BIG TRACTOR SHOW AT
MISSOURI Estate FAIR
Typical Missouri Field Will Be
Scene of Practical Demon
stratiOn.

Many farmers have an ides
that the only use for the trac
tor is to pull gang plows anC
harrows across the field, but this
is but a small part of the utility
of these machines. Those who
have made a study of these ma
chimes have devised a great
many other ways in which they
can be used on the average sized
farm.
AT the Missouri State Fair
this year all of the ways will be
demonstrated on a 100 acre field
just west of the Fair Grounds.
Here tractors, both large and
small, will be shown to prospect
i've customers and those who
want to see just what these
much talked of machines can
do.
This hundred acre field will be
taken just as it was after the
last crop was harvested. The
tractor will haul the manure
spreader, showing the time that
it takes to prepare a field of
this kind according to the lat
est methods. The next day the
ground will be plowed. A gang
pillow that will make eleven fur
rows will be one of the features
Of this demonstration. Later
the ground will be narrowed
and pulverized. Then the ground
will be drilled. All of these OPP
erations will be done just as it
would be on the ordinary Mis-
souri, farm.
Other interesting features that
will be part of the demonstra-
ton will be pulley and belt work,
showing how these engines can
be attached to almost anything
that goes round. There will al
so be a demonstration of road
work which will show how the
farmer can utilize his machine
by hauling his crop to market
with it.
On the fair grounds there will
be a big display of all kinds of
farm machinery that is used
from the time that the ground
is prepared for the seed to the
time that the crop is ready for
storage. Lime pulvers, manure
spreaders, plows, harrows, drills,
reapers, binders, t~hreshing ma
chimes, ensilage cutters and fill
ers, clover hullers, hay balers
and leaders, in fact all of the
machinery that can be used on
the farm, will be on display and
in motion.
For one who intends to pur-
chase any kind of farm imple-
ments, no better place can be
found to look over an extensive
line in all kinds of farm ma
chinery than the Missouri State
Fair, September % to 80.

will be lost in the political scramble that is bound
to result from the unfair, petty, and we might say
detestable, politics resorted to by the democrats
and their republican (?) assistants from South
Haven in the consideration of this important mat
ter, Following are the comments of the South
Haven Daily Tribune in part:
We hesitate to credit the suggestions made here
this that the Board of Supervisors deiber
atey aimed to discred and cripple the county road
system by the selections made today for the commits
sioners that will inaugurate the system.
In fact, the selection of Mr.. Wsber who is of
the best road builders in the county and Of Mr.. Sta
peton, who is highly spoken of a capable business
man, contradict the assertion.
The selection of Mr. Converse, therefore, only
be ascrIbed politics. and mighty cheap, contempt
ibe politics at that. South Haven which furnished
large majority for the adoption of the county sys
tem is made ridiculous by the action of the board.
We hope supervisors proud Of the honor
they have upon the city, and that they will be
warmly congratulated for this splendid triumph of
efficiency and good government.

Red SOX Take Advantage Of Op.
 pOnent's Generosity

Boston, April 1.-The Red Sox again defeated the Athletics, winning yesterdays game by 8 to ?. Three Philadelphia pitchers proved either wild or were easy to solve by the Boston batsmen, who got nine hits. Except in the sixth inning, when Strunk and Oldring each doubled, following Cranes single, the Athletics could do nothing with Shore. Pen- mock, who finished for Boston, had poor control.
 Shortcuts fielding and the base running of Barry and Gardner were features. Gardner and Barry each pill fered two sacks. Myers, who pitched the last seven innings for the Mackmen, was as wild as a March hare. He gave seven bases on balls, Hooper getting two of them. Hooper scored three times, yet didn't obtain a hit.

MORAN A DIPLOMAT
 IN BOXING DEFENSE
Franks Strong Arguments Make Good Impression on Anti-Ffght
 Legislator.

Albany, April 14.-Frank Moran, pictures of his recent bout with Will lard, scored a, point in favor of boxing in New York state yesterday, when he paid visit to the capitol. Moran was introduced to a score of assem blyrnen and senators. He sat next to Speaker Sweet of the lower house for an hour.
 During his visit to the senatorial chamb Der Moran met Senators Jones' Foley and Gilchrist in the lobby. Jones is the father of the anti-bOXing bill in the legislature. In a friendly debate Moran convinced Senator Jones that football and other athletic games were far more brutal and in- furious than boxing.
 Moran pointed to the fact that in over fifty battles in the ring he did not show any marks of his engage ments and was in better physical trim than hundreds of football stars of the past. Moran made a big impression when he stated that the courage and fighting spirit shown by the French and English soldiers at the front was the result of their interst in boxing for many years past.
 After the debate, Senator Jones, whose argument against the boxing game was considerably weakened, said that nothing would be done with the anti-boxing bill until next year. Sen ator Gilchrist of Brooklyn then slapped Moran on the back and jok- ingly remarked, We'll take care of that all right"
 Many of the senators attended the Moran-Willard bout and congratulat- ed Moran on his courageous fight against such great odds.

The Span of Walter ,TnhnSon

Ine span or Walter Johnson Walter Johnson is now upon the edge of his tenth year in the Major frolic. And with his build and the easy pitching motion he has the Weiser Wizard should be good for ten years more.
 He is now twenty-eight years old and no pitcher in the business works with greater ease. He has a pitch ing motion without kinl1-as smooth and as simple as a piece of machinery.
 They will tell you that here and there Johnson is slipping a bit You can label this exactly so much bunk without wasting any further lan- guage. For his first six years John son allowed over two earned runs a game each season. In 1912, supposed by many to be his greatest year. he allowed 2.91 earned taVies to the contest
 For the last three seasons he has been at his best. Tn 1913 he yielded only 1.09 earned runs to the game; in 1914 he allowed III; in 1915 he lowered this to 1.55 If this be slipping, then provide us with a slump.
