 The tractor demonstration at the 1917 National Tractor show at Fremont. Nebraska, was preceded by several days of heavy rain, which soaked things up badly, but the little crawler type Cleveland tractor was ready for work each day and successfully over came all the adverse working condi- tions that it met. Naturally 1t at- tracted great amount of interest.
 The Cleveland tractor is in reality farm power plant. Attach a belt to it and it will run" anything there is to run This power plant can be easily moved to the work. Then when it gets there it will do the job at the mini mum expense. Therefore it is consid- cred the best investment a farmer can make for his place.

It can furnish power [, saw through any log and will not stall at this work any more than it will stall at blowing. If the owner of a CIeve- land has spare time he can mako ex- tra money doing power jobs for his neighbors.

HINTS ON GARDENING.
BY Jimmy Ribbon.

Many city folks who should. have a
garden also have the other kind Of
den. wherein is planted the seeds OF
knowledge from books that are seen
every day through the glass fronts of
their cases and the seeds of sentiment
suspicion and sorrow from other kinds
Of glass containers. The inspiration
for gardening, therefore, is often gain
ed in those precincts. Seeds are nee
essary to most gardens at least at the
outset, although some plants at the
set-out. In buying seeds give careful
attention to th1 pictures Of the vege-
tables. And be sure to have yourself
photographed in the act Of planting
them. You may get nothing but pic
lures, so this is quite important.

THE MUSTAcHE.

The mustache is the movable feast
Of dads upper lip.
There are five stages-and sometimes
only five hairs, to every mustache.
1t is first bold idea. That comes
when the prospective grower smites his
fist on palm and calculates: "Pn do
It'll"
In a couple OF days the mustache is
a suspicion. Then 1t develops into a
rumor. Next thing we know it is a
well grounded report; and finally, If
the perpetrator doesn't weaken, the
mustache becomes an established fact.
But in all stages from bold idea to
fact, 1t is, (and we say this under pain
Of peeving Pete Yoder), an abomina-
ton.

Boy Struck by Auto.

Last Thursday afternoon Orlin,
the ten year old son of j. w. Jacobs,
was struck and knocked down by an
auto driven by Wilbur Howell in
front of the High School building,
but fortunately he fell between the
wheels, and although the car passed
over him he escaped injury. Mr..
Howell was driving by the school
house at = slow speed and the lad
darted out from play with some
comrades. He started across. the
street, then saw the car and tried to
run back, but ran directly in front
OF the car. This accident has been
predicted for some time, as in spite
of all that can be done school chill
dren will persist in running out in
the street instead of crossing at the
sidewalk crossings, and the driver of
a car never knows which way they
are going to run. Mr.. Howell in this
case did everything in his power to
avoid striking the boy. but the acci-
dent was unavoidable on his part.

Ralph following with a second team
hitched to a lumber wagon. The team
he was driving was young one,
and a loose plank rafting in the
wagon frightened them and they
started to run. Ralph was unable to
control them and tney ran up on a
high bank and fearing that the wag-
on was going to upset Ralph jumped
and when he struck the ground his
right ankle turned over and several
bones We're broken, the bones pro-
truding through the flesh and into
the ground. Mr.. Street realizing that
he was badly hurt, drove home and
secured car and then a fast trip
was made to Leon with the injured
boy, and several physicians worked
for a number of hours in dressing
the wound. The injury was such that
it Will cripple him for life, leaving
the ankle stiff. There is also con-
danger of infection on ac-
count Of the bones which were brok
