Don't hoot at the man who raises

Somebody wants state legisla

From the suggestions that the

Uela Kun has skipped from Buda

Congress, planning to adjourn
till the end of August, proceeded to
(ban up its important bills first.
Isn't that very irregular and uncon

Why should Mexicans need arms,
anyway? We should think they

Uncle Sam's air pofctnirn went on

The miniotcr of a little up-state
New York church started out with
a. little old automobile, made a 55
mile journey, traded four times, and

Isn't that man wasting his talents
in the pulpit?
:o:
Kepresentativo Dyer of Missouri
has introduced a bill in congress
providing that an automobile thief
shall be punished by a fine of $5,000
or imprisonment from one to ten
yean, or both. Pretty severe. Still,
it isn't long since they hanged men
in Missouri for stealing horses and
even a flivver is worth as much as
a horse.

Walter Savage Lanilor, so they
say, got mad at his cook once upoft
.a time, and threw her out of the
window. Immediately after, re
membering a bed of violets under
neath the window, he exclaimed,
"Good Lord! I forgot the violets!"
If Walter lived in these times he
would be sending violets to the
cook, not sending the cook to the
violets.
THAT HOMECOMING.
There was much speculation, a
few months ago, as to what would
happen when the army men came
home. There were about 4.000,000
of them in American camps and in
training or service abroad: They
had become accustomed to a new
mode of life. Half of them had seen
new lands and peoples. Nearly half
had gone through the ordeal of war
fare, with its hardships, horrors and
strange innovations.
In what mood would those men
return? Would they fit into their
old niches in business, industry and
social life? Would they be content
again in civilian work? Or would
they turn to iconoclasts and revolu
tionists?
Most of them have come home bv
this time. Since the signing of the
armistice over 3.000,000 enlisted
men and officers have been discharg
ed from the army. And what is the
result ?
Anybody can see for himself
There is no revolution. Those men
are not upsetting things. Thev are
getting jobs and going back to work
and taking their places in the social
and economic scheme with surpris
ing ease and promptness. They
have made hardly more than a
ripple in the national life.
They aro healthier, stronger, more
disciplined, better men mentally,
physically and morally. They are
more progressive, energetic and con
fident. That is about all but it is
a great deal, and it is something for
which most of the people at homo
were not prepared.
For these practical gains instead
of the loss of steadiness and stamina
that so many feared, the nation
should be profoundly thankful.
:o:
A LEAGUE TO RIGHT WRONGS.
it is a sensible plan. Many of those
boys and girls may go on to agri
cultural colleges: and if they are
encouraged in their desire for fur
ther education by this credit for
well-done farm work, so much the
better. There is also a good deal
more involved in satisfactory club
work than might appear on the
surface. There is very practical
arithmetic, for any successful club
worker knqws how much he or she
pays for materials and how much
profit is made on the season's pro
duce. Whether it be gardening or
stock raising or canning or the
noiiltrv business, the club wor.;
trwiilioa tho ehrml enrrieuliim at
many points. There is a consider
able ajnouut of practical physics
chemistry and nature study involv
ed in the club member's agricultur
al pursuits.
It is a fine thing to recognize the
gains already made through these
clubs, and to encoirfage other boys
and girls to join them.
:o:
PLENTY OF SUGAR.
It is rather confidently expected
at Washington that Japan herself
will cut the Gordian knot of the
Shantung controversy by making an
explicit statement -f her honorable
intentions with reg;.rd to the pen
insula and set a definite date for re
turning it to China.
Such action would he wise and
timely. It would conciliate Ameri
can opinion and promote good feel
ing between the United States and
Japan. It would help greatly in
smoothing the way toward ratifica
tion f the peace treaty and restor
ing order and confidence throughout
the world.
If Japan, however, declines to
adopt this sensible and honorable
procedure, what is to be done about
Shantung? Shall the Shantung sit
uation be allowed to upset the
whole plan for permanent, peaceful
world organization, or shall world
organization be utilized to sraighten
out the Shantung situation?
A level headed observer reminds
the public that "if China has been
wronged in any way by Japan, or
Japan fails to keep its pledges, the
League .of Nations is the only in
strument through which China can
hope to obtain redress and justice."

SCHOOL CREDITS FOR FARMING.
So good has been the work done
by boys and girls in Maine agricul
tural clubs that school superintend
ents have decided to give credit for
it. In the grade schools boys and
girls will be given honorary consid
eration for their farm club work.
In the high schools one-fourth cred
it will be given for every year of
satisfactorily completed work in any
club conducted by the extension ser
rice department of the University of
Maine.
This may seem at first like giving
credit for something quite a little
off the scholastic line. Nevertheless
There is no lack of sugar in the
country now. nor will there be, says
George A. Zabriskie, president of
the United States sugar equaliza
tion board. It should not cost more
than eleven cents a pound retail
anywhere in the country.
There is no need for nervousness
or hoarding. Profiteers if reported
may have their licenses revoked.
There has been an apparent short
age, due to belated orders Trom
canners and candy-makers who
were holding off in hopes of a low
er price. These people have now
realized what the price situation is
and will be, and many of them have
placed big orders at once. There is.
however, plenty of sugar to fill these
orders and to do the home canuin?
and use in the coffee and on the
berries besides.
The marine workers siriko has
been tying some of the sugar ships
up at the docks, but the equaliza-
t inn bn.ird is sending radios to
ships at sea. diverting them to Cuba
to get raw sugar, and this condi
tion will clear up before long.
It gives one a comfortable feeling
to know that some central authority
is taking hold of the sugar situation
and getting results, both in distri
but ion and in prices.
If this can be done lor sugar.
why can it not be done tor other
foods?

