WHY WE ARE At WAR.

Germany has forced America. as 1t
has forced practically the entire world
to defend itself by arms. We are fight
ing this war because Germany made
war upon us. America is peaceful
Nation: we have no lust for conquest,
no desire for annexation Of territory:
We are defending ourselves against
Germany because the Imperial Ger
man Government entered upon pro-
gram which meant the destruction Of
all American institutions.
When We finally recognized that
Germany was waging war upon US We
had seen more than 223 Americans,
among them many women and chill
dreu. killed by German submarines;
hospital ships had been sunk and UNI
fortified towns had been bombed and
bombarded Medals had been struck
in honor OF the sinking OF
the Lusitania, the murderouS
act bp which SO many Of our
men. women and children lost their
lives German officials had treated the
United States. neutral nation, as an
enemy. Strikes were organized in this
country. plants were blown up, pro-
German publications were founded
and subsidized. and hatred Of America
was systematically sought to be in
cuIcated among our fOreign-bOrn in
habitants Every effort was made to
involve Us in trouble with Japan and
Mexico Our repeated protests were
met with promises and explanations
which were little better than insults.
The Imperial German Government
finally proclaimed the unrestricted
destruction OF neutral ships upon the
high seas 1t was the notification to the
United States that our people were no
longer sovereign, and that if they
would sail the seas in safety we must
crnform to conditions laid down by
Government that detcd international
law, humanity. and elemental moral
ity.

tematically applied by the Imperial
German Government since the out

Cd with indescribabIe brutality, the
nOOlesI works OF art have been des-
tr0yed, and prisoners have been abus-
eI and maltreated and civilian pOpula-
tons massacred and depOrted.
This is why America has gone into
this war in defense of American hon
or and American rights. To have done
anything else would have been to sur

Use Of Starter or Lights
SapS Enerqy of Battery

Elmer Rosengren of the Nebraska
Storage Battery company, distribu-
tors Of the Willard battery, suggests
the following pointers on care of the
electrical system on a motor car.
Every time you operate your self
starter or use your electri' lights
while the engine is not running a GER
tain amount of energy is taken from
your storage battery. A modern car
carries an electric generator which
puts back into the battery the current
which has been taken out to operate
the lights and starter. This genera
tor must run at charging speed for
several minutes in order to create the
same amount Of electrical energy that
is consumed by the electric starter in
few seconds.
Ordinarily, a motor should start
on very few turns in warm weather,

Electric Sales Increase
As Chauffeurs Join CoIors

an the face OF a recent price ad-
vance Detroit electric sales keep on
climt ing" asserts E. M. Bottom,
manager OF the Omaha branch Of the
Anderson Electric Car company.
1T is a singular fact in connection
with this increase in sales that the
war has actually been responsible for
some of them. Several sales through
out the western district have recently
been occasioned by desire upon the
part of buyers to help the war cause.
Many OF the chauffeurs and mechan-
les employed by car owners are join
ing the colors and in several instances
buyers have chosen to get electrics
owing to the fact that much less care
is required and all members of the
family can operate them without the
aid of an experienced chauffeur or
mechanician.

MAKES A FORD INTO
NEW FARM TRACTOR
Unusually Simple Attachment
Connects With Front and
Rear Axle.
CHANGE IN Is MINUTES

In the face Of one of the most criti-
cal farm conditions ever known in the
history OF the country--with the en-
tire world looking to the American
farmers for food-and with farmers
confronted with a shortage of farm
labor such as they have never before
known-the Smith Form-a-Tractor
company have come to the front with
a tractor attachment designed for
Ford cars.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
ture OF this attachment is its unusual
simplicity. 1t consists merely OF a
channel section frame which attaches
to the Ford front axle, extends under
the Ford chassis beyond the Ford rear
axle and is connected with dead
tractor axle of two-inch cold rolled
steel which is designed to receive two
unusually sturdy tractor wheels.
The entire attachment can be made
in fifteen minutes without boring a
hole or changing the mechanical con-
struction OF the car in any way. All
that is necessary is to remove the
Ford rear wheels, replace them with
driving pinions designed with key
way to fit into the key of the Ford
axle. This driving pinion fits over
the brake band and the brake drums,
retaining all the braking features OF
the Ford car. Six rollers designed of
tough, chrome steel are fitted on this
driving pinion.
A special cellular type radiator
containing six times the cooling area
OF the Ford radiator is furnished with
the Smith Form-a-Tractor. This is
necessary, due to the fact that when
used as a tractor the speed rarely ex-
ceeds two and two and one-half miles
an hour while the engine is operating
approximately 1000 r. p. m. or a speed
sufficiently high to propel the Ford
car twenty to twenty-five miles per
hour. 1t is easily recognized that
under such conditions the Ford radi-
ator itself would be inefficient for the
proper cooling OF the engine.
Unlike the many complicated
tractors now being used on the farm,
Smith Form-a-Tractor requires no
special knowledge for its operation.
Anybody who can run Ford can
easily run Smith Form-a-Tractor-
even a boy or woman.
II will easily be seen that this sim
plicity combined with the remarkable
working ability of Smith Form-a-
Tractor bids fair to be real solution
to the shortage of labor now con-
fronting the American farmers and to
the wasteful practice of maintaining
horses twelve months in the year for
three months work.
In view Of the present economic
conditions on the farm and the crying
need for labor saving machinery, par
ticularly machinery that will replace
horses and minimize farm labor, Il
can quickly be seen that tremendous
success is awaiting Smith Form-a-
Tractor.
