PLEA FOR STANDARDIZED
CONTROL OF TRAFFIC
Automobile Publication Points to
Evil Effects OF Present
System.
EACH TOWN HAS ITS OWN LAW
And Tourist Who Passes Through
Dozen Towns In One Day Is at
Mercy Of Whims of Local Police
Force.

Standardized traffic control is needed
over 5000 population, says an editorial
in Motor Age. 1t is as essential to
have standardized methods of handling
motor cars and all forms of vehicular
traffic in cities as II is TO have stand
ardized sizes OF spark plugs cor stand
ardi2cd tire sizes.
1--WE need a standardized system of
hand signals for all drivers. The move
ment OF the hand that signals 10 cars
behind YOU that YOU are going to stop
should be the same in Richmond. Va.
as III kearney, Nebraska. We need Il
standardized signal which tells those
cars back of us that we are going to
turn left or going to turn right.
But let us 20 further: We need
standardized methods Of police rcEu
lation. Take n l.6O0-milc trip through
several eastern States and YOU see how
essential 1t Is that the corner police
man has uniform signal in one city
he swings his hands in n confusing
manner. and YOU do not know what
he means The result is you get call
down. In III. next city he does not
swing his hands At all and you get into
more trouble.
Every police force in every city Of
5000 population or more should use
the same arm or hand signals in con-
-
ing two weeks in Il vacation tour goes
through as many as twenty or more
towns and cities n day. 1t is essen
tial 10 him that traffic signals be stand
nrdiEed You are putting the cart be-
fore the horse when YOU permit the
chiefs of police In hundreds of different
cities 10 develop some system Of their
own for signaling. Such method of
procedure is all wrong. 1t is conducive
to accidents, and is n trouble maker
and work maker for the police and
the pedestrians Let us have stand
nrdzcd hand signals Let us have such
standardized signals for every traffic
policeman in every city of 5000 pop
Ulation or over.
I'VE need standardized traffic rules
with regard TO PASSING street cars
stopped 10 take on or let off passcn-
gers. In one city the law says YOU
must come to a fun stop ten feet back
-ef the car. In another city the law
says YOU can pass the street car if
You keep eight feet away from it. In
another city the law says YOU can pass
: lic trolley car providing YOU use due
rcaution. But where do you get off in

LIGHTNING BURNS
KARLSRUHE ELEVATOR
Big Grain House Destroyed Friday
Night With Nearly 10000 Bush
els of Grain.

A glorious rain visited this section
Friday night, bringing relief to the
crops, which were badly in need of
rain. The storm was accompanied by
a great deal of electricity, some dam
age being reported in this section of
the state.
At Karlsruhe, located 60 miles east
of Minot on the Fargo cutoff, large
elevator was set afire and burned. The
elevator was owned by the Kanning
Elevator Co. and was managed by Mr..
kanning and Herman Foss. The ele-
vator contained 5000 bushels of
wheat, 5000 bushels Of oats, 600 bush
els of rye, 500 bushels of barley and
a car of meal oats. The loss to the
grain was fully one-half. The eleva-
tor, valued at $1,000, is a complete
loss. 1t will be rebuilt at once. The
loss was fully covered by insurance.
Ole Sundre, living east of Minot,
reports the loss of three-year-old
mare Friday night. Lightning struck
the animal. Mr.. Sundre valued the
mare at 5000.

WOULD LIKE TO MEET HIM

Mandan, July 1.-THE authorities
today would very much like to have q
little conversation with Reuben M
Cecil, whom they charge with all OF
the following things:
Forging a deed for 10000 acres OF
Oliver county land:
Trying to borrow $4,000 from the
Waterloo Loan & Trust Co., on the
forged deed;
Attempting to murder o. D. Gaines,
rancher and owner of the property to
which the deed was forged The prop
erty was worth S25O,000 and on the
death of Gaines Cecil would receive a
clear title to the land;
Fleeing Florence N. Cattle, Dele
van, Wis, by selling Burleigh county
land three times
To these specific charges, the au-
thorities added general charges of
conspiracy to defraud, forgeries, and
other felonies," just for luck.

