Chas. Livesley Buys
First FOrdsOn Tractor

He had never seen a Fordson tract
or but was willing to take chance.
Chas. Livesley buys the first Fordson
tractor. Letters in every mail. Even
those more anxious are sending tele-
grams wanting to know when they can
expect deliveries.
Practically the SAME spirit is shown
by those wanting ears. C. NJ. Roberts
of the Roberts Grocery gave his order
this morning for the first baby Over
land car, Although deliveries can not
be made until October first, Mr.. Rob
erts was quite willing to wait for the
baby Overland. 1t is the car that fills
the long felt need of those wanting
a small touring car with all the modern
conveniences for such a reasonable
amount of money.

Hints To Car Owners;
Don't Be HELPLESS

+. G. Delano, of the Salem Automo.
bile Co., Chevrolet dealers, takes the
position that ear users are entirely too
helpless when it comes to caring for
their machines and rely too much on
the other fellow to oil and make adj
justments when the owner could just
as well do the work himself, know that
the work was done right and save
much expense to- himself.
The time is now here when owners
will be compelled ITO look after the
minor adjustments ON their cars more
than ever before because of the scare
ity of mechanics. Our government
needs all, and more, mechanics than
the supply will warrant, and this con-
dition puts the garages and service
stations in a position where they can
not take care of the increasing bust
ness as they did before the war.
How often do we see an owner go
to some garage for the most trivial
adjustment, such as taking the rattle

TRY TO SETTLE WIRE CONTROL
By L. O. Martin

Washington, July 13.-The senate
went to work on the wire control bill
today, determined to dispose of it by
highland then 60 home.
If the measure is passed and the
house is agreeable a joint resolution
may send congress off on its vacation
tonight until late in August-probably
series of three day recesses.
Failing in this, it is the plan Of house
and senate leaders to act separately un.
der "gentleman's agreement" that
no business shall be transacted until
August 26, in the senate at least.
But even this plan is contingent up
on agreement between senate vets and
drys. Vets want to make prohibition
the unfinished business, agreed to keep
it continuously before the senate, after
the recess, until disposed of. Drys insist
on fixing a definite date for vote

Washington, July 2s.-Orders calling off the threatened strike of seamen and firemen on the Great Lakes set fer tomorrow were issued today by Victor A. Orlander, secretary of the Sailor g union of the Great Lakes, and other union leaders. following a conference with Chairman Hurley of the shipping board.
 In meeting all grievances given by the men for strike, Chairman Hurley today ordered the Lake Carriers as- sociation and all it's members to sign to the nations appeal for men for merchant ships "as originally drafted and without any changes" He also ordered the association not to require seamen to register in it's shipping off, ficss or assembly rooms, pending fur ther negotiations
 Washington, July 2s.--Independent shipowners on the Great Lakes and the unions were called upon by Mir. Hur- ley to send representatives to Wash ington Wednesday for a conference on the pending wage demands of sea- men. firemen, and stewards. Both union leaders and officials of the ship, ping board said wage questions cannot provoke strike. as employers and men are said to be willing to arbi- trate.
 At two-hour conference between the union leaders and officers of the shipping board today, it was pointed out again to the men that tie-up of lake shipping would interrupt food shipments to the soldiers overseas in addition to hampering war operations through interference with the move ment of coal and ore

are considerably in advance of the line as announced officially.
 Where the Germans are in retreat from the south the cavalry has been brought into tho fighting and numerous tanks and machine guns in profusion are everywhere marrying the enemy, whose losses are heavy.
 Meantime airplanes are flying over the retreating hordes. dropping bombs, while the big allied guns from the sides of the salient are keeping up their intensive firing from all angles into the densely congested area.
 NOT YET A ROUT
 The retreat of the enemy has by no means become rout, and so long as the picked troops around Soissons and Rheims are able to keep we'll open the mouth O. the bag through which the Germans are falling back, it is expected that the greater portion of the armies of the crown prince will be successful in reaching, in order, the line where it IS intended for them to turn and make . stand.
 Just where this stand will be made is rroblematical More than half the pocks, has been recaptured by the American, French, British and Italian troops op- posing the enemy, and there have as vet been no signs of a let-up in the retro grade movement. If, as some of the military critics have suggested, Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria purposes to start aa offensive against the Britt. h in France and Flanders as a diversion against the big battle now in progress, no signs of it are apparent at present. What little fighting has been going on in this region has been in the nature of patrol raids. in which the British have taken number of prisoners and ma chine guns.
