Kilgore, of 2011 North Sixth street, who has been a practic in physician of the city for the past twenty years, has been commissioned an assistant surgeon with the rank of Lieutenant Junior Grade the United States Naval Reserve force to report to morrow in Virginia, "Dr. Kilgore, who has been unusually successful in hia profession, was graduated from the Millersville State Normal School and afterward from the Medical Department of the University of Pennsylvania. He was elected president of the Medical So ciety of Dauphin county in 1916 after serving that society for three years as secreiary i 1 FARM TRACTORS DID BIG WORK Secretary Pattori Is Pleased With Wonderful 'Cross River Demonstration Secretary of the State Department of Agriculture, morning expressed his congratulations through the Telegraph to every tractor manufacturer and agent who, participated in the plowing demonstrations at Marsh' Run, showing "splendid spirit in sticking to the end in spite of adverse conditions." The secretary said that there had been more efficient plowing than was recorded at any previous test, in eluding the recent one at Salina, and that the Harrisburg event will have most significant results all over th United States. "It is an industry yet in its infancy" he pointed out "but our records show that while one year ago only 600 machines were in use in the state; "now the number is something over over 2,200. One of the most significant features of gathering was the number of men from all parts, of the Union who sought agencies' for the tractor, and it is certain that very soon nearly every automobile establishment will have its tractor department, so that the farmer can be in immediate touch with the product." Five o'clock last evening saw the finish of tlid demonstration and while several days must elapse before the Department of Agriculture can make out the precise records it can be said to day that a total of 75 acres were plowed.

The quota orig onally planned was 103, but rain sadly disrupted the schedule. On Friday the hotels here were jammed with farmers who were disappointed in not being able to look on during Saturday. However, a great many saw enough to convince them and the universal pledge was heard: "I cannot do without this machine." Of the 75 plowed acres 45 were disced and seeded with prime wheat and Secretary Patton, just to show that the old Keystone Btate is there with all kinds of loyalty, to day turned over two tractors to the government and the Marsh Run folks will go ahead and cultivate many more acres, so that big crop of wheat is insured for next year. The first machine to drop out was the Reed, which only took a couple turns last Thursday and then withdrew, after an accident. On Saturday both entries of the International Harvester Company withdrew and also the Waterloo.

These entries therefore will have no records for Monday and The big test of the whole demonstration was on Monday afternoon when the machines which remained in the competition were sent into a two year old corn stubble field that was overgrown with weeds from three to six feet Tiigh. In addition the field had a number, of large gullies and stones almost as large as a man were turned up. The tractors which tackled this field made remarkable progress and showed really the almost endless capability of the modern tractor as it has been perfected day. Army officers and many farmers were skeptical about the tractors' ability to work in this corn stubble field, but when the machines which tackled it got through they were convinced that the tractor could work under severe circumstances. The making up' of the records, a very precise task is in the hand of William Douglas, statestician of the Department of Ariculture, and emphasized to day that in publishing these later, each tractor will get credit for the particular conditions of the field in which each worked, for conditions were by no means identical.

Two British Flyers Take 65 Germans; Stay in Air to Drive Them to Camp London, Sept. 25." Two British aviators, flying low in one machine brought about the surrender of sixty five Germans, and without leaving their plane shepherded the, party across No Man's Land to the British lines, according to a tale from the battlefield made public yesterday. The pilot and his observer had i.been attacked from a trench ana sunken road. The pilot dived and replied to the enemy Are with his machine gun, killing one and wounding three. The Germans in a panic ceased firing and hoisted a white handkerchief.

As there were no British Infantry in that neighborhood, the pilot de scended to within fifty feet of th ground and ordered the Germans out of the trenches, circling around them to insure that none escaped. All were safely brought In and hand, ed over to the nearest British, troops. The aviators then resumed their patrol. helps you to get jour glasses now while pay. iiig for them at intervals pHILDREN'S eyes should not be neglected.
