tor has proved. Most of the tractors
are of the wheel drive type. onl.
'one of them, the Cletrac. using the.
caterpillar tread. ■
F.ach demonstrator has been;
.allotted about two acres and at
i promptly ten o'clock. >to the ac- j
c ompaniment of much noise and
dust, the tractors got away to .heir
tirst row of plowing. Each "actor
wis to plow for an hour and afte. ,
that could use the time as they |
! saw fit. The only other rule to be
! observed was that which said that i
I each exhibitor was to plow to a ,
; depth of seven inches and no more. |
At noon all active plowing was ,
i stopped for an hour or so and tjlere
were talks on lubrication, tractor j
1 management, and the like. Prot. .
i It. U. Blasingham and Prof. C. L. J
1 Goodling. of the State College
School of Agriculture, made ail- ,
dresses to the farmers on various i
I subjects. Representatives from the ]
(larger gas and oil corporations are j
,on the grounds. The majority of tl.e i
' tractors are run by kerosene and
j are e -onomical in consumption.
| The particular virtue of the trae
jtor is that of labor-saving; when |
it is practically impossible to hire j
men to take care of your farming t
j with horse methods, one man can |
' do the work of three or four and in I
(less than half the time. For ex
ample. it is said by representatives j
of the Dauphin Com" y Farm Bu- .
reau that where ! i will take one man
a full eight-hour day to plow three ,

( plow, the tractor will speed this up j

French War Veteran
Who at 14 Has Decided
to Become An American
| Michel Bourdain Is a veteran of the
. United States Army at 14. He was
living with his parents in France
• when American troops were billeted
on their farm. He picked up English
' quickly, soon became an interpreter
and was attached to the Fifty-fourth
j Field Artillery. Of the 250 francs a
month he was paid he kept five and
gave the remainder to his parents.
One of his many friends in the Fifty
. fourth was E. H. Murphy, who in the
■ Army was a sergeant and in civil life
5 a New York business man. Murphy
formally adopted hint and brought
him to the United States. He sees
that "Mike" writes regularly to his
t parents,
to at least eight acres, more thor
oughly and more economically.

Youngest Competitors in Blonde Beauty Show
Mere tire t o of the youngest competitors in the blonde beauty eon- !
j test, held annually at Venice, the California beach resort. They didn't win !
the prize from the other 9S competitors, but that didn't worry them a bit
[ —as the photograph will show. They were handicapped because the older
contestants resorted to cosmetics and wore the latest up-to-date bathing
suits. They agree with their/mother that the referee robbed them of ,
; the decision.
Eventually the greater part of Pen
brook can put its sewage into this
drain. The money spent on this op
eration will certainly add greatly to j
tho health and advantage of the i lty.
"A storm water sewer should be
built in Shamokin street for tho pur
pose of taking the rainfall of that
part a'f the city north of Wiconosco
street, oast of the river, over to the
Pennsylvania . Railroad. Without
this, very little improvement can be
made in this section so close to the
city proper, and so conveniently slt-
| uated. This sow- .- would Jo away
! with the swamps that have caused so
| ranch annoyance ir. the n- igliborino.-d
jof Utiid street above and below Di
vision street, it would rive the prop
j erty owners an opportunity to put
| their lands to grade, and make most
desirable building locations. The
: construction of sanitary sowers, in
connection with this storm water
main, would furnish drainage to that
1 part of the city oast of Fifth street
and north to the city line. The build
ings now erected upen a part of this
I land have pits, - which evil should bo
I discontinued."

In which Air. Wickersham appeared j
as Prosecuting Attorney, were thoso i
I against Nlcholo Kotur and William I
| Evans, colored, the last one pend
■ lug now on an appeal before tho
i Board of Pardons.
in the Kotur case tho defendant
i was charged with murdering a fel- !
low countryman in a light in South j
< Third street, Steelton. He was oon
vlcted of murder in the first degree
at his first trial, but his counsel so
cured unother trial, but Air. Wick
crsluini ugain secured a first de
gree verdict and Kotur paid tho 1
death penalty.
In tho Evans case, his attorneys,
attempted to set up the defense used
by Air. Wickersham and Air. Car- |
ter years before In the Zorlovie case. \
Evans was charged with stabbing j
Kufus Gtllam, also colored, but his
counsel argued to two juries that
Evans was too Intoxicated to know [
what he was doing. Both times he '
was convicted of first degree mur- ;
! dor, and tho case was sent to the |
I Governor who fined tho date for the I
i electrieution. Counsel for Evans ■
I then secured a postponement and '
have placed the case on ihe list of
j appeals to the Board of Pardons. It
j will bo argued in September.
In addition to his legal duties Mr.
I Wickersham is an active member of
the ltoyal Arcanum. From 1913 to!
] 1915 ho was Supreme Regent of the
order, and he has always been closely

' ent he is chairman of a committee 1
' to arrange for a session of the Grand
Council of Pennsylvania. Royal Ar

' history of tho State Council that it
!is to ftieot in Harrisburg. Mrs.
j Wickersham is chairman of the com
j mittee arranging for tlie sessions

Mr. Wickersham said he will con- '
i tinue practicing" law with his asso- ;
i ciate, Maurice W. Mctzger, who has
been a member of the firm for more
than six years, and has been asso- j
i elated with Mr. Wickersham for j
I more than eight years.
"I want to got around to the other i
