THE DEMAND FOR TRAC-
TORS is EVER INCREASING

While the number of horses and
mules in this country is continually
increasing, the demand for power is
Increasing much more rapidly. Men
are learning to do more and more
work by animal or mechanical power
Population is also on the increase,
Hence 1t is necessary not only to
furnish more power to do the work
winch was at one time done by hani.
but 1t is necessary also to do the vast
amount of work required to feed and
clothe the increasing population.
Small gasoline engines are being
made use of very largely, but large
portion of the power needed must be
IN the form Of draft. Hence it is
necessary to use the tractor. This
very easily accounts for the sale of
such vast number of tractors and the
ever increasing demand for this farm
machine. 1t is hard to understand
now anyone can say the tractor is a
fad and back his belief by any sound
reasoning.
Ihe tractor is not fad, but a
necessity without which, in the nre-
sent crisis, this and every other war
ring nation would be in sorry plight
1t would be impossible to maintain
the army at the front without trac.
tors to convey food and to helm with
the farming operations.
Not only is the tractor necessary
from this standpoint, but it has been
found more efficient for many kinds of
work and is therefore greatly in de-
mand for such operations. In the
hot months the farm horse is almost
disabled by the effect of the heat
The tractor is then at it's best.-E. r

A Warning.

On Labor Day evening. while
attending the second show at
the Temple Theatre, my car was
left in front of the Loveland
building, next to the Blexrud
Tailor Shop, and the pockets of
the car were rifed, undoubtedly
by some boy or boys, who took
among other things 81 revolver
and a fash light.
During the past months, /
understand, good many auto
mobibile owners have had the
same trouble and several stores
just within the last few weeks
have been broken into, and from
all appearances, it is the work
of boys. I'll
Whoever these boys are, they
do not understand the serious
ness of their doings. Should any
mother or father find that any
of their boys have a revolver or
flash light which they cannot
account for, it would stand them
in hand for the good of their
boys to take same up with the
Chief of Police and find out who
the leader or leaders of this gang
are. 1t may be a little en-
barrassing for the boy as well
as the parents, at this time to
expose this gang, but I believe
it would be for the best interest
of all.
Respectfully yours,
Amos M. Hansen.

Fire Saturday Morning Destroyed
Lien Plumbing Shop
Building and Contents Almost a Total
Loss. Other Buildings p
ScOrChed.

Washburn seems to be eX-
tremely lucky so far as disastrous
fires are concerned and on more
than one occasion have threaten
ing fires been put out with little
loss.
The Washburn Fire Depart
ment certainly is to be con-
graduated on the manner in
which they comDated the fire
which DESTROYED the Fox build
ing, occupied by the Lien Plumb
ing shop, at an early hour last
Saturday morning.
The alarm announcing this
fire was sounded at shortly be-
fore three o'clock and when the
department arrived the entire
building was ablaze and was
threatening the Fox Bros. drug
store and the Gem Theatre ad-
joining. Within a few minutes
the department had two streams
playing on the blaze and the fire
was confined to the one building.
Had either of the other adjoin-
ing buildings caught fire the
greater portion of the frame
buildings in the block would
have made fuel for the fire
demon.
The Lien plumbing shop build
ing was totally destroyed and
the stock in the building
was almost a total loss. Both
were partly covered by insur-
ance.
This is the third time in the
past twenty years that this
building has been visited by fire,
but on each previous occasion
the fire was put out and the
building was repaired. 1t is now
so badly damaged that repair
is impossible.

Elmer Oistad Cut by Flying Glass
Tuesday.
Front Of Thielke Tin Shop Wrecked by
Explosion Of Gasoline
Lead Pot.

Elmer Oistad of the Clausen-
Oistad company looks today as
Il he had been in the trenches
when a sharpnel shell exploded
as the result of an explosion in
the Thielke Tin shop late Tues
day afternoon. How he escaped
more serious injury is a mystery.
The explosion was that of a
gasoline lead pot and the force
was so great that the door of the
building was blown out, the
plate glass shattered and the
rear window taken out.
The tin shop is owned by
Arnold Thielke and is located at
the rear of the Lamoreaux Hotel.
Mr.. Thielke had been in the
building a short time previous to
the explosion and had been
working on an automobile
radiator. In his work he had
been using the lead pot which is
heated by gasoline. Mr.. Thielke
turned out the heater and left
for the Bourgeois home where
he was working.
About ten minutes after Mr..
Thielke left the building Mr..
Oistad and another gentlemen
appeared. When the door of the
building was opened it was dis
covered that the lead pot was all
afame. Oistad sized up the
situation and decided that there
was danger in being around and
the two started out of the build
ing, getting just outside, when a
terrific explosion occurred. Flying
glass cut Mr.. Oistad about the
face and legs and as he rushed
to the Doctors office he notified
others to turn in the fire alarm
Before the fire department
arrived the blaze was extin-
guished with a Pyrene ex-
tinguisher and little damage was
done from the fire. The force OF
the explosion was so great that
the door was blown from the
hinges, the plate glass shattered
and window in the rear of the
building was taken out.
Mr.. Oistad received cut or
the nose, a cut over the eye, one
on the bridge of his nose and one
on the leg, besides numerous
other scratches. A number ot
stitches had to be taken to close
the wounds. His companion was
just around the corner of the
building and escaped injury.

am still alive, well and happy and
find Army life to my liking.
am indeed glad to note by the
Times of the 23rd of Aug. the article
relating to the departure of Co. D..
of Washburn which speaks alone for
the spirit of Washburn and adjoining
community and also the way folks
and friends turned out for them. /
had touch of it both at Milwaukee
where Co. E. of the 9th assembled
and at Chicago where we joined Co.
D. we were equipped at Chicago and
left Immediately for this point. which
is splendid place. +
/ am enclosing a clipping of the
Leavenworth Times to show you
what they think of us here. The
regular officers have often spoken of
us in the way that would make any
member of either Co. feel that he is
highly honored by being able to be
in this outfit.
Our training at present is very
heavy. We have to study lot of
things that none of us have ever had
before, but we are mastering it at a
rapid rate and in a few weeks we
will be on our way over seas as far
as we know at present.
Hoping you will extend my re-
CARDS and best wishes to all my
