Each Beauty in Harem
Demanded a Gold Tooth.

Trials of a toothpuller i'm a

S. Hungerford of Teheran.
Persia, who visited Toledo on
his way back to the Pacific
coast.
Fourteen years as the royal
dentist for his majesty, the
Shah of Persia, who has a nifty
harem in his palace, has con-
WINGED the dentist that life with

does not have all the traditional
joys.
One of the doctors first duties
in the Shah's palace was to pull
a tooth for a member of the
harem. When the dentist fin

HANGED by a brilliantly flashing
gold bicuspid. Such jealousy
did this addition to her beauty
strike in the hearts of fhe harem
that forthwith they all went
salaming and sobbing to the
Shah, charging his majesty with

of the difficulty by ordering a
gold tooth for each of them, but
to wen matters up ordered three

certain amount of knowledge on the
part Of the operator can scarcely be
considered disadvantage. The train
ing can be easily obtained at small ex-
pense. But too many men attempt to
run tractors without learning anything
about them except the starting, STOP
ping and shifting gears. The i'm
portant thing is the ability to detect
trouble the minute it begins to de-
velOp, and know how to remedy it
promptly instead of allowing it to run
along until an expensive delay results.
1t pays to spend few days gaining
experience under a competent inStruc-
tor. 1t is unwise to attempt to run a
tractor without such preparation. With
the increasing use of tractors, as we'll
as automobiles and stationary engines,
farmers are rapidly becoming familiar
with the care and operation Of gas
engines. At the same time, tractors
are being improved and simplified so
that difficulties in operation are grow
ing less each year.
The comparatively large investment,
rapid depreciation and fuel and repair
bills have also been mentioned by
farmers as points against owning a
tractor. They point out, too, that a
tractor is not adaptable to all farm
work where horses are ordinarily used.
However, the tractor can do much
work that horses cannot do-work
where belt power is needed.
Fit the Tractor to the Farm.
One of the most important points to
consider when buying a tractor is
the size Of the farm. Experienced
tractor owners rarely recommend the
purchase of tractor for use on a farm
with less than 100 or 130 acres under
cultivation, and for such farms the
twO-plOW outfit is usually preferred.
However, most of the farms on which
tractors are being used successfully are
somewhat larger than this, and a ma
jOrity of the tractors pull three plows.
Four-plow machines are being used
satisfactorily on some farms where
there Is a larger amount of work to be
done, and where the conditions are
such that one man can operate an out
fit of this size.
Size, however, is not the only fac
tor to be considered, and the question
whether or not a tractor will prove
profitable is a problem in farm man.

"The college of agriculture did not,
in my opinion, get as effective results
from any other equal sum Of money
which it expended as it did from the

ment Of Agriculture.)
A tractor may be either a profitable
Dr an improbable investment. Each
farm has its own peculiarities; and a
farmer must weigh the advantages and
disadvantages carefully before buying
tractor. He should study the ex-
nnripnces Of those who have used trac-
tors in farm work, paying particular
attention TO those whose farms con-
form most nearly to his own in size
and system of cropping. This is ad-
vice from specialists of the United
States department of agriculture.
On an average, one farm in 80 in the
United States now uses a tractor. It
has been estimated by manufacturers
tbot over 100000 tractors will be made
this year. 1t behoOves every farmer
contemplating buying one to study his
farm problems from every angle.
Advantages in Using Tractor.
The advantage Of a tractor lies not
81 much in the reduction in the cost of
doing piece of work as in being able
10 do it in less time. Thus the num-
her of acres farmed can be increased
and the work done quickly. Often the
saving of time is the important factor
In making profit on the crop grown.
A tractor can be kept On the job In
hot weather when horses are at a dis
advantage. 1t can do heavy work and
do 1t rapidly, thus covering the desired
acreage in the proper season. 1t saves
man labor, thus enabling the farm to
be worked with less hired help. It
sometimes decreases the number Of
horses needed, thus saving both invest
nent in horses and the expense of their
feed.
The tractor owner can increase his
income somewhat by doing custom
work Of his neighbors; but this is
often a doubtful practice. Outside
work must be done at a time when it
will not interfere with the necessary
work on his own place or he will lose
more by neglect than he makes by the
custom work.
Disadvantages Mentioned by owners.
The packing Of damp soil and the
difficulty of efficient operation are the
chief disadvantages mentioned by trac-
tor users. Where early spring work is
necessary. the packing of the soil, espe-
dally heavy soil, is a serious OBJ
lection.
The fact that a tractor demands

was ever my steadfast conviction.
But l realized that it would be ut
terly impossible for me to live with
the lion that made his lair in my
house unless he sheathed forever
his claws. For l was afraid of the
claws and dreaded them.
However. remembering how hun
ters have told that they met the
king of beasts face to face in the
jungles and stared hom out of coun-
tenance, 1 did not let my husband
know that 1 feared him. This au-
dacity, superinduced by fear fire.
quently proved to be a protection.
If 1 had not been madly in love
with Crittendon at the beginning and
grown fonder of him as time went on,
should have been willing, glad to let
him so back to the jungle whence he
came. But there was enough of the
primitive woman within me to want
him and to keep on wanting him. He
was mine as l was, his. Fear even
could not undo that.
So when he harked back to the ages
that lie buried SO deep that histor-
ians cannot give us records thereof,
and at which biologists only can hint
when he became primitive man and
love and our happiness. it aroused
me to a sense of protecting the thing
held dearest in the world. I, too,
harked back to the musty. buried
ages. barred my teeth and flung wild
my hair to battle for what was mine.
The story about Crittendon and me
may be unusual. and yet 1 fancy it
may have its counterpart to a greater
or lesser extent in the lives of many
others. for have never accepted in
its limitations the trite statement that
we don't know how the other half of
the world lives. 1 contend that we
don't know, really, how the half of
our half lives. nor tenth of it.
And-a word of warning-you are
not going TO get all of our story-the
story of my life with Crittendon dur
ing those three years. There are some
things I don't want you to know.
But you shall have the high lights,
the things that stand out as revealing
his character and mine, the burdens
we found and how we bore them. the
methods I used when driven hard by
my desire for happiness and how they
succeeded or failed.
