That gives it two bi/ advantages over other tractors. Mogul 8-16 burns any oil that can be burned in an engine. Since you can always get naphtha, benzine, motor spirits, kerosene,, or some of the low-grade distillates,.you are sure of a plentiful supply of fuel at all tunes, I hat’s one advantage. The ®d* fcr ’ s that kerosene and the other oils cost less and, in all probability, always w.ll cost less than gasoline. You know the difference in price now, and you can easily figure the saving in burniug lowgrade oil. 1 hat’s another advantage. Kerosene is not explosive. Gasoline is. Gasoline requires a separate tank. If you buy a Mogul 8-16, your one kerosene tank will be all you need. . We have a sample Mogul 8-16 right here in the store. Come in and nave a look at it. We believe when you have seen it, and know all it wilt do for you, that you will want one for your spring work, esiiecially when you realize that it costs you only $675 cash, F. O. B. Chicago.

ON HIGHEST BERKSHIRE PEAK Memorial to Lindon Bates Planned by Father. New A ork, Feb. 18.——In memory of his son, Lindon Bates, who was lost in the Lusitania disaster, Lindon Wallace Bates of this city is arranging to erect on Mt. Lebanon. the highest point in the Berkshires. a remarkable monument which will serve to remind future generations of the brilliant career of this young man and of the bravery with which he died. . . American in origin and design, this monument will rise more than 175 feet above the summit of the mountain. The top of the shaft will be provided with electric searchlight reflectors which will throw a great beam of light in a vertical direction and beams of equal power to the east and west, thereby forming a cruciform effect tjt night. This cross, shining in the darkness, will be seen in five states—New York, Massachusetts. Connecticut, \ ermont and New Hampshire.

For a design which Mr. Bates thought would have pleased his son. he went back 1,500 years into the history of the new world and selected something which is believed by archaeologists to have been created in the Maya period, the earliest period of known civilization in North America. The Maya period is pre—Aztec and pre-Toltec, and the people of this remote time are supposed to have reached the highest stage of their civilization in the Hate of Oaxaca, in southern Mexico. The base of this monument is modeled after a Maya temple, which is supposed to have temple of the Winged Serpent. The. ruins of this temple were discovered in Oaxaca several years ago, and. ip a restored condition, there is a model of this edifice in one of the museums in Washington. Lindon Bates, jr., was interested in the ancient civilization of North America. His father, on a trip to Washington, several months ago, happened to see this model of the temple and decided that his son would have liked that style of architecture. He. therefore, has u sed that design for plans for the base of the monument. The lights, which are to furnish the cruciform effect, are to be supplied with electricity from power obtained from a never-failing spring which emerges near the top of the mountain. At the power station the water hag a head of 400 feet. Inscriptions for the monument already have been selected. The north side will show a copy from a tablet

in Berzelius hall. New Haven, as follows: In Memory LINDON WALLACE BATES, JR., 1902-S. Born July Seventeen, 1883, Lost on the Lusitania, May Seven, 1915. His achievements In science, literature, philanthropy and public service were fitly crowned by his surrender to another of his opportunity for safety. “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” The south side of the monument will contain an inscription giving a short history of the sinking of the Lusitania and the circumstances surrounding the death of Lindon Bates, jr. , The inscription on the north side will be called “Roxwell’s Daily Prayer.’’ Roxwell was the pseudonym by which Lindon Bates, jr., was known to his family and friends. The prayer is: “May I faithfully guard the trust of my brother’s soul. Make me unselfish, charitable, righteous, and fit me for a work of highest service to juankind.’’ The inscription on the west side will denote the mission on which Lindon Bates, jr., was engaged at the time of his death. It will say simply: COMMISSION FOR RELIEF IN BELGIUM. There is a significance attached to the erection of such a monument on this spot.- Mt. Lebanon has been part of the Bates estate for many years. Nearby stood the Bates country home, in Columbia county, New York, where young Lindon spent much of his boyhood.

Would-Be Suicides. Positively a last appeal to patriotism was that which the Belgian burso pathetically made to intending suicides when he asked them not to shoot, but to drown or hang themselves, since the town was fined SSO by the Germans because a Belgian shot himself. The Belgians are forbidden to possess firearms, hence the a peal to shuffle off the mortal coil 'in a less entangling way. —Baltimore American. Now Feels Entirely Well. A. H. Francis, Zenith, Kas., writes: “I had a severe pain in my back and could hardly move. I took about two-thirds of a 50c box of Foley Kidney Pills and now feel entirely well.” Middle-aged and older men and women find these safe pills relieve sleep disturbing bladder ailments.
