Bates Steel Mule
Doesn't Mind Mud,
Sand or Stone in Way

One Of the exhibits at Fremont this
week that is attracting its share OF
attention is the Bates Steel Mule. This
is the machine w. J. Bryan picked to
drive last year because of its apparent
simplicity of operation.
The other day." said E. E. Bates,
"a keen farmer was watching Bates
Steel Mule in a field He had seen it
perform many times before-he had
seen it pillow, disc, drill, cultivate and
harvest-he had seen it work on soil
so wet horse would sink over its fet-
locks in gummy mud--he had seen it
do all these things with only one man
running both Mule and implement.
AT last he said, About the only
thing it won't do is "Gid-ep" when you
say "Gid-ep," but when you shoot a
little juice in the carburetor you sure
get action
THAT farmer told the whole story
in simple, definite way. In the hard
ground at Hutchinson and a. St. Louis
our tractor did excellent work. In its
demonstrations it has demonstrated
that it can cultivate corn or cotton
and do it with the implements now on
the average farm. 1t is SO constructed
that it will operate in mud, sand or
plowed ground and all the work is
handled from the seat Of the imple-
ment. 1t is truly a one-man outfit in
every sense of the word and does the
work of twenty mules"
Mr.. Bates was particularly enthusi-
astic over the Fremont show and said
it was all that the tractor men could
ask in attendance and arrangement.

Cyrus Fl. Mccormick, president of

the exhibit OF his company at the

on the field.
This is my flrst visit" said Mr..
Mccormick, TO a tractor demonstra-
ton conducted on such a generous
scale. Fremont has been we'll chosen,
geographically, for this exhibit and
the great crowds in attendance prove
the wisdom of those who organized
the meeting, and the practical need
Of such gathering.
"A collective exhibit like this i'm

future value of the industry more

Light Allwork Is
Machine That Has
Made Good All Over

1--WE consider this Fermont demon
stration the king Of all tractor shows"
was the expression Of L. G. Hall,
representing the Electric Wheel COM
pany Of Quincy, H., at Fremont Tues
day:
THE paramount issue with the
farmer today" said Mr.. Hall, lis the
light gas tractor. If it fulfills the
claims that are made for it motor
farming will be universal within very
few years. In our Light Allwork
tractor we believe that we have ma
chine that comes close to perfection
in this type Of machine. We are ex-
tremely anxious to place our tractor
in the field because at work it is our
most efficient salesman. We have
been designing and manufacturing
tractors for ten years. We claim that
experience in other lines of manufac-
turing counts for little in gas tractor
building. They are line to themselves
and what the buyer is interested in
knowing is that the experimenting has
been done before the machine is Of
fered for sale.
"In the time we have been making
tractors the field has been thoroughly
covered, the claims made for the
various types have been thoroughly
investigated, and a close study made
of every claimed improvement. Our
tractors have been thoroughly tested
in the Dakotas, in Louisiana swamps
and on the average farms of the mid
die west so that they have been op-
Grated under almost every condition
possible"
The Light Allwork tractor is COM
pactly built machine. 1t is sturdy and
solid with rigid construction. 1t is
simple in design with no intricate
parts. 1t uses the regular farm inn
plements the same as the horses pull.

UPRIGHT KEROSENE
ENGINE DOES WELL
Emerson Birmingham Big Four
Tractor Shows It's Merit
at the Show.
IT FLOWS ALL THE LAND

''The Big Four tractor has proved
that kerosene can be used most sue
cessfully in an upright engine" said
John Glover, vice president Of the
Emerson Birmingham Implement
company at Fremont Tuesday. "By
demonstrating this conclusively we
believe we have gone long way in
easing the fuel situation so far as the
tractor is concerned" continued Mr..
Glover, land we believe this will mean
a great deal to the farmers for long
time to come.
1.-THE Observation-Disclosures Imple-
ment company has been making good
farm machinery for long time and
we have made our own Emerson
plows and our Big Four tractor to fit
each other. Ours is a one-man outfit
that plows all the land deep and
cheap. We have an outfit that will
pillow all the land and there will be no
more headlands and fence corners left
unplowed. The power of the motor
raises or lowers the plow whenever
you push the lever, whether the trac-
tor is moving or standing still. When
the plows are raised you can back up
a foot or mile or go ahead as far as
you like. The plows can be detached
in moment and the tractor is ready
for any other kind of traction or belt
work"
Mr.. Glover was more than enthusi-
astic over the Fremont show. He said
it was the best they had attended and
the interest around the Emerson.
Birmingham exhibit seemed to be all
that could be desired.
Perhaps no exhibit no the grounds
was more complete than that which
the big Four" tent held. There was
also a well developed interest in the
performance of the Emerson Bran
tingham machines in the field, which
seemed to fulfill the claims of the
manufacturers.

Say All Farms Soon to be
Lighted by Electricity

"Delco Light" small farm electric
light plant, Is the center OF great deal
Of interest at the Fremont Tractor
show. The Delco people have COM
pleted lighting combination that
makes it possible Tor the small farm
home TO have electric lights with a
minimum expense and with little
trouble. The generator is connected
direct to the gas engine and the opera
ton OF the engine is controlled auto
matically, A storage battery is filled
by the generator and this cuts off the
engine. The engine is started again
by the pressure OF button. The
Delco people predict that it will be
but a short time until every farm
home will be using electricity.

Tractor That is
Easy to Turn is
Center of Crowd

The Albaugh- Dover Tractor was
one OF the interesting displays at FIRE.
mont to large number of farmers.
After watching the tractor perform
on a small space of ground, where it
turned, went ahead, backed up and
moved to every corner OF the small
space within the tent, one farmer was
heard to remark: That machine re-
minds ME of a well trained, high
strung, anxious horse. 1t moves so
quickly here, there and everywhere.
and it seems SO powerful and precise
in its movements
What the farmer said was true.
Very few tractors appear as easy of
control, so easy to drive to the place
wanted as the Albaugh-Dover. The
secret of the quick, easy handling OF
this tractor lies in the special trans
mission patents, which are owned cx-
clusively by this company.

Waite Willing to Make
Demonstration for ANY Farm

The Waite tractor was one of the
interesting exhibits at the Fremont
show this week. The Waite tractor
is rated eight horsepower at the
draw bar and sixteen horsepower at
the belt. 1t is fine machine on a
farm, be it small or large. The ma
chine has gearless transmission which
the manufacturers claim is the ideal
drive for a machine of this kind.
One of the strong points about the
Waite tractor is the willingness of
the manufacturers to make demon
STATIONS on any farm for any farmer
who indicates that he is interested
in the purchase of the machine that
fills the bill with him.

Fake Business Agents
 Cause of Complaints

/ Because interruptions persons are said to have represented themselves as accredited officials of labor in this and other cities to the detriment of the genuinely union heads, all business agents of the allied building trades in this city today wear badges of their office.
 These badges are of nickel silver, bearing the words Business Agent followed by the name of the unions they represent. A seal of the city of Bridgeport is inserted in the shield.
 The building trades warn all con- tractors house owners and household CTS to beware of any person repre- senting himself as a union agent not showing the proper emblem of the office.
