One-Piece Crankshaf

The crankshaft is drop-forged from
heat treated carbon steel in single
piece. Balancing weights are integral
with the shaft. The shaft is d inches
in diameter. Sturdy, but not heavy.
Rigid. Strong. It is balanced while
rotating at fast rate of speed, on a
unique machine. This helps you to un-
derstand why the Chalmers motor is
so smooth.

ANOTHER YEAR

The New Year will be ushered in
which have no parallel in the his
tory Of the world. Civilized nations
are banded together in an effort to
stem the tide of the Boche invasion,
which, If successful, would enslave
the civilized nations.
There had been two and n half
years Of the war before the United
States threw into the Allied balance
the weight of its gold, provisions
and manufactured products. We have
not yet added the weight Of our arms
and men, and we shall not be able
to do this for some months yet.
Belgium and France have borne the
brunt of the attacks of the savage
hordes of Germany and Austro-
Hungary. Rumania has suffered, ms
have the Armenians; and now a gil
xantic army of Germans and Aus
trians is hammering hard upon gal
Isnt Italy.
In the meanwhile, the United States
has grown rich. Not what we have
taken any undue profit from the
stricken couItries; but in the natur-
al COURSE of business the gold re-
serve has steadily accumulated here.
The Allies needed the supplies and
munitions which we were prepared
to furnish, and consequently our
bank balances began to bulge.
The war is imposing a strain upon
the people, but the people have been,
and are. prosperous; and the peo-
pie, with true American patriotism
and generosi y have met every de-
mand hat has been made by Liber-
ty Loans, Red Cross, Y. M. c. A.,
Armenian and Belgian relief. Sub
sequent appeals will meet with the
same generous response.
New Mexico has had its share of
the prosperity. Notwithstanding he
drouth, which laid a heavy hand alike
upon farmer and ~stockman, there is
al enormous sum in the bank bal
ances of the state-a vast deal great
err than ever before. The end Of the
new year will mark no lessening of
the material prosperity for the state
as a whole. Labor for planting and
harvesting the next crop is likely t.
be scarce and every man who is able
to work will have to render service
to the state and the nation.
II is a time for resolutions of high
'ads1 az o. Pus sPrm az o, ssodInd
New Mexicans will make these reso-
lutions and will keep them.

Many Hundreds Farmers in Central West
Texas Becoming Independent Growing The
Nut.
There is situated in the Central Western
portion Of Texas a scope OF territory known
as the Peanut Belt: The soil, a rich sandy
loam, and the mild, even climate are con-
dusive to the culture of White Spanish
Peanuts, as well cotton, fruit, vegetables,
corn, wheat and oats. In fact almost any
farm product which can be produced in any
part Of the South can be successfully grown
here.
The center of this fortunate territory Is
De Leon, in the northern portion OF Co.
manche county. De Leon has a new 100000.
peanut factory and peanut oil mill which
furnishes employment to IFS people--men
and women, The population Of the town
is around 1900.
The price OF land in this section is so
to SO. per acre. Farms with good i'm.
provements can be bought a t$25 an acre.
A small cash payment can usually be paid
down with liberal terms or balance. M.
nerous instances can be given where enough
peanuts have been produced in one year
to more tina npay for the land. One case
can be sighted and affidavit produced where
land this year produced SIPS. per acre, in
peanuts and peanut hay. Peanuts this fall
are worth on local market around $1.7S
per bushel; peanut hay around so the ton.
