The Farm Tractor.

Do you know what the farm tractor
has done for Us during the last year!
80, 900 farm tractors, now used in
America. have enabled the farmer to
produce magnificent crops in the face
of an unprecedented shortage Of
labor and a shortage Of horsepower
These tractors are replacing 1900
900 horses and mules. and 100000
men who are now in the army. They
prepare the ground for our food crops
and later cultivate and harvest them.
They increase the efficiency Of our
farm machinery.

Commercial Airship
Superior to Airplane.

London-For the immediate fu-
ture, according 20 further extracts
from the report Just completed by
the civil aerial transport committee
Of the air board, the commercial air
ships offers a great advantage over
the airplane, particularly concerning
passengers. where comfort and ease
Of navigation, safety and a high ra-
ton of disposable lift are vital con-
siderations.
Airships now exist, the report says,
with a range of more than 1000 mil
es, and they can travel at a speed Of
~ miles an hour. By running their
engines slower a maximum range of
5000 miles can be obtained
On first speed Cspetown, South
Africa, is today aerially only little
more than three days from South
hampton. while this ship could fly
across the Atlantic and return with
out stopping The committee points
out that the future airships will soon
develop a speed Of 100 miles an hour,
that il will be fitted with ample sa-
looas, state rooms, with an elevator
to a roofgarden, and will be able TO
remain in the air for over a week.

And now comes along a professor
who says that the educated people Of
America are Stacking on the job of
parenthood. He claims that among
this class a family Of less than four
children is Stacker family.
He makes no mention Of the prices
OF food, Of coal, of rent, Of clothing,
Of domestic service. Of specialists
and Of shoe-laces
An era Of high prices is an era of
low birth rate. Americans are am
bilious for their children. They rea-
lie that children must be carefully
reared and sufficietly educated, or
they suffer a lifelong handicap.
When lower prices prevail again
the birth rate among the educated
classes Of America will rise.

France inspires a wonderful patrio-
tism in its people. Alsace and Lor-
raine had been separated from their
mother country for forty-seven years.
They had been entirely under Ger
man domination. The German Ian
guage had been enforced in the
schools. in the courts of law and in
the churches Comparatively few
people are now alive who were Of
mature age at the time of the cession
Of the provinces to Germany.
Yet the prospects Of return to
France are received with delight, and
the entry Of American soldiers too,
place among public acclamations
Fortunate indeed is the country
which inspires this special brand Of
loyalty and affection.

MY Country
Its Meaning.

Somewhere. some time during
these various Liberty Loans and the
war excitement you listened to the
singing of America"
And barred your head as did thou
sands Of others from coast to coast
and from the lakes to the gulf.
But just what did "My Country"
mean to you?
Merely that you happened to be
born here? Live here? Make a
good living or have a prosperous bus
mess here?
Only that and nothing more?
Did you have the feeling of the
man who shouldered a rifle and
marched into the trenches? Who
mounted an airplane and went play
ing hide and seek with death in aerial
combat with a Boche hospital bomb
er? Who served on the mosquito
feet and spent nerve-racking months
chasing U-boats?
Did you take off your hat because
you thrilled to the call of country or
simply because you didn't want to be
an exception in the crowd?
And getting right down to brass
taeks what have you done for that
country? Where has your service
been? Soldier? Sailor? Altman?
Or have you become a real partner
with Uncle Sam Buyer of Liberty
Bonds, War Stamps, and contributor
to his various war aids?
II you've done none of these things
"My Country" can mean nothing to
you. And barring your head is only
hollow mockery. the rankest hypo-
crisy.
And if you haven't done anything
for your country to date for the sake
Of your own self-respect, your con-
science, your future p Of mind,
get busy.
Make a real investment in America
Become a stakeholder in truth. Make

ficance

Ineffective, because of the zones Of
