C. S. Dauncey, I H C blockman, and A. Stewart, I H C dealer, are the artists who planned, equipped, built up, designed and made famous the float depicted in the accompanying picture.   This float was used in a

paradeatOak Lake during the sports day at that town when the local business men took part in an industrial parade. On this float, if you look closely, you can see scuffler, a harrow cart, I H C twine, a Bluebell cream separator belted to a Tom Thumb engine, a mower and a pump jack. You cannot quite see the mower, but it was a part of the prize-winning elements just the same. After the parade, which, by>the way, was of considerable duration, as the business men of this town were kept rivals for honorable mention for their outfits, the first prize was awarded to the artistic attempt' of Mr. Dauncey and Mr. Stewart. .-' - '
THE FLOOD BELT IN KANSAS
By C. A. Morrison, General Agent. Salina, Kan.
Down here in Kansas we make our own floods. Here
is a picture of  a little eight-horse power I H C engine
working a number four pump for all it is worth, to the
intent of making it "cough up," as the poets say, 500
Five Hundred Gallons per Minute at the Plant of John Osman at Bogue, Kan.
cubic feet of water per minute.   T-his is the irrigation plant of John Osman, of Bogue, Kansas.
The particular crowd in the background (very par¬ ticular, indeed, if they come from Kansas) is urging Mr. Arnold to give a public demonstration of how the International engines have done away with the sprinkling can. A great deal of Kansas has all the water it needs, but a part of it needs more than it has, and it is to this part that the I H C irrigation outfits are especially adapted.    The idea of every man being his
own irrigator is taking a lively hold down in this terri¬ tory, and the I H C outfits promise to be as popular here as they are in that principality governed by the Honorable Hugh Donly, at Oklahoma City.
A FAIR ENGINEER A Letter from Miss Rosalea Hollingsworth, Jarbalo, Kans.
I want to say a few things in regard to the engine I operated last fall for my brother, Albert Hollingsworth. He purchased it of Sam Homer, Jarbalo, Kansas. The engine is an 8-horse power mounted on a wagon.
It was hard for my brother to get help in sor¬ ghum making, so I sug¬ gested that I try to run the engine and feed the mill. Of course, he laugh¬ ed at me for trying the work, but finally gave in. At first I had some trouble in getting the engine started, but after three or four days I got along just fine. With a cane mill we have to stop and start the engine from ten to twelve times a day. I worked right along, and each day liked the work better.
I think it just grand to        '^''^ ^°^^" Hollingsworth run machinery, and I  expect to help my brother in sorghum making next year.    He says I make a good engineer.    I am not of age yet, but I weigh 120 pounds.
Any further information you wish to know about the engine I will be glad to give you. After running an 8-horse power, I have decided to get about a 2-horse power for running the washing machine. I wish you would please send me your price list of gasoline engines.
