Wilson urging it as war measure.
This motion met with the unanimous
approval of the Federation.
Mrs. Britton and Mrs. Dickinson,
who We're delegates from the Art CLUB
to the District Federation at Ray gave
very interesting messages from that
meeting. Various lines Of activities
were urged upon club women by the
speakers at Ray, among them garden
ing, food conservation, assistance in
Fed Cross work, advertising of the ef-
ficiency of the Minot Y. W. C. A, as
sistance in the Student Loan Fund
and eradication of the barGerry bush.
Minot club women are already active
ly interested in many of these prob
lens, but are urged to redouble their
efforts in the present crisis and to
avoid duplication of effort and waste
of energy by cooperation with other
organizations.
The annual election then took place
and the following officers were chosen
for the ensuing year:

CASE SCHOOL
OPENS June 9TH
Noted Gas Engine Expert Will Be
Here-Immense Business in Farm
Tractors This Season

Marius Erickson, local manager for
the Case Threshing Machine Co., re-
turned Tuesday from a trip to the
western headquarters of the Case Co.
at Fargo. He was accompanied by H.
II. Hogy of Burlington, who purchased
one of the largest sized tractors man
ufactured by the Case company, which
he will use in breaking up three sec
tons of bottom land in Montana prep
aratory to seeding to flax next season.
The tractor purchased is a 10 horse
power, coal burner and pulls ten or
more breaker bottoms. 1t is a huge
machine and even in Montana where
tractors are universally used it will
make the natives "sit up and take
notice." Mr.. Hogy has associated
with him in his immense enterprise
two other Burlington citizens, Messrs.
Gross and J. Y. Millar and operations
will begin as soon as the outfit can be
assembled at Kintrye, Montana.
Last week Manager Erickson sold an
80 horsepower steam engine to Her.
man Helming Of Lansford. A 20-40
tractor was sold to w. A. Hunt Of
brady and another brady farmer, j.
H. Reavis, bought a 1910 tractor,
making the fourth tractor which
Mr.. Reavis has purchased of the Case
company-pretty satisfactory evidence
Of the good qualities of this make of
engines. This week Aaron Erickson,
the "Big Swede," from Niobe, was
down, accompanied by his brother,
Matt, and bought a 120-40 tractor,
which will be used in putting in 1000
acres of crop in the vicinity Of Niobe
this year. The "Big Swede" is noted
no less for his immense size than for
his splendid business ability, being
recognized as one of the most pro-
gressive and hustling merchants in
Niobe where he owns a large mercan-
tile establishment. 1t should be kept
in mind as we'll that Aaron is prob
ably the best natured Scandinavian in
the great Northwest.
This year the demand for quick and
efficient farm work has been instru-
mental in bringing the farm tractor
into it's own. No argument is now
necessary to convince the public as to
its superiority over the ordinary horse
power when it comes to heavy work or
work requiring immense labor within

shown an outfit consisting of a 1925
separator with attachments, which
makes perhaps one Of the most
ideal equipments for threshing we
have ever seen, and a rig that will
prove a money-maker. The tractor
problem is giving dealers much con-
cern these days on account of lack of
sufficient supply to meet the demand.
This taken in connection with freight
troubles is now making the life of an
implement dealer anything but pleas
ant dream these days. The Minot
house has just received a carload of
repairs which will be welcome news to
many users of the various Case pro-
ducts, who may be IN need of some
thing in that line.
While at Fargo arrangements were
completed whereby Case School Of
Instruction will be held in Minot on
June 4 and 5. All Case dealers will
gather at Minot, including every deal
