help along road
building. This is only the beginning. 1t
will not be long before al the trans-con
tinental highways will be kept mp under
the supervision Of the government and
than we people in the Red River Valley
can look for the best roads Of any place
on the American continent. All these
highways which have beea designated
as leading thoroughiares between larger
commercial points, like the Meridian
Road and others will be of immense
value to people living in the neighbof.
hood traversed by these roads. Don't do
snything that will tend to obstruct .
main highway that is officially marked
but do every thing you can to keep 1t in
good repair. The following is the ex-
tract:
The sum Of es5,OO0O00 of Federal
funds is made available for the construc.
tion of rural roads. by the passage Of the
Fsderalaid road bill which became a
law on July IL, 1916. OF this sum,
5000, 600 is to be expended Tor the con-
stsnction of rural port roads under coop.
erative arrangements with the highway
departments of the various States, and
elQ, COT, 600 is to bs expended for roads
and trails within or partly within the
national forests. The act limits the Fed
eral Governments share in road work in
cooperation with the states to percent
Of the estimated cost of construction.
Federal aid may be extended to the con
struction of any rural post road, exclud-
ing all streets or roads in towns having
a population 2,50O or more, except the
portions of such streets or roads on
which the houses are, on an average,
more than 200 feet apart. ~ \
Five million dollars is made available
for expenditure during the fiscal year

appropriation is increased at the rate of

sum provided is twenty-five millions,
making a total of seventy-five millions.
In addition, an appropriation of 81 ,00o,-

THE PROGRESS OF THE WAR.
G.G. Thompsou

News from the European conflict
occupy comparatively small space in the
daily papers. After two years, even the
killing and woundiue Of thousands daily
gets monctonus and stale. The world is
getting hardened to bloodshed. Only
such extraordinary events as the German
attack on Verdun or the late sdrive" OF
the allies arouses more than casual in
terest. But there is one part Of the
telegraphic news that is Of more than
ordinary interest-to those vitally inter-
ested-the published lists of killed,
wounded and missing. Those who have
never had friends or dear ones in con.
tending armies can hardly realize the
tragic interest with which q mother, a
wife, sister or a sweetheart scans these
lists, so closely and yet so deardingly.
In these lists mo news is sure good
news" to these readers.
The British and French have appa-
rently held all of their last months gains
Notwithstanding many fierce assaults
made by the Germans. and later reports
are to the effect that they have made
some small gains while heavy fighting is
going on for the possession of certain
points; At Verdun there is sporadic
fighting but the heavy offensive of the
Germans has apparently abated.
The Russians report gains practically
all along the lines from Riga south and
in some places have their enemies on the
retreat. In the far east Grand Duke
Nicholas is beating the Turks according
to the Russian reports. The Italians re
port gains against the Austrians. Thus
Germany and Austria appear to be on
the defensive on all sides.

TRACTOR HMRNilNG.

yet the tractor is il an experimental
stage in several important particulars,
but has passed the experimental stage
as a general utility farm machine. 1t
will take time and experience to work
out it's economical features and use. but
that it is useful is no longer a,question.
There are now more than one hundred
and fifty different manufacturers of farm
tractors. as we'll as an almost innumer-
able number of patents. This in itself
shows the demand and sales.
The tractor is to some extent a sort of
by product of the automobile and especi.
ally of the auto.truck.motor,b bnt as an
actually it is more and more beginning
to resemble a stationery engine on
wheels driven by its own power.
In the development of tho farm tract.
or. rather strangely, the heavy powered
type was the first. Such tractors we're
lifted to pull fron eight to twelve plows
and could also be used as threshing pow.
ers. During the last few years the one.
man, two or three plow machine has
been developed and is proving the most
popular.
So far in the mechanical contest be-
tween large and small tractors perhaps
as yet We have not arrived at any very
definite conclusions as TO economy except
that generally speaking the small tract
or is better for the small farm. The
first cost may have considerable to do
with this matter as the small farmer
seems willing to invest say $4,000 to
81 900 in a small tractor when he would
not be willing to invest from 81 500 to
81. 500 in the larger machine.
Generally speaking there seems to be
but little difference in the cost per acre
between the large and small machines
provided both machines run steadily
day in and day out. And the cost per
acre for either when figured in all de.
tails does not vary very much from the
horse drawn plows.
AS between horse power and gasoline
power the question of economical work
has yet to be definitely settled as to dol.
lars and cents. But in another eco.
nomical sense there are great differences.
1t seems to be settled fact that there
are times and places when the horse is
the better machine while at other times
the gasoline power is the best.
We heard a man say that he could
plow more in season with four horses
than anyone could with three.plow
tractor. Perhaps in this statement he
struck at the root of the whole matter.
On Saturday we saw the eso.called Hap
py Farmer" tractor drawing three plows
through four inches of dry quack grass,
pasture sod at gait of about three
miles per hour and apparently doing it
with ease and was not sweating a bit
though the day was very warm. And
the tractor named Is typical of several
other machines that are doing similar
work in this locality.
1t is apparent that the remark of the
gentleman could not be true in that case.
No four horses could have worked but
very few hours, even if it were possible
that they could have drawn the three
plows at all. But as We said this brings
us to the real root of the matter.

and Leon. The score at the end
of the game rested favorable to

game was a hard fought one.
Roman managed to keep a tie or

than the boys and were worsted
with a score of 26 to 0, in favor
of Leon. Oh! Oh! Oh!
