THE TRACTOR |S AN
 EV0[UT|ONEER OF
 MOST FARM WORK
By Ernest G. Coan, Advertising Man
 ager, Pratt Gilbert Co.

No man can predict, with any eX- actness, to what length the tractor will modify present day farming methods. But it is being demonstrated without any doubt that as fast as the manufacturers can turn out machines farming methods are changing from animal to mechanical power.
 Even the 'doubting Thomas who has for years been pitying the farmer who was inveigled by a dealer into purchasing a tractor is confessng. The tractor is following in the foot steps of the reaper and binder, in that it does more work in less time and with less labor.
 A report from a Colorado rancher, who farms 600 acres with an S-16 Avery tractor, with farming condi- tions very similar to our own here is very interesting:
 One man, months. at S65 a

to at least eight horses. If you figure the cost of feeding one horse at $13S.02, it will cost S1,104.16 to feed eight horses. The cost of fuel and oil for the tractor is S333.45. The difference in cost in favor of the tractor is S770.71. Furthermore, 1t requires only one man to operate the tractor. It would require at least two men to drive the eight horses, which means the additional expense of one man. More time is required to take care of eight horses than to take care of two tractors and counting the cost of eight horses and harness, it would mean twice the amount invested in horses as in the tractor. The depreciation on the eight horses and eight sets of har ness would certainly be much more than on the tractor. and the inter- est on the investment of the tractor would be at least twice as large"
 This rancher forgot to include some thing in his comparison. When his tractor is not at work. it is put in a shed, does not have to be fed nor cared for. while horses require feed and a man to take care of them
 In conclusion, I want to say, that perhaps we cannot get along without horses entirely, but the great majority of farmers will put more dollars in their pockets by having tractor and many man is paying for a tractor even though he does not own one

privates. The other 15.000 are subject to promotion immediately as their abi- lity is shown. There are 1900 COT porals. 4,000 sergeants, 250 first ser geants, 2,400 sergeants of the first class, and 200 sergeants in the senior grade.
 The cash pay of these men will range from $50 per month for privates to $S1 a month for sergeants in the senior grade. Married men are to comply with the government regula- tions in so far as the care of their family is concerned. in which the gov ernment gives great assistance.
 The inducted married man must make an allotment to his wife of s15 per month, to which Uncle Sam will add s15 if he is childless, $25 if there is one child, s32.50 for two children, s5 a month for each additional child. He will also be given the privilege of subscribing for war risk insurance at the government rate.
 That Phoenix and Arizona is not slow to respond to the call of the army is illustrated by the fact that, in spite of the meager publicity given the call, headquarters at the Chamber of Commerce were crowded yesterday with mechanics and those who wanted to take advantage of induction into the motor corps and the wonderful opportunity offered for immediate service in France
 The almost universal inquiry of every applicant was how soon will I be able to get over to France" When assured that they would most likely be on their way within 30 days, the men filled out their application blanks joyously.
 Treat 'em rough" The slogan of those men in the service detailed to the tanks seemed to be the idea of every man who wanted to enlist.
 Say, what's the chance to drive d tank?" was about the first query of most of the applicants. When told they would probably be given oppor- tunity for service in these machines which are so particularly distasteful to the Hun soldier, they seemed perfectly satisfied.
 More than 30 telegrams, were re- ceived at Phoenix headquarters yes terday from nearby towns including Tucson Globe, Miami and Prescott. These inquiries prove the wisdom of the Chamber of Commerce and the business men of Phoenix who were in strumental in having a recruiting headquarters here in Phoenix, there by giving Arizonians the opportunity of enlisting here instead of applying to a more distant point.
 W. c. Roe of Fl Paso general re- cruiting officer for the southwest, who was instrumental in having PhoenlX named as a recruiting point, was wired yesterday by Lieutenant Conger and advised that Phoenix had compiled with all government requests. pledged the advertising necessary and was giv- ing every assistance to the campaign. R. A. Kirk in charge of local recruit ing last night received the following telegram from MT. Roe
 HI. H. Edmonds, special Washing ton representative of the motor trans port corps and myself appreciate Phoe- nix attitude in connection with Gen. eral Pershing's urgent call and MT. Edmonds has so advised Washington. We anticipate reaching Phoenix Mon day morning and give the work of re-
 cruiting our personal attention for two days"

Cadill0c Built
 From Scrap Pile
 Does 22 M.P.H.

