Liam aByUi TRACTORS
Tractor School to Help All Who are
Interested in Power Farming.

Tractor School to Help All Who are
Interested in Power Farming.
A tractor school Is to be held in
the Bartholomew Bros. sales room,
3O3-3O5 Main street, at keokuk on
January 10 and IL
Bartholomew Bros, l. III. G. dealer,
are furnishing a tractor and other
equipment to be used at this school.
This is a rare opportunity for trac-
tor owners and all who are interested
in farm power. You will get some
valuable first-hand information >on
tractors. A tractor is not a compn-
Gated machine, but there are great
many more things to know about
tractor than some of the ordinary
farm machines. If the owner is to
keep the tractor running properly he
should understand it thoroughly 1t
is very important that all tractors
are kept in good condition, especially
is that true this year.
II the operator understands his
tractor, he will be able to prevent
many troubles. He will also be able
to get more power from his fuel and
to keep the tractor running the maxi
mum number of hours. Ii is to the
advantage of the tractor owner 10
attend the tractor school and learn
about the underlying prinoples OF
tractor construction and all the little
tricks in tractor operation and care.
The tractor school TO be held by
the Internatio Harvester company
will be thoroughly practical In every
way. The instructors are men VINO
have been handling tractors for
number of years and not only know
tractors from the standpoint of
theory, but have operated them and
can give you the benefit of their prac-
teal experience.
Come prepared to ask questions.
You are invited to put your prob
lens UP to the instructors and we
assure you they will be in position
to be of help. 1t might be a good
plan for you to make list of the
things you want to know about your
tractor and have them ready at the
tractor school. Time may not per-
NIT answering all the questions but
they will be answered by correspond
ence or the information will be given
YOU In the form of book. Every
possible effort will be made to give
the tractor owners the information
that will help them.
The company has prepared book
covering the principles Of construc-
ton, care and operation of tractors,
and all who attend the school will

khat German citizens, under GER
~ circumstances, in time Of war,
I've the right to enlist the protec-
ID of Iowa courts, was the final
ision of Judge Hamilton at Fort
Olson late yesterday afternoon.
b He reversed himself in the Dick

NJ u in the Lee district court.

q lthorized committee to put on the

q iekmann claimed this was an Illegal
%elegation of its powers.
Long Arguments by Lawyers.
III He filed an Injunction suit in the
district court asking that the board
bf health be prevented from keeping
his theater closed. On proof that he
$is an alien enemy and citizen of Ger
many, registered with the department
fof justice as such, Judge Hamilton
threw nIm out OF court WIN SCanC
ceremony week ago.
His attorney in a few days filed an
identical application for Injunction all
over again, in order to make a more
extended argument on the main point.
The arguments of the lawyers occu-
pied all day last Friday, and Judge
Hamilton took the matter under ad-
visement over Sunday and until late
yesterday. Yesterday morning, he
summoned all the attorneys on both
sides and asked for further argu-
ments on certain phases of the case
which lasted until after noon.
The Difference In Cases.
The precedents followed by Judge
Hamilton were those of other states
and some federal courts which hold
that circumstances govern cases in
the question involved.
If the subject of litigation has any
connection, however remote, with the
carrying on of war, as even the final
transfer of a small amount of money
to Germany, the Boche has no right
in court, they hold,
But ii the subject of litigation has
not the least effect on the conduct of
the war; even the Hun has the right
of protection of the American courts
and the flag under which he lives.
Evidently, running movie house
is not connected with the conduct of
the war, in the. Fort Madison case.
