FILTRATION A SCIENCE
Alice Joyce Shows How It Is Done in
"The Vengeance of Durand"

"The Vengeance of Durand"
The science of Irritation with its
sharps and flats, its fling of LEFT
eyebrows, its coy glances, its demu e,
shr, mixing and sidewise glances, is all
portrayed to the very | m of the
theme at last on the screen. Vita
graph is issuing a film that frankly
tears Irritation apart and reveals its
anatomy.
TIL 8 production is entitled 1.-THE
Vengeance of Durand," which will be
shown as the feature attraction at the
Harte Theat today.
A Ice Joyce, star Of the picture, is
called upon through some of its most
dramatic situations to employ flirta-
ton upon. four different men The
young woman is cast as Marion and
later as Beatrice Durand, bride
who commits su eide, and daughter
who works revenge Of her mothe- s
death through Irritation.
1t 3 a tragedy of her own soul.
Beatr ce. using al the arts and arti-
fees OF the vampire, is called on to
wreck and destroy the souls OF not
only unloved courtiers, but that of
the man she worships. Miss Joyce
through 1t all conveys a sub-conscious
suggestion OF her so row under every
SIN le. In the end the girl wins her
way against fate and is saved for q
happy fluff llment OF dreams.

Dear Sir I bought one Of your Forsdon tractors last fall and
will say that I I'M very well satisfied with my tractor so far as I have
used it; I plowed about 80 acres last fall. The land I plowed is con;
hard: l plowed at least six inches deep and had plenty Of power at
all times. AS to fuel consumption, l used about IN gallons of kero-
sen per acre, and about 8 quarts of lubricating oil per day, plow-
ing about ~ acres. I think a man running a tractor should look well
to fabrication, as it will prolong the life of the tractor. I believe the
Fordson tractor is economical on fuel, my tractor did not heat and
gave me no mechanical trouble. "#t% t1 @

Dear Sir: | began threshing with my Fordson tractor as soon as
| received it pulling a 20-36 inch Rumey Ideal jr3 separator using
Is gallons of kerosene in 10 hours. At least SO farmers in a radius
of 80 miles came to see it work and all were surprised and more than
satisfied with it's power. We threshed when other rigs were laid up
on account Of damp, tough grain and done a first class job too.
I have plowed 1876 acres pulling a triple disc pillow, blowing 6 to
inches deep, taking 2 to 8 inches Of subsol in very dry ground.
Have had no trouble except what was caused by lack of exper-
fence and poor oil and can sincerely recommend it to all farmers.

Dear Sir: Replying to yours re-How l liked my Fordson! Am
pleased to be able to inform you that we did a great deal Of work
with it, in fact worked it all summer except in harvest. AS you know
I have done practically all my blowing and dsdng with tractors for
the last 9 years and have used the Rumley, the Aultman Taylor and
the Heider and do not hesitate to state that for general service the
Fordson has them all beat, They do not pack the ground in blowing
les spkeep and r. easily repaired and the repairs can be gotten in
kerosene perfectly and will work q very long day with a full load
with M filling of Is gallons and practically oils itself, which is
worth considering when you have inexperienced men o. boys at the
job. It costs less per acre to plow with them than the larger engine
both in labor and fuel as any ordinary farm hand can run them and it
takes an experienced high-priced man to operate most other kinds and
they are hard to get and are not as a%rule willing to do other farm
work when conditions are not favorable for using tractors, and pretty
expensive help-if they are willing. All things considered / find the
Fordson much the most profitable machine on this farm.

We plowed and narrowed 2eo acres and had plenty of power at

fuel, we kept track of same on 26O acres where we used l Sd gallons
of kerosene per acre and used about 1 quart oil blowing : acres, max
ing total fuel cost about SO cents per acre.
The only repairs used-one set of vibrators.
We found the tractor economical on fuel, absolutely did not heat

had no trouble whatever.
