Especially is this true this year. Tractors must be in condition to work day and night if necessary to make possible the increased produc tion of food we need. There mutt bo no delays due to unsatisfactory oper ation, no loss from misunderstandings. To this end the International Har vester Company of America proposes to hold tractor schools in various parts of the country In order that their users may get the best possible ser vice out of their tractors. Under the auspices of James Peter son one ;6f these schools will' be held nt the frames Peterson's k'tdro, Red Cloud, Nebraska, on Thursday and Friday, February 2lBt and 22nd, 1918. The sessions will open promptly at 9 a. m. This school will bo absolutely free to all those who care to attend whether they arc tractor owners or not. Nothing will be offered for sale at these schools and there will be no soiling talks. A course of instruction in how a tractor works and how to keep it working will bb strictly ad hered to. Don't forget tho date. Plan now to present at every session of the school, for the men who do this will get the greatest benefit.

This is tho first complete, authorativo, official, rccoul of ihat devastated country whose martyrdom has called the civilized world to arms. It is a magnificent epic of the su-' premc tragedy of Belgiumthe' burn ing and blasting, the rapine and de solation, and the crowing brutality, the murder of Edith Cavcll. As if destined to preserve the story of Bel gium's sacrifice, Mr. Whitlock was ap pointed minister to Belgium by the president in December 1913 eight months before tho German invasion. In his official capacity as -minister, as director of America relief workl and as a trained observer of facts, he has had the bitter tragedy burned into his very soul. Now after three ?ong years of silence comes his story, written from a journal kept faith fully day by day. Until tho war is ended and the history of America's part in it is written there will bo no bigger newspaper feature than this, which starts thru a fortunate arrange ment with Mr. Whitlock, in The Sun day Journal February 17. The Journal has like-wise arranged for many other big things for tho year 1918.

If this land had been planted to corn and had produced twenty bushels per aero it would have grown 27,368,000 bushels.
