such tractors working IL hours. The
average tractor owner is in position
to render effective aid in the produc-
ton campaign by helping those of
his neighbors who may be behind
hand with their spring work, and in
many instances, no doubt, week of
night work by tractor will go far
toward solving the immediate labor
problem Of a neighborhood. AT any
rate it is the obvious duty of the
tractor owner to do all the custom
work he can do this spring without
neglecting his own work.
1t should be borne in mind in this
connection that experience has shown
that in working exceptionally long
hours with tractors it is generally
the best practice to have one man in
full charge of the outfit and respon-
sible for all adjustments and repairs.

LUKE McEUKE SAYS

"At the beginning of time, God ere
ated the universe and man. But when
He came to create woman, He found
that He had exhausted His materials,
and that no solid elements remained.
So God unused awhile and thought it
over. Then He had an idea. He took
some moonlight and the wisdom of a
serpent, and the slenderness of reeds,
and their soft movement in the wind,
and the tears of rain cloud, and the
velvet of flower petals, and the grace
of roe, and the tremor of grasses,
and the vanity of peacock, and the
softness of down on a birds breast,
and the hardness of diamonds, and
the sweetness Of honey, and the cruel
ty of a tiger, and the wrath of the
fire and the GOODNESS of snow, and the
chatter of a jay. and the COO of a
dove-and out of these God created
woman"

not register until Thursday when he
was placed under arrest. but he now
is a member of Uncle Sans Marines.

applied for enlistment. Capt. Lyons,
head recruiting officer, was overjoyed
at the physical proportions of the
prospect" William is slightly more
than six feet tall and weighs about
165 pounds.
The examination went along
smoothly, and Capt. Lyons was about
to enroll the young man.
"Let me see your registration
card" he asked William.
Haven't got one." was the reply.
Didn't register"
Marshal Edgar H. James was call
ed and William was placed under ar
rest. Then It. was discovered that
William might register before City
Attorney Beckley. He did so.
William, still patriotic, returned to
Capt. Lyons and was accepted for
service with the Marines Louisville
