MOST FRAGRANT OF FLOWERS
Baltimore AdmIrer Declares the Breath
~ the Lilac Stands Unmatched
for Sweetness.

When the lilacs breathe, odors OF
kfaby become ofetid and astringent in
comparison. When the lilacs breathe,
their odOrous breath carries the fra
GRANGE OF the distillation of genera
tion of life and love that they have
gathered to themselves, where they
have bloomed by the garden wall or
against the porch pillar. The old
home-wOnderfu in the vividness Of
It., memories and assOciations-is Gre
ated by the picturing of beauty and
tenderness that the fragrance of the
Slossoming lilacs brings to Nthe mind.
One sees the path through the garden
winding. down to the clump of lilacs.
The faces of other days are framed
in the pictures that fancy creates
through the magic of the lilacs.
The panIcles of bloom are in full
flower and the blooms will be hailed
with joy by the multitudes who have
in their feelings the sentiments to
which lilacs appeal. They are medi-
tative and reflective kind of flower.
They come so quietly In the spring.
They bloom forth so abundantly and
magnificently. They sing their con-
cert to the airs of April and cause the
four winds of the heavens to become
their survivors to the joy of man
kind.
The lilacs are the softest and most
persuasive of all tints, those of laven-
der and purple, with some of driven
whiteness. How wonderful their
beauty, the assembling of the blossoms
and their disposition upon the branch!
How full of art How exQuisitey
Dresden is the lilac as it swings in
the breeze! And every lilac bush is
n product of years of growth, and that
growth goes on perennially until one
and another generation is laid be-
meath the sod, and the lilac has been
intrusted with the cherished memories
of youth and maturity and age-passed
out of life.-Baltimore American.

SAYS HE HIT MAN
Who SWORE At HIM
Plea Unavaihng, and Young Man
Is Fined for Assault

Frank Mccormack and Fred Becker
met last evening to discuss old times
and wound up in police headquarters.
This morning they were before Judge
John H. Kirkham on q charge of as
assault and fine of $40 and
costs was imposed upon McCor-
mack and a similar fine on Becker
was suspended. Wadislaw Rakowsl1i,
with whom the young men were
fighting shortly before being caught
by Officers Thomas Storey and John
Carlson, was discharged.
Officer Storey was standing at the
corner of Main and Comm ercial
streets when the two men came out
of saloon in the Stanley building and
walked up Main street. AS they were
passing the Scenic theater, Rakowsl<i
and another man walked by them and
Rakowskis hat fell to the sidewalk.
He turned and said something to the
men and Mccormack struck him, the
officer said, knocking him to the side
walk. The two men then ran through
a saloon and hid on the back stairs,
where they were found a few minutes
later by the officers.
The accused told a story of walking
down. the street and accidentally
knocking the mans hat off. When
the can "cussed" him, he said, Il
hauled off and belted him, because no
man is going to 'cuss' me-"

Cook was charged with drunkenness
and breach of the peace and Claffey
with breach of the peace. The men
were lighting with canes when ar
rested by officers Leonard and J. w

marches and songs. This morning,
signs of spring had crept into the

from that time on deliveries were made in amounts only limited by the govern mentS instructions.
 By the middle of December, 1917, they were well into production on al. immense amount Of contracts and thls in spite of the fact that $500 men. com- prising about B Is per cent of their skilled mechanics had been called into the army. The only way this could be overcome was by the great number of patriotic women, many of whom had members of their families at the front, who offered their service to make up the depleted labor supply.
 It was found that these women were careful, painstaking and accurate and proved valuable on some of the lighter assembly and inspection work.
 In the executive offices 175 employees or approximately IS per cent were called to the colors. In spite of the many obstacles encountered in erect ing new buildings, changing over ola equipment and getting into new pro duction requiring entirely different processes. in the short period of the war, the Willys- Knight Overland had concluded approximately 42 per cent Of their war contracts and had bull, 100000 cars in strict adherence to the governments allowances and ma- terials
 These changes for new equipment and buildings involved s12,OO0,OO0 in various plants.
 This ability to quickly take on new production and as quickly supply ma | terials in great quantities has been characteristic of American industry during the war period. At the present time Willys- Overland officials predict a return to a larger production of au- i tomobiles as rapidly as labor and ma- 1 terial conditions will permit. It is stated that by shortly after January l 1 the company will have reached a production of 300 cars per day in its effort to supply the demand created
 by the curtailment of motor car pro-
 duction during the year just passed