Minot Auto Co. and Northwest Motor
Co. Will Contract This Week for
Immense Buildings.

The contract will be let Friday for
the construction of a mammoth new

81 Acres Flowed in
AZ Hours, So Minutes

The whole story is told in the newspaper
clipping reproduced herewith. Mr.. j. w.
Burch, Stewartsdale, North Dakota, on whose
farm the test was made, writes:
81 have condemned all kinds and makes of
tractors before now, and / traded off big
tractor in order to get rid of it.
"Your Bull Tractor agent at Bismarck, N.
d., persuaded me to let him take Big Bull
Tractor out to my farm. He brought out two
of them instead of one, and started in to pillow
in my field at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
May 49, and Thursday morning at 9:58 a.
M, just AZ hours and SO minutes from the
time they started to plow, they had 80 acres
plowed, and as good a job of blowing as
ever saw done in North Dakota. They did it
on $50 gallons of gasoline.
81 am now the owner of one of those Big
Bull Tractors and am advising all my neigh
bors to buy one. When they get crop they
will have plenty of money to buy an automo-
bile with. believe in buying "Bull" first
and an automobile second"

FRIDAY, MAY 26, 1916
BIG BULL DOES JOB
IN RECORD TIME

! Another record set up for the Big
Bull tractor, went into history yester-
day morning when at 10 o'clock exact
ly 80 acres had been plowed, the work
having been finished in forty-eight
hours by two machines.
/ The piece Of land, being rented this
year by j. w. Burch, lies on the east
and west road just east of Fort Lin
coin. Two Big Bull tractors were
started blowing with Case gang plows,
at 10 o'clock on Tuesday morning.
These machines ran constantly day
and night, stopping only occasionally
for oil and fuel And at FIVE minutes
to 10 o'clock yesterday morning the
machines had finished their work in
the field, having so acres to their cred
it.
In the first thirteen hours of work,
one Of the machines had made 10 laps,
averaging some over two miles to the
lap and the other Bull had made 10
laps, averaging the same.
This demonstration to show what
the Big Bull could do on the farm, was
staged by the Bull Tractor company,
represented in this city by the Schibs-
by Bull Tractor company. Referring
to the record made by the machines,
Mr.. Schibsby made the statement to
the Tribune yesterday morning: 81
am not surprised in the least at the
outcome of this demonstration. l was
confident that the machines could do
the work. They are the only thing for
the modern farmer, and the day is not
far distant when every farmer in
North Dakota will not think of run
ming his farm without Big Bull to
do the heavy work. The feature of
the machine is that it will run all the
time, and when blowing is to be done,
such as in the field we have just fin
ished, the Bull works all night IS well
as all day. Our boys had absolutely
no trouble with the machines, the only
stops being made for fuel and oil. |
Practical demonstrations mean more
to. us than anything else as selling ar
guments."

The Big Bull

Proves its endurance and dependability in
an emergency that demands certain amount
of work to be done within certain time
prove that it's not the number of plows you
pull, but the number of acres you pillow, that
counts.
Scores of nonstop runs of "a to Sc hours
have been made with the "Big Bull" We be-
lieve it is the only tractor in the world cap
able of such remarkable endurance tests.
The above is the reason none of the parties
selling small tractors have accepted our
challenge for a blowing contest.
THE SUB-SOILING FEATURE of the
single drive wheel, studded with long spade
lugs and running in the furrow is another
point to consider. Over 500 farmers have re-
ported increased crop yields Of 10 to 33 1-3

called in the capital. Only Persia"

Stone, after a conference with the

He added that he favored severe &C.
tion against the nation responsible.
With President Wilson's return to
the White House to take personal
charge of the situation there were
marked Indications of the Presidents
intention to proceed carefully and de-
liberately before committing the
United States to the next step in the
already-strained relations with the
Teutonic powers. But the tension
among officials in general seemed in
creased.
At the State Department the hope
was expressed that there would be

"The President and the Secretary
of State are taking every means pos
sible to obtain the full facts in this

"The Presidents second step was
to direct Secretary Lansing to gather
