Les. Stress on Bad Points Of Tractors.

Less SIFS8S OF odu T0'HNS VI -
Several hundred tractor owners In
the Dakotas were asked these Ques-
tons:
What do you find TO be the prin-
cipal advantages Of the tractor Tor
farm work."
what are its principal disadvant-
ages"
The replies received have been sum-
married. in Farmers Bulletin 1925, Just
oub,ished by the department of sgri-
culture.
Saving in time. making its possible
10 cover the desired acreage WITHIN the
proper season, Is put first among the
advantages by large percentdgt Oh
the farmers. Other advantages men
toned are:
Ability to do thorough work, espe-
caiIly in hot weather, when horses are
at a disadvantage.
Saving In man labor, doing away
with more or less hired labor and en-
abling one man to farm larger acre
age than he can with horses.
Economy.
This last advantage is mentioned oy
| a larger percentage Of Dakota 1arH-
ers than of farmers in other states
where similar Investigations OF tne
tractor have been made. This is doubt
less because the cropping system Iol-
lowed in the Dakotas is such that the
tractor can be used to advantage for
more OF the farm work than In most
other parts Of the country
| The principal disadvantage OF the
tractor, according TO the reports made
by these farmers. is It's Injurious enec'
on moist soil. This difficulty is a seri-
Gus one in districts where the soil Is
| heavy and where 1t Is necessary to dc
a considerable amount Of work In early
spring.
Difficulty Of operation seems to rank
next as disadvantage. A large per-
fcentage of farmers emphasize 1t. Other
disadvantages mentioned are expense
| of operation, undue increase in invest
| ment, and delays on account OF engine
| trouble.
In comparing the reports upon which
this bulletin Is based with those OBJ
tanned from tractor owners in various
parts OF the corn belt several Seaars 81
it appears that less stress is laid npor

YIELDS HER RIGHT
TOHOSPITAL GIFT

ALLENTOWN, Pa, Aug. 2O.-Dur-
ing the last week, while he has been
a patient in the Allentown hospital
recovering from a severe illness,
Mayor A l. Reichenbach has in con-
ference with his attorneys and fei-
low-hospital trustees. completed the
account in the estate OF the late
Reuben Ryle, of the famous pioneer
family of silk manufacturers, in this
country, who died in 1916.
Mr.. Ryle's will contained many in
teresting provisions, one Of which
was a bequest of $4,000 to the Al
lentown hospital. Another was that
the residue OF his estate after GER
tain specific bequests, should go to
Mrs. Mary Hunsberger, with whom
for many years he made his home,
and who treated him as a dutifuI
daughter would treat a beloved
father.
Mr.. Ryle had some peculiar char
acteristics. One was a collection Of
diamonds, cut and uncut, which in
his earlier years he carried loCCe in
his pocket. At one time it is said
he owned $4,000 worth of these
The Washington times., 1919-08-20

stones. He also collected music boxes
and chime clocks. Mr.. Ryle was an
expert on weather vanes and was
greatly interested in metsorology.
Without ever suspecting IT, air.
Ryle, exact as he was, after making
an apparently cast iron will. by his
own act invalidated his bequest OF
$4,000 to the Allentown hospital. For
the purpose of making what he deem
ed more easily convertible invest
ment for the benefit OF the hospital.
he changed his $4,000 in silk bonds
to bank certificates OF deposit. Law
yers say that the $4,000 thus became
part OF the residue, lawfully belong
ing to Mrs. Hunsberger.
Mayor Reichenbach as executor, and
Congressman Dewalt, who had been
attorney for Mr.. Ryle, had an inter-
view with Mrs. Hunsberger. With a
large sum OF money at stake for a
noble charitable institution, the in
terview was regarded as critical for
the hospital Would a woman legally
entitled to $4,000 voluntarily give IL
up?
"I know Mr.. RyIe wanted $4,000
to go to the hospital" said Mrs. Huns
berger, "and : would be an migrate

wishes carried out. He was a bene-
factor to me. and I not only gladly

She made only one provision, ask
ing that the memory OF Mr.. Ryle be
perpetuated by naming the fund for
him, or placing his name on a tablet
should the money be used for the
erection OF a building.

Mexico. They encourage the border
runners. Every time there is a re-
newal of the agitation in this coun-
try for Intervention in Mexico, you
see a renewal of the outbreaks by
the bandits, especially along the bOr-
der.
There are some people in the
United States who understand where
the Intervention inspiration comes
from. Labor leaders understand.
They know our government is fight
ing for the welfare of the Mexican
people and against certain selfish in

that means for the common people Of

in which the American Interpretation
is enforced, it is not likely that
separate Senate resolution would be
interpreted as changing the sense Of
the treaty in any way.
Information available to the Sena-
tors yesterday stopped at about the
same point that information from lne
conference ended in Paris. At the
time the American commissioners
were endeavoring to fix a definite
figure Germany should pay as repar-
ations, France, especially, insisted
upon fixing this at such a stipend
Gus sum that the American experts
were convinced it could never be
paid.
At the same time. open threats
were coming from Germany that il
the reparation figure was placed at
such a height as to mean economic
and industrial slavery OF an entire
people," the Government would sim
ply step out and hand the country
over to Bolsheyism.
Lloyd George Side-steps.
Lloyd George was committed in his
election pledges to collecting the full
cost of the war" from Germany. Fu-
ture trade and industrial relations en-
tered into these discussions, as all
realized Germany must be permitted
to resume her industrial life il she
were to meet any reparations bill that
might be presented.
In connection with the reparation
and economic discussions, France
made every effort to bring about the
establishment of an inter-allied pool
to pay the expenses of the war. Under
the plan presented, all expenses were
to be put in one pot and then appor-
toned among the various powers, &C
cording to the population, resources
and losses in the war.
Under such a scheme, the United
States would have had to pay the ma
jor portion of the entire allied war
costs The American commissioners
naturally refused to consider such a
proposition.

In Peace Battle at Home

The second battle of Paris is in full
blast today, but this time in Wash
ington.
The situation following the Presi-
dents history making conference with
the Foreign Relations Committee was
comparable today to the situation in
Paris Immediately after the President
suddenly summoned the George Wash
ington to Brest. The final fight to
complete the peace treaty then en-
tered it's last stages. The George

was the club behind the President.
Today the last round of the fight for
the ratification Of the treaty is under
way, with prospects, in the opinion
of observers, Of the same outcome as
on the treaty itself-a compro mise.
The President is relying on the sum-
mOning of a George Washington" of
public opinion to prevent the Senate
making teXtual amendments to the
treaty or entering reservations in the
actual ratification resolution.
fTnterpretatIOns' Possible.
He has paved the way, however, for
the Senate to express itself by going
on record with interpretations" in a
separate resolution. This will not
worry any of the foreign powers.
France went on record at the plen-
airy session, at which the league cove
nant was adopted, with expression Of
her belief that an international army
should be maintained on the Rhine.
But such an army will not be main
tanned.
European diplomats look upon the
Washington fight on the treaty as
entirely on internal political affair;
and while any Interpretation on vital
articles that may be made by the
Senate will carry a certain amount of
weight, it is hard for Europe to un-
derstand the division Of treaty max
ing powers under the American Con-
stitution.
