BIG TREE YIELDED TO AGE Chertnut In Which Waihington Is Said to Have Hidden Collapse at Vonksrs, Ntw York. Mnybe there's no truth In the tra dition that Goorse Washington once hlil In the hnlluw trunk of the great chestnut tree that until recently stood In the front yard of Charles F. Coy, Yiinkcrs. New York. Itut folk tl ere- about believe he did. Just as they be lieve that the tree wu Tt or Sim years old when It died a few years ago, and was the oldest and bliifcxt trie of any variety not only In West i hcsier county but In New York state. The trunk, which was about X feci lull and ubnut 35 feet In circutnfer ence, aci-nr-llng to Sir. Coy. was cut down by the department of public works of Yonkers, and Its dUuicm- d ! bored remains carted away. Said Mr. 4 coy : A j "Hefore It died that tree produi-ed m (lie niKKCKi auu hm tvicsi -iusiiue A ,. f - . ...... j ...... iii,-iiuin t ri-r ran. Am i iir iifmo a vine that covered It made It stilt an object of beauty, Ju-.t as Its vast elre and age made It an object of ad miration. "Tile top was broken off about the time It diet!. I nevor knew Its exact height. Hut I do know that a deal of tradition had grown up around It and that It commonly was rated the largest tree In this part of the country. 1 am sure It was the bigeht In this county." THE SIOUE THAT IS MAKING I'ltlCKS IVKIl TO DESTROY INSECT PESTS BITTER WORDS IN CAMPAIGN Speaker In Presidential Fight of 1840 Attacked Van Burtn Savagely for Alleged Extravagance. The presidential campaign of 1840 was bitterly fought by both the Har rison and Van Buren factions, anil with the cry of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" sounding throughout the land. mass meetings were held everywhere, at which speakers attacked Van Bu ren for his alleged extrnvognnt re furnishing of the White House. A stnte senator at a meeting held under a great elm tree at Crawford' vllle, Ind., said the president ate from golden spoons, while most Americans still used horn or wood Implements. He also charged the president with purchasing many young mulberry trees for the White House grounds, saying these evidently were Intended to fur nish silk table linen to match the gold-enspoons. John Parsons; a twenty-twovyenr- old Virginian who toured the country for pleasure at the time, wrote nliont It and cited that the stnte senator ended his speech hy saying : "Itut let me say, gentlemen, that there Is an other tree which would have been more appropriate to adorn the lawn and gardens of the executive mansion that tree Is the ulmus lubrlcn; ren dered Into English, the slippery elm!" ROOM THAT IS NOISELESS Remarkable Chamber Conatructed for Research Work at the Famoua University of Utrecht. It Is said that the physiological In stitute of the University of Ltrecnt possesses what Is probably the most re markable room In the world, a cham ber about seven and one-half feet square, which Is claimed to be abso lutely noiseless, as far OS the entrance of sounds from outside Is concerned. It la on the top story of a laboratory building and Is an Inside room, but Is so arranged that It can be ventilated and Inundated with sunshine. The walls, floor, and celling each consist of half a dozen layers of diirereni .atones u-tili nir traces fl1"! in,,. Slices UIICU Willi Bvuiiu-uraut-liiiiji lllll- terlals. Some persons when In the room ex perience a peculiar sensation In the ears. White every effort has been made to exclude sounds that are not wanted, of courst the object of constructing this singular room was to experiment with phennmenn connected with sound. Some of the sounds employed are tunde In the room Itself: others are Intro duced from outside by means of a copper tube, which Is plugged with lead when not in use. An Eye Camera. The smallest camera In the world which has actually "taken" pictures is doubtless the eye of the frog. It has been found that If a frog Is kept In the dark for some time the retina of the eye on being dissected Is found to have a purple reddish color which fades away or becomes bleached on exposure to daylight. If the eye be placed In front of a window and left there or "exposed" for some time, and then fixed lu a 4 per cent solution of alum the optogram Is partially tlxed anil retains an Inverted picture of the window