ers who were fortunate enough to
hear one of the ablest talks ever
made on the subject of scientific

meat and the logic and suggestions
offered were well received by the
people;
The tractor, which soon will revo
lutionise the present methods of
farming, was then put on exhibition.
It is more simple than the standard
priced automobile and kerosene is
used for fuel. With the long stroke
of the pistons an astonishing amount
of power is developed. It is capable
of pulling a nest of gang plows to
which is coupled a harrow. The
depth to be plowed can be regulated
at will and all of the .operations are
handled from the single seat ,at the
rear of the tractor. The tractor has
three speeds forward, and when freed
from its trailers is capable of mak
ing twelve miles an hour on ordinary
highways. It can be operated on the
hottest days without discomfort to
the driver or injury to the equipment
and chn, by the use of headlights, be
operated at night. The machine is
so made that it can be hooked up to
run small sawmills, cane mills, en
silage cutters, silo fillers and other
machinery with' belt auaenments.
The demonstration was a great
success and the weatherman turned

rusalem Temple—the largest of the
order in the South. .This was the
biggest Shrine parade since 1910,
when the Imperial Council of North
America took the Shriners of a con*
tinent to the Crescent City.
The pageant- marked the second
day of the three-day ceremonies and
was followed at 8 p. m. in the new
temple by what Illustrious Potentate
Charles Weinberger termqd "some,
serfmonial," at which a class of 108
candidates for nobility wepe rushed
cross the sands.
Come From Afar
Out of the desert wastes, from
many a far oasis, the Sons of the
Prophet visited the New Orleans
tents of camels' hair that they njight
rejoice with Jerusalem Temple over
its new home. From Atlanta, from
Birmingham, from Mobile, from Me
ridian, from Bogalusa and Jackson
special trains rushed the nobles
across the sandy wastes, their hearts
gleeful at the' thought of what
awaited them.
Navy Mon at Head
Leading the parade as grand marv
shal was Lieutenant Commander
navy, former captain of the Jerusa

riders in the ranks of thousands were
