Missourian Perfects Machine After
Two Years Work.

ing two years to perfect.
The particular feature of the plow
is the mode of attachment of the gang
Dlows to the engine in such a way that
when rock or stump is struck by one
OF the plowshares the forward motion
of the engine is stopped and the plow
can be disengaged. This permits the
use of the plow in rocky or stumpy
ground. where an ordinary power plow
could not be used at all.
The propellng power is a gasoline
engine, mounted directly on the frame
of the plow, which is gang, carrying
two 12-inch shares.
Two wheels from binder, known as
bull" wheels, are used in place of the
two usual main wheels, while behind
these is a smaller single wheel which
runs in the furrow behind the plow
and serves as guide wheel. The
three wheels are the only ones carry

Just as II horses were attached to 1t.
Mr.. Potter has used the machine to
do all of his plowing for two years and
1t has given splendid satisfaction. The
engine uses about gallon and half
OF gasoline an acre.

Tells HOW FAST
YOU ARE GOING
PASSENGERS MAY LEARN CARS
SPEED BY EMPLOYING SIMPLE
METHODS
Railroad Expert Describes three Plans
For Use of Travellers.

Passengers riding on trains often
ask the question, How fast are we
going?" This query can be answered
readily and accurately, according to
Charles Il. Mitchell, material inspect
or, test bureau of the Baltimore &
Ohio who describes several methods
of ascertaining the trains speed in an
article recently written by him.
The simplest and most exact meth
Cd OF determining the speed of the
train is to count the number OF click.
made by one side of the car in a Civ
en- time. Ordinarily the rail is thirty
three feet long and the time of count
ing is twenty two and one half Sec
onds. If one counts fifty clicks in
twenty two and one half seconds the
train is travelling fifty miles an hour.
Thus if one passes over one rail thic-
ty three feet long in twenty two and
one half seconds he is travelling at
the rate of one mile an hour.
Another method requires reference
to a table for quick computation of
the speed. This plan is to note the
time required to pass from one mile
post to another. If it takes sixty sec
.nds the train is travelling sixty miles
an hour. If it takes forty seconds to
pass between mile posts the train Is
going ninety miles an hour If it takes
100 seconds the train is travelling at
the rate of thirtysix miles an hour.
Without table considerable figuring
must be done by this method.
A third plan of calculating the speed
is to count the exhausts from the en-
gine in given time. This latter
method is impractical for those who
have no technical knowledge of en-
gines and is of no value to the aver
age traveller.

He flushed.
"It's not that ! wouldn't like t,

no occasion to feel offended"
"What good reasons could there

"They are bad reasons" ,"she smiled
"but strong ones. Good-by, Mr.. Mer-
roll"
He took her hand.
"Good-by," he said.
They looked long into each others
eyes, appraisingly, and then he turned
and went out. She listened to his
step on the stairs-a slow, deliberate,
reliable sort of step, entirely differ
ent from the sort of step she was ac-
customed to hear.
Then the front door closed behind
him. She rose and, moving swiftly
across the room, her rose-colored dra-
peries swirling about her, she con-
fronted herself in the mirror, criti-
cally.
81 am ross-looking," she thought.
"And discontented and spoiled and
sulky. | didn't use to be; but l am

She moved from the mirror to the
window. A white world lay before
her, Shining in the sun. And there
were frost tracings on the window
panes.
She wondered if he would try again
to know her, or if he would accept his
congo without a struggle. 1t was in
her heart to wish that he would strug-
gle-not that she would ever let him
succeed. Her life with Sedge made
friendships with other men too haz-
ardous! But in order to justify her
estimate of him he must struggle.
She wondered idly if he would.

