G. FRANCES, B.D. Continued from Thursday.) but the one now in question is the Tobias of Fairland, born Nov. 25, 1788, and died Mar. 22, 1866, son of Michael of Fairland, son of John the settler on Snltz Creek, for his Maria, lying beside him in the! cemetery north of Cleona, was born July 16, and died March 28, Catharine is likely buried there also, likely one of the stones there whose inscription was illegible to ae, marking her resting place.

Whether Maria had any children by Dotaer we have not learned, likely cot, as no mention is made of any in release to the home property. The family of Tobias we shall take up under his branch of Kreiders. BARBARA married Michael Reider, who by April 13, 1825, had mewed to Center county, their home being at Gateeburg, a short distance north of the Huntingdon county line. Reider signed Oct. 29, 1830, the release to the home farm In behalf of his wife, Barbara, as did Tobiaa Kreider in behalf of his wife Catharine, deceased, and his living wife, Maria.

Jacob, the County Commissioner Jacob Kreider, son of John, succeeded his father as owner of the homestead. He was married to Elizabeth Shaeffer, daughter of John Shaeffer, the Mennonite preacher north of Halfway. See our History of the Shaeffer Family. Elizabeth was born May 26, 1S05; and died March 7, 1874. Both she and her husband were Mennonites, Jacob was elected county commissioner in likely succeeding his brother- in-law, Jacob Shaeffer, who had been elected to the same office in 1S46 Jacob Kwider is likely the only Mennonite to fill this office in our Jacob stood very high in the community.

He was noted for his hospitality. He raised many watermelons on his farm, and on SuBdays asked many along home to partake. If any one asked for a melon to carry home, it was always bat he did not like any to take wflittrat asking. His watermelon treats seem to have made a lasting impression.

FARM TRACTOR TAKK LONG TRIP OVERROADS Started on a Coatt-to- Coast Journey to Demonstrate Adaptability Lftat Thursday afternoon, following a sendofX luncheon at the Automobile Club of America, New York City, a tractor started on. a transcontinental trip, the first tour of the aort ever made by tractor, rta ultimate desitinaiion is Angeles. and in going from coast to coast will encounter all sorts of road conditions.

This unusual undertaking is not designed primarily as a specta cular stunt, but rather as a definite demonstration and proof that a farm tractor can be worked a seffi- ciently on the road as in the field, provided it is properly equipped. A crew of ex-army men, including Lieut. T. H. Irwin, formerly a U.

6. Air Service flyer; Lieut. Robert E. Mackenzie, late of the Tank Corps; iLeut. Howard S.

Tiffany, recently with the Ordnance and others will pilot tractor in shifts. Attached to it is a trailer which carries a three-bottom plow and a set of, wide, cleated tractor wheels for uhe in plowing and other farm work. These wheels can ibe substituted for the rubber tired ones very quickly as quickly in fact- as wire wheel scan be changed on passenger automobiles. Within twenty minutes the tractor can be taken off the road and made ready for, field work. After the luncheon on Thursday, the tractor was demonstrated, plowing a number of furrows in a field and doing other essential farm stunts.

It then set out upon its way, heading for Philadelphia via Trenton. The itinerary includes Harrisburg, Reading, Pittsburgh, Canton, Akron, Cleveland, Dayton, Indianapolis, South Bend, Chicago and thence to the coast via fit. Louis and the Midland Trail, Pikes Peak Highway and the Pioneer Way. One of the aims of the trip is tl demonstrate to the Government that in case of more war being forced upon this country, whereby defense on a big scale -becomes necessary, tractors of the country quipped with road wheels and manne dby army driers cvan be made instantly available for hauling gttns and for general transportation purposes, either in this country or another country. In the Past the tractor has been considered a heavy, unwieldy, implement, primarily intended for tilling, cultivating and farming, but' the present trip is to prove the wonderful utility of this type of tractor for hauling on roads where cleated tractor wheels and land wheels are prohibited.

The trip also marks the inauguration of an educational campaign to dealers and consumers throughout th country. STAULESS POTATOES On the farm of A. J. Herstwy, foot north of Spring Grove. Stsdkiew vota- toea ha-ve dereloped and they mn great curiosity.
