TRACTOR WON'T JUMP FENCES
Some of the Arguments in Favor of
Its More General Use-WilI Not
Bite, 8aI<, or Run Away.

Some Of the many arguments in ia
vor, of the tractor are given as follows
In Farm Life:
It will not bite, balk or run away.
It will not shy at loose scrap of pa
per in the road. 1t will not kick the
stall at night and keep the tired farm
er and his wife awake. 1t will not
crib the manager.
It will not break out of the barn at
night, jump the fence and eat your
neighbours cabbages.
It will not lie down in a particularly
moist spot in the barnyard, roll over
on it's back and elevate its four feet
into the air.
1t does not have to be curried.
sponged off or treated with horse lini-
ment.
It is not addicted to collie. cough,
heaves, SPAWN or wind-gall.
It will not snort in your ear or whisk
its tail in your face.
It will not "haw" when you tell II
to "gee" or vice-versa.
You do not have to pull on the lines
and boiler your head off when you
want it to stop.
It does not "up and die" just as the
spring work is coming on.
The Connecticut labor press., 1919-10-25

tor who will be asked to bid on the
building job will be worth while. These
building specialists all have available
a wide range of homes, both perspec-
tive view and floor plans. With these
plans before them, prospective build
ers will be able to select the home that
meets his requirements and can be
built for the amount of money he
wants to invest. But in going over
these plans it will surprise anyone
how much real enjoyment he will get.
Home building now is popular be-
cause it is the best and practically the
only means Of securing a comfortable,
convenient and attractive place In
which to live. Rentable houses are
scarce, and the person who moves now
adays Is glad to get any sort of shell
ter That is where the home builder
Is better off than the renter.

DICK KERR IS TAKEN
SERIOUSLY IN EAST
Surprises Fans by His Excellent
Work on Slab.
DimIRutive TwirIer Has Done Won
ders in Helping White Sox-Was
Regarded as Too Small to Make
Good In the Big Show.

Little Dick Kerr. midget finger OF
Gleason's slab corps, has made the
East sit up and take notice, writes
George B. Robbins in Boston special
to Chicago Daily News. Kerr was
much moderated in this section. Now
he is taken seriously as "sure thing
pitcher.
Urging that Kerr was ''too small to
make good" In the big show. these
fasteners mentioned the oft-repeated
assertion that the White Sox had only
two pitchers.
Gleason has won the flag with two
pitchers" they declared.
This lad, Kerr, no bigger than an
