Tractor Demonstration.

The Ellwood tractor, a general pur-
pose, one-man tractor, will be demon
strated on the old Harrison Stebbins
farm one and quarter miles east of
Cooksville on Friday, September 23rd.
Three tractors will be at work all day
on variety of general farm work.
The simplicity of the bitches, the ease
of changing from one implement to an
other, the simple, one-man control, and
the superior construction of the ma
chine will all be demonstrated and ex-
planned.
H. A. Burd, general manager, is
sponsor for the statement that this
demonstration will conclusively prove
that one man with an Ellwood tractor
can do ALL the work on the average
farm. In other words, that the Eli
wood will "motorize the farm. !"
The Ellwood Tractor Co. at Madison
has worked seven years to perfect this
tractor. 1t is simple in design and OPP
Grafton and constructed of the best
quality materials. Stock farm nipple
ments are used with it. No special
power" tools are required.
The company follows its sales with
an intelligent and interested service
which guarantees satisfied owner and
a constantly useful tractor. AS part
of this service a school will be con-
Quoted next winter for owners and
PROSPECTIVE owners in which every de-
tail of construction and maintenance
will be mastered.
w. S. Heddles is president of the
Ellwood Tractor Co. c. D. Ellwood,
vice president and chief engineer, has
had several years of experience in
tractor work before designing this ma
chine. H. A. Burd, secretary-treas-
urer and general manager. was former
ly on the faculty of the University of
Wisconsin. O. A. Kampen, sales man
ager, has had many years of sales ex-
perience in other lines.

Asparagus Has a Pedigree.

Asparagus was cultivated in Rome
200 years B. c., and Pliny, in his His
tory Naturalis," mentions that near
Ravenna there grew kind of which
three heads weighed a pound. Aspar-
agus fiolrished also in Greece. 1t is
native Of several places near the sea
In Britain. At Kynance cove, in
Cornwall, a rocky island is called "As-
paragus island" because at one time
the plant was cultivated there. In an
cient days all sprouts of young. vege-
tables were called asparagus and in
comparatively modern times the arti-
choke, cardoon, seakale and alisander
were included. Nowadays only the
one is so called. Most probably all
are wild sea-coast plants, and culti-
waited asparagus of an unpalatable or
der may still be found on British
shores.

Korean Women NameIess.

The Korean woman has not even a
name. In childhood she receives a
nickname, by which she is known in the
family and by her friends, but, when
she arrives at maturity, it is employed
only by ''the sister of or 'the daugh-
ter of such a person.
After her marriage her name is bur-
led: she is absolutely nameless., IF
it happens that a woman has to appear
in a law court the judge gives her a
special name for use while the case
lasts, in order to save time and to
simplify matters.

of the state. Certain Republican
newspapers dispute this contention
and uphold and defend the gross
sales tax law as Just one, but if
you wish to know in whose inter
ests it was framed just bear these
two facts in mind:
The passage of the act was not
demanded by the common people of
the state. They were against it..
That is one fact worth remembering.
The other fact is that the big in.
terest5 got squarely behind the bill
and exerted all the influence at,
their command to bring about it's
passage, and when the big interests
get busy it is in their own behalf.
! They know why they wanted the
gross sales tax bill enacted and it
wasn't because of any sympathy on
their part for The farmer or The
small merchant or the working man,
but because they wanted TO com.
pei these to pay more taxes. and
they knew that through a gross
sales tax the designed end could be
accomplished.
But after exerting all their
strength in behalf of the measure
they found they could not secure
the passage of tie bill and then
they summoned the governor of the
state to their aid and he, by rally
ing his Republican followers as they
had never been rallied before, sue.
ceeded in securing Il majority for
the bill That is another fact worth
remembering,
The Exponent opposed the meas
ure because it believed the gross
sales tax principle wrong in theory,
unjust to the average citizeu of the
tended to place the heavy burden
of taxation ON those least able to
pay, and it still adleres to that
opinion. The idea looks none the
better to this paper because it has
been embodied in a statute.
Or course the people must sab.
NIT, having no other alternative.
As stated, the new law Gees into
effect the first Of July, and in a
few more months the people of
West Virginia will have a real Cd.
pCrtunity to judge for themselves
whether it is the kind of law thew
want. The Exponent still holds il
is not and believes ii will be found
so Objectionable that its repeal will
become the Lee ling issue in the

CROP REPORT

Synopsis weather and crop condi.
tons West Virginia, week ending
June Is. 1921:
The week was continuously warm,
the night temperatures being gen.
orally high, and scattered light 10
moderate showers occurred daily
The conditions continue droughty in
some sections, however, especially
over the eastern counties. Corn
made rapid growth, has a good stand,
and is generally we'll worked. In
most of the agricultural districts
wheat is in the shock, with Il fair
yield. Oats arc heading well. Po-
tatocs are only fair, owing to the
recent drought. While pastures
and meadows arc somewhat improv.
ed, more rain is needed.