box Suggestions Worth While
Housekeeping is hard work chiefly
because we haven't thought out all
the ways of making it easy. Every
new invention makes this plainer and
fortunately not all the labor savers
are too expensive for the people who
need them most. A small extra out
self many times over, even in the
first few years.
Take the matter of doors, not full
sized doors that break wall into
small halves, but little doors that you
would hardly notice unless you were
the busy woman whose time and
strength were being saved.
If the architect knows anything
about his business he provides enough
doors to get people from one room to
another; but when it comes to doors
for dishes, food, and the other house
keeper will do well to offer few sug-
gestions from her own experience.
Perhaps there is to be food closet
opening off the kitchen; she will want
small high outside door cut so that
the grocer's boy can stand on the
oack piazza and put his parcels on a
shelf inside. No woman really enjoys
dropping her mending or cleaning to
go down two flights of stairs and do
the honors to box of tapioca.
Probably the new home is to have
wood fires; if the Housekeeper has had
any experience in removing ashes by
the dustpan methods she will want
her new fireplace TO have a neat little
door in the floor TO start the ashes
quietly on their way down cellar Per-
haps there is a handy little wood cup
board on the celia? wall; in that case
she will want door in the floor of
one of the windows so that wood can
be pulled through and the woodboX
filled without Z, round about journey
by way of the cellar stairs.
Ice boxes built into the house have
as a matter of course outside doors
for putting in the ice. A separate re-
frigerator can usually be placed so
that a small outside door allows tho
iceman to work from outside the
house. Sometimes the plan of the
house is all that architect could wish
and yet leaves a long journey from
dining room table to kitchen sink;
:. little door in the wall between, with
a shelf on the kitchen side to take
the dishes, may save before long sew
eral miles of extra steps.
A labor saver that is sometimes
thought of too late is the Ice box
drain. If there is laundry or lava
tory in the basement it is an easy mat
ter to have pipe from the refriger-
ator connected with it; If there isn't
letter go to the expense of extra
plumbing when the house is built than
stoop to lift heavy pan of water
from the floor twice a day for years
and then find hopeless flood the one
time the pan is forgotten.
And while we are putting in con-
veniences let us not forget the dumb
waiter. There is nothing very new
about 1t, but no new invention has i'm
proved on 1t. A dumb waiter that
runs from basement to attic saves
not only steps but backaches and
strains, slight enough at the time.
but not at all slight after they have
been adding mp for ten or fifteen
years.

back moodily, her hands clasped be-
hind her head, staring at the ceiling.
She was still lying there motionless
when Sedge knocked at the door,
"Gerry!" he called saftly.
"Yes?" she answered, leaping up.
She crossed and opened the door and
stood in the aperture regarding him.
"May come in for moment?" he
asked.
She released the door, turned, and
preceded him into the room. He stood
near the mantel-shelf, his arm resting
upon it; she returned to she couch.
And, though she asked no questions,
her whole manner was an inquiry into
his reason for disturbing her. And
presently he answered this inquiry,
after an awkard pause.
81 wanted just to spend few mo-
'~c"ts with you," he said. "It's so
ul here. You don't mind my
uoting?"
No." she answered
His dark eyes rested upon her in
different face appealingly.
care you-down on me, Gerry?"
"No," she answered.
For an instant longer he regarded
her. Then he turned and buried his
face in his arm.
"I'm not fit to live!" he groaned.
"Oh God! What beast l am"
There had been time when she
had thrown herself into his arms, had
kissed away his tears, and comforted
him, soothed him.
That was before she realized that
his remorse was merely the reaction
of his nervous system, overstrained,
and had no basis in sincerity. She
had learned by bitter experience that
this penitence and thirsting after bet
terment was merely the last stage of
his debauch.
A silence fell between them. In her
eyes was the sympathy and yet in
stinctive repulsion that she felt for
creatures horribly MANNED or deform-
ed or afflicted physically.
He sobbed a little, smothered his
face in his arms, and eventually look
ed across at her.
you'll not go back on me, Gerry?'
he whispered.
She made no answer. Her silence
terrorized him.
you'll not go back on me?"
"Not so long as l can endure it and
it is convenient to me to stay" she
said calmly. She had long ago put an
end to the pretense of loving him.
She was naturally honest, and his
infatuation for her-an infatuation
built of his pride in her and his awe
of her strength and his respect for her
truthfullness-enabled her to deal
frankly with him.
"Don't" he cried. "I should die
if you'd leave me. I'll never do it
again, Gerry-truly! Never! I've had
enough! Good God! l can stop if 1
like. And / WILL / promise!"
"Yes, yes," she said. 81 know"
The horrible face offended her.
"You don't think can? You'll see.
Wait. l can do anything for you!
Just wait. You'll love me
again-if l turn over a new leaf?"
Maybe" she said. 81 don't know"
"I'll make you love me-"
81 think" said she wearily, 81 shall
never love any one again unless / am
made to. I will never love any one
willingly"
"I'll make you," he said. "And
we'll begin again. There's still
chance for me in the diplomatic-if I
pull up. Buck up, old grill We're
going to be happy yet"
He whispered the last mysteriously.
"Yes?" said she grimly.
"Did you see me at dinner?" he
asked. "Not a drop"
His eyes were proud. :.
81 determined this morning." he ad-
ded solemnly. "Never another drop.
If | take any want more. I'll stop
entirely"

There is hardly farm in Tehnesseel
