Let us for. a moment refer to tho cose of the (laughter of the late N. W. Spalding, former U. 8. Bub-Treasurer of San Fran cisco. After her father "had spent ten thou sand dollars" In efforts to cure her and the dropsy came and the end looked near she was put on Fulton's Renal Compound. To use the words, of the physician, let us ay that she was "temporarily benefit ed." Wo must now stretch "temporary" to twenty years, for it was twenty years ago, and she was living and attending to her household duties at lost advices, n January. 1912. The case of a well known editor of San Francisco, whoso address we will give to anyone who cares to write, was declared to be hopeloss. He has been editing his paper for twelve years since his "tem porary Improvement." He believes he Is bell and certainly looks like it In view of case after case like the above if you have 3righf s Disease you owe it to yourself and family to try Ful ton's Renal Compound before giving up.

KIIBMONT, Neb., Sept. 9,-(Speolal.)-Kremont has Just furnished a unique spectacle. Never has such an exhibition been witnessed before In any part of tho world, in tho great farm power exhibi tion promoted by the Fremont Commer cial club and The Twentieth Century Farmer, to bo held during; the present week on the demonstration field Immedi ately adjoining the city of Fremont, there are eighteen different entries with a total of thirty-seven . engines. Never before have so many machines, of different make been entered In a slnBlo competitive exhibition. The unique spectacle referred to was tho great tractor parade which took place promptly at 1:30 yesterday afternoon The different engines formed In line, pre ceded by Stockfcldt's band and by a car containing representatives of The Twenti eth CentUry Farmer and paraded the principal unpaved streets of the city. Thf, spectacle was Impressive, Inspiring and prophetic. All who witnessed tho parade were deeply Impressed with the Idea of the titanic power that may be summoned from Nature's resources to do. man's work for him. Never was such an exhibition seen before. Streets Killed nttli Visitors. Although the demonstration does not properly begin until Tuesday, the streets are filled with visitors and these lined tho way of the parade, every eye wide with wonder. The sides of the streets taken by the parade and the comes of the cross streets were occupied by automo biles, and these, as soon as the parade had passed, would rush forward to the head of the line to rewltness the impos ing spectacle. The interest was Intenst and the surprise and wonder excited by what was seen cannot be estimated. It had been expected that considerable In terest would be aroused by the offered exhibition, but what has actually taken place far surpassed the wildest estimates of the Judges. ' The exhibition was prophetic In that It Indicates what the farm power of .the future Is to be. The farms of large ex tent will utilize tho high powered and heavy weighing engines that led tho parade, and the smaller farms will find necessary uso for the smaller tractors that pull two, three and four plow bot toms. A lover of agriculture, who de sires greater production, without ath letlo expenditure of brawn and muscle, sees in this actual demonstration before bis eyes the .realization of his fondest hopes for the future As soon as the parade was over, the engines took .their plows In tow and started for the demonstration field. Dur ing the afternoon they were engaged In getting their plows adusted and polished ready for'tho work of today. Tho actual work of the exhibition will bejrtn this afternoon promptly at 1:30 o'clock and will continue until 4:30. The space' allotcd to each tractor Is pro-rated according to the number of ' plow bottoms that each exhibitor' proposes to pull. Bomb of the exhibitors have entered only one engine, others have entered more, and 'one ex hibitor entered four engines, each of dif ferent 'type. Only one engine from each exhibit will be operated at a time. The exhibitor with four engines may take any one of the four and work with It as long as he chooses, and then this engine will retire from the field before any en gine of the same exhibitor Is brought to the exhibition plot for demonstration. Each plot assigned has a number conspic uously set up on a post and this number corresponds with the number of the en gine to which the plot has been allotted. It has been thought that this is the fair est way to arrange the field demonstra tions, so that no exhibitor would have more than one crowd of slght-seers. It four exhibitions of one exhibitor were working at once, he would have four crowds of people as witnesses, while the exhibitor with only a single engine would have' only one crowd, and for this reason, In order that the exhibition may be per fectly fair to all competitors, it has been decided that only one engine of an ex hibit shall work at a time. Will Plovr Deep. , Among the field regulations It Is re quired that no plowing shall be done less than six Inches in depth and from this it may go up to twenty-two inches deep. The public will be interested in knowing that fourteen deep-tilting ma chines will be hauled by tractors' on the demonstration field for the purpose of giving actual demonstration as to what machines of such a type will do. This exhibition has evoked a wide spread Interest. There are visitors In the crowd from the Big Horn basin In Wyoming, who come here for tho pur pose of seeing what the tractors will do, and with the Intention of buying a. ti actor before leaving again for the west. Crowds of Interested farmers will see the exhibition, not merely from Idle curiosity, but with a view of supplying thomselves In the near future with this improved means of doing farm work. Among the other machines that will b exhibited are two different types of im mense road machines which will ha pulled by tractors. Order of the Exhibit!. The demonstration this afternoon will begin at the extreme southeast corner of the demonstration field and eighty acres have been alloted for the after i noon's work.
