FARM TRACTOR DISPLAY
AT A. KRAMP E. co,

The present week is known as trac-
tor demonstration week, and A.
Kramp & Co. is participating in a ma
ton wide movement for the promotion
of tractor farming and the production
OF increased foodstuffs from this coun-
try. This movement, known as Ma
tional Oliver Week, has been institut-
ed to promote tractor farming and is
sponsored by the Oliver Chilled Pillow
Works, South Bend, Indiana. The
idea behind the movement is. to i'm
press upon food producers the vital
fact that food will win the war and
the equally vital necessity of ordering
farm implements and machinery in
advance of the customary fall order
ing time in order to insure having the
machinery when it is needed.
On Tuesday there was a parade of
the Eagle tractor and Oliver gang
plows handled by the Kramp company
OF Watertown. 1t passed through Main
street and attracted considerable at
tention, displaying the farm machin-
cry and also the Universal milking
machine handled by this firm. The
plOWs are made from two in a gang to
30, run with one or more tractors.

say they have orders ahead. Keep
busy, grille; fame and fortune are
yours"
But for once the magic words failed
to exert their spell. Fame" consid-
cred Joie dismally; what would 1t
mean, with David not near to see?
"Success"-what joy is success, with
that brave heart far across the seas
David, wounded perhaps-the thought
came to her like shock. Joie arose
81 am going home" she announced,
''fOr a visit"
David had written that he was leav-
ing soon; she must stop first at his
home. This new fear allowed her
no other course. The little mother
greeted the girl in subdued gladness.
David was In his study; she would
call him.
But JOie fastened down the hall
"Oh! let me surprise him." she said,
and tapped at the study door.
"Come in" cried that dear, familiar
voice, and JOie entered. Across the
lamplight they stock gazing at each
other.
"Wait," said the girl 81 want to
tell you, l have not come back because
l have failed, but because-I love yOu
David. Because in all the world there
Is no success or fame or joy-apart
from you
And when. after a long and blissful
time she raised her face from her low
er's shoulder, familiar object upon
the wall attracted her attention-a
row Of odd frames was strangely ia
miliar. Suddenly, swiftly, the girl
withdrew from the embrace to exam
Inc closely. Yes, here were all her
poor little paintings. So, David had
been the one customer-David, alone.
II wanted to help you, dearest" he
murmured. II had to be sure you were
happy"
Then slowly, and with a trembling
smile, JOie came back to the waiting
arms. Il am happy, David, beloved"
she said.

Eighth Grade Grads,

Seventy-four eighth grade graduates
received diplomas Tuesday evening
Parents and many friends attended
the exercises in Turner Opera house
Supt. BertO urged upon every one
the continuance of education. No child
must quit before he or she has four
years of high school training. Military
service is made for those over Is
years. The war must in no way inter-
fere with the child's education. The
standard of living depends upon our
future generations. Shall it be lowered
by the taking away from them the one
important factor in life-a good edu-
cation. The state is no longer issuing
labor permits to children over 16 years
but now issues permits only to those
over II years.
The class as whole has demonstra-
ted their loyalty to country by being
loO per cent in Red Cross work, buy
ing literally of Liberty bonds and aid
ing in food administration. They have
organized an anti-loafing decree to
be enforced in vacation. Nearly all
nave secured positions to aid in pro-
ductlveness for the period of vacation

GEORGE HOFFMAN, WRITES
FROM SOUTHERN CAMP

Mayor Charles Mulberger is in re-
ceipt Of the following letter from
George Hoffman,, now in camp in
South Carolina:
We are way down here in South
Carolina in Camp Wadsworth. Some
hot country, believe me, that is day
time, but the nights are cool-almost
too cool.
| am with Co. A, Military Police, at
present. l have been with this COM
pany about week. l am with a bunch
of good fellows. They are mostly from
the eastern states. The only Water
town boys | get to see are Pete Euper
and Melvin Norbert The other boys
are gone to the rifle range at Camp
Greenville, about thirty miles from
here
We have been doing quite a good
deal of drilling and l get by with it all
right but my feet are tired at night. l
hit the hay at $50 p M and get up at
$50 a. M We are getting pretty good
eats-had chicken today for dinner
and beef the rest of the days.
How are all the fellows at home. l
suppose they are taking them away
fast. | would like to see Meyer down
here drilling. Haven't received my
uniform yet l look like a lost sheep
without it. There are two other big
men in this camp wearing civilian
clothes, but l am the biggest of them
all. | did lose fifteen pounds up to a
week ago today but weighed myself
on the same scale today and find that
[ have gained five and a half pounds.
| think when it comes for examina-
ton for oversee service it will be a
case of go home for me unless condI-
lions change.
Well, Mully 1 will close, hoping to
hear from you at least Best regards
to all the boys.

There are some born abroad who
have come to this land for a greater
freedom and broader opportunities and
have sought and received the privi-
leges Of American citizenship who are
sWayed by dislike for some ally or by
the sympathies of German kinship and
fail to see that the time has come for
them to make good the obligations of
their sworn oaths of naturalization.
This is the oath that the applicant
for citizenship makes:
That he will support the Constitu-
ton of the United States and that he
absolutely and entirely renounces all
allegiance and fidelity to any foreign
prince, potentate or sovereignty that
he will support and defend the COnsti-
tuition and laws of the United States
against all enemies, foreign and do
nestle, and bear true faith and allie
glance to the same
"FaIse to Their Caths."
All these naturaliZed citizens who
are taking part in obstruction to our
government in the conduct of the war
are false to their oaths, are forfeiting
their rights of citizenship, are repudi-
ating their honorable obligations, are
requiting by evil the good that has
been done them In the generous and
unstinted hospitality with which the
people Of the United States have well
coined them to the liberty and the op-
portunities Of this free land. We must
believe that In many cases this is done
because of failure to understand what
this war really Is.
This is war Of defense 1t is per-
fectly described In the words of the
Constitution which established this M.
ton, ITO provide for the common de-
tense" and ITO secure the blessings Of
liberty to ourselves and our posterity."
The national defense demands not
merely force, but intelligence. 1t re-
quires foresight, consideration Of the
policies and purposes of other nations,
understanding of the Inevitable or
probable consequence of the acts of
other nations, judgment as to the time
when successful defense may be made,
and when 1t will be too late, and prompt
action before 1t is too late.
BY entering this war the United
States ava1led itself of the very last
opportunity to defend itself.

Goldsmith a Poor Physician,

There is a long list of men dfstin-
guished in various spheres of life who
began their careers in medicine. One
Of the most striking examples is that
of DR.. Oliver Goldsmith, though no.
body knows him by that title today.
AS medical man the creator of 'The
Vicar of Wakefield" was held in such
low repute that his appointment as a
physician to the East India company
was revoked before he got the chance
to tamper with any ones ailments,
says the New York Telegraph. Even
when he presented himself at Sur
geons' hall as an applicant for the
humble position of mate in naval
hospital he failed to pass the exam
nation.
