With an amazed, awed and motley cr.owd of farmers, professors and business men follow ing iU furrow, a tractor, guided by no human hand, plowed a 20-acre field on the state farm, on the D. L. D. highway near University Place Wednesday. It was controlled by an electrical device that will automatically stop the tractor if it should leave the fur row, or when it has completed its work. It is the invention of F. L. Zybach, 32-year-old motor car inspec tor for the Union Pacific at Grand Island, who made ti six years ago when he was farming. He grew tired of the tedium of riding a tractor plow, made his first crude self-plowing machine, and found time to re pair fences, thresh, or go to the mov ies while the tractor did the farm work. Those seeing the demonstration to day are convinced that it may mean that the. honest farmer of the future; will be able to rest in the shade of j his vine and fig tree while the un-i canny machine will do the work.j Except for the plowing of the first j furrow, which must be done to make a guide for the tractor, with corners curved instead of square, and except for replenishing the gaso line and cil in the machine, it needs no attention whatsoever. Farmers Were Worried. The device can be made for any tractor, but the model demonstrat ing idoay is attached to a Fordson and sells for $35. Zybach said today that when he sought a fortune on a farm near(J Grand Island in 1921, he grew tied of the hot and dusty work cf riding the(J plow. So he fastened his first con-'J. trolling device, a crude affair that inj.J. the main, however, resembles the in- !. strument of today. With some gasj.t. pipe and heavy tin, some wood andj some copper thumb tacks, he made his first mechanical driver. The first day he let it go it worked, and so he intended to have it plow all night while he slept. Toward midnight he was aroused by neighboring farmers. They "rais ed hell" he says, demanding that he stop the plowing, as they were afraid the machine would get loose during the night, and plow a wild career iiuuukuuui iuc vwuiiii. it, but the next day invited them to a demonstration oi us saieiy. When they saw that if it got out of the furrow, it stopped, they were reconciled, and the second night it plowed all through the dark hours. The next day the farmer who had objected the most employed tractor to plow his SO-acre field Turns the Plow Lcose. 7vin(.ii s:.irt his farm then was in! a 20-acre r.nd a 40-acre tract.

I You were His murderers, and it was by you that He was condemned , to death, but now is at the right hand ui i" r::iner l ii iieuveu. After the crucifixion and the res urrection the disciples, going back to fishing, when the Master appeared i to them on the shore of the sea of Gallilee, and they did not have the sterling courage which they poasessed later. .

Peter said "This Jesus did God raise up, where of we are witnesees." For did not He and John visit and enter the sepulcher on the morning of the resurrection, and met Him a number of times after, before the ascension of the Lord of Glory in t heaven and they were indeed the very best of witnesses for the Cnrist, f or did not their lives testify in His i t-ehalf during all the subsequent years, even to their giving their very lives for His cause and His sake. "Being therefore at the right hand of God exaulted, and having received cf the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit. He hath poured fourth this which you see and hear" continued Peter. Let all the house of Israel (for he was speaking also to the Jews) therefore know assurredly. that God ihcth made Him both Lord and Christ j this Jesus whom you crucified. By the resurrection and ascension of tlio j Master to heaven, God the Father had set the seal of sonship on Jesii3 enrist. ns the Savious of the world, and wag then at the right hand of the Father. Peter virtually said, you have waited for lo these centuries for the coming of the Messiah and when He did come , tho fulfillment rf nrnnrv vnn "basely murdered Him, and hung Him to a tree, but now you come asking what means this great commotion. It is now reasonable that when par don had come to the world when the people had been released from their prison and were given the boon of eternal life that they should feel the joy which their countenances radiate and their actions bespeak.

This was the intial starting of th church which was to continue until the last enemy to be conquered is death. While this the initial work of the church since tbe ascension of Christ, wa3 a glorious beginning, still thero remained pnl has ever remained, and will for all time remain, work for those who are willing to do it. With the heroic example which the apostles have given the world, we should do all in our power to show the appre ciation for the boon which the Master has given us at tho cost of His life. There is work for us all to do In each diy, be it little or much which will assist in the making of the way hrisht, the road smoother aid th goal more certain for those who are discouraged, byt their treading the rough and rugged pathway.
