NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION
OF TRACTORS AT DALLAS

AT the national tractor demonstra-
ton at Dallas July IS to 81, the mod
ern horse will be exhibited in every
size and type. There will be prob
ably two hundred of these from the
largest to the smallest, the output of
every factory in the United States.
The modern horse consumes gasoline
and kerosene with dessert of lubri-
eating oils and tonics of electric
sparks. The modern horse is given
life from a cylinder, has draft power
of many tons, and it requires but a
single person to control. The modern
horse is going to be responsible for
the great development of our agricul-
tural resources.
The modern horse is known as the
farm tractor, and is the offspring of
the automobile but bred for perform
ing burdensome tasks. AS the mod
ern horse stands on the floor of the
factory, IL is du inert anu lHdulllldJe
thing of many parts, assembled by
skilled mechanics for many purposes.
You touch a small lever and it re
spends to the wishes of the driver to
do things, which have in the past been
put on the willing shoulders of the
horse. The predominant idea in the
modern horse is the elimination of the
need of surplus horses and the substi-
tuition of the internal combustion en-
gine in farm work. 1t may be hitch
ed to anything that is to be drawn
and operated economically. If the
farmer wishes to plow his field, he
bitches three or four plows behind
his tractor, instead of one plow be-
hind two horses, and the tractor will
pull them over level land up hill and
down, plow deep or shallow, wide or
narrow, as the farmer desires. He can
place harrows behind his plow and
chop and pulverize the soil. He can
hitch a corn harvester behind his
horse of steel, and in a few hours

SOUTHWEST TRACTOR
SHOW AT ENID JULY 1t-14

Enid, Okla, June 15.-Manufactur-
ers are expecting the heaviest demand
for tractors to come during the two
months Immediately succeeding the
harvest They are even fearful that
they will be unable to Immediately
meet the demands to be made upon
them by farmers, many of whom
will attend the Southwest Tractor
show here July lila for the purpose
of making selection of the types they
like best
The Southwest Tractor show will
give excellent opportunity to every
to every prospective tractor 'pur-
chaser to select the type specially suit
ed to individual needs for there will
be many makes and styles and prices
and weights and sizes represented
there. 1t will be an amazing eXposi-
ton of farm implements that come
under the motor classification, a
closeup exhibition of everything max
ing up the machines, and a practical
demonstration of everything of which
they are capable in performance.
Farmers know that in the fall their
tractors will perform tremendous
and varied duty, and that even before
autumn the machines will be put to
daily use in multitudinous ways. 1t
is the duty of every farmer to choose
wisely in making such an investment,
and he certainly will be able to salts
fy himself if he attends the Enid show,
since it will present all sorts of trac-
tors from which he can make selec-
ton.
Enid is making great preparations
for the visitors reception; the shows
active management is vying with the
town in energy and there is roster
prospect every day that the show will
be the most splendid event in the
southwest's agricultural history.

cream festival held the last week In
June. Some definite plan of work was
also under discussion. and that, too,
will be decided on at the next meet
ing. This society is very anxious to
get movement on foot whereby the
city of Ardmore will be a cleaner and
healthier one, and in order to do this
there must be a united effort from
householdors and business people
alike. The unsanitary habit Of spit
ting on the pavement is one that was
bitterly condemned as not only un-
slightly but a menace to health, and
some action will be taken in the very
near future to put an end to things
of this kind In short, the women OF
Ardmore will keep abreast with the
men in building a bigger cleaner and
better city.

HOW To REDUCE
YOUR WEIGHT
A SIMPLE, SAFE, RELIABLE WAY

People who are over-burdened with
superhuous fat, know only too well
the discomfort and ridicule that over
stout people have to bear.
If you are carrying around five or
ten pounds of unhealthy fat you are
unnecessarily weakening your vital
organs and are carrying a burden
which destroys the beauty of your
figure.
There is no need of anyone suffer
ing from superhuous fat. If you
want to reduce your weight in a
simple, safe and reliable way, with
out starvation diet or tiresome eX-
ercise, here is a test worth trying.
Spend as much time as you can in
the open air, breathe deeply and get
from the City Drug Store or any
good druggist a box of oil of korein
capsules; take one after each meal
and one before retiring at night.
Weigh yourself once a week so as
to know just how fast you are losing
weight, and don't leave off the treat
ment or even skip single dose until
you are down to normal
Oil of korein is absolutely harm
less, is pleasant to take, and helps
digestion. Even few days treat
ment has been reported to show a
noticeable reduction in weight, foot
steps become lighter, your work
seems easier and lighter and more
buoyant feeling takes possession of
your whole being.
Every person who suffers from
superfuous fat should give this treat
ment trial.

l, 1917. The first shipment is expect
ed to reach the penitentiary within
the next sixty or seventy days. The
work Of installing it will begin imme-
diately and will be rushed with the
view of having the plant in time to
make binder twine for use in the 1917
harvest.
The machinery purchased by the
board is sufficient to equip a plant
with a daily capacity of $1,000 pounds
of binder twine.
An appropriation of $125,0OO was
made by the last extra session of the
legislature for the installation and
equipment of the twine plant. OF this
amount $4,000 was set aside for the
construction of the building and the
purchase of the machinery, the remain
ing $4,000 to be used in the purchase
of the raw material.

alixe Wheat Market.

Chicago Dec 15.--Reports regarding dis
armament and peace threw wheat values
to the winds today. Excited selling re-
suited in losses that just before the end of
the day amounted to 1sh bushel. The
close was wild at 1884 TO $l,56h for May
and s1.S1% to s1,S2h for July, with the
market as whole 1ohc to l2%c under
yesterdays finish. Corn showed setback
OF INC to 2bc and oats 2%c to Sc. Pro-
visions wound up with gains Of l5c to 42hc.
Such furious selling as came when the
wheat market opened rarely has been seen
In Chicago Tho trade was confronting an
authorized statement from the German en-
bassy at Washington that tho proposed
peace parley should discuss universal limi-
ted disarmament. From the instantaneous
wholesale overturnlng Of prices, and the
deafening uproar OF offerings to unload
holdings, the fact seemed plain that at
least in the wheat pit opinion was very
unanimous that a long step had been taken
toward peace. Urgency to sell was so In
tense that initial quotations varied AZ much
as nearly cents n bushel among brokers

which carried the market down 3hc to
