Warm Weather Is Not
Unusual, States Horton

Warm weather in late October IS
not so strange as it seems. for the
average date of the first killing frost
in the autumn for the past "a years
is November s. according to E. C. Hor-
ton, observer for the United States
weather bureau. although a few lish.
frosts here usually made their appear
ance before October 26.
The earliest date of the first killing
frost in the last "a years was October
81, 1913. while the latest date of the
first killing frost in the last "a years
was November 2S. 1902.
The records show that the first kill
ing frost has occurred in October
about one third of the years of rec
ord and in November about two thirds.
With the exception of November rs.
1902, and November 25, 1918, the first
killing frost has always occurred De-
fore November 20.

TRACTOR FEATURES
 ALWAYS ESSENTIAL
Ernest c. Coan, Advertising Manager
 Pratt Gilbert Co.,.

PrafS-GttO6Tt Sos
 When you look at the Avery line or tractors, two importank facts Will aL- tract your attention immediately First, Avery tractors are different. The de- sign is distinctive. Six sizes of trac- tors are all built alike of the same standardized design in sizes to exactly fit the needs of every size ranch.
 Even without a detailed investiga- ton of all the facts about Avery ma chinery that you should know, this one thing stands out stronger as proof of the success of Avery design-that these tractors are the only make built in so many sizes all of the same de- sign. The design, therefore, must be success or the same type would not have been built in so many sizes and could not have reached the state of success which it has reached today, namely the fact that Avery tractors are being successfully used in every state, in the union and 63 foreign coun- tries.
 You may ask in your mind. why do not other makes of tractors look like the Avery. This is a very simple question to answer. for this reason: The Avery tractor design is based op seven primary essentials or exclusive features, all of which are the subject of patents pending in the United States patent office.
 Exclusive Features
 First comes the Avery patented slid ing frame which provides a direct transmission in high, low, reverse, or in the belt-with only one clutch When operating in the belt, the power of the belt wheel is gotten directly from the motor without passing through gears. In traction work, the power of the motor is-delivered to the drawbar through three shafts, two of which are the crankshaft and rear axle, only six gears and only three gear contacts. This patented sliding frame transmission, therefore is an ideal arrangement for a transmission unit and results in simplicity, access ibility and the least percentage of fric- -tion loss of power.
 The second exclusive feature is the

CHALLENGE ISSUED ID LOWER EXPENSE
 0F LONG JOURNEY

Arizona motorists who pride them selves on their ability to economically operate their cars are challenged to produce better record in mechanical economy than that recently made in a run from Golden Gate to Cumberland Gap and return. And this is the way the challenge came about:
 Roy F. Newman of Bakersfield, Cali fornia, considers himself 100 per cent efficient in using motor cars. That his Judgment is good is proven by the fact that he recently drove his Post War Maxwell Touring car with his wife and children to the noted Ten nessee mountains-6,O00 miles for the round trip-at mechanical cost of S3.2S. Now he's out with a challenge to anyone on the Pacific Coast to better that record.
 We had the greatest trip of our lives" MT. Newman told R. A. Roper, We were gone three months. We drove 6,216 miles and averaged 22 miles to a gallon of gasoline. in spite of the fact that we crossed thiry-two noun tain ranges, negotiated the National Old Trails, visited the Grand Canyon, the Painted Desert, the Petrified For est. the Indian PuebIos and made the La Bajada grade in New Mexico. And, by the way, we made the thirty two hairpin turns on Mount La Bajada all on high or intermediate gear, never once going into low gear with our Max well, and at Santa Fe they told Us that had never been done before by any automobile
 That wonderful economy was made. too, in spite of the condition of the roads. We pulled POI miles of heavy sand and mud roads in Northern Ari- zona and across the desert and we made the entire trip through Missouri and Tennessee across terrific eumbo flats in a downour of rain so heavy that they called it the worst storm in

 Coming west we took another route, coming by way of Colorado Springs, the Royal Gorge and Tennessee Pass, which we crossed at an elevation of 11.000 feet. Went down the Grand Canyon of Colorado. past Glenwood Springs and on our road to Salt Lake City crossed seven mountain ranges, all in excess of mile and a half above sea level. In my opinion-after mak- ing these terrific grades-there never

has been another touring car that can stand rough stuff driving like the Post War Maxwell of the present day. Part of the trip was made in mud up to the hubs and yet we had no mechanical trouble.
 West of Salt Lake City the Lin- coin Highway is in terrific condition and I would strongly advise everyone to avoid its deep ruts. the heavy sand pulling and the alkaIi flats of that route in Western Nevada. Crossing
