One point that at first glance would be against the. imrovised tractor is its light weight, and therefore reduced tractive power at the ground. As a matter of fact, special lugs of extra depth are used, and the machine seems to never slip. It worked well in the light Toronto soil, and Ben Rothrock, who was in charge ot the demonstration, claimed to have drawn on farms, it is easy to credit the state- ment that 13,500 of these have been sold this year through one agent in Calgary. Selling for some $350, it forms a cheap tractor for the man Who already has a "tlivver."

A thrillingly interesting man is Colonel Dennis. He is the most ver- satile individual I have ever met, It one were suddenly to inquire in Ot- tawa, "Who is Dennis?" one might get back the typically British aw swer. "Who is he not?" Deals by mail and an advertising and newspaper campaign with no limits determined. For years he was assistant to the president of the Canadian Paditie Railway, Lord Shanghnessy. He has fought Indians, is a veteran with honors ot the South African expedi- tion, has engineered road building where Indians 'had to be killed as re- gularly as ties had to be laid in the Progress; but he is more-he is a dilettante Journalist, a devotee ot art, a snappy after dinner talker, an occasional enthusiastic Broadwayite, Colonel Dennis says that there are 157,000 Canadians in Chicago.

On to this clip the front ot the attach., ment blips. Two metal beams run back in a V-shape, meeting the rear axle housing at each side just inside the springs. It is firmly bolted to the housing at either side, and carries a second axle immediately behind the rear wheel. This framework is then jacked up, the regular wheels remov- ed, and a small pinion screwed on in their place, and large wheels geared to engage this pinion are slipped on the hindmost axle. When this is done, the rear axle drives the large traction wheels by means of, a, gearing on the inside of the wheel, at a ratio of 11 to I-tor for every eleven, revolutions of the rear' axle, the tractor wheels make one complete turn. To put it another way, when the tractor is working about 2 % miles per hour, the engine is travelling at a speed sufficient to send the car on its own wheels 23 miles per hour. The plow used last week was one of the new Cockshutt. 2-furrow auto- matics, which lower or raise at the jerk of a rope. With such a plow as this, costing somewhere around $130, the machine becomes as truly a one- man outfit as the well-known Case or I.H.C., machines, with the only differ- ence that the operator Iolls in a cushion seat, and the car still rides on its springs-we shall not say too much about the springs, they are well known. These stay on the car all the time, and lengthen the life of the engine-- being improvements that will pay for themselves even on pleasure cars of this make. Owners of Ford cars would think, as the writer thought, that the cooling and oiling systems ot the Ford would be insufficient tor the heavy work of a tractor--and for once we'd all be right: They aren't!

The several stat- es collected in registration and license fees, including those of chauffeurs and operators, a revenue of $25,865,- 369.75. Of this amount $23,910,811 was applied directly to construction, improvement and maintenance ot the public roads. Recent years have shown an increasing tendency to put the spending of the motor car revenues directly in the hands of the state high- way departments. In 1916 there were only " states that did not exercise any direct control over the expending of the net automobile revenues. 8.88 a.m. daily except Sunday. 9.45 a.m. daily. 5.58 p.111. daily.

After speaking , I very highly of the reception given her V by the allies, she said that aristocrat- , in England is in the war to the hilt, 5 but there is no turning back. They do i not count the cost. At one of the 1 beautiful ancestral homes where she 5 had been staying two of the sons and I heirs to the estate filled soldiers' ' graves, a daughter was a nurse at the front exposed to peril and hardship. But the father and mother did not ' complain, rather they tried to help out ‘ by throwing open the doors of their beautiful home as a resting place for nurses when they were off duty. Dur- ing the Dardanelles campaign she was stationed at Malta. The New Zealand boys were good fighters and brave boys, always ready for a joke, though lying on a bed of pain or maimed for life. One patient she had nursed had red hair and gray eyes. Having lost a limb and one eye he remarked, "Say, sister, when I get a glass eye don't you think I can improve in the color. Red hair does not go very well with light gray." After a year's work there she came back to England for a rest, but felt I would be a shirker to quit so after a brief rest. I signed another year to serve somewhere in France. Here We found the work very heavy. At one time we had 1700 patients and only facilities for handling 50'0. Some- times we did not even have water to make tea. Very often the cots con- taining the wounded were so close to- gether that I had to crawl over one patient to attend to another, but through it all the boys were cheery and would smile and say that it is bet- ter than up the line. The mud was' awful. One young fellow told me he! had seen his brother drown and could do nothing to save him. He was res- I cued after standing sixteen hours in the mud. Christmas ot 19161 will al- ways be a memorable day in the his- tory of Miss Adams. With seventy- six patients in her charge she directed l her energies to giving them a treat. She and other co-workers made fruit jellies and sandwiches, this with cake supplied by the baker of the town formed the menu for supper. The en- tertainment consisted of a fish pond for the up patients and grab bags fill- ed with socks and souvenirs for those in bed. The supreme success ot the. evening was an Aunt Sally made up to represent the Kaiser, with a face composed of a squeaker from an old doll. The boys shot at this and prizes were given to those who made the Kaiser squeak. In France the work and endurance of the women is won- derful. Coffee stands are kept open early and late in any place where the soldiers might chance to pass by. War confronts you everywhere-a. land of beauty has become a place of desola- tion, beautiful homes andt, well kept lawns are a mass of tumbled brick and mortar. Stately forests are rack- ed and swept with shell holes till not even space is left for a blade of grass to grow. England has given of her sons, her colonies have rallied round her and everywhere you go the state- ly homes are thrown open for the con- venience of her soldiers and those as- sisting in their care. As for the boys themselves, their courage, bravery and self sacrifice is inspiring. 7.20 am. flag, daily except Sunday 9.10 a.m. daily. 1.16 p.m. daily except Sundly. 4.45 p.m. daily except Sunday. 7.05 p.m. daily except Sunday. 11.59 p.m. daily.
