THIS SHOULD INTEREST
EVERY FARMER
From Saturdays Daily.

FROM saturdays ''diIy.
The J. |. Case Threshing Machine
company is going to put on tractor
school and demonstration at its
branch house at Mankatc, April "a,
25, 26 and 81 There will be a school
of instruction on operating the tract
ors in the forenoon, blowing demon
stration in the afternoon, and very
likely moving pictures of tractors cp-
Grating in France and Italy on the
firing line will be shown in the even
ing.
The importance of the farm tractor
has become so widely known that it
seems the farmer without farm
tractor today is out of date. The Case
company is going to the expense Of
having it's mechanical engineers and
research engineers from the factory
come and teach the farmers the fun
damental principles of operating farm
tractors to a success. Therefore, ev-
cry farmer should attend this school
and demonstration as it is entirely
free
There will be on exhibit the vari-
dreds OF farmers are buying the small
thresher SO that they can take care OF
their grain at the proper time with
out a loss.
Mr.. J. E. Gardner, manager of the
Minneapolis branch of the company
will be present four days and will
be pleased to meet his old time
friends, as in 1900 to 1905 he sold
threshing machinery and tractors to
many customers in and around Man
kato.
Information can be procured at the
branch house, which is located on
Front street, near the Northwestern
freight depot, as to where the plow-
ing demonstration will be.
1t is the duty of every farmer to
increase the acreage of crop, and
produce larger crops to help win the
war. 1t will be of interest to those
who will attend to note the vast sat
isfaction, and thoroughness under
which the tractor does the farm work.
Hay, oats, and corn are expensive
products at this time and a farmer
cannot afford to keep too many horses
on the farm. The tractor can he
utilized in cutting the grain and in
fact doing every part of the farm
work, pillow deeper and where tract
ors have been used, it has been shown
conclusively that greater crops have
been raised.--Advt.

whistle was sounded when the engineer
first saw the person on the track. AS
the train drew nearer the party would
step from inside of the rails to the
outside, and when the train was
about eight or ten car lengths away.
he observed that the person was on
the bridge near the west end and
must have had had plenty of time to
get out of the way of the train.
At this time the train was running at
the rate of about thirty five miles an
hour.
Mr. Huckenhull said that as the wo-
man approached the west end of the
bridge she turned and looked back.
There was no question about her
knowing the train was coming
immediately she sat down on the
bridge and it seemed to him that
she seized the boy and held fast to
him. AS soon as Mr.. Huckenhull was
convinced that the woman was not
going to rise he made every effort
to stop the train, but it was too
late.
Mr.. Huckenhull said that every day
people are seen walking on the, track
and will not step from inside the rail
until the train is almost upon them.
Then they will step aside and laugh
at the engineer if he starts to slow
down to avoid an accident.
Mr. HucSenhuLl said that he would
not say that the woman made de-
liberate attempt to commit suicide,
but he could not help but gain the
impression that she made no attempt
to leave the bridge after she saw the
train approaching.
The bridge on which the accident
occurred is about 100 feet in length

money with which to buy them, but
his sons had bought such bonds to
the amount of $1,000 if not more.
His daughter had bought 800 bond.
He had one son that was in the draft

rough life in Wisconsin. They would
dry out their corn on stoves made or
clay, feeding the fire with branches
that they gathered. They would
pound this dried corn and then grind
it in a coffee mill that they brought
from the old country. Thus they
made a corn meal, that served pretty
well for a porridge and for cakes. He
told this as Gn argument that he had
encountered many hardships to help
make this country what it now is
out of the wilderness that it was.
Mr. and Mrs. Hohenstein own 800
acres of farm land, 100 acres each, in
