Over D Models of Tractors

tleAo UGH dliOLltu III lIt CUT ner of the fair grounds.
 Over 9 Models of Tractors
 Commenting on the growing impor tsnce and interest taken in the trac- tors and farm machinery, Superinten- dent Heard said:
 There are being manufactured today over 221 makes and models of tractors in the United States This is over three times as many makes and models as of automobiles. It looks as if the tractor should have to come to a stan dardized product much the same as the automobile. What form this standard ized tractor should take is the question of the hour among manufacturers, dealers and farmers.
 "A study of the different types of tractors gives some interesting figures. There are 195 models of tractors with four-cylinder vertical motors, the bal ance of the 221 being mainly the twin cylinder type, such as the Titan and Waterloo Boy, with a few six and eight-cylinder motors. Of the 221 makes of tractors, 12S of them are of the four wheel type, IS of the two- wheel type, II of the three wheel type with one wheel in the rear, nine of the Moline tractor type. seven of three wheel type, with a single front steering wheel, Wallis Samson, etc.
 Every Dealer in State to Show
 There are three models of tractors with the four wheel drive. Minnesota has more manufacturers of tractors than any state in the Union, most all of which are the wheel type tractors California leads in number of manu- lecturers of the track laying type, such as Caterpillar, Holt, Best, Bean and Tuba
 There are very few tractors that ex- ert a drawbar pull equal to their own dead weight, while the largest regu- larly made claims a drawbar pull of 11.250 pounds"
 Practically every dealer in farm ma chinery in Arizona has signified his in tention of showing. Each kind of trac- tor-wheel and creeper type-motor cultvators and planters and equipment will be shown.
 Rules and regulations governing the demonstrations are now being drawn up by the tractor committee. composed of Hugh Stapley. R. H, Whyman and Ernest G. Coan.

YOUNG BARSBY WRITES OF
EXPERIENCES IN EUROPE

Stuart Barsby, grandson of Mr.. and
Mrs. ]. F. Keller of North Delta writ
es as follows:
Longres, France
December -, 1918
Dear Aunt. Just received most
wonderful and welcome letter from
you, a fellow doesn't get one like it
very often.
The battalion l am in has been
here in France about two months
now and about the same time in Eng
land, so we are seeinl some of the
land, besides having the pleasure of
serving our country bit. There are
wonderful sights to see every day, the
places we have read about in history.
The city of Longres, which we are
near now is the walled city and dates
way back before Christ, of course
everything that we have gone through
the past few months is more interest
ing than any mere church that is two
or three thousand years old.
We are having the time of our
young lives. We eat well and are
clothed well, of course the hardships
come with it. The mud is the worst
we have to contend with The soil here
is most all clay, SO when it rains,
which is all the time. the water will
not go into the ground, but forms q
mud that would take the heart out
of the strongest of men. 'Tis lovely
indeed going over the top in mud to
ones knees. You can imagine how a
tank sinks in, when a tank only
weighs about forty tons.
We get all the smokes We Gan
handle, can buy them cheaper than in
the States. One thing We can't get
is candy. / often walk to the near
est city which is five or six miles,
just to get piece of candy and then
stand in line never less than an hour
to get one bar of chocolate, but in
the coming years we will look back

all good sailors go to Heaven. When
they get there they will tell: AL army
boys go to-(groan.)"
Airplanes appeared and did stunts
over our heads. They looked like
silver birds in the dull London sun
light-great. wiue winged birds full of
the joy of flying. Six smaller planes
appeared in formation and passed on
their stately way.
Finally when We were worn out with
waiting SO long, we heard the guns
firing their salute and knew President
Wilson had arrived. The street was
lined with South African troops in
khaki uniform, with white felts. white
bands on their caps and swagger sticks
just youngsters, most OF them. but
very straight and smart looking. A
very handsome boy happened to be
stationed in front OF us. The fact that
bunch Of American girls was behind
him made him forget every once in a
turn his head
Presently came a royal guard. the
boys who were the first to go against
the germans and took the brunt OF
things for so long. Their horses were
as alike in color as possible and the
men simply did splendid. The officers
were simply gorgeous. Then came a
gorgeous individual in red and then
the first carriage. There was Woorow
and there was George. Wilson look
ed fine. Unexpectedly good looking to
me. He has smile that embraces
the whole world.
The next carriage held Mrs. Wilson

