AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
TRACTOR OWNERS
International Harvester Company of
America Will Hold Tractor Schools
Of nil the machines n farmer owns
none is more important than his
tractor. 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.

At last I The truth about Belgium is
to be told by Brand Whitlock, United
States Minister to Belgium, exclus
ively for this .territory in tho Sunday
J6urnal beginning February 17. 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.
' Besides the eight serial novels
already announced with more to cgmo,
arrangements nave just- been com
pleted for an exclusive special leased
wire and cable news service which

absolutely no expense, of any kind to

for more and more supplies 'all the

pecially do we need surgical dressings.

Last year 1,000,587,000 pounds of
tobacco were produced in the United
States, requiring the use of 1,368,400
acres. If this land had been planted
to corn and had produced twenty
bushels per aero it would have grown
27,368,000 bushels. If it had been
plentcd to wheat it would have raised
ut the rate of twelve bushels per acre,
16,420,800 bushels. At the rato of
fortyieight pounds, of flour per bushel
it would have milled 788,198,480 lbs.
From this amount there could have
been baked 1,050,930,200 16-oz. loaves
