Hear Ye!
Half Automobile
Half Items
And What Do You Think of
the NEW WAY of Sell
ing Automobiles?

The local Maxwell dealer is laying his plans
to sell all the Automobiles in this country, and
think, he is attempting to do it by placing IN
PRINT statement purporting to show how
the Ford Motor Company are swindling the
people.
He attempts to show the figures to prove
that they have an Automobile with $239.70
worth of 'sItems' sold with it, which the Ford
does not have.
Now, we have always wondered in our own
mind what it was Outside the indiSputable fact
that the Ford stands up better under hard ser
vice than any other Automobile in the whole
worldly Thebg outstanding reason that makes
the Ford sell from ten to fifty times greater than
any other make of Automobile.
However, this article seems to be an answer.
greater part is due to the fact that the
WELL INFORMED buyers do not care to pay
S23970 for lot of Items" which apparently
make the car the more liable to break down,
judging from the records of these two Auto
mobiles.
Recently local contractor was being pressed
by Maxwell dealer to cancel his order for a
new Ford for which he had been waiting for a
month or more, and buy instead one of his Auto
mobiles plus the 5000 of Items" (Where
they make their money! The contractor was
proceeding to tell him he required the depend
ability of the sturdy Ford, when the telephone
proclaimed once and then again that somewhere
in the country two of these wonderful Automo-
biles plus the 5000 of ''Items'' were stuck
with gears jammed or some of the 5000 worth
of Items" intermingled, and about the same
moment, one of these wonderful Automobiles
was drawn to the door, plus the $239.7O worth
of Items and all, but nevertheless, being
drawn. Our friend the contractor told the much
confused salesman that if there were as many
Maxwells running as Fords, it would require
State Fair grounds to store their cripples with
their $23o.70 worth of Items" Needless to say
our friend the contractor had no trouble in ter
minating the interview and refusing to entertain
the proposition of half Automobile, half ''Items'
We are in the business of selling
Automobiles and the most dependable
one in the world the Ford, and we are
not in the business of selling 5000
worth of Items" not up to the standard
of quality of the Ford.
Fords volume permits the manufac-
turer and the dealer to make profit on
his cars, therefore, we not engaged
in selling 5000 worth of Items per
car, which service has proven makes the
car less dependable.
We also wish to beg the public's
pardon for the inexcuSable error of
mentioning competitor in our ads.

TALK ABOUT sILos.

Does a silo pay?
The time is here for the farmers to
be planning about building silos for
this year.
So / will give my experience with a
silo. We had a silo built year before
last and have now used it two seasons.
1t is 80 feet tall and 16 feet in diameter
and holds about 120 tons of ensilage.
will feed SO cattle through the winter.
The first season it took 30 acres OF
corn to fill it, but the corn was very
short that year. Last year % acres
filled it with as good corn as ever
grew on the hills of this county.
Now friends, you will have to be well
prepared to feed silage. That is, to
have good tight shed or barn and
good feedway. A silo, barn and work
and material will cost you from 5000
to $500 by the time you are ready to
feed, besides filling it. 1t takes about
IL men to haul corn and run the en-
silage cutter and 8 teams about three
DAYS to fill silo like we have. The
people who make silos say an acre OF
good corn will weigh from - to 10 tons,
but that much never grew on these
hills. You can figure from to tons
as an average in our county. We Will
figure this way % acres of corn at 40
bushels to the acre, $50 blu. com. and
about 440 shocks of fodder cut up. You
see what you have. have been feed
ing cattle for twenty years and have
fed a thousand head in that time or
more. Never lost but very few cattle
in winter. The way l like to winter
cattle is to let them run on sod OF
grass or range in woodland, give my
cattle a good bundle of fodder each
every day, count them ever | feed.
Feed this way until the first of March
then put them in lots not over 20 head
to the lot, feed them corn until grass
comes. 1t don't hurt your old sod for
the cattle TO run on II.
This year we have had our cattle on
the sod, so head of them, and up to the
first of March | had only fed them $50
worth of feed and they look fine, just
as good as the 25 head that have got
the good end OF our silage out of the
silo.
Silage is not full feed by itself. Too
much like eating meat without bread.
The cattle need about 10 or IL pounds
of hay or fodder each every day. But
/ think it is fine feed as far as it goes
as ever was fed cattle. 1t will cost you
as much to fill your silos as it will TO
gather your corn in the shock. This is
my experience.

The movement OF freight over the
c. q o. railroad is certainly taxing the
capacity OF the forces that are ehtrust-
ed with that branch Of It's great sSs-
tenn.
For several weeks people have been
noticing the numerous heavy trains
passing both east and west, through
Maysyille, but OF course, had no idea
OF the real number OF trains that were
put through here, as they are going
both day and night.
During the first twenty two days OF
March there passed through Maysville
over the G. Il o.. 9T7 trains OF at least
sixty cars 10 the train. making an av-
eraEe OF one train every thirty iiye
minutes. and over So. 900 cars loaded
with coal and merchandise.
This shows what an up to date min
ute force OF men and equipment can
accomplish when systematically work
ed together
Another busy place along the line OF
the c. s. o. is the hump" at Russell.
At this hump" where cars are auto
mhtcally weighed and consigned 60
different tracks, Friday night was a
record breaker for the night shift
The day shift has more men nj
work than the night SHIFT. consequent
~ they handle more cars, but AT night
some cars are surely handled About
500 is the average for the night 749
cars were put over the hump

WIRELESS ELEcTRocuTioN.

Some time ago North Dakota man
was trying TO pcddIc 10 the European
belligerents device for wireless cleo
trocution, He claimed Co have meth
cd by which he could send Invisible
death through the air, There were
drawbacks. OF course. II was not ex-
planned how this wholesale destruction
was 10 be effectively aimed No one
seemed 10 understand how the sendcra
themselves would be immune when
death was flyins about No one paid
much attention To the North Dakota
man.
But he had the germ Of an idea. He
had killed files and rabbits BY wire
less. In this age, when death dealing
implements are much desired. Invent
i've genius turns naturally 20 the chan
mel OF demand. The wireless electro
cution may be developed and made
practical.
The scheme is Of course. infinite-
ly horrifying. Its potentiality for evil
Is measureless. Yet IL is just such po-
tentialities that the civilized nations
OF the world are today seeking No
blame can attach 90 the one in North
Dakota II he seeks TO realize from such
an invention.
II wireless destruction can be placed
on a practical basis. the nation first
employing IL should win the. war. n
IL is indeed developed to a controliable
force. the man from North Dakota may
be hailed by future generations AZ the
genius who made war Impossible.
