While out with the lone demon strating weeder on the Poe & Thomp son ranch, known as the Stoops place the writer had his first experience with what seemed to him to be a Ger- , man tank, making a bee line to be gin operations by first attacking and annihilating the weeder, and then proceed over the hill and attack lone. There seems nothing Impossible, Mr. Editor, with the Kaiser; it is his de light to strike a blow where it is least expected and mutilate as many inno cent women and children as he can, and just on such days as this when people will be collected from far and near to watch the sun's eclipse. But Insead of being a German tank and a foe, it was a Holt caterpillar, and it had come to plow the field that I had Just about weeded. To a canny Scotchman, that had been almost rai.sed between the stilts of an Old Oounry plow, this was a sight long to be remembered. I have a recollection of the steam plow in the Old Country when I was a young ster, but it was operated by two trac tion engines, one at either end of the field. They eat stalonary while the plow was pulled from end to end by a cable. But most of the farmers, were very skeptical at that time about , how the ground should be plowed. j In those days it was mostly plowed by foot burners and I imagine what some of the Old Country farmers would think about a caterpillar, where they were so particular about plowing the ground 6 inches by 9 Inches and corner up, but that was the days of Auld Lang Syne. I will give the Kaiser a rent and try and pass my opinion on a cater pillar. I don't know whether It got its name from the caterpillar or not, but It surely crawls and I and the wcader took to fresh pasture just acrcs the fence. I always had my doubts if the work could please a Scotchman that had rccived his train ing behind a Scotch plow with Jock and Jean that moved like a snail on ! a gallop, but a glance from behind the cat dirpcllcd my prejudice, if ij had any, against these new fangled ! ways of plowing. Here were plows! lining it up just like a ribbon and not only cutting the ground 6 by 9 but 10 by 16 indies and making beau tiful work, turning over 2 furrows each round of the field. This may sound like a fish story to a Scotchman if he had never seen one of these work, and besides the ploughs he had 3 packers behind.

I didn't dis pute his word, for its wheat we need if we ever expect to bag the Kaiser. Taking a few notes as the cat crawls along, I got over the fence humming to myself "The Days of Auld Lang Syne," for then any coun try clod hopper could held the plow. I don t kiow how I would feel en a cat but judging from the way It kept the engineer handling levers and us ing the steering wheel I concluded that it was his business, and that 1. for one, would not exchange Jobs with him. At the noon hour I had the pleas ure of meeting the engineer. H. J Dana, a graduate of Washington State College, Pullman, Wash., a young man of very pleasing appear ance, of a quiet disposition, who frankly gave me the information that I might ask about the cat, and 1 con sider the half hour I talked with him was very interesting. His u'o'.c amir, tant and plow tender is John "las-it a Scotchman and typical "chip off the old block." John is doing good work. That afternoon this m i-hine never made a stop unless changing gears. Jntt think or it, pulling 12 plows and not a wet hair on it, when I am sure the thermometer stood a bout 100 in the shade. If by hearing people talk, and being myself jesi a little prejudiced a, a plowman of iiie old school, I frankly admit that I u:id my old Scotch plow are back num bers. The last plowing I did in Scot land was about 18S6. They may be nulling their plows there now by air planes. It wouldn't be of much interest for me to try and describe a caterpillar, i'ir it simply looks to me like a con glomeration of small pieces of steel, a mass of bnlts and burrs, sprocket wheels and sprocket chains, all being propelled by a gas engine on the sec jnd deck, with a periscope projecting from the upper deck. This periscope the operator seems to watch very close when he is starting up and how much of a radius it takes in I do not know. But how different this cater pillar looks from the old Clayton & Shuttworth portable engine I used to lun in 1879. Now Kaiser Bill has also been look ing through a periscope, after having completed one that took in the whole world about the year 1914. He grin ned and snapped his teeth like a hun gry coyote, a traitor and deceiver, a false teacher of his own countrymen. He looks through his periscope again and everything looks so near he starts ike a hungry wolf to have dinner in Paris and supper in London. In his iniagiation he has captured the Brit ish fleet and to pay off an old score .hat happened in Manila Bay, he itarU- for America. America can do nothing he imagines, and he could see through his periscope that he would catch them napping. Yes, he could avtn see the big grain fields around Ella growing up in mustard and fig ured they would be quite an asset to his exchequer. But Kaiser Bill you have aroused the shepherds of Ella since 1914. Then all he was suppos ed to know was to eat the best mut ton chops and throw the rest to his dogs; herd sheep year in and year jut and at the end of each six months turn his wages over to Mr. Busch for i a few drinks of beer and then finally lils hard earned gold landed in the Kaiser's exchequer. A herder in these days was not allowed to read while out with sheep. Today he will find things different in Ella. The shepherds are studying books ranging from a ten cent dio 'innary to the oldest history in exis tence, and so far they have not found out that might shall prevail against right. If history is true, the peoples of olden times seemed to put consid erable faith in shepherds as they were leaders of the flock. Kaiser Bill you will find us a pa triotic bunch of shepherds around Kl la. We are living on bone soup and hard taek, and if you want a square meal like we used to have you will find Ella wheat flour and Ella nifhton chops behind the Yankee Hues In France. I am sure they will give you a hot and grand reception. w 1 L.nnrrn onrl na aflatl PPm t fl I nam ub6b" k" and from the depot to any part of the city. Thone 555 or 1?3.