The present war stringency of CadiIlacs holds no worries for J. C. Sweeney, of. Champaign. Ill.,, who recently rebuilt 1912 car out of odds and ends from Cadillac scrap pile.
 "This car proves, better than anything know of, the inter- changeablity of Cadillac parts" writes MT. Sweeney. 'l started with a 1912 motor and frame. l have in the car a 1914 two speed axle, a 1915 night rear hub. 1913 left front hub. rear lenders and upholstery.
 "Everything on the car is stand ard Cadillac material except the body and top, which are my own design. The 1914 rear axle went under the 1912 chassis without any fitting. The brake rods, springs and drive shaft were also a perfect fit.
 "This scrap car has done 72 miles an hour, and have driven it 453 miles in nine hours"

MINING MEN If STATEF0RMNEW
 ASSOCIATION
More Than Two Score Com pleted New Organization
 In Phoenix For Mutual
 Benefit Of Industry

Without oStentation or blare of trum- pets about two score of Arizona's lead ing mining representatives met quietly at the Adams hotel in Phoenix Satur- day afternoon, October P. and formed an association designed for mutual in- terest and progress of the leading in dustry of the state.
 It was not a public gathering. but rather a conference of guests of the hotel which met in the hotel parlors to discuss and consider questions that called for self-sacrifice and patriotism on the part of those engaged in an in dustry which is essential to the govern ment at this critical time, with it's handicaps of war, labor shortage and epidemics.
 Organization Formed
 After a day of caucussing in the hotel lobby and corridors a. general concensus of ideas terminated in the formation of a permanent organization with a defi- nite policy that embraces practically all the mining men of the state.
 Private discussion was followed by impromptu talks in the hotel parlors. the upshot of which was the hasty call ing of committee on organization by
  II a. m In a few moments there was a definite outline of procedure formu- lated and adjournment was had until 2 o'clock in the afternoon, when the various committees reported.
 Two Score Sign
 The committee on organization and order of business reported in favor of making the temporary chairman and secretary permanent; the name and title of the organization. after many suggestions and some discussion, was decided upon and officially announced as the Arizona Mining Mems Associa- tion.'' An enthusiastic debate as to the objects and purposes of the new or ganization brought forth frequent ap- plause.
 A membership roll was drawn up and nearly two score signatures were ap- pended. Then, following out the suS- gestions of the committees report, Chas. P. Reininger was elected presi- dent and W w. Lawhon, secretary; | Cleve W. NanDyke and Edward Bush were elected first and second vice presidents, followed by w. S. Humbert as treasurer.
 Name IS Directors Fifteen directors then were chosen. representing nearly every district in the state, as follows: J. J. Hannigan, | T. O. MeGrath, Wm. McDermott, H. c. Harrison, Dave Morgan, J. B. Harper. W. E. Twitchell. B. A Gillespie. W. J. Graham, John Fowle, A. Smith, Murray Day, B. Rosenberg, Ezra Thayer and 1 D. W. Hall.

better ifa little immature. Cabbage
celery and root crops keep best at low

The Spanish Influenza

During the past week there have
been a number of deaths in Wahpeton

funerals were private, and no complete
reports, it has been difficult to get the
facts. We have learned of the follow
ing deaths during the past week:
Mr.. M. Olson of Dwight died last
Saturday and was buried Monday at
Dwight. MIR. Olson was young man
and married.
John Lehna, young married man,
living north of the pumping station.
was another victim. He died after a
very short illness.
Last week we reported the death OF
one of the small children Of Mr.. and
Mrs. Bullock, living west of the Mil
waukee railroad. Since then there
has been another small child in the
same family to fall a victim of the
dread disease.
Mr.. Carl Fletcher, one of the teach
ers at the Indian School was another
young man that was unable to with
stand the ravages of the disease:
Louise Wadena an Indian girl died
Monday and was buried Wednesday.
Harold Nelson the 4 months old son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Chris. Nelson, living

During each of my campaigns for

great ability and eloquence upon the
stump. When he was member OF
the legislature 1 relied upon him
more than any other man in the leg

dence in him was not misplaced. He
never deceived me and we were in
hearty accord in every administrative
act. He has keen, analytical, log

farmer and business man, together
with his known honesty and SINGER

knowing Mr.. Doyle's record as

read in the Nonpartfsan papers before
the primaries and since that the re-
actionaries in the democratic party
and republican party were supportins:
Doyle. If this statement is true that
the reactionaries in the two old par

they elect him believing that he will