on these little hardships and have
many a laugh,

on these little hardships and have
many laugh.
You ask me to tell you about the
tanks, which would be big job, but
at the same time they are simple in
their action. There are eleven men
in each heavy tank, two six FOUNDER
guns and three machine guns, make
up fort that goes creeping over the
ground like a big bull dog ready for
any thing that might present itself
and they most always wipe out the
thing that they come in contact with.
OF all the things the German soldier
is afraid of, the tank puts more fear
into him than all the other machines
of war put together. They are a
great help to our infantry, it is our
business to go ahead and wipe out
the machine gun nests which cause
so much damage to advancing troops.
They will perform stunts, that are to
our largest and most we'll known trac-
tor men, impossible. They will creep
up to tree at least twelve inches
thick and crush it down as if it were
never there, will climb a hill almost
straight up. You can picture to your
self the lovely time we have in them,
humping over everything from one
foot jump to a ten foot jump all the
time doing what is necessary to OPP
crate all the guns the engine and
gears that do the turning from one
side to the other. Besides all that
we wear steel helmets and gas masks.
Have you ever seen the temperature
up to 13O degrees? If you have you
know how hot it is in one.
We get a training that no other
branch of the army gets. We must
be mechanic, driver, six pound
gunner, a machine gunner, gears
man and in fact everything to be done
so when one man gets knocked out,
anyone else can jump into his place.
We must know the way the infantry
works in attack, must know how the
aviators do their work, how the artil-
lery regulate their barrage, not to go

back to the hut safely.
Many of the girls have been i'll with
colds and grippe, but so far / have
escaped the epidemic.
And now comes the news that we
are to be sent to France on Thursday.
We will be on the boat all night and
will sleep on deck or any place we
can find to curl up in. How glad !
shall be to get my mail in Paris.

All that attended reported an en-

A number of the Seniors and their
friends enjoyed a Rock party at the
High School building Friday night.
Owing to the scarcity of boys in
the Senior class the girls adopted a
favorite method of choosing guests.
A list of boys were made and the
names were then drawn by lot. The
plan worked out quite successfully,
and everyone enjoyed himself play
ing Rock.
Refreshments of peanut sandwich
es, fruit salad and coffee were served
after the conclusion of the games.

There is a large jug on the table in

of being arrested.

Faculty Past Times

Mr.. Rindom is very fond of hunt

and there is school six days out of
the week. Can any one tell where
he finds time?
Miss Ryle's favorite past time is
playing games, especially rock.
Miss Wilson says she certainly en-
joys telling stories.
The most studious members of the
faculty are Miss Gustafson and Miss
Henry, who spend all their spare time
reading.
Miss Ester would rather play bas-
ket ball than anything else.
The wild west would suit some of
the teachers, for instance Miss Carr
would like Liberal to be all noun
tains, so that she might climb. Miss
Alsop would like to ride horseback,
and Miss Thomas would rather hike.
The Algebra II class was reseated.
Willard Harnden likes to write
stories. OF course there is some
doubt as to the publication of all of
these but still there's the talent.
Longie makes dandy yell leader.
The enthusiasm was very good when
he led the yells Thursday morning.
Some of the Algebra III class think
Miss Thomas is too easy on the girls
in that class. There are ony two,
while there are several boys.
There are few complaints about
Algebra l this year, but then it's
mostly Freshmen and they don't know
how to fuss.
Miss Alsop considers that there
isn't enough dirt in the agriculture
room so she has several of the stu
dents bringing dirt inside in little
bottles.
Fifth and sixth hour students
would not mind having few new
typewriters.
Miss Scandrett has no time to .en-
Joy herself. 1t takes too much time
providing subjects for Freshman"
themes.
Several members of the faculty at
tended the roll call meeting at the
Christian church Thursday evening.
The second and fourth hour Geom-
etry classes are going to have the
pleasure of staying after school to
give review Theorems and corolarles
which they fail to give in class.
Ralph Bane would like to know if
there is any difference between High
School manners and any other kind.
"Syzygy"-this is word. Wanted,
the meaning. Consult George Sprad-
ling or the dictionary.
The Cicero classes will complete
their first. semester's work by the
18th. This is the best record ever
made in Cicero since Miss Henry's
teaching.
The Caesar class is preparing a
Latin play, which will probably be
given in chapel. Watch Caesars ghost
bloom out in the Caesar class.
1t would scare high school pupil
to death to see new type writing RIB
bon at school.
The Junior Class in L. H. S. seems
to be very dead for some cause. Some
person or persons ought to do some
thing to hven this class up. All of
the other classes have had parties,
hikes, wienie roasts, and so on, but
the Juniors have had nothing like
this. We believe that thos class should
be represented in L. H. S. as much as
any other class in high school. Some
one please help class in need for
the Juniors are surely in need Of a
