A location in the foothills of the Cascade Mountains, Northern Cali­fornia, about two square miles in area, furnished the site for the city. A hundred or more carpenters and laborers, under the Supervision of Robert Fairbanks, production man­ager, were utilized in the construc­tion work which covered a period of one month in necessary preparation.

With the use of four massive elec­tric pumps, more than one million gallons of water were drawn from the Sacramento River and stored in a specially constructed reservoir at the highest point of the new city. Numerous scenes were filmed in the city, the final one being the spec­tacular destruction of the little set­tlement by the flood. The huge gates of the reservoir were raised and the water, assisted by the steep

: grade of the mountain, rushed into ! the foothills carrying everything be- ) fore it. Dwellings, churches, thea­tres, bridges and faiload lines were

: lifted from their foundations and all ! piled up in masses of debris.

T h e equipment of mil p u b tt service enterprises in Europe, whether publicly or privately operated, disintegrated terribly during die Great W ar.

T he re were not funds sufficient to keep them up to ' standard.

As a result die service of public utilities was greatly impaired and Pinr 1 time and money will be required for their restoration.

In the meantime die public is inconvenienced.

America h** been more fortunate. H er wire using companies have been excellently well main­tained. This has been due to untiring effort and vigilance upon the part of operating officials and die public's willingness to pay liberal rates. T h e Telephone Company must continue to charge rates to maintain good service, sinceevery element entering into that service costs more than jt did six months ago, and costs are still advancing.

T h e successful telephone company must have die cordial co-operation of its patrons, particularly with respect to the payment of fair rates.

To give your sale the desired publicity and to in­sure yourself th a t you will realize on the sale, you m ust use the m odern way of advertising, namely, the Mail.

X

H undreds of successful sales can be traced to Mail publicity. On cold days, ra iny days and on days th a t the w orst w eather rages, Uncle Sam car­ries the Mail into the country home. On these days the auction bill flu tters helplessly in the wind or is to rn to pieces by the gale. The Maij is read by the m an you wish to reach when he has the

.g rea test leisure, th a t is, when he is sitting around the table a f te r supper.- The auction Mil on the other hand is glaneed a t as the fa rm er o r buyer is hurry ing past. N ine chances ou t o f ten he wotft even see it. Then, too, the Mail reaches almost every fa rm er fo r miles around. T hat’s the biggest argum ent.

The power of the newspaper over the hand bill has been so g rea tly dem onstrated on every occa­sion th a t fu r th e r argum ents in its favor are not necessary to the th inking man. Advertise your sale in the Mail.

The large Beaumont farm on White Lake, at which real estate promoters have been casting longing eyes for some time, has been sold to Detroit parties, and will proba> bly- be platted in the spring.

Plymouth announces a base ball meeting in the interests of a team for that village, this week, in an ef­fort to start* the ball rolling for a Strong team. This is^along the line suggested last fall, when it was stat­ed an effort woul£ be make to organ­ize a small league for the season of 1920. Wayne had a good team last year, and an effort, similar to Plym­outh’s should be made at once so that our .home boys can get into the game the same time as other towns.

Railroad Jack, the man who an­swers questions “while you wait” is putting in his spare time studying about the Fordson tractor, which he expects to use in a trip of 10,000 miles across the continent and back, starting from Ann Arbor next May. lack says he will prove that his repu­tation as a memory expert in regard to names and dates in history so will be obliged to divide honors with mat­ters that relate to the tractor when it comes to telling offhand more about the machine than any other person who ever studied it with the idea of becoming an expert operator—Wavne Weekly.

Monday morning a large force of men came over from Dearborn and were put to work at the new Ford plant in this village. While some of the men were engaged in putting in the water from the village mains, others were set to the task of pre­paring the ground for the erection of the building, which is to house the power plant, and if the weather con­ditions permit, work on the new building will be pushed rapidly for­ward. The parties who purchased the old buildings located on the land acquired by Messrs. Ford have been asked to remove them without de­lay, indicating that improvements in a big way are now contemplated. When spring opens the Ford plant will be a busy place.—Northville Record.

