Month Of Harvest Moon.

Aside from the autumnal equinox,
September each year is marked by an
other astronomical event of considera-
ole interest, namely, the so-called har-
rest moon, it being the full moon near
est the autumnal equinox. The harv-
est moon rises at nearly the same time
for several successive evenings in,
stead of nearly an hour later from
night to night, as is usually the case.
and it is from this continuous run Of
bright moonlight nights that this
noon is said to derive its name, farm
ars as rule taking advantage Of the
extra light to gather in their late sum-
ner crops and store them away for
The winter.

HARD-COAL OUTLOOK
IMPROVING DAILY
Passing OF "FIu" Epidemic Helps To
Increase Output At
Mines

The anthracite region has lost an
even million tons of-coal through the
influenza epidemic, according to fig
ures from Washington announced re-
Gently by the coal committee. The
"speeding-up' effort begun some time
ago under national auspices to in
crease coal production has been null
fed, said the administrator, by the
epidemic, and the chances now are
that none of the extra coal which was
expected will be mined in time for use
this winter The effects of the cpl
demic in the mines will begin to be
felt in this city this week and next
week, it is said. Deliveries from the
mines probably will slacken.
However, the outlook is not dark.
Within the last few days interviews
have been held with nearly all of the
leading coal dealers in town and their
opinion is, in the main, that they will
be able to take care of the necessities
without trouble.
According to published statements
coming from the offices of the Ma
tional Fuel Administration, the coal
outlook for the country is good. DR..
Garfield's organization seems to be
in working trim and he is getting CO.
operation both from the miners and
the public.
The soft coal situation, as far as
Annapolis is concerned, is in good
shape. with the virtual assurance that
all essential industries will be taken
care of. The public utility corpora
lions are said to have large reserves
of soft coal on hand already.
Annapolis proximity to the soft coal
mining fields assures this city of being
able to secure soft coal on short notice
if necessary.

that he must do il in the most sooth-

Another rookie had likewise married
a girl who was stranger to his moth

saIvaaino ! Ship Sunk 100 Years.

Work has been started on Boca
Ciega (Cojirhar) by a Cuban salvage
company on the wreck of Spanish
vessel sunk more than hundred years
ago. The principal objects that the
company expects to recover are forty
two cannons, which, according to the
divers who performed the preliminary
exploration work, are still in a fine
state of preservation. some mounted
on the deck and the others lying close
to the wreck on the floor of the sea
at a moderate depth which renders
their extraction only ordinarily diff

a nice sleigh ride and a few nice cold
snow balls, but being the snow was
too cold and the hands too warm, they
all went back to the Oakes hospital
where the hostess served a delicious
lunch. Covers were laid for nine

hostess favorite colors. After the
luncheon, games and the Dr's.' favor

diagrams and describe in simple
terms. 1t takes up the reason why an
engine operates. what takes place
within the cylinder of an engine,
symptoms that indicate approach
ing trouble, how to look for trouble
and not overlook it, how to get the
best possible service from a tractor
or engine, new uses for tractors and
many other subjects of special inter-
est to men of this territory.
Those who attend this school will
be encouraged to ask questions on
any subject in connection with trac-
tors or engines. These questions will
be fully answered at the end of each
session. Tractors will be on hand
and students will be given an oppor-
tunity to acquire practical knowledge
of their operation.
To be sure that everyone who at
tends the school carries home with
him each point brought out there, a
book containing subjects discussed at
the school will be given to every man.
Every farmer who owns tractor or
expects to own a tractor should at
tend this school. If he does not op-
crate the tractor himself, he should
send the man who does operate it,
and most important of all, he should
send his boy for at one of these trac-
tor schools he will gain considerable
practical knowledge of tractors and
machinery in general, which is of the
most importance to the farmer of the
present day. Plan now to be present
at each session of the school, for the
men that do will get the greatest
benefit out of it.
Parties desiring to attend this
school should write to the Internation-
al Harvester Company of America.

He declared the aims the country
seeks must be achieved and will be.

U. s. Optimism Is an Asset.
Speaking of optimism as an asset,
he said it has been "our source OF
wealth in every task that nation
ever undertook" and should be the
ccuntry's guiding spirit in the war.
The President was challenged to
name the reasons We are in the
war;" Mr.. Lansing said. "He has
named these aims and has done SO
frankly, without equivocation and very
definitely. The statement. has not
been received with favor by the Ger.
mans, but unless we achieve those
aims we have no sure foundation on
which to built an enduring peace"

OF all the machines a farmer owns
none is more important than his
tractor, especially is this true where
tractors must be in condition to work
day and night, if necessary, to make
possible the increased production of
food we need. There must be no de-
lays due to unsatisfactory operation,
no loss of time due to the lack of
knowledge necessary to successfully
operate the tractor.
To this end the International Har-
vester Company has instituted a
series of schools of instruction for
the benefit of the farmers, students of
agriculture, and business men inter-
ested in farm tractors.
Through the efforts of the members
of the Oakes Commercial Club, who
believed that one of these schools
would be of considerable benefit to
Oakes and it's surrounding territory,
they induced the International Harv-
ester Co., to hold one of these schools
under their auspices on February 5th,
9Th and 7th, in the Locke building,
sessions to open promptly at 9 a. m.
A cordial invitation is extended to all
farmers and business men of Oakes
and vicinity, also Of the surrounding
towns. 1t would be gratifying if each
of the surrounding towns would send
a large representation.
It will be strictly a tractor engineer
ing school, nothing will be offered for
sale at this school and there will be
no selling talks. It will be a course
of instruction on how to operate a
tractor, care for and keep it in proper
order. also on the various kinds of
work that can be accomplished with
it.
The instructors are practical men
with special training for this work
The course consists of series of lee

prepared which illustrate with clear

Mr.. Remission promoted the Yellow
stone Trail, trans continental high
way, from Plymouth Rock to Seattle
and during that time was sent to
Washington to secure the passage of

through the Standing Rock Indian
Reservation. The bill was passed and
the road was built, although it was
the first bill of it's kind that ever
passed the Federal Congress-.
Mr.. Remission also had the honor of
putting the first successful statewide
campaign in seven weeks which Sc
.cured for the city of Dickinson the
