Writes OF Death OF
Young Prettyman

, War comes home TO us in its ter
rible reality when the heavier type
reveals the name Of one whom we
know. While the bells were ringing
out the joy of peace, l saw the name
/ Of F. Warren Frettyman, OF Cam
bridge. l have a card from him,writ-
ten in May, from Camp Meade, in
! which he says: 4 am a soldier now
Of the 313th Unfit" And now he has
gone to a soldiers reward. The pa
per states that he was killed in az
ton 1 should have expected to
learn of him that, if killed at all, it
would be in action. He was a young
man of action, energy and devotion
to duty. He was a man, Christian,
and a gentleman. When he came to
Cambridge to live, l asked him to
sing in the choir of Christ Church,
and he did, and was always in his
place, unless business called him
away from his home. He let me
know that he wanted to be useful,
and active in church life, and when
l asked him to act as our secretary
in Sunday School work, he respon-
ded with alacrity.
He was earnest, and faithful, and
manly; bright, and always courteous.
A minister meets with so much indif-
ference upon the part Of men who
ought to be active in doing church
work, that he knows how to be CRATE
full to God when young fellow like
Warren Prettyman appears and says,
Let me help" How things would
move in all the activities of the
Christian Church if all the men were
men of action
If man has a voice, the choir
needs it, and the Sunday School
needs the men, and every church
needs the men in the pews who come
to worship as loyal devotees. 1t is
not merely the family of young War
rem Prettyman who sustained loss,
but society itself, and the Christian
Church, have lost a man of action
from the ranks.
Peace has come. and God be preas-
ed that men will now desist from
killing other men, but as we forget
the horrors of war in the big labor
of reconstruction, let every man be
reminded OF the call to him for sol
der zeal, and spirit, in sustaining
Gods work in the church activities.
Christ came, and died. for others.
He died for principles. Each soldier
who has fallen III France has given
his life for others. They mark the
graves OF French soldiers with the
words, He died for France, but
over the American soldiers. "a chap

TRACTOR ON A RUBBER FARM
Machine on 2o,ooo-Acre Sumatra
Plantation Does Work That Re-
quired Hundreds of Coolies.

The value of the tractor in eXpcdit-
ing farm work has been recognized
in many ways, but a striking example
of its utility as applied to the cult
walton of rubber has been shown by
the employment of a tractor on rub
Der plantation Of 10000 acres In Sn.
matra, controlled by one Of the largest
tire manufacturers in this country. In
former days, says a writer, it required
250 coolies to pillow three acres a day,
but by utilizing a 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
its rubber supply back to the tree. 1t
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 Il disturbance in
market and transportation conditions,
business would be greatly handicapped.

MANURE TO INCREASE CROPS
At Pennsylvania It Was Found That
Application of Six Tons Was
Better Than Ten.

Stable manure has long been con
si1ered very valuable fertilizer. 1t
is usually thought by farmers that the
larger the application of manure the
greater the crop increase. Experiment
tai data shows that such is not the
case. At Pennsylvania it was found
that an application of six tons per
acre gave Il return of $500 per ton as
compared with 1920 per ton when ten
tons per acre We're used. This is dol
lar a ton in favor of the lighter appli-
cation. At the same rate the farmer
who has hundred tons of manure to
spread can save nearly enough TO pay
for his manure spreader. Hand spread
ing could hardly put manure on at the
rate of six tons. THIS is not an iso-
lated case. Other work has shown an
actually smaller yield with a large
amount than with smaller amount Of
manure.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT RESERVOIRS

monty used method of building earthen
entertainments and of loosening and
transferring earthly material for other
purposes. In making use of this
method an ample supply of water is
necessary. What is called the ''cutting
stream" is under high pressure from
60 to 100 pounds per square inch. The
pressure may be obtained by gravity
fall or by pumping, and the water is
conveyed to the material to be exca-
waited in a pressure pipe of suitable
diameter. The end of the pressure pipe
terminates in a giant from which
stream is directed against the
bank Of dirt. A large stream of wa.
ter, but under little or no pressure,
then is added to the former stream TO
carry the material lOOsened by the
giant into Il flume or pipe in which it
is transported to the dam. Figs. 1

in various ways of which two will be
described here briefly. The usual way
of making loose rock dams water-tight
is to place earth in front in the man

Of earth many farmers and not few

BILE of withstanding q load such as is
placed upon it by the passage of a
locomotive and one compact and stable
enough to hold water. In highway and
railroad fills little, if any, attention is
paid to packing materials, but in the
case of earth fills to retain, water,
packing is necessary. Experience has
shown that one of the best ways to
pack ordinary dirt which does not con-
tain too much clay IS to dump it into
water and let nature do the packing.
When this method is not feasible the
earth should be placed on the en-
bankment in thin layers and each lay

cOmpacted. In some cases the earth
can be moistened before it is removed
from it's natural site.
