ROOSEVELT'S LAST
LETTER TO ARNOLD

F. Arnold, who is gardner for A. A
Wrenn, manager of the Hercules Cop
per company is no doubt one of the
last ones to receive a letter from Col
Theodore Roosevelt, who died Janu
airy 9Th. The letter to Mr.. Arnold was
dated in New York, January 3rd, in
which the Colonel advised him that
he was very much touched with his
poems and advising him that he would
give his messages to@his boys upon
their return. The following is a copy
of the letter received from the col
onel.
New York, Jan. 8, 1919.
My dear Mr.. Arnold:
II was much touched by your
letter and the poems you en-
closed and you may rest assured
dear sir, that will give your mes
sages to my boys when they come
home.
with hearty thanks and ap-
probation,
Faithfully yours,
"T. ROOSEVELT"

FITTING YOUR SEED BED
Better Disking at Less Cost With 4
Real Tractor Disk

Next to pIowing, the farm tractor is
used most for disking. Pulling disk
harrow over newly ploWed ground, e3-
pecially breaking, is a leg-wearyinS
blow, and in an effort to make things
a little easier you straighten up the
gangs a notch or two. This'of course
does not penetrate the soil SO thor
oughly, and the resulting job is not
so good as you really want it. In
fact, that is the principal drawback TO
horse farming-you are constantly ia
voring your horses at the expense of
the work.
Now, disking is one of the most i'm
portant tasks on the farm. 1t is equal
ly as important as plowing because it
fits the plowed field fer the reception
and growth of the seed. A plowed
field left as it is turned is practically
worthless from crop standpoint.
Progressive agriculturists are becom-
ing more and more convinced Of the
value of "a we'll prepared seed bed,
and tractor farmers are eagerly turn
ing to their tractors a means of better
work with a disk harrow.
Horse disk harrows have been used
with tractors with success. But a
horse designed harrow will not give
the same degree of satisfaction behind
a tractor as tractor designed har-

CARGO OF SUPPLIES
GOES TO ARCHANCEL
Red Cross Sends Relief Ships for
Allied Soldiers and Civilians
in Starving Russia.

A relief ship was recently sent from
this country to Archangel by the
American Red Cross with 1900 tons
OF drugs, food, soap and other sup
plies for the use of the Allied soldiers
and needy civilians in that part of
Russia. The vessels cargo was val
ued at $l,511, 1,233.
Later, another ship was dispatched
carrying 200 tons of similar supplies
furnished by the American Red Cross,
the total expenditure for the two ship
ments amounting to over 100000.
Major c. T. Williams of Baltimore
was in charge of the party Of thirteen
which accompanied the shipment from
this country. He was formerly men,
Der of the Red Cross Commission for
Roumania. Major Kirkpatrick, at one
time a member of the latter commits
sion, but recently attached to the
Army Medical Corps, heads the medi-
cal end of the Archangel expendition.
Drugs and general hospital supplies
constituted the greater part of the
cargo sent from America.
While the chief concern of the ex-
petition was providing comforts for
American and Allied fighting men in
that part of the world, all efforts were
bent to get relief to the Russian SOL
diers who were returned from Ger
man prison camps at the rate of about
$4,000 a week. The condition of these
men was pitiable. 1t has been esti-
mated that 80 per cent. of them were
tubercular.
In addition to drugs and food, al
most every imaginable article on the
comfort, convenience and pleasure OF
the Allied soldiers. Just a few Of
these articles were playing cards,
razor blades, jewsharps, mandolins,
accordeons, ukaleles, monographs,
cameras, skates, wigs, whiskers,
grease paints, footballs, snowshoes,
slippers, hockey outfits, indoor base
balls, moving picture outfits, Bibles,
prayer books, boxing gloves, games,
music, books, cigarettes, candy and
dried fruits.
~ The need of prompt relief for the
inhabitants of towns along the coast
of the White Sea and on the Kola
peninsula, many of whom were facing
starvation, was found to be impera-
tive. Scurvy had broken out among
the people at these places, adding to
the general distress.
The towns to which the relief ex-
pendition was sent are virtually iso-
lated from the outside world because
of the treacherous coast line, shifting
sand bars and uncharted waters. An
exceptionally early frost, even for that
part of the world, ruined the harvests,
which were expected to improve con-
ditions. Statements, printed in Rus
sian, explaining the work of the Red
Cross, were distributed among the in
habitantS.

row. There are a number of reasons
for this. The levers, for one thing,
cannot be changed or adjusted with
out stopping the tractor and dismouli-
ing. To weight the harrow down to
secure the proper penetration com
mensurate with the tractor pull is
sometimes little hard on the harrow.
The tractor harrow is strong. The op-
orator sets the gangs at full angle,
and weighs it down heavily because
he has the power to pull it.
What is needed for the best work
at the least cost is real tractor disk
harrow, ore that is built especially
for use with tractors and can be oper-
ated from the tractor seat without
requiring individual attention. A sue
cessful tractor disk harrow-one that
will give excellent work in the field
and at the same time be durable and
efficient-cannot be remodeled horse
harrow. 1t is not possible to take a
horse harrow as a basis and strength
en- it here and there and expect it to
be satisfactory. 1t is necessary to
build the harrow from the ground w
with tractor use in mind. Such Il
harrow can be operated from the seat
of the tractor like a power lift plow
1t will require no levers for setting the
gangs because this work will be done
by the tractor at the/will of the oper
ator.

peared before the County Board OF
Education this morning to make tbs
most generous proposition ever made
