The Harvester World: Volume 9, number 1, January 1918

              Night  Watch  Practice   at   Deering  Came in Handy
Extract from letter of PT. Tom Callaghan, B Co., 48th Highlanders, 1st C. O. R. Exhibition Grounds, Toronto, Ont., Can.

As you ask for permission to have my letters printed in The Harvester World, I am only too glad to grant that request and to do all I can for that little paper, as I was a constant reader of it, and when I cross to the other side I will do my best and send you all the news I can for it. We are leaving here on Saturday at two o'clock for England, and then I hope to do my share with the gallant 48th Regiment, to which I am more ' than proud to belong, as they are as fine a lot of lads as ever I met, and nine out of ten come from across the border and are married men. I have :ny little American flag in my cap and I intend to wear it there through thick and thin, as when this shooting contest is over and I come out safe, which I am not worrying much about, I will come over the border again to my Uncle Sam, whose country I love. And I am not the only one, for we British lads were always treated white.
Now, I cannot tell you where we are going to in England, but I will write you as soon as I can. We had a great concert here tonigbt. The people of the Passing Show were kind enough to come and entertain us. We certainly are having one grand time before we go across.
I am as sore and stiff as an old horse. I entered for the three-mile race they held on Saturday last and won a splendid safety razor. I got some good practice when I was over in the night watch at Deering with my firecompany under Captain Henry. I never won a race since I was a kid, but he would be a poor representative of the Harvester Company who would not take a sport¬ ing chance. I take a chance in all the sports; let me win or not, nothing beats a try and I am game.
You say you are going to send us lads Christmas boxes. Well, here is one Harvester lad who will cer¬ tainly appreciate it and I certainly thank you for tak¬ ing an interest in us, and as far as I am concerned I will never do anything to disgrace my regiment or the Company either. I will write when I get to the other side, providing a submarine does not send us to the bottom.
Did You Know They Make Fire Trucks Here in Old Akron
W. J. Hunter, International Harvester salesman, was a proud man Thursday as he watched an International combination chemical and hose wagon start off to be delivered to the Kent fire department.
"Akron people don't realize that they have a home company here that is building fire equipment to go all over the world," he said. "When Akron buys fire equipment, it goes to some other town for it. Akron's huge rubber industries have overshadowed other things, but some day people will wake up and find that there are other industries here also which are helping to build the city and which also advertise Akron all over the world."—Akron Beacon Journal.
Change Your Road Maps
"Which of these roads has the most points of inter¬ est?" "This one used t'have, but this here Bone Dry Law has closed 'em up."—Judge.
Lawyer^ How large were the hoofs?    Were they as large as my feet or my hands?
Darky— No, sah, they was jus' ordinary-sized hoofs,
sah.—Widow.
A  Titan That Works  Where Titans Are Made
When they want to move an apparently immovable object at the Milwaukee works, they call a Titan 10-20 into service. The one shown in the picture is moving a huge piece of equipment firom the switch yards to its place in the factory.
