TRACTOR ON A RUBBER FARM
Machine on 20,o00-Acre Sumatra
Plantation Does Work That Re-
quired Hundreds Of Coolies.

The value of the tractor in expedit-
ing farm work has been recognized
in many ways, but striking example
of it's utility as applied to the culti-
walton of rubber has been shown by
the employment of a tractor on rub
Der plantation Of 10000 acres in Su-
matra, controlled by one Of the largest
tire manufacturers in this country. In
former days, says writer, it required
$50 coolies to pillow three acres day,
but by utilizing tractor 20 acres are
now plowed in that time.
At the time the tractor was pur-
chased about 1000 acres were produc-
ing rubber, and consignments from the
plantation are now coming to the
American factory.
The development Of the plantation
was due to the recognition by the COM
pany that it was necessary to protect
it's rubber supply back to the tree. It
was one of the lessons brought fOrci.
bly, to the attention of the commercial
world due to the war that without con-
troll of raw material supply back Of
the source, in case Of disturbance in
market and transportation conditions,
business would be greatly handicapped.

Edison Worth was dreaming of Marie
Duntley, when he should have been
wide awake. Marie was the night op-
orator at Wolf Springs, forty miles
west, yet he felt as near to her as
though she was the width of q part
ton beyond him. Edison had been at
Merrivale in charge Of the station for
two years. He used to boast-and
prove-that he could identify the
sender of half a dozen ticks over the
wire, through familiarity with the
touch"
1T isn't the ticks, they are all the
same, plain as the alphabet" Edison
used to say. "But every operator has
touch essentially his own. It's like
mannerism in speech. 1t takes an
expert to detect it. I call myself one.
So, I always know who is talking"
Edison had been ''talking' I'D to an
hour previous, little snatches of greet
ing, snappy raillery, to greet re-
sponstve brief words that made Edison
sure he was not Indifferent to the
bright, dainty little operator at Wolf
Springs.
''Why, when Marie is on the wire, the
first tick Of the call sends a thrill
through me. It's just as If our fingers
met" Edison had told his sister once.
"That must mean true love, hey, Mag
gte?" and Maggie had encouraged his
conception with a smiling nod, and Ed
son was content.
He was all alone, and it was nearly
midnight. He had slipped down in his
chair into comfort seeking position,
for routine stuff was out Of the way,
and there was nothing due on train
detail under an hour, unless special
orders came out. Usually Edison read
or smoked to keep awake. His
thoughts of fair Marie, however. lulled
him into hazy, pleasant thrall, and
insensibly he glided into somnolency.
Edison was guilty Of fatal lack of
diligence. If No. q on the North
Branch was reported on time, he was
to telegraph the bridge station at
W0odville to hold "a on the main I'M
til the branch train had cleared the
bridge. Orders were due within the
hour. For the hour and beyond it Ed
son slu1nbered. He awoke with q
start. Such a thing had never hap
pened before. His first glance was at
the clock. He sprang to his feet, a
white horror in his face, his body in
cold perspiration. Train "a had
passed eighty minutes agone, and he
had not heard it, and
met on the bridge. Both trains
were late and must have disregarded
signals. Casualties heavy and two
coaches in the river, completely SUBJ
merged"
A hand of ice seemed to seize his
heart in crushing grip, his brain
reeled. Before his mental vision there
passed frightful picture of carnage
and destruction. For the moment and
for hours later Edison Worth was an
insane, irresponsible creature Of fran
tic unreason and impulse.
His first action was to close his ears
to the monotonous drone of what he
reconized as fragment Of a press dis
patch. He dashed from the station
like being pursued by dreadful phan-
toms. That noon he had received his
monthly salary and it was still intact
in his pocket. He passed the cottage
in which his sister lived, but only in
creased his reckless rate of speed. Its
welcoming lights had no influence to

He paid the fare, knowing from the
pretentious amount named that it was
over two hundred miles ahead. One
urging impulse directed him-to get as
fast and as far from home and friends

The wilderness, the furtherest out
posts Of civilization seemed to beckon
him on-he, an Ishmael, accursed Of
all mankind as a murderer! His
crime crushed him. He would bury
himself amid an obscurity barren of
men and homes. He might not be able
to forget, but he would meet with no
familiar poignant reminders of what
had been, what was never to be again.
The pineries-it came to him like an
inspiration as at the end of the first
stage Of his journey he took another
train still headed north. Two rough
~ CARRIED men in seat in front of him
were discussing their plans and pros
pective destinations-a logging camp
far over the Canadian border.
'They shall be my guides" he re-
f1ected. "Surely I can get work, and
work may enable me in time to drive
this awful dread and remorse from my
guilty SOUL"
Certainly it was remote enough from
civilization, the hermit spot he had
chosen. Little danger of his identity
or his crime penetrating this vast soil
