You can't even begin to imagine
the "bigness" of this proposition. I
have rode for miles and passed truck
trains and couldn't begin to count
the number of trucks. The traffic
here is worse than in unv large citv

truck drivers say they have started
on trips which ordinarily would tak..
a day, but would take several days
to complete on account of so much

All Collected to Present Time Will
be Forwarded for the Use
They were Intended.
From Moniluv's I;iilv.
A circular from the University farm
savs that t lie collection of materials
for use in making carbon for gas
masko will be discontinued and the
barrels and containers set out for the
collection of such materials will be
removed and all signs and notices
calling the matter to peoples' atten
tion taken down.
However, the materials that have
been collected to date are to be for
warded immediately to collection cen
ters and utilized as intended. There
are yet a goodly number of gas
musks to be manufactured and' the
carbon for them is badly needed.
The schools and other agencies as
sisting in the collection of such ma
terials are hereby notified that the
necessity for such materials having
ceased, their obligation in the matter
terminates and thanks are extended
to all who had a share in the reali
zation of over seventy-five carloads
accumulated before the peace arniis
tace made further efforts necessary.
As stated above the 75 car loads are
to be rushed to accumulation centers
and used as needed.
LOSES A VALUABLE CALF
From Mernliiv's Dally.
A. L. Hit tier reports the ioss of a
calf last evening from eating green
alfalfa which the frost had touched.
The animal had gotten into the field
but observed soon afterward and re
moved, but apparently had eaten too
much of the alfalfa although it oil
not seem sick when driven from the
field. Later in the evening Mr. Huf
fer heard the calf making a fuss and
; he went to the barn but it was too
j far gone to be saved. The calf was
worth about $4 0.

HARVESTING is mighty hard on
horses, sometimes cruel. You're liable
to ruin your best. But this Case 10-20
Kerosene Tractor doesn't mind heat nor long
hours. Plenty of power to operate up hill if
your land is not level. The hitch is such that
you can cut a full swath all the time.
This means you can do all your harvesting at
proper time and run no risks. You can do your
own and a couple Of neighborhood jobs.
This Case 10-20 pulls two 7 to 8-foot binders.
It burns kerosene economically while working,
and costs nothing to feed when idle.
Let us tell you all about this powerful tractor,
or others of the Case line.