' IHERE is no "joker" in this price. We are
not telling you one story in this advertise-
- ment and then leaving it for our dealers
to break tho sad news that the advertised
price won't buy a tractor unless you pay extra
for a lot of necessary features. The Titan
dealer won't charge you extra for "starting and
service" before he can deliver the tractor. He
won't show youa machine stripped of many
essential parts belt pulley, fenders, platform,
governor, drawbar, tools and then tell you
that you can have these things by paying extra
for them. The Titan at this advertised price
is a complete 3-plcw kerosene tractor.
Then there is another thing. We are not experiment
ing: at your expense wh?n we sell you a Titan 10-20.
There is real farm machine and tractor manufacturing
ing experience back of it. We have been in the farm
machine business for 3 years and have been supphing
tractors for 14 years. Not another company in the
world knows fhs farrr.cr's power and machine require
ments as the Harvester organization does.
Would you entrust your bank account to a man who
had never had any experience in handling money?
Will you risk your farm profits in a tractor built by
designers whose knowledge of farming is limited to
books and a drawing board? It will pay you to think
about these things when you buy your tractor.
Starting and Instruction Service
Another "joksr" cf some tractor concerns is a charge you a large "starting
and service" fee extia. This is another way of getting a low price for adver
tising purposes. But you can't p-t the tractor without paying this charge.
They make it compulsory. The Intcnctional d?alcf giues oti this service
without askint; you to pay extra for it when jiou bii'i a Tilan 10-2Q. Free tractor

When you buy a TITAN the
original price includes:
n. wige, wiue incuon ciuicn pulley, made in hve
sizes, equipped with safety shield, is mounted V. fs-6Cx
directly on the crank-shaft of the low-speed, steady Jii'JvVv'
Titan engine and delivers the full power to the TCv$r - ft!
driven machine. The Titan 10-20 can be auicklv : (f&?2rJA-t
backed into the belt. because of tho location of F$r'H?I;? li
me pulley and the belt clears the front wheels vX5 1
and Other nartS Cif tht trSCtnr Kt, I ernr-mo 2t
margin. It is not necessary to di holes for the i-'l T"
pulley was not put on as an afterthought. The designers did not overlook it ir
the first place. Some tractor builders committed this very serious error, due tc
lack of farm knowledge and experience. To remedy this error, they designed
small make-shift pulley, in one size only, attached it in an awkward place, anc
charge you $35 to $40 for it. The Titan 10-20 friction clutch pulley is fumishec
without extra charge. - .
Throttle Governor
Some tractors are soli without governors because,
perhaps, the designers did not know that one was
needed. Which is the best economy to psy an
operator a falaryjust to sit on the tractor and ad
just, the fuel to the load variations when engaged
in belt work or let a throttle governor do it with
out extra cost? do it automatically, perfectly.
The Titan throttle governor saves fuel, prevents
grain losses by delivering uniform power to your
thresher and lengthens the life of both tractor
and driven machines. You pet this governor
without extra charge .
T)yo7l)'nY Some tractr builders put a
i-Jl dV LCtl hook and eye affair on the
tail end of their tractors and call it a drawbar!
They seem to have overlooked the fact that a
farm tractor not only pulls plows but also
mowers, hay loaders, grain binders, harvester
threshers, etc.. each requiring different hitch ad
justment. Perhaps they didn't know about these
other machines. Lock at the Titan drawbar.
Note the rjrovisions foi a wide ranee of adjust
ment both up and down and sidewibe. The Titan drcwhar fits every need ant
it is furnished withovt extra cost.
---- - -'-
PVnfVQ "rhe designers of some tractors
X tll-v lo evidently did not know that
the drive wheels thTcv.- dirt, dust or mud over
the operator and machine unless fenders prevent
it. The Titan 10-20 has such fenders. They aro
also a "safety first" feature. The state of Michigan
has passed a law prohibiting the sale of fenderless
tractors. Ti'.nn frnaers ar? furnished withovt the
$40 to 550 extra charge made by the "low-price"
manufacturers.
. - y 'j .
TD i-frYVf Soma tractor designers apparently never sat in a tractor ei
1 IdllOlIIl ten hours a day or more, jolting over rough fielJs. so the
can't appreciate what a relief it is for the tractor operator to rest himself no'
and then by standing up, without loss of time. You will appreciate the Titan 10-J
platform that enables you to do this. It is a comfort feature furnished regular!
i with every Titan 10-20 tractor no extra cost.
Tn A complete set cf r.ixteen tools is furnished with every Titan 10-2
1 OUib This handy tool-kit is provided in spit of the fact that Titaa 10-1
tractors get out cf order less frequently than any other tractors in the worl
Some tractor concerns whose tractors really need frequent adjustment and repair
furnish nothing but two or three wrenches. They tell you that their product
so good that it doesn't need adjustment. Do you believe this? As a matter
fact, they omit necessary tools for the same reason th.ey omit : the essentia! featur.
described above-to make a low "camouflage price"! The Titan W2Q cor,
plete tool hit is furnished without extra charge.
