erous spectators. The tractor was at
the disposal of anyone who cared to
operate it and a considerable number of
farmers awaited themselves of the OPP
portunity to sit behind a Fordson. Two
tractors were used in the demonstra-
ton.
Ed Rudolph expressed some very dis
tinct views as to what he intended do
ing in the way of Fordson service. He
stated that tractor service is the most
difficult problem that those handling
tractors have to contend with. He re-
ferred to q conversation he had had
along this line with a prospective pur-
chaser who told him of a friend who
had lost money on his large farm be-
cause it was impossible for him to get
repair gears for his tractor inside OF
three weeks, and stated that the abil
ity to secure repair parts is very SEN
sitive subject to the farmer, and one
that is very vital to the future of the
tractor. Rudolph stated that in his
opinion the success of the tractor de-
pended upon speedy repairs and speedy
requirements, and he also stated he
assumed the responsibility of seeing
| that FordSon owners secured this nee
essary service.
! AS soon a. the tractor business justi-
| fies it, Rudolph intends keeping a ser
/ vice car constantly in commission,
manned by thoroughly competent me-
| chanics, who will spend their entire
| time on the road if necessary, so that
/ car owners may be visited periodically
their machines carefully inspected and
such precautionary measures taken as
will anticipate and prevent future
trouble.
Rudolph intends TO put the same
ideas of service into the tractor bust
ness that he has employed so success
fully in the motor car business. Fol
instance, he has at the present time or
order a specialized motor truck which
will be used in tractor service. This
will have the requisite speed to get
quickly to any point in the territory
where a tractor may have gotten into
difficulties. 1t will be equipped with
the necessary appliances for quick field
| repair, and where the trouble is SO seri-
Gus as to demand garage treatment
the truck, by a special arrangement
whereby the truck engine itself is used
will load the tractor quickly and easily
onto itself and transport it to the ga.
rage and back again to the field.
An extra tractor also will be main.
tanned in service and when a farmer.
tractor must go to the garage for re
pair, the service tractor will be takeI
to his farm on the truck and vented t.
him until his own is again ready fo
work
This coming week the Fordson will
be used with the pulley attachment
connected TO an ensilage cutter on ]
w. Etter's ranch, Glandale avenue ant
lateral 14la. During the middle of tn
week the Fordson will also pull three
disc gang plow, cutting a milo maiz
field on the 20-acre ranch of Georg,
Pilchard, one-half mile north of tn
Washington school on lateral Ia. !
good sample of what the Fordson i
capable of doing can also be seen a

CHEAP SPRING GREASE
popular Mechanicsl

An excellent grease for inserting be-
tween the leaves of motor car springs
can be made by melting several candles,
and adding a small quantity of flake
graphite. When this is placed between
the blades of springs, its replenishment
is very seldom needed, as it resists the
effect of water and heat better than the
lighter lubricants. Rust formation is
prevented, and besides adding to the life
of the spring it makes the vehicle ride
easier

COMPANY FORECASTS
BIC TIRE BUSINESS

The Central Auto Supply company,
sole distributors for Miller tires, is In
receipt of the following letter from the
Miller Rubber company:
when peace terms have finally
been agreed upon, we anticipate an
increased business over an indefinite
length of time and preparations have
been made accordingly reads a state
ment just issued by Jacob Pfeiffer,
president of the Miller Rubber COM
pany of Akron, Ohio. The widely
known geared -to-the- road tires and
drug sundries comprise the principal
products of this large concern.
THE Miller Rubber company is to-
day in the best condition of its whole
history continues the statement.
For the first time in years our build
ing operations are complete, at pres
ent, and we find ourselves in position
to accomplish an annual business
turnover of between s3O,OOO,OOO and
$40,000,000.
practically all of the war orders
that have taken up SO much of our
time have been cancelled, but, because
all of our old going departments re-
manned absolutely intact, we were able
to switch off from the war work to
regular production without much trou-
BILE. With splendid resources in the
way of buildings and equipment at our
command, we do not require much re-
adjustment from a war basis to a
peace basis.
while it is true that we cannot de-
termine at this time just how long
certain government restrictions may
remain in effect concerning the pro-
duction of rubber goods, we believe we
will be permitted to produce a suffi-
cient output of tires to furnish worl,
/ for all our former employees, who are
now in military service, as soon as
they return, as well as retain those

FLU VACCINE
Physicians, In Response To
Request Of Citizens Com
mittee, Make Statement
Regarding Its Efficiency

