aid in keeping farm operations up
to the minute" shorter working
hours will res ult, and farmers and
their families will be able to devote
more time to reading and self-im-
provement, to mingling with neigh
bors socially. Farmers also will be
able to give more thought to the
marketing of their crops and live
stock, and the necessity for good
roads as the first step towards bet.
ter marketing facilities will become
apparent to them
One of the serious handicaps in
owning and operating tractor is
the difficulty in securing repairs and
extra parts at critical times in farm
work. If the parts of tractors were
st andardized, every local hardware
dealer could keep them on hand
and disastrous delays would be
avoided. If a mans engine breaks
down in the middle of the harvest

vital matter to be able to secure
repairs Immediately. There is
room for considerable improvement
in the general construction of trac.
tors and this improvement undoubt-

ism needs to be simplified and the
weight reduced to the lowest posi-

it necessary for the farmer and his
sons to spend the slack times at

Active to the Last

That marines were active in the
world war up to the moment that
the armistice went into effect is
evidenced in a division order sign
ed by Major General John A. Le-
jeune, U S. marine corps. command

copy of which has just been receiv-
ed in Washington.
According to the order the Devil
Dogs last act in the universal
drama was final and defiGite con-
quest of the Mouse river, where line
after line of marines crossed on
bridges hastily thrown across the
stream by the Second engineers.
The Fifth and Sixth regiments of
marines, which received their bap-
tism of fire at Chateau ThierIy,
headed the Second American divi.
sion under General Lejeune. On
November 10 they had reached the
Meuse, where the Germans had
thrown up strong intrenchments on
the east bank.
Bridging the river was hazard
Gus feat, but it was accomplished
by the American engineers under
heavy artillery fire Crossing the
stream OH bridges but two feet in
width was a still more hazardous
business. But apparently the
marines consider nothing too
hazardous to at least attempt.
With the enemy's artillery and
machine guns pouring in iaces.
SAINT fire upon these slender straws
of passage, the marines advanced.
Time after time an enfiIade of fire
swept rows of them into the Swirline
Meuse-but thew advanced.
The crossing finally effected, they
pressed on with undauuted courage
and stormed the Huns stronghold

gave way before the impetus of that
furious charge and the marines
again found themselves victors in
their last great battle of the war.

in our organization for every one of
them, but we wish to do it without

There are many ways Of treating

On the streets every day you see the
