              a distance of three and one-half miles on a ten per cent grade to W. R. Craig's. We got there by seven o'clock.
"It may be noticed in the photograph that the rear axle was turned upside down which made the load pull a great deal harder. Although I was not intoxicated at the time, this oversight made it look suspicious to my friends that I myself was somewhat loaded."

SAWING WOOD
In Bedford County, Pa., an I H C 12-H. P. gasoline engine has done its share in saving the back strain that was once incident upon wood sawing. Its owner, J. H. Latshaw, is a business man from the ground up. He keeps close tab on his engine and knows just how much gasoline it consumes, and how much wood it saws. In that way he is able to tell just where he stands on the profit propo¬ sition.
His experiments and records show that an I H C engine running a 48-inch saw will cut 1,984 feet of lumber in four hours — all white oak. The engine will consume a gallon of gaso¬ line an hour. The sale of slabs will pay for both oil and fuel. There is no ex¬ pense for an engineer.
These   experiments   demonstrated to Mr.   Latshaw that the IHC engine is a paying proposition.

A NORTH CAROLINA TITAN By W. D. Patterson, Charlotte, North Carolina
J. C. Charles, Southern gentleman, progressive citi¬ zen, owner of a 10-20 Titan, resident of Mocksville, North Carolina, accomplishes wonders with his tractor. Mr. Charles in the following letter describes one of his achievements which he accomplished by assistance of oil motive power:
"The accompanying picture is hardly a fair represen¬ tation of the job of work, as it was taken after the sun was down. I am going to tell you just a little about the size and weight of the load. This is what we call a box bush. Earth was taken up with the roots which formed a ball sixteen feet across and from two to two and one-half feet thick. This made about eleven square yards of earth which was estimated to weigh in the neighborhood of 30,000 pounds.
"With the assistance of the IHC tractor it did not take very long to do this piece of work. I left my home after nine o'clock, drove seven miles, worked at secur¬ ing the load until the sun was down, and then pulled it
WALTER JOHNSON
Near Humboldt, Kansas, was born Walter Johnson, acknowledged to be the world's greatest baseball pitcher. He moved when fourteen years old with his parents to California and there lived until he pitched himself into fame in the baseball world.
His first real professional game of ball was pitched with the Washington Americans with whom he is now playing, having been signed by Clark Griffith for one year. He has just turned down an offer of $40,000 made him by Joe Tinker, of the Chicago Feds.
Johnson now has a farm near Coffeyville, Kansas, where he spends his winters and gets much recreation
and pleasure in planning improvements for his ranch.
No grain is sold from the Johnson farm. It is all fed to the flocks of white Orphington chickens, and the droves of Berkshire hogs and Holstein cattle. It is from the poultry, live stock and dairy that the profits are made.
Recently the Caudry Hardware Company, IHC agents at Cofl^ey- ville, sold Walter Johnson an I H C manure spreader and a Bluebell cream sep¬ arator. The orders were signed by Ruth Johnson, who has been in the office of the Caudry Hardware Company for several years, and is known in that part of the country as one of the most ardent promoters of the IHC cause.