In discussing the use of influenza
vaccine in connection with the cpl
demic, the citizens committee has re-
quested the physicians advisory COM
mittee to issue whatever statement
they think proper in this connection.
The physicians committee, in order
to answer the frequent query as to the
attitude of the doctors on the use of
vaccine, present the following state
ment signed by q of the 26 practicing
physicians of the city:
Statement
In order to lend support to the eff
fort to secure a more general use of
the influenza vaccine in Phoenix and
vicinity and thus assist in raising the
quarantine permanently and safely,
the undersigned physicians join in the
following statement, relative to the use
of vaccine:
I'VE have used the influenza -pneu-
mococcic vaccine during the present
epidemic and our experience has been
that those persons who take the vac
cine and then contract influenza, run
a milder course of the disease and
have a quicker recovery and that,
among them, pneumonia either has not
occurred at all, or in rare instances
only.
I'VE recommend the use of the vac
cine by every person in good health,
| who has not already received it, and
we believe the quarantine can be
raised with more hope of permanency
! if the public is more generally pro-
| tected by vaccination"

Experience at Camp Upton
The report of the vaccinations
against pneumonia made at Camp Up
ton, IL. L.. base hospital, in February
of this year, has just been made pub
lie by the surgeon general. There were
1900 troops vaccinated and 10000
troops used as a control. There ar,
four types of pneumococci, and the
soldiers were vaccinated against three
types, because experience had shoWr
| that little immunity could be produced
| gainSt the fourth type. Among the
| 1900 troops no cases of pneumonia
occurred of the three types vaccinateC
against, nine cases of the fourth type
occurred and eight cases of streptococ
Gus pneumonia, against which no vac.
| cine was used.
Among the 10000 unvaccinatet
troops, there were 17S cases of pneu
monia of all types.
In other words, there was absolute
protection against the bacteria which
cause IS per cent of the pneumonias
and partial protection GROUP immun
ity) against the remainder.
On the basis of this experience, vac
cination against pneumonia is now be
ing recommended in the base hospital
of the army. What has been done Their
can be done in civilian practice, is tn
belief of the physicians advisory com
mittee, based on the practical expert
ence of the doctors of the communit!
who have vaccinated approximate
, 10000 people. with the general resu
/ given in the statement above.

when conditions in the automobile

Silk "F1u" Germ
ON Your Mask
Is --latest Fad
Have you seen him?

Have you seen him?
He's the flu germ, and he made
his first appearance to the naked
eye in the office of the board of
supervisors. He was clearly visible
to anyone entering the office yes
terday.
He was conspicuous from where
he aIighted on the gauze mask
worn by Miss Marion Grau, a dep
uty in the office. He was noted on
the left lower hand corner of the
mask and he took the form of lit
tie red devil.
For. be it known, the new fad
among the merry maids of the
mask is to conceive their own idea
of the flu germs and embroider him
on the mask. The most original in
depreciation to date is conceded to
be Miss Grau's, to whom credit for
starting the vogue in fancy flu
masks is due.

DOUGLAS CITY COUNCIL
 MAKES PROTEST AGAINST
 TRANSFORMATION CONDITIONS

DOUGLAS, March 19.-Owing to the threatened destruction of the fishing industry in this portion of the Territory through lack of ship ping facilities, the city council at it's meeting last night adopted the following resolution:
 Resolved, that the Douglas City Council go on record as recommend ing in behalf of the Douglas citizens, and the best interests of our city, that immediate action be taken by the Council of Defense relative to the present steamer schedules, which threaten to totally destroy the fish ing industry of the Channel"
 There was considerable discussion of present shipping facilities when the above resolution was presented, it being shown that three steamers, the Jefferson, Spokane and Seattle, had all sailed from here early Sun day within a few hours and that the Spokane will be the next steam CT on which fish can be shipped from Douglas to Seattle which means that the business of buying fish here will be practically at a standstill for, at least. the remainder of the present week The members of the council were unanimous in expression that the matter should be brought be- fore the various transportation com panies at the earliest possible date as it is believed something will be done by them to relieve the pres ent situation-that of three steam CTS sailing south within few hours and none going again for ten days or more.
 Tn discussing the situation this morning number of business men expressed themselves as wishing to confine the shipping of fish between Channel points and Seattle to the American boats if it is possible to do so for two reasons: First, that Seattle is more desirable market than the Canadian ports, and, second, that there are more American steam CTS operated than Canadian and that shipping on the former should be more frequent than on the latter. E. E. Smith, agent for the Alaska Steam ship Company at this place, is taking the matter of having the big steam CTS plying on the westward run call at this port on their way south for the purpose of taking on fish ship ments As the balance of the steam CTS plying the SoundAlaska route make calls here, it is believed suit able schedules can be arranged. It is realized, however, that conditions as they exist at present will drive the fishing fleet now operating out of Gastineau Channel elsewhere as it is but natural that those engaged in the business should take their cargo to where they are certain of a market.
 The matter will be taken up by the Douglas Island Council of De- fense to be held at the regular meet ing place next Sunday at ? o'clock.
