AMBRO ROSASCHI INTRODUCES
A TRACTOR ON HIS FARM

ing in the last few years, and from eN-
periences OF many farmers throughout
the country, the tractor is dong much
to solve the situation. Mr.. Rosaschi
has been considering the tractor as 8
solution of this difficulty for some tim,
but not until he had throughly invest
igated the experiences OF others did
he make the purchase. He has Inquired
that the outfit will save at least five
teams during the spring work and
several men, and during the fall and
winter it will furnish power for fresh
ing and the hauling of his produce to
the railroad. 1t speaks much for Mr.
Rosaschis progress, and his expert
ence will undoubtedly serve as guide
to his many neighbors, who will watch
the experiment with interest.

ployed to disseminate knowledge con-
cerning the census, Adjutant Cen
eral George A. White has written a
letter OF personal appeal to every ed

operation in order that Oregon on the
day of registration will know how to
register and that there will be little
or no confusion. By this means Cen
eral White is confident that the work
of registration will move without a
hitch when war census day, which has

Wilson, comes. Plans by which men
absent from their city or county can
register, as well as college students
coming within the requisites of the
act, are being worked out.

An eastern paper shows a picture
with the ladies wearing onion and
potato necklaces, demonstrating the
fact that things are valued by what
they cost rather than by their attrac-
tive appearance. This same eastern
paper also told of a certain young
couple getting married and their
friends, after comforting with each
other, decided to give the young
folks eggs for a wedding present be-
cause of the high cost of living, and
eggs were brought in cans, boxes and
crates to the wedding instead of the
usual cut-glass and silverware. Some
one asked the foung fellow the day
after what he was going to do with
so many eggs. James looked rather
hurt and said. Don't crowd me. We
