is A MARVEL AT FIGURES
Russell +. Barton Can Beat Any Ad'
ding Machine

The Register learned this week that
Russell +, Barton who for many years
taught school in New Haven, Bristol
and other places in Addison County
and who has spent the past two years
in Middlebury, Is planning to leave
next week for Berlin, N " TO make
his home there for time,
Mr.. Barton Is an arithmetical genius
When he dropped into The Register
Office, he suggested we should name
any number up TO 90, The sugges-
ton Of 81 as good number was hardly
out of our mouth before Mr., Barton
had correctly given the result OF multi
plicaton of 81 by ST. we tested his
skill with dozen different numbers
ranging up to 90, and every time found
him right in his result,
With equal CELEBRITY he took the
the square root and cube roots OF any
number from four to six figures; and
giving him from two to five minutes to
figure it mentally, he could take the
square of five figures; in which eases
the product amounted to hundreds OF
millions, 1t was all mental work with
out any trick attached to II, and hav'
ing been a hobby with Mr., Barton for
many years he has developed this
skill until he can probably rightlully
claim that there isn't man or an adj
ding machine that can do such stunts
in quicker time,

OPPORTUNITY FOR
TRACTOR OWNERS
International Harvester Company Will
Hold a Tractor School Here

OF all the machines a farmer owns
none is more important than his trac-
tor Especially is this true this year
Tractors must be in condition to work
day and night if necessary to make
possible the increased production of
Of food we need There must be no
delays due to unsatisfactory operation
no loss from misunderstanding.
To this end the international Har-
vester Company Of America proposes
to hold Tractor Schools in various
parts OF the country in order that their
users may get the best possible service
out of their tractors
One of these schools will be held at
] R. Cartmells Garage, Mddlebury,
Saturday, February 23rd The session
will open promptly at o'clock
This school will be absolutely free to
all who care to attend, whether they
are tractor owners or not. Nothing
will be offered for sale at this school
and there will be no selling talks. A
course of instruction in how a tractor
works and how to keep it working
will be strictly adhered to
The instructors are practical tractor
and engine men and the course is laid
out on large charts illustrated with
clear diagrams and described in simple
terms. 1t takes up the reasons why
an engine operates, what takes place
within the cylinder of an engine, symp-
toms that indicate approaching
trouble, how to look for trouble and
not overlook it, how to get the best pos
sible service from a tractor or engine,
new uses for tractors and many other
subjects of special interest to men in
this locality.
Those who attend the school will be
encouraged to ask questions on any
subject in connection with tractors
and engines, These questions will be
answered at the end of the school SEES
with engines and tractors themselves.
To be sure that every man who at
tends the school carries home with him
every point brought out there, a book
containing all subjects discussed at the
School will be given to every man.
Every farmer who owns a tractor or
engine should attend this School, but
more important still, he should bring
with him the man who operates his
tractor
Plan now to be present at every ses-
sion of the school, for the men who do
this will get the greatest benefit out of
it. Don't forget the date, and be sure
to be there-adv IT..

Real
Estate

The value of a farm is based
on the amount OF money de-
rived from it in clean profit
yearly.
Will your farm pay you the
same percentage of profit this
year as last, if yon have to
double the wage paid to your
men?
Perhaps owing to the short
age Of labor, you will not be
able to find help.
Can you handle the place
alone on a paying basis'
Would it not be best to dis
pose Of your farm at a fair
price, rather than take your
chance with the thousands
next season?
No charge unless sale is ef-
fected.

Newspaper subscribers who have
been accustomed to paying their sub.
scription at the expiration of the

their paper in advance as they do
when they subscribe for a newspa-

order issued to weekly papers by
the War Board.
This order of the Pulp and Paper
section of the War Industries Board

necessary for every publisher to put
his paper on paid-in- advance
basis, to cut out the dead-heads if
Iany, to eliminate the exchange
courtesy with other newspapers, and
adopt other means of economizing
on the use of newsprint paper on
account of the shortage that is now
and will continue to exist for the
period Of the war.
A general reduction of Is per-
cent in the amount of newsprint
used, is also covered in the order.
