Fulmer's Jewelry Store How a Hat Is Sized. 0. writes that the size of a bat Is calculated on a curious principle. It Is the length plus tbe breadth divided by 2. Thus a head 8% inches long and 5% Inches broad would require a bat size of 14% divided by 2, which is 7% —Gladstone's size. Your correspondent O. is perfectly right In bis description of tbe curious way In which the size of a bat is ob tained, writes Q., but bis sample di mensions are slightly misleading. Such an "oval" as 8% inches by 5% inches would scarcely be met with twice in a lifetime. The normal difference be tween the length and width (technical ly called the "oval") is invariably through the gamut of sizes 1% inches. Thus an ordinary 6% hat would meas ure 7% Inches long and 6 inches wide and a 7% (four sizes bigger) 8 inches long and 6% Inches, wide. The longest head I have measured in many thou sands was 8% by 7%, which is the equivalent of a 2% Inch oval. Needless to say, the Inside of the hat was the shape of a canalboat Manchester Guardian.

Dak. DIRECTORS: Model 34, Price $2,250. Would You Like to See a Hart-Parr Engine Working Side by Side With a Steam Plowing Engine We are ready and willing to enter a contest with any steam engine built, and if tho HART-PARR does not do better work, do it easier, and do it at less expense than any steam outfit can do it, acre for acre, we will forfeit $50.00. We would like nothing better than to have the opportunity to enter into a contest with a steain plowing outfit, and if possible to induce any of the steam outfits to enter a contest, we will endeavor to get some plowing to be done near the State Fair Grounds at Fargo, where the HART-PARR can show its ability, and comparisons can be made with the work done by the steam outfits. Owners of HART-PARR engines have nothing but good words to 9ay about the HART-PARR. Read what souie of them have said: "In regard to my HART-PARR engine, will say that I am perfectly satisfied with it. It handles the separator with ease in all kinds of grain. In plowing, I use eight bottoms, and it pulls them nicely, and on gumbo land at that."—Joel A. Hagen, Fargo, N. D. "In threshing with my HART-PARR engine, I pulled a 31-inch separa tor, and am only sorry that I didn't get a 40-inch cylinder, as I am sure the engine could have pulled it. I. ran the engine and separator myself, most of the season, and burned kerosene, which cost me a little over llo per gallon, delivered on the farm. Everyone that saw my rig run was astonished as the amount of work I did and the steady way in which the rig ran from morning to night.,'—Joseph Pierce, Buffalo, N. D. "I consider that I save about $12'per day by plowing with a HART PARR instead of a steam engine."—P. Shellman, Hope, N. D. "Having used a HART-PARR for plowing and threshing, both, and with several years' experience running a steam outfit behind it, will say that I would not accept the best steam enging in Fargo and agree to operate it for three years, if it were given to ma"—L, E.
