Of al the machines q farmer owns,
none is more important than his trac-
tor Especially is this true this year
Tractors must be in condition to work

lays due TO unsatisfactory operation,
no loss from misunderstanding.
To this end the International Harves-
ter Company Of America proposes to
hold tractor schools in various parts
Of the country in order that their US
er8 may get the best possible service
out Of their tractors.
The school will be absolutely free
to all who care to attend, whether
they are tractor owners or not. Moth
ing will be ordered for sale at these
schools ana there will be no selling
talks. a course of instruction in how
a tractor works and how to keep it
working will be strictly adhered to.
The instructors are practical trac-
tor and engine men and the course IS
laid out on large charts illustrated
with clear diagrams and described in
simple terms It takes up the rea-
sons why an engine operates, what
takes place within the sylinder Of an
engine, symptoms that indicate ap-
preaching trouble, how to look for
trouble and not overlook it, how to
get the best possible service from a
tractor or engine. new uses for trac-
tors and many other subjects OF spe-
cial interest to men in this locality.

proposed budget and tax ordinances,
the finance committee last night
besmed forth from executive seclu-

anxious ipquirers, that tnasmuch as
the committee had not com pleted its

II can be said. however, that the
increase IN taxation will be negligible,
This much was admitted ny several

The committee hopes to complete it's
work on Friday night. The paper
will go to common council at It's reg

after most careful and conscientious
consideration, determined to present
a spring festival this year OF even
greater merit than ever before; and
in soliciting the patronage OF the pub

their efforts will be amply repaid In
the intense satisfaction and pleasure
that the community will derive from

1t is proper tnat we direct your
attention to the concerts that have
been given by the club in the past.
which have in every instance excelied
the standards of similar entertain
ments in any section of the country.
In particular, we point with pride
that Richmond. through the efforts of
our organization, heard the great
Galli-Curci last year. practically an
entire season in advance of her first
appearance in New York. For this
concert. the cost of no ticket exceed
ed S300, whereas K was impossible to
procure anything at any OF her ap-
pearauces in New York at less than
$40 and the speculative price ranged
upward of $300 per set. Surely. we
believe that you will appreciate the
many advantages the club In extend
ing. and we trust to have an expires
sion Of your cooperation"
