inal members of the Odd Fellows
lodge of Old Fort, which was insti-
tuted over fifty years ago, and was a

RESULTS OF TRACTOR DEMON-
STRATION.
Over 500 People Witnessed Tractor
Demonstration On Beaver Farm
at BeMefonte.
After being postponed twice the
tractor demonstration was held Sat-
urday on the Beaver farm at Belle-
fonte. Although the day was cold
and chilly it was estimated that at
least five hundred people witnessed
the demonstration and automobiles
lined both sides of the state road for
almost half a mile.
The demonstration consisted of sev-
en machines plowimg a field with a
slope which ran ever a limestone ridge
and in which a good many stones
were struck. It was a demonstration
that showed exactly what tractors
can do on a field where plenty of
stones are present, and also on a
grade such as the tractors had to
plow in this demomstration. It clear-
ed the minds of a good many people
as to the practicability in using trac-
tors on the limesteme soils where our
fields are not altogether level and
where stones have to be dealt with.
At the beginning: of the demonstra-
tion all the tanks were drained and
filled up from one tank so that all
would have the same quality of gaso-
line and kerosene, and then fuel con-
sumption test was run on plowing
the plot ‘of ground alloted which con-
sisted of three-fourths acre each.
The data given below consists of
name of tractor, power, number and
size of plows, amount of fuel used to
plow the three-fourths acre, and fig-
ures on the acre basis, charging gas-
oline at thirty cemts per gallon and
kerosene at fifteen cents per gallon.
1. Waterloo Boy—12-25. Three 14-inch
plows. Used 12 quarts kerosene, no
gas; acre basis, 60 cents.
3. Huber—12-24. Three ¥-inch plows.
Used 5 quarts kerosene, 1114 quarts
gasoline; acre basis, $1.38.
3. Happy Farmer—12-24, Two 14-inch
plows. Used 211% quarts kerosene, 1%
quart gas; acre basis, $1.13.
4. International—S8-16. Two 14-inch
plows. Used 12% quarts kerosene, no
gas; acre basis, 63 cents.
Case—9-18. Two 12-inch plows. Used
814 quarts keresene, 25 quarts gaso-
lene; acre basis, 68 cents.
6. Cleveland—12-20. Two 14-inch plows.
Used 11 quarts gasoline; acre basis,
$1.10.
%. Fordson—12-22. ‘Two 14-inch plows.

oline; acre basis, 80 cents.

Child Dies of Burns.
Mildred Rossman, the young daugh-
ter of Harry and Lizzie McClellan
Rossman, of Coleville, was so badly
burned at a bonfire on Wednesday
morning that she died in the Belle-
fonte hospital about twelve o'clock
the same day. While the parents
were away from home the Rossman
children built a bonfire in the garden
and Mildred, who would have been
four years old next January, got too
close to the fire with the result that her
clothing caught fire. Neighbors who
saw the child’s predicament ran to her
rescue but she was terribly burned.
She was hurried to the Belefonte hos-
pital where she lingered in terrible
agony until death relieved her suffer-
ings. In addition to the parents three
brothers and a sister survive, namely:
William, Margaret, Robert and Carl.
Burial will be made in the Union cem-
etery today.
Now if sciatica would fasten
itself upon the jaw there would be
some merit in it.
Kaiser Big Food Hoarder.
Amsterdam, Nov. 27.—“How Wil-
helm Held Out,” is the title of an ar-
ticle in the Frankfort Volks Stimme
by Wilhelm Carle, a Socialist, who
discovered the hoards of provisions
which the former Emperor had in his
Berlin palace.
“The quantity,” the writer says,
“exceeded all expectations. In large,
white-tiled rooms was everything—
literally everything—one can imag-
ine in foodstuffs. It is inconceivable
that, after four years of war such
huge quantities could be hoarded.
“There was meat and game in cold
storage, salted provisions in large
cases, white meal in sacks piled to the
roof, thousands of eggs, gigantic box-
es filled with tea, coffee, chocolate,
lard, jelly and jam; hundreds of su-
gar loaves and endless stacks of peas,
beans, dried fruits and biscuits. Their
value amounts to several hundred
thousand marks.
“These hoarded foodstuffs cannot be
better used than to be preserved as a
lasting memorial to our pesterity
which should see how, while millions
in Germany starved, those ‘elected by
the grace of God’ held out.”