 DEMANDS IF PEACE

From automobiles to gun carriages and back to automobiles again is char acteristic of the years work of the Willys- Overland company in 1918. When millions of men were put into the field, Uncle Sam became the greatest individual buyer in the world.
 Naturally he turned to the automo- bile industry for q large amount of necessary materials The Willys- Overland company and allied plants being one of the largest manufacturing concerns in the country, quickly re- sponded by making the necessary changes to get into this mammoth pro- duction program. At the signing of the armistice they were engaged n rapidly completing contracts amount ing to sS0,010,000. requiring almost 100 per cent of their production, and with In month from that period were again turning out motor cars in fair quantities.
 The contracts for the United States and allied governments included Cur tiss training plane motors, French a millimeter gun carriages, machining S-inch shells. liberty and 12-cylinder motors, Mark IT adapters and lifting plugs for shells, Sunbeam airplane mo- tors, etc, for the British government.
 Their first contract for training plane motors was received September 19, 1917. and owing to advance prep arationS they were able to get in pro- duction very quickly so that in spite of changes necessitated by the gov ernment's requirements. they were able. by March to deliver S35 motors and

operate, more so than an automobile. Works well in very young cotton and better than a horse cultivator in large cotton. And most important of all. it can stand the heat. A cost account was kept on our first cultivator in young cotton running at slow speed for careful work
 The following are maximum for fuel and oil and minimum for work actually done: Fuel gasoline, seven gallons at a5c, S1.75; oil, a very liberal allowance, 25c; operator, S3.50; total s5.50. Average days work F acres; average cost per acre, 46 cents. As compared with cost of one row two- horse cultivator: Feed one span mules, $1.5S; teamster per day, s; total $4.3S; Average days work, six acres; cost per acre, 73c.
 "A comparison of the two will show a saving of 2 cents per acre, or S324 per day A total of s19 was spent dur ing the season for upkeep and repairs on the two machines. The investment in equipment during the same amount of work would be two cultivators, two teams. mules or horses, two sets of harness, which amounts to approxi- mately double the money invested in the motor oultivator. It would be DOS sible to raise a crop with machinery alone, but I would not advise doing away with teams altogether, but the motor cultivator is a great help to the teams in the heat of the summer. At the peak of the cultivating season I would not want to be without one or two of them, as they save man power and valuable mules and horses"
 Take C. ". Carter of Wagoner, who purchased n 5-10 Avery last year. He tells us that he has used his machine steadily for the past eight months without a cents worth of repairs; that the machine has pulled two 10-inct l blows in alfalfa lard and did the work nicely without any trouble' that the machine was used in pulling a hay wagon and loader and to run an 1SX2s separator; that he would not be with out his Avery. Jeff Eiliborghi says he could not have a machine that would give him better service than has his ! little Avery 5-10 the past year; not g l cent spent but for fuel, and he has useC l it both in the field and for belt work l Such facts as theSe statements iron i men we know is conclusive evidence 1 that the day of motor farming ma. ! chinery is here. that farming can bt handled successfully without horse. power if necessary and with motor. 1 power you can farm more acreage l farm it better and reap greater profits

 Many a farmer still has to decide for himself the question, Twill it pay me to own a tractor?" Very much, of course, depends on the farmer him. self Perhaps the question could more easily be solved if concrete examples are studied.
 We will take as our first example Colorado rancher who tried out an Avery S-16 tractor on a 200-acre ranch. He purchased it in the spring of 1917 and used it for blowing oats and corn ground in the spring, discing in oats, filling silo with at2lfa silage, pulling a road grader, p10wing stubble and disking for wheat, filling five silos with corn silage fall blowing for sod and baling several carloads of hay so far this winter In the past nine months he has used the tractor 67 days. It took the place of from six to ten horses at draw bar work and handled the silage cutter and baler very nicely. H. says the total number of hours the tractor actually worked in this time was about 403, or an aver age of about six hours per day. His land was in first-claSs condition and most of the time used three blows. and gives us the following figures as to cost in different operations: Spring blowing, corn stalk land, fuel cost per acre, 27 cents; time per acre. one hour and 10 minutes. Flowing clover sod, fuel cost per acre, T cents; time per acre, one hour and T minutes. Early fall blowing oat stubble, fuel cost per acre, 7 cents; time per acre, one hour and nine minutes. Late fall blowing oat stubbe, fuel cost per acre, 20 cents time per acre, one hour and II minutes Flowing just finished, clover sod fuel cost per acre, 40 cents; time per acre, one hour and 30 minutes. Kerosene was fuel used
 During all these operations, save the last. the tractor pulled three blows and plowed eight inches deep. In Decem- Der the clover sod required so much power that only two blows were used without straining the engine. Alto gether he ploWed 205 acres, counting 45 acres of custom work. Last spring the tractor pulled two eight-foot disks and 10-foot harrow and prepared the ground at cents per acre. Deer disking last fall for wheat required more power, at q cost of 1872 cents per acre. Cutting silage cost S2.05 for fuel each 10-hour day; baling hay, s1.S2 pel day. and grading roads with a six horse grader, $2.S6. Repair expense was very low.