Harvesting is quickly over with a. Moline-Universal Tractor, Model D, one man with an 8-foot grain binder harvesting 25 acres a day, or with a cocn binder, 10 acres a day., The Moline-Universal attaches di­rect to the binder, and forms a sin­gle, compact unit with it that is con­trolled by the operator frorw the seat of the binder, where he must sit in order to do good work. The outfit is as easily handled as with’'horses, stopping, backing, going into corners and turning with ease, with the Mo­line-Universal one man does cleaner, faster, and better work than • other tractors do with two men.• For threshing, the Moline-Univer­sal develops 18-belt horsepower, enough to pull a -24-inch grain sepa­rator or a 16-inch ensilage cutter. This belt power is also available for any other work, such as running a corn shelter, feed grinder, wood saw, clover buller, water pump or elecrtic lighting plant.

Harvesting and belt work, how­ever, are- not the only things the Moline-Universal Tractor can do. With it one man plows 9 acres a day, discs 27 to 38 acres, harrows 76 acres,

plants 20 to 40 acres, cultivates 14 to 20 acres, mows 25 acres, rakes 25 to 40 acres, and loads 12 acre»*of hay.

The high clearance of the Moline- Universal, 291/ 2 inches, makes it per­fectly adapted for cultivating, one man cultivating two rows at a time at all stages of the crop. The trac­tor is light, yet it has power to poll two 14->nch plows at considerably more than average speed, all ita weight being traction weight.

The Moline-Universal Tractor will work every day in the year. It does not plow and prepare your seed bed. and then rest while your horses do the planting, cultivating and harvest­ing. That is why the Moline-Uni­versal really replaces horses, and by enabling one.man to do four and five times as much work as before, amt solves the farm help problem.

The construction of the Moline- Universal is the most advanced on the market. Perfected four-cylinder overhead-valve motor, electric start­ing and lighting system, and complete enclosure of all working parts a reonly a few of the leading features.

Venice, California, Jan. 13, 1920. Dear Plymouth Mail:

Thinking perhaps your readers ■ would- be interested in hearing from Sunny California, I will'toll you about our winter here. We left home Dee. 16th, and arrived in Los Angeles, the 20th, ten hours late, which brought us in at 7:00 in the morning. We came right down to Venice, fourteen miles from Lob Angeles, as they told us sea level was the beet, place for Mr. Biggs. I had -the conductor wire ahead to Chicago for a wheel chair to meet the train, also at Los An­geles. Well, the first night'’here he went to bed and.laid down and slept for tl^e first time in three months, aa he had sat in a Morris, chair every night and slept for the past three months. The next morning he got out on tiie walk on the ocean front and walked a mile, and it sur-

. On New Year’s day we .went oyer to Pasadena to attend the rose, car­nival, which was grand and beyond description. The first Sunday here,Charles Armstrong and wife and their daughter, Erma arid huqband from Alhambra, spent the afternoon with us.” The next Sunday, Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Markham and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Sprague came oyer from Hollywood, to see ua. We have been in Long,Beach,' Glendale, where we saw Charles Shattuck and family.

We have had a number of fine automobile trips, the most beautiful one being up through the. Topanza canyon. They say It is the most beautiful trip in southern California, and T ’thtnkTt must be' trite .as 'it is grand beyond description: The weather is fine here, sun Shines all day. and we have had only one rainy day since we arrived.

A few days ago we were surprised to meet on the* ocean front, Mr. and

Larva la White Caterpillar.The larva of the European corn

borer Is a dirty white caterpillar, about an inch long, with a brown head. It passe* the winter In a nearly full-grown condition within Its food plants. In the spring its growth la completed and it then bores Its way to the surface of the food plant where It makes a slight hole to serve as an exit for tiie resulting moth.

The larva now forms a cocoon In the burrow, passes Into the pupal stage, and in about two weeks the adult moth emerges..The moth, wjhich lives about two weeks, deposits 300 to 700L eggs on the food plant. In about five days the eggs hatch, and the young larvae at first feed on the tender shoots of the plants, but finally bore their way Into the main stem of the plant In about .six weeks, after burrowing through all parts of the plant the larvae pupate as before and emerge as moths about the middle of sutabier.

The female moths of the second brood do the greatest damage to Corn, since they attack not Only the stalk, but also the tassel and the ear. and continue feeding untiftajld weather.
