WATCH WEATHER FORECAST"

Shippers of food and other pro-
ducts liable to injury from freezing
are urged to watch the daily fore
casts issued by the Weather Bureau
station during the winter In cities
and towns of considerable size, of
minimum temperatures expected to
occur within a shipping radius of
one day or two days of the station.
These forecasts may be had by tele-
phoning or telegraphing the Wea-
Their Bureau office, or arrangements
may be made In advance to have
them sent as desired. When freez-
ing temperatures are forecast, ship
ments may be given adequate pro-
lection or delayed until conditions
change, or If they are en- route ord
ers may be telegrapbed to have them
placed in shelter. Experience of
large produce-shipping firms, as Civ
en- in their voluntary testimony, is
that as a result of careful attention to
these forecasts their losses from
freezing of goods in transit have been
negligible. The Importance of this
service is thought to be especially
great during the war, with its food
necessity.

TRACTOR NOTES

Its hard to give any particular per-
son credit for the success Of the dem
onstration, but it is certain that it
would not have been success with
out a crowd and crowd could not
have been secured without advertis-
ing. Will H. Holbein, secretary of
the Association of Commerce handled
the advertising and secured the as
sistance of the various tractor COM
panies and newspapers in getting the
matter before the public. Mr.. Hol-
bein demonstrated that he is a past
master in the advertising game.
All tractor men on the ground are
favorable to annual tractor demon
stration at Minot.
Politics were tabooed at the tractor
meet. The tractor men and farmers
were there for business alone.
Ted Whitman, by his foresight brot
over $4OO worth of business to the
Red Cross Wednesday afternoon by
establishing a refreshment stand on
the starting line.
The Association of Commerce had
an information bureau tent on the
grounds, until the high wind of to-
day blew it down.
The Advance-Rumely Co. was well
represented at the demonstration by
the following: C. J. Farney, Fargo,
the manager and the following sales
men: B. A. Tarplee, Fargo; o. W.
Swingseth, Devils Lake; O. 7. David
son, Crosby; A. A. Koontz, Williston;
John A. Green, Glasgow; D. J. Woll,
Harvey and A. N. Johnson, Minot.
This afternoon thirty tractors were
lined up and all worked on one land
in unison, blowing a strip of land $50
feet wide at one time across the field
This was an unusual sight.
