Iron Horse Is Permanent For
 Valley. belief

Since the advent of the Samson Sieve Grip tractor, in the Salt River valley last spring, the Arizona ranchers are beginning to realize that the Iron Horse has come to stay. The Samson tractor has rap- idly gained favor among ranchers, due to the fact that it cannes one step nearer than any other tractor, to fulfilling farm requirements. The patented sieve grip wheel of the Samson enables this machine to sc- compIish work on the farm that heretofore was unknown to tractor farmers.
 kilIefer deep tilIage tractor tools are now being sold by the local Samson dealers, the Whyman Ma chinery company. There are special tractor tools for use behind any tractor. They are manufactured in the west and are constructed to meet the requirements of heavy duty work.
 Carloads of both tractors and tools are now being distributed over the Salt River valley and adjoining ter ritory by the Whyman Machinery company and deliveries can be made with reasonable promptness. Farm implements are in the greatest demand in the history of our coun- try and the question in the future will be the farmers ability to buy what he wants when he is ready for it.

That there are enough high powered racing cars in Arizona, and enough expert drivers to handle them, to furnish a really high class automobile classic, was demonstrated New Years day at the state fair grounds track, when more than 5000 people were entertained with a program of genuine thriIlers.
 The little Overland which took honors at the state fair, repeat ed with another victory, taking first money in the 50 mile Ari- zona race. The most formid- able contenders were the Buick and the Jordan. The Buick looked like winner for while, but went out of commission. The sturdy little Overland pIowed on to victory, making speed of better than SO miles an hour during the entire run, with no stops. The Jordan took second money, and displayed the truth of it's owners claims that con- sistency and reliability were its predominant features.
 In the stock car races the Dodge brothers roadster, pur- chased from the used car de partment of McArthur Brothers won first place, and another Dodge car took third place. It is declared the little used road ster is capable Of running 68 miles an hour on straight, away.
 Motorcycle races and motor cycle exhibitions were hair rais- ing in the daring and gameness of the riders. The worlds rec ord is declared to have been broken by Price, who jumped from an inclined plank, a broad jump of S4 feet, 9Ia inches.
 The crowd attending the New Years day races was actually entertained and in the event there is another race arranged under the same conditions, it is believed the public will respond even more readily than before.

USED JAR WINS
 STOCK RACE IN
 NEW YEAR 5 DAY
DODGE BROTHERS ROADSTER COMES OUT ON LONG END
 OF AUTO CLASSIC

Dodge Brothers roadster purchased from McArthur Brothers used car de- partment won the five-mile race for stock cars at the fair grounds on New Years day in 6 minutes and II seconds. beating much larger cars.
 The car was driven by it's owner, Earl Nielsen, and although it was his first race he showed tact and judg- ment, taking advanJage of every op- portunity
 While the time was fast for a small car perhaps the most notable fact was that 1t was an old 1916 model Dodge that had been driven over 2S000 miles over all kinds of roads,
 Thero Is no question about it's being a stock car, for the record is clear, Ii was purchased new from McArthur Brothers early in 1916 by F. G. Twitch- ell who after driving it for nearly a year sold it to r. C. Reed of Glendale who in turn traded it to McArthur Brothers used car department, where il was purchased by Mir. Nielsen.
 The roadster was entered in the race without any changes, with the exception of minor adjustments,' says Mir. Nielsen, "even carrying the wind shield and top and l made one mile at the rate of 63 miles an hour and then had more speed had I required it."
 'I am confident" continued Mir. Niel- sen, that my Dodge will do 6S miles an hour"
 l.. C. James of McArthur Brothers used car department was as much pleased as Mr. Nielsen over the out come of the race. It shows, said James that my used cars are there with the speed as well as dependability and 1 am looking for Barney Oldfield or Louis Chevrolet to come to our used car mart most any day for car that has go in it."

TO BUILD SHIPS
 0V F0RD'S PLAN

Henry Ford's shipbulding plan, as explained by Ed Rudolph, contemplates using the same methods employed in the Ford automobile factory. There the cars are assembled as they move along on a track or belt which never stops. When the car reached the end of the belt it is completed. His ship building plan involves the same prin- ciple. A four rail track is to be con structed on a. per cent grade leading to the place of launching. This track can he several miles long. On it the ships will be constructed, the various parts being added as the ship moves along toward the water. This plan does not include the manufacture of any parts at the shipyard This would be done in factories throughout the country, each factory making only that part for which it is best equipped.
 According to MT. Rudolph, MT. Ford believes that one construction track would be capable of launching several ships a day. He estimates that

ed the attention Of medical men Of
