Auto Beats Two Good Men Out of Jobs in Hayfield.

Indianapbils Star. Morocco, Ind., July 19. —William Hoover, a Jasper county farmer, has an old automobile of the vintage of 1909, which, for the last week, has been steadily keeping two men from j6bs in the hayfield. A rope from a hay derrick is tied to the front axle of the car and when the men on the rtaqk give the signal Hoover shoves the gear into reverse and goes back old “Whitey” and upward goes the hay. A dozen trips ba ck and forth wears a track in the ground and from them on the car guides itself, leaving Hoover little to do but Shift the gears from time to time and relight his pipe.