Willi Its cross bnrs as pictured on the retlnn. It Is claimed that hy a similar photographic nrrovss the lust picture or linage retained by the eye of a dead man or animal may be pre served. Hoys' Life. Two Form of Insecticides Necessary for Successful Protection of Plant and Foiiag. Do not waste your time spraying pnrls green on Insects that suck the juices from plants and foiinge, such as lice, green, blnck nnd white aphis or fly. mealy hug. red spider Bad scale, hy thrusting their proboscis Into the bnf or stem, fur they are not affect ed by stomach iiolsons. They must lie destroyed by contact Insecticides, Those in powder form kill by clos ing the breathitig pores In the insect's skin, or In fluid form by being ab sorbed through these pores, the Amer ican Forestry Magazine points out. The best contact Insecticides In pow der form are hellebore, slug shot and tol -o dust. The best In fluid form :ire nphine, black leaf 411, Bsh (whale) oil soup, nicotine (tobacco extract), kerosene, mlsclble oil and lemon oil. Insects that eat plants, foliage, vege tables, fruits, flowers, etc.. whether bugs, beetles, worms, caterpillars or slugs are more quickly and effectu ally destroyed with a poisonous sto machic Insecticide such as arsenate of lead, parls green or .hellebore. These, If applied according to directions, nre so diluted as to be harmless In vege tation anil to animal life. Less poi sonous stomachic and contact Insecti cides are kerosene emulsion, slug shot, etc. On the Russian Frontier, At the very moment when the trav eler at the frontier takes the Hilsslun railway train, there are three things which meet him like messages from a strange world: The language, which, with Its rich and soft melody, has not tbA lensf resemblance to any of the western Kuropean longues bet. of which some of the are new to us and others time a differ ent meaning than In ours (as. for In stance, I! is used for N) ; and finally a computation of time, which tears you away from your customary almanac by rolling the time hack for - days, and thereby burns Hie' bridge of the chm nation of western nnd southern l-himpe.

In the claims we make for the Fordson Tractor as being the superior farm Tractor, there is nothing of boasting. Our claims are based upon demonstrated, facts. In every sensible test that has been made (and we donl believe in any jockeying or technical tests) but in the real common sense work on the farm the work the Tractor was in tended to accomplish we say, in all such tests the Fordson has stood head and shoulders above all competing Tractors. And this is best proven in the fact that while there are about three hundred thousand farm Tractors in use in the I'niteH States today, niu while Tractors have been sold to farmers for twenty years, and while the Fordson Tractor has only been on the market two years, more than one-third of all the Tractors in use in the I'nited States are Fordson Tractors. 'Zl-iZ;.: ""; ' -."'.-.' Now you can't upset a fact. You can't back away from an established truth, and there it is out of three hundred thousand Tractors, one hundred thousand are Ford sonS, and there are probably some fifty different makes of Tractors on the market. Just let your common sense consider these facts. "Figs are not plucked from thistle bushes, nor plums from thorn trees." The Fordson Tractor has the necessary power. It is economical in operation. It is flexible in control and operation. It is simple in design, and it is sturdily built of the best iron and steel. It is the product of the genius of Henry Ford, and it wasn't placed on the market until Henry Ford had tested it, and tested it, and tested it, before he asked the farmers to buy it. It is no idle faith that in the Fordson Tractor Henry Ford has given to mankind one of the greatest benefits which has ever come to civilized man. Now we solicit every farmer to buy one or more Fordsons. Come in anil see th'in. Come in and let us tell you more than we can in an advertisement. Let us demonstrate to The Tractor is just as neces.-.ary for the farmer as water is iu the house. Come in! Look er the Fordson. Test it. Don't take any chances. Don't experi ment. Supply your farm with the Tractor of established value. you. I-el us put it to every test that you a.sk.
