OF TRACTOR SENT ABROAD By O.6. FOOD 8 ADMINISTRATION American tractors 1600 of them snt by the D. S. Food Administration, will battle huncer In France. When Hprlng cornea they will be In the field. They will help the French to grow 2,000.000 more tons of food. The idea of reinforcing the waning agricultural strenuth of France with American tractors originated with Henry Morcenthau, Jr. The Food Ad ministration has dcslcnated Henry Moreanthau. Jr.. to follow the mach ines to France and put them In opera tion. The first 100 tractors were sent to France on the deck of a naval transport and the entire number will reach there In plenty of tlmo for spring plowlnu. ... The tractora will operate mainly In the battle-scarred portion of northern France which has been re-taken from the Germans. There property lines have been largely obliterated. The fields are consequently lanto and the batteries of tractors will he able to . 1. ma ApFantl.talw ThltQ In fl f ATtF monthB food crops, especially -wheat soil that a few months atfo was Oi and potatoes, will bearnwingrlnFrcncIi "No Man's Land between the great soil ploca.Jby..Amerlcan. tractors battle line OWING TO THE, CONDITION GOVERNING THE SALE OF FLOUR, WE ARE BREAKING THE ORIGINAL SACKS OF FLOUR AND AM SELLING ANY SMALLER AMOUNT DESIRED WITH THE EQUAL AMOUNT OF SUBSTI TUTES.

This. Ik the opinion of all who saw "Pandora," last Friday night. The costuming was very pretty and aided "largely to make the production a pleasing one. Un til about a week ago Miss Irene Guulke was to have taken the lead ing part but on account of her ab sence Miss Alma Desler, a high school girl, was put In her place, but despite her handicap because of lack of time Jllss Desler learned her part so well that even the most critical . observer was unable to tell that she had not received as much training as the other players. Tie sides the solo work by the principal characters and the pretty dance by MiKS i.ois Cavincss, who was Hope, were several choruses by the wjiole company of youthful actors. In fact It would be impossible to sny enough good things about the oper etta as everything was right up to notch. Let us hope for many more like it. Practice goes on each day for the Glee Club operetta "The Nau tical Knot," and Mrs. Parker, the . director, reports that It will bo put on In two or three weeks.
