Incidentally, It will surprise some people to learn that Molly's real name was not Pitcher, but Hays. The battle of Monmouth, which took place after the British evacuation of Philadelphia and was brought, on by the determination of Gen. Washington to follow and attack the enemy as they were retreating to New York, was fought on one of the hottest days of the year, a fact which may have helped the Continental troops in catching up with Gen. Clinton's forces. The Intense heat, accompanied by rainy weather, JlUt'HK WIIKUE MOLLY PITCH hit I) I h',1). made slow marching, and at Mon mouth, before they could reach the heights of Middletowu, VI miles further 'on, the British were forced to stop and give battle. It Is said that because of the heat many soldiers on lsith sides 'fell on tills biittletleld without even having received u wound. With John Hays, an American ar llllery sergeant, during this battle, was his young wife, Molly, and she made It JiIt business to go mining the men with a pitcher of water to slake their thirst. This gained for her the nick name of ?'.MoIly Pitcher." Mrs. Hays was of (iermau extraction, her maiden name iiaving been Mary Ludwlg. She did not belong to the army at the time of the battle of Monmouth, but she had fol lowed her husband In his various marches and offered her service In car rying water, voluntarily. At Monmouth she brought the water from a spring RECLAIMING OUR DESERTS. Tbey Are Gradually YlelilinK to the Kricroncli nitrite of Civilization. The desert still maintains Its fast nesses In the West. There we some spots better entitled to the name than others, but each year these fastnesses lire shrinking before the advance of human enterprise, its the water might rise over the laud, leaving the high and difficult places lo the hist. So these Islands are scntt(ed through several Stales and Territories, mostly In Arl kona, New Mexico, California, Nevada, Ictali and Oregon, In the great valley jlying between the main ridge of the 'Kix'ky Mountains, on the east, and the 'ascades, Sierra Nevada and the coast irange, on the west. Chief among them are the Mojavt Jiesert, In southeastern California, s territory as large as Switzerland; the IColorado and tiila deserts of south iwestern Arizona and soul hern Call for Jtila ; the marvelous painted desert of Inorlheastern Arizona; and the (ireat ,'Salt Lake desert of I'tali.

When he fell an officer ordered his gun to be wheeled back out of the way, but Mrs. Hays called out that she would serve It and without waiting for an answer proceed ed to do so, keeping the guu in effec tive operation until the battle was end ed. She wore a skirt made In the fash ion of that time but over this was an artilleryman's coat and on her head a cocked hat with feathers In it. The next day (!en. (Ireen hunted Molly up and conducted her to (ien. Washington, the commander-in-chief, who, contrary to the rules of war, gave her a ser geant's cmiunlssion, and recommended that her name be placed on the list of half-pay ollicers for life. Sergeant Hays. Molly's husband, was n-it killed in this battle, but on'y se verely woundt d and hw wife nursed him back to life again. This was n it the very lirsi buttle in which Molly bad i taken an active part. She was wilh liei liusbiiud at Fort Clinton when it was : attacked by the P.ri;ih and the Amer icans were forced to retreat. The soldiers were rushing out of the fort and Sergt. Hays turned away from his gun, threw down his match and ran for his life, his wife all ready to follow. Hut seeing the live match on the ground and knowing that the gun was . loaded, she stopped long enough tc pick it up and touch off the gun before dashing away after her husband. That was the last gun which the Americans fired In Port Clinton. Hut the battle of Monmouth was Mol ly's last. A few days later, on that very field of conflict, was born her only son, John L. Hays. After the war was over Molly and her husband went back to her old home In Carlisle and lived there with their son at the United States barracks, built by the Hessians, who were taken prisonerds at the battle of Trenton. Here Molly cooked for the soldiers nud after the death of her hus band she kept a little store In the southeastern part of the town, close by the house In which Maj.

The benefits that will undoubtedly result to farmers from the recent in corporation of the International Har vester Company which took over tne business of the five leading harvester manufacturers have probably not been, considered by a large portion of the farming community. The economical necessity of a consoli dation of the interests of njnnufaetur ers and those of their farmer custo mers must be apparent to any one wbo understands the present situation. The increased and increasing cost of material, manufacturing and selling the latter in consequence of extreme and bitter competition between manu facturers and their several selling agents has made the business unprof itable. The two alternatives left for the manufacturers were either the Increas ing of the prices of machines or the reduction of the cost of manufacture and sales. The ratter could only be accomplished by concentrating the business In one company. As can readily be seen, the forming of the new company was not a stock Jobbing operation but a centering of mutual Interests. There Is no watered stock; the capitalization Is conserva tive and represented by actual and tangible assets. There is no stock of fered to the public, it having all been subscribed and paid for by the manu facturers and their associates. The management of the International Harvester Company Is in the hands of well-known, experienced men. The officers are: President, Cyrus II. McCormick; Chairman Executive Committee, Charles Peering; Chairman Finance Committee, George W. Per kins; Vice Presidents, Harold F. Mc Cormick, James Peering, Wm. H. Jones and John J. Glessner; Secretary and Treasurer, Richard P. Howe. The members of the Board of Pirectors are ns follows: Cyrus Bentley, William Peering, Charles Peering, James Peer ing, Eidridge M. Fowler, E. H. Gary, John J. Glessner, Richard P. Howe, Abrarn M. Hyatt, William H. Jones, Cyrus H. McCormick, Harold F. Mc Cormick, George W. Terkins, Norman B. Ream, Leslie N. Ward, Paul P. Cra vath. The International Harvester Com pany owns five of the largest harvester plants in existence. The Champion, 1 leering. McCormick, Milwaukee nnd Piano p'ants that have been produc ing nearly or quite DO per cent of the harvesting machines of the world. It also owns timber and coal lauds, blast furnaces and a steel plant; it has a new factory in the process of con struction in Canada. It is believed that the cost of pro ducing grain, grass and corn harvest ing machines will be so reduced that the present low prices can be contin ued, nnd that consequently the results cannot be otherwise than beneficial to the farmer. To maintain the present prices of these machines means to con tinue and increase the development of the agriculture of the world, for no one cause has contributed or can contribute more to this development than the cheapness of machines for harvesting grains.
