When Is A Wagon

Wagons Look Alike but They Are Not!

Wagons Look Alike but They Are Not?
short time ago the United States Govern
ment made series of wagon axle tests with the
idea of finding a substitute for hickory. These
axleS were all tested to the breaking point.
Thirty axles of each kind of wood were used for
the experiment, using hickory as basis.
HICKORY AXLES broke at. 1909
Maple AXleS broke at...............S9W
Eucalyptus AXleS broke at........6SW
Douglas Fir Axles broke at.....60%
Hickory has one advantage over all other
woods-it has residence. 1t will bend and spring
back into shape and will not sag as doother woods
used in wagon aXles.
Then,-WHEN IS A WAGON NOT A1OO%
WAGON? When it has anything less than
hickory axle
All axles onJOHN DEERE wagons are made
exclusively of SPLIT hickory. This is just one
reason out of ninety-seven or so why JOHN

Boundary Board Action Criticised

The action of the school district
boundary board in alloting a portion of
the Frankton school district to the
Barrett district, has resulted in a Sc
we're criticism of the board. 1t is de-
clared that the transfer of the proper
ty and the tax money will seriously
cripple the Frankton high school, the
first rural high school established in
the state. Community factions were
created this spring, when an attempt
was made to carry the proposition that
all Frankton students should be sent to
the city high school, The sentiment,
as expressed by the vote. however,
was strongly against such action.
