Dear MOTHER
viii try and write Sou a few lines
today. All Is still well and it is still
raining and cold, so you can mag
inc about how things are over here.
Do you all know about Robt.
Mitchell's death? He was killed on
October 18th, 1918, early in the
morning, about 2:3O, as he was going
over the top. l met up with him in
the evening before he was killed. We
were right behind his company, so
you can tell his father about his
death, or l will tell him what ! know
about it when | come home,
was very sorry to hear of the
death of Troy Tucker, as he and J
were the best Of friends. 1t sure id
hurt me, but the Fathers will must
be done regardless of the pain.
With my latest experience, ! think
each one has time to 60. 0ftimes
| have thought that my time had
come, but it was not the will Of my
Father.
Well, it won't be long until there
will be many a happy heart and many
sad one, for there will be many
mothers who will not have any boys
to come back home, though he went
away, and until the time that he was
killed he was always wishing for the
day that he was to start home. !
have heard many dying boys say,
Mother, l am going home," as his
last words. It has been my lot, and
a sad one, to pen the last words of
those dying. But many had no time
for even this as they were hit with
big shells and had only time to salute
his flag and rifle goodbye.

Within ten minutes after an appli-
cation Of Danderine you cannot find
a single trace Of dandru* or falling
hair and your scalp will not itch, but
what will please you most will be
after a few weeks use, when you
see new hair, fine and downy at first
-yes-but really new hair-grow-
ing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately
doubles the beauty of your hair. No
difference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with
Danderine and carefully draw it
through your hair. taking one small
strand at time. The effect is amaz-
ing-your nair will be light, fluffy
and wavy, and have an appearances
of abundance; an incompatible iustre
softness and luxuriance.
Get small bottle Of Knowlton's
Danderine for few cents at any
drug store or toilet counter. and
prove that your hair is as pretty and
soft as any--that it has been neglect
ed or injured by careless treatment
that's all-you surely can nave beau
tiful hair and lots Of it if you will
just try a little Danderine.

The hitching of a pillow to any sort
OF tractor frequently defeats all the
work that the plowman has put in on
the bottom. Perhaps most of us who
20 to demonstrations have noticed
this every year. We find plows of
the same make, in practically the
same soil and at same speed, doing
work of very different quality. To
any one watching the demonstration
last season at Salina, this was APP
parent. The variation was caused by
the fact that the plows were hitched
differently. To know just how plows
should be hitched to get the best re-
suits is difficult to determine.
The tractor man, OF course, wants
a hitch in the center. That is ideal.
His purpose is TO make the best show
ing for the tractor. The plowman
wants to hitch in what he calls the
center line of draft" The pillow that
has been designed for that runs best
and does its best work when hitched
that way. Professor Sanbourn, In
some tests In Missouri, found that So
per cent of the total draft of the
plows vas used to cut the furrow, 35
per cent in friction OF the sole and
heel on the soil and 10 per cent in
lifting load. At Winnipeg tests made
several years ago two gangs of men
plowed in adjacent fields, cutting the
same depth with the anne number of
bottoms, being checked by the same
observer, yet the final result showed
the draft of one gang to be about
so per cent more than that of the 9th
er. 1t was found TO be a question Of
proper hitching and sharp plows. The
load on all three wheels OF the plows
should be equal. Any operator can
check this readily by taking hold of
the wheels and slipping them on the
ground. determining whether a pillow
is set right. The rear wheel bothers
most Of us. The draft of the pillow
csn ordinarily be increased as much
as 20 per cen by having the rear
wheel set wrongly, the pillow riding
on the sole or the heel. Most plows
have a loose piece on the rear end of

auently rubs on the bottom Of the
furrow. The tractor operator a
easily adjust the rear wheel on
" all modern plows; provision is
made for just that thing. We can
make the best showing by getting a
proper hitch and properly adjusting
the pillow.
Draft of Implements and Tractors.
The draft varies all the way from 3
to in excess of 20 ID. per square inch
Of furrow section. In sandy soils,
like those in Michigan and around
the lakes, the draft will run 3 h.; in
some soils in Illinois and Texas 20
h.: and in the west much more. 1t
is, therefore, well worth while to
train operators to understand thor
oughly the hitching of the plows. 1t
is important that the pillow be SO set
that the tractor can do its best work.
We find tractors advertised as two
pillow ,three-plow and four-plow, but
in practice in some conditions two
plow" tractors will hardly pull n
bottom. In other cases they can pull
three.
The center line of draft on plows
is often talked Of mysteriously. 1t is
assumed by most plowmen that this
center line of draft lie about Bin. in
side the and side of a bottom, and in
the same proportion in two, three and
f~our-bottom units. Some tests were
made this summer by Professor White
to find the center line of draft on a
pillow; in other words, to determine
definitely the point of least resist

Of working with him. The test dis
closed some curious things. We had
a tractor with a drawbar the total
width of the machine, with holes
punched in it every 2 in. all the way
across; in other words, a drawbar
that gave us an opportunity to hitch
from the outside of one wheel on the
right to the outside OF the other
wheel on the left. The purpose was
to take two, three and four bottom

The following extract from an ar

of draft The pillow ran Eghtest when
it was hitched on n side, but the
quality of the blowing was very bad.
We found that this was due to the
fact that the pillow was hitched badly.
This was evident even in a photo
graph. 1t was such a poor job Of
blowing that l believe the farmer
would have ordered us off the field
if we had not contracted to do the
work TO his satisfaction.

where the pillow pulled highest" the
assumption being that this would ma
turally indicate the line of least re-
sistance-in other words, the center

that the hitch by which the pillow
could be pulled most easily did not
necessarily determine the center line

Better Save Than Beg Or Better

After the Revolution, when questions of
National finance were uppermost in the
minds of all who desired the prosperity and
success of the new government, Benjamine
Franklin remarked: "a small increase in in
dustry in every American male and female,
with a small elimination of luxury, would
produce a sum far superior to all we can hope
to beg or borrow from all our friends in Eu-
rope"
This observation of Franklin has it's application to the
building of a home. A little more industry, a little denial OF
Injuries, and one might add, a little foresight, will combine
to make home ownership a reality. One of the strongest in
ducements to the habit of saving is having in mind all the
time a definite purpose; and of all the definite purposes one
might have, none is more worthy, none sounder economical
ly and none more promotive of happiness and security than
the building of a home.
The man who today saves for buying a home does so be-
cause he can look a little farther into the future than the
man who goes on spending all his earnings while tliving in a
rented house, and leaves the future to take care of itself"
He lacks the imagination to project himself into the future
ten, fifteen or twenty years, to a period of his life when own
ership of a home would afford him the peace and comfort that
no other possession can give.
