FARM TRACTORS
IN BIG DEMAND
State Buys Tractors For Work
on Highways; Colleges
Introducing Them

Motive power is fast taking its
place as the leading power on the
farm, displacing the old familiar
horse that has so faithfully per-
formed the work for years. There is
a reason for this, the same as in the
case of the automobile doing the
work of the business world.
Motive power in the form of the
economical and labor saving devices
of the century for the farm. Not
only does it do the work of six or
eight horses but one or two men can
do all the managing that is necessary
to keep these tractors on the go.
And these two items alone are
worthy of any farmers consideration
in=as- much as the scarcity of labor
and the cost of maintaining a herd
of horses, such as is necessary on
the average farm, is the big worry
for him today.
George Mcfarland Of the Harris
burg Auto Co, the local distributors
for the Cleveland and Beeman
Tractors, is very enthusiastic in
two wonders. Recently in competi-
ton with over a hundred tractors,
the Cleveland was picked as one of
five to be purchased by the state
for work on the highways. An order
was placed for a number of them
to do this work This is a big boost
for this tractor. State College at
Bellefont has also purchased the
Cleveland for farm work as has
the Tressler Orphan School at
Loysville, Pa. These two schools
are the conponents of good farming
and their choice of the Cleveland
speaks well for this tractor.
The Beeman tractor is the smaller
brother of the Cleveland. It's work
lies more in the truck farm work.
1t is adapted to do all kinds of
cultivating and the ordinarily hard
work done by n hoe and rake. 1t
will work in all kinds of ground,
going between the rows in working
corn or potatoes and astride the
rows when working beets, beans and
the smaller vegetables.
Both these tractors are on display
at the show rooms of the Harris
burg Auto Co., at Fourth and Kelller
streets, Harrisburg.

Lincoln Highway
Nears Completion

One of the final links in the chain
of roads that make up the national
thoroughfare known as the Lincoln
Highway" the most amazing piece
of road building since the Appian
Way welded together the broad en-
pire of ancient Rome, has just been
completed by d. C. Rhodes and o.
c. Lewis, of the Automobile Club of
Southern California who made the
trip from Los Angeles to Salt Lake
City for the express purpose of
marking the Lincoln highway. The
journey was made in n Vim truck
and offers a remarkable tribute to
the efficiency of the half-ton trans
portation unit.
The men who "blazed the trail"
encountered all kinds of difficulties.
as did the early pioneers. though
they were of different kind. On
their journey they placed 25O signs
and set 100 posts for the direction of
tourists and this work called for the
use of iron pipes, wooden blocks,
concrete, picks, shovels and all the
implements necessary for hard-rock
work and excavation. Throughout
the trip the truck carried load far
in excess of what it was built to
carry. But the sturdy little Vim
plugged right along at twenty miles
an hour, through sand and water,
over rocks and cobblestones, doing
the limit on a gallon of gasoline
with never a squeak of complaint.
Very often a whole day was spent
in the rain and mud, blasting to get
a good location for a post and then
putting in a concrete base. The en-
Cipa of the fruck was used to turn
the mixer for the concrete and for
many other purposes for which it
had not been designed. Yet when
the man went over the truck before
I the return trip they inspected the
engine, brakes, gears. transmission,
-everything-and found all parts in
perfect order. Not even an adjust
ment was needed. THAT car will do
the same for anybody" said one OF
the men. "It is built to run 365 days
year, .rain, snow or shine"

FIGHT OVER WOMAN

Isaiah Washington, negro, was
held under $500 bail yesterday at po-
lice court for the alleged stabbing of
Tony Guam, a Mexican. Washington
is said to have been a former sweet
heart of Fannie Brown, colored. who
refused his advances after she had
met the Mexican. When Washington,
somewhat under the influence of Ii
quor, it is said. found the Mexican
in Fannies home. 226 Cherry street,
after he had battered in the door, he
is said to have cut him in the side,
the hand and on the face.

bort Prices Below Aver
age of Cars For 1917

1.-The purchase price of the bort
was within five dollars of the average
price for the automobile output of
the United States in 1917" says Z.
C. Ensminger, bort distributor.
Although it is impossible at this
time to arrive at the average price
for 1918, the increases and volume
so far announced or otherwise in
dicated, place the bort price slightly
below the average.
'As the Ford car, with its
immense production, is included in
arriving at these averages. it will be
seen that, exclusive of that make,
the bort price is far below the
average.
THAT bort is able to build so
good a car at the price is therefore
plainly due to factory efficiency, for
despite all differences to the contrary,
there is very little if any difference
in the prices that the various manu-
facturers pay for material and
labor"

 FRIENDSHIP FOR NATION
Rv Review Leased wire)

KAREN. Manchuria, Nov. 70 Americas friendship for Russia is recognized by the Manchuria, labor organ of this city which declares edi- torially that the words of the United States can be trusted and that Amer jean diplomacy is straightforward and democratic. The paper quotes the American consul at Irkutsk as an nouuciug that the United States would in no way interfere in Russian intern al affairs.
 We must learn from America to build our fortunes by ourselves and develop the wealth of our country, the Manchuria says. America is our true friend offering her services with out any hypocrisy if we desire them Russia and America. How strong would be an alliance. What possibil- ities it would present to our long sui fering country. America extends to us a helping hand. May We not fail to grasp it.

SIX MINUTES TIME WAS REQUIRED FOR
 TELLING OF WAR
ALL BRITISH EMPIRE KNEW IN THAT REMARKABLE SHORT SPACE THAT MOTHER COUNTRY WAS AT CLUTCHES WITH HUN, SAYS LORD HARcoURT

LONDON, Nov. 20 Correspondence of the Associated Press) It required only six minutes to inform the Brit ish empire that England was at war on the night of August 4, 1914, says Lord Harcourt, who was then Col onial secretary
 "On that unfortunate night" he said to the Empire Parliamentary as sociation, q was in the Cabinet room, owning street, with a few colleagues. Our eyes were on the clock, our thoughts on one subject only; but there was feeble effort to direct our conversation to other matters. We were waiting for a reply, which we knew full well would never come, to our ultimatum to Berlin
 When Big Ben struck 11:3O-mld- night in Berlin-we left the room knowing that the British empire was at war.
 "I crossed to the colonial office to send a war telegram to the whole British empire asked the official in charge of that duty how long It would take. He said, about SIX minutes =

Wisdom By the Ton

The eternal fitness of things ruled that, on the day when it was announced that an army of savants had prepared three truck loads of papers for the Peace Conference, representatives of 3S1 war service committees were debating in Atlantic City how they could get back to a peace basis.
 Three army trucks could carry from nine to twenty-one tons of papers historic. economic, eth nographic, photographic, diplo- matic, cartographic, educational A thirsting land is glad that even irrigation vas not neglected. To clarify these exhibits, prepared
 under carful guard night and day" and held in utmost secrecy, staff of experts and college pro fessors precedes or accompanies the Presidents party.
 The 381 war service commit tees may well remind us how vast has been the war field of Government inquiry, initiative and control. Now the problem is to roll them up into thirty five related groups" and ten major groups, centralize them in some manner and finally cause them to vanish, except services perpetuated by statute, as the conjurer rolls a rabbit into nothingness above borrowed hat.
 The mere mass of reports and memoranda incidental to the main current of war and peace will amaze all and appall many. Yet it may be only proportionate to a conflict whose dead are reckoned by the million, it's armies by tens of millions and it's cost by the hundred billion that wisdom also shall be trucked, freighted and shipped by the ton to the confer ence of the world.
