The following letter has been receiv.
ed by the Ledger from Mrs. W. W
Bolts who is in Washington attending
the National Convention Of the D. A
r.
Wednesday, April 81.
"our party, consisting of Mrs. P. E
Coil, Mrs. C. G. Daniel, Jr., of Van
dalia, and myself, have seen many OF
the notables of WashingtonS besides
some old friends and we are having
one grand time. The goth Continental
Congress this year has a voting body
of 1910 Daughters and many visitors.
They come from all wei the United
States. 1t is a wonderful experience
for all of US, since we have never been
in the Nations capital before. Wash
ington has many things of interest
and we are trying to cover all the
ground.
"Sid Houston and Mr.. and Mrs. L.
H. Hannah were our first callers. Mr..
and Mrs. Clarence Cannon, former
Missourians, a brother of Mrs. W. B.
Peeler, took US for a long automobile
ride over the city and through the cap
ital building. Mrs. Lobdell, wife of
Judge Lobdell, of the Federal Banks,
and a cousin of Miss Nina Pearson,
took US to Arlington and over the city.
We have seen our two senators and
today we lunch with Hon. Champ
Clark.
I'VE went to the reception given in
honor Of General Pershing Monday
evening through the courtesy of Mr..
Clark, and Thursday we go to a re-
ception given by Mrs. S. P. Spencer to
the Missouri Daughters and to dinner
with Mr. and Mrs. Hannah.
I'VE have also visited the Supreme
Court and the Senate Chamber and
heard Mr.. Reed speak, of course. At
tended the Presidents church on Sun
day, which is like any other church
where the men sleeppeacefully through
the sermon. The President has not
appeared in public since we have been
here but those who know say he is
practically we'll again.
"Mr. Walter Page, who wrote the
Americans Greed for which he re-
ceived a prize Of 81 1000, gave our
party an autographed copy of the
Greed which we will prize as asouvenir
Of Washington. Our time is half up
and our finances r half depleted so
we will probably be home Tuesday.
Hotel rates are very high. A meal
will cost a dollar without food that
ever grunted, barked, mewed or cack-
led. A real meal is $500 and up. But
the taxi rate is the lowest I have ever
paid. 1t has rained nearly every since
we arrived in Washington"

rated. While rated at IS horsepower
on the drawbar it can deliver more
than 10. While rated at II horsepower
on the belt, it can deliver SO.
Thus we establish a reserve fol

plows in hard blowing or four plows
under favorable conditions.
With reasonably good footing, this
tractor delivers a constant pull Of 5000
pounds at tho drawbar. Its reserve
power makes it possible to deliver
5000 pounds pull, OF over. Compare
