THE TRACTOR CUTS
 DOWN EXPENSES

My farm had, some eight months sir,.e, twelve mules. The tractor dis, pensed entirely with five. The fueil consumption, including repalrs and grease, will equal, according to my accounts, the feed of two mules al the present prices of feed. The trac, tor also dispensed with the wages or four hands. After laying-by season there would be a much greater ad- vantage Tn favor of the tractor.
 We use the gang or disk blow for breaking land, then the disk harrow for cutting up, then a heavy acume for clod-crushing and pulverizing. We pull the binder for cutting grain, haul the peanut pickers from field to field, haul in corn, haul hogs and cat, tie to market, run the baler ana sometimes a grist mill. Incidentally pump water.
 have four sons. All krow the tractor and auto, so for me there IS no trouble to have it run. Others say it takes trained labor.
 There are about six tractors near me, and some 1,500 automobiles m the same territory. The auto has for years been considered necessary. The tractor. in my judgment, will fol- low.
 The tractor which has in a large measure succeeded all others here IS the 1O-2O size. There is crying need for tractor that will not only prepare the land, but also cultivate the crop from the first furrow to the last 4 machine of this type will dln- pense with much labor and save the planters many thousands.-R. w..

USED CAR INQUIRY

D. G. M. writes: have chance to buy for $c00 a 1913 ---- car that originally cost $3,50O. It is claimed to have been thoroughly overhauled and certainly, does run finely. Is this a "good buy" or would it be better to put in some what more money and get lower priced this years car?
 Answer: Our advice upon this matter will be of little value. No doubt this car is of excellent ma- terial and workmanship and should give you good service, but if cost of operation is, "a matter of importance to you, it may be well to remember that many cars of this date and price class were very heavy, hard on tires and rather lavish with gasoline and oil compared with cars built today. Many of them operate rather un- satisfactorily upon the fuel now to be had and they lack numerous re- finements and improvements found upon 1919 cars. By somewhat more than doubling the price of this used car, you can buy a car that we be- lieve would give you greater satis- faction, at a much lower operating expense and which would possess all the up-to-date features

NEW VACCINE TO CHECK FLU

London-A new method of prepar- ing vaccines, which may result in complete mastery of infectious dis eases, is described in the London Lan- sret by the discoverers, Capt. David Thompson and Capt. David Lees, doc tors who served in the British Army Medical Service. They say they can detoxicate vaccine, which means that the poison in it can be removed.
 "Using the new method l have been able to inject without toxic symp. toms doses of vaccine ten to one hun. dred times greater than was eve' dared before, with the result that a greater degree of immunity is devel, oped," says Dr. Thomson.
 Dr. Thomson believes few doses of compound dexicated vaccin" giver in October and again in January vii afford considerable protection from influenza

CORRODED BATTERY CONNEC.
 TONS.

J. writes: Until day or two ago, my starter has always turned the engine over fast, but now it scarcely revolyes;it and when I try to start at night. the lights almost go out, althoueh they are bripht enough at other times. supposed that my bat terv had run down, hut each cell tests fully charged" What has gone wrong?
 Answer: It may be that the con- nectiQns to the battery are so cor roded that they offer high resist ance to the current that passes from the battery to the } starter motor, thus reducing it so much as to cause the. motor to operate weakly. This resistance at the battery terminals affects but slightly the small current which the lamns require, but has d pronounced effect upon the very large drop in voltage. that is notice able at the lights, when starter and lamps are in operation together. You better .disconnect the two clamps, that connect the battery to the sys- tenn and thoroughly scrape, until bright and clean, the surfaces both of the clamps and of the battery terminals, then replace them tightly and give them coating of vaseline. You might try turning over the en- zine, with the hand crank, just to see that there is no increase in the power required to rotate it.

 Answefs Nearly all the large oil refineries publish lists, z including most makes, and models. of cars built for some years past, with the grade of oil best adapted to- each, Such list will probably give you the in- formation you require.

A. w. writes: The instructions furnished with my car direct that all the grease cups should have '"daily attention" but it seems "a good deal like work" to live up to this piece of advice. Us it really necessary to do so? saiAyS S
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1919-08-17

Answer: The freouencv with which parts should be fabricated ought to be expressed in terms of mileage, but so many motorists fail to keep their odometers in operation and to read them. that oiling instructions based upon time instead of distance are freouently given. By using the term "dailv attention" the manufac- turer probably intended to empha- size the fact that very freouent at- tention was advisable and it is true that no parts of~as7ears reauire,~luhri catical7 oftener than; spring bolts and the steering gear connections. If the grease cups on your car are thor oughly screwed sdown, so that grease begins to ooze out of xthe bearings, once in each hundred smiles of ser vice, there lis little danger that these parts will suffer.

mo finer patriotic service was ever

farm supplies, still grew the increased
crops without which we could not
have won the war. The farm women

million of their best to join the
colors. The more that is known about
the war, the more gloriously our
farmers part in it will shine.
"The Victory Liberty Loan Drive

May 10th. We appeal to you, farm
ers of America, to finish what you
have so we'll begun. Make this loan
as superb as the war crops you have
raised. See to it that the farmers
lead in putting the Victory Loan over
the top.
Make your participation in the
Victory Liberty Loan both in money
and service, the measure OF your
devotion to the great cause OF de-
mocracy-the democracy for which
many of our bays have made the su.
preme sacrifice. Let your subscrip'
ton and your effort be bot han offer
ing of thanksgiving for the return OF
peace and the means by which the
world may measure the strength to
your patriotism and your determine

GERMAN CAPTAIN TOOK
TO NEW GUINEA JUNGLE

Sidney, Australia, March 5.-(Cor'
respondence of The Associated
Press. )-Konrad Detzler, a German
Iarmy engineer who had been hiding
in the New Guinea jungle four years
or since the beginning of the war
has come back to civilization and
now is in an internment camp in
Australia, Detzler's story is on q
par with other romantic incidents OF
the war as il affected the South Sea.
Detzler holds captains commits
sion. When the war began he was
surveying the boundary line between
The then Kaiser Wilhelmland, or Ger
man New Guinea, and Paupa, or Brit
ish New Guinea. He decamped into
hthe bush. This was a risky act, for
Ehe bushmen prefer human flesh
above all other kinds. When an Aus
tralian force occupied Kaiser Will
helmland, DetzIer was overlooked.
For more than four years Dstzler
lived in the bush near MisHlis. He
had shotgun but it was not long
before he han out of cartridges.
Thereafter he lived ON vans, taro
and kau Ga variety Of sweet potatol
in common with the natives, and upon
birds and animals which he caught
by means of snares.
Several times the Australians
searched for him but Detzler managed
to elude them. He might have stay
ed indefinitely i'll the jungle, but mis-
sionaries told the Paupans of the
armistice and they in turn told him.
Thereupon he surrendered to the
nearest Australian officer. While liv-
ing throughout the war at Mismis,
Detzler wore only a lava lava (nattve
kilt) The result is that he is almost
as brown as Papuan. He now wears
German uniform.
