As the Christmas season draws
near we should at least try to get
into .pur hearts the Christmas spir
it for the sake of some one who ex
pects us to be cheerful; we know
not who, but a smile or a hearty
handshake may mean much to
some one. Because we have not
much money to put into gifts we
rhould remember there are valu
able gifts that cost nothing. A
word of praise or appreciation may
be a great gift to some soul who has
labored patiently but feels a little
lonely when they failed to get a
few words of appreciation. Think
of the patient mother, the faithful
school teacher, the superintendent
/of the Sunday school, who has said
he ‘felt proud of the school record.
Think of the family physician who
may be sick, that has labored in all
kinds cf v/cr.ther and patiently
waited for the pay. of the shut-ins
who cannot get out and enjoy the
eight of the lovely holly trees with
red terries, the stately evergreens
along the highways. There may
be a lonely traveler who can warm
by a neighborly fire safe from rain
and cold. The greatest gifts are
those that cost little. Love for our
fellow men is a great gift. When
we feel gloomy, the sun hides its
face and the rain patters down, the
roads get bad; think of the many
days passed when we longed for the
rain to come. Don’t forget to re
member and thank the Giver of all
perfect gifts, who sends the sun
shine and the shadows, looks earth-

MY TRIP TO THE CATERPILLAR
TRACTORS FARM MACH
INERY SHOW.
(By Harold Bussey.)
Monday, December seventh, we,
the agriculture class of Washing
ton, went to the Caterpillar Trac
tors farm machinery show given at
Lombard’s establishment in Au
gusta.
The first picture and lecture was
on terracing: We learned that
five times as much plant food was
lost by erosion as was taken up by
plants. We saw a terracing ma
chine that was built similar to a
\ /
road machine but it had only two
wheels, the front end resting on the\
tractor. The blade was curved and
would turn soil like the moldboard
of a plow
The Caterpillar people see that
only the best steel goes into their
tractors by testing them severely.
We saw some of these tests and it
takes a good piece of steel to stand
them.
The Caterpillar holds the non
stop record of four hundred and
eighty hours (480) continuously
pulling a disc harrow.
We then saw a very interesting
picture of the Caterpillar building
up the levee. A great number of
tractors were employed in hauling
dirt. These tractors went up
steep banks, in deep holes, through
deep mud and loose dirt but ^iever
checked their speed. :
We then had sandwiches ancL
milk supplied by Lombard Iron
Works.
• After lunch we saw a Caterpillar
track compared with a rail road.
The Caterpillar runs on a track
but lays its track before it and
takes it up behind it. The Cater
pillar has less than five pounds of
pressure to the Square inch on its
track which is less than the pres
sure under a man’s foot. This
enables it to go in soft, loose dirt
and boggy ground. • • '
We then saw a good demonstra
tion of a 'combine. We matched
the grain as it entered the com
bine and saw it go to the thresher
and on to the cleaners.
Next we saw how the Caterpillar
could be used the year round pre
paring seed beds, cultivating crops,
harvesting, hauling, furnishing-
belt power, and doing other jobs.
We then returned home, and I
know we all were benefetted by the>
demonstrations.
