EDGAR BROTHERS
WRITE ON LABOR
SAVING TOOLS

The Edgar Brothers Company, in
furtherance of their policy to keep
always abreast of the times, sent a
representative to the Tractor Dem
onstration in Sacramento last week.
They report the demonstration was
we'll planned and managed, and at
tracted the attention of manufactur-
ers and distributors from all parts
of the country, but the attendance
was not up to expectations. Appar-
emily farmers of that section of the
country are too busy with the excel
lent crops they have this year.
The demonstration was held about
seven miles from the city of Sacra-
mentO in a rolling field covered with
wild oats and fringed with oak trees.
Scores of tents and hundreds of at
tendants gave the field the appear
ance of military encampment, which
illusion was heightened by the ma
neuvers of numerous aer0planes,
which daily aided in entertaining the
crowd. A huge tent near the main
entrance sheltered the numerous eX-
hibits of trucks, stationary engines,
accessories, etc. The many smaller
tents of individual exhibitors were
arranged in great hollow square
more than two miles in circumfer-
ence.
Every year two of these Demon
strations are held in the State of Cali
fornia-one in the northern part du-
ring the spring months and the other
in Los Angeles in the fall. They Of
fer farmers and dealers alike an en-
cellent opportunity to obtain infor-
nation regarding power farming,
which promises to become universal.
The prediction is frequently made
that in the near future horses and
mules will be used but little, if at
all, in farming operations. Small
tractors and stationary engines have
proven their ability to do the work
for less cost.
The Edgar Brothers Company were
pleased with the report of their rep
resentative regarding the perform
ance of the Moline Universal Tractor,
and the Titan and international trac-
tors, which they sell. The heavy
growth of wild oats made it pos
sible for the Universal to give a now
ing demonstration, which attracted a
great deal of favorable attention. The
S anne tractor was working also with
plows, disc harrows, seed drills and
other machines. all Of which were at
tached direct, so that one man could
operate both machine and tractor. The
makers of this tractor recently Of
fered a reward of $1,000 to the first
farmer naming a job of general farm
ing that can't be done with it. They
found no takers at the Sacramento
demonstration and they are not likely
to find any, for it is really the uni
versal tractor. :,
Every morning at 10 o'clock all
tractors lined up for a public plow-
ing demonstration. The Internation-

FRANCE RAPIDLY
GOES BACK TO
A PEACE BASIS
(By Associated press)

Paris, May (By mail)-Nearl.
all the French manufacturing estab
lishments which were converted into
plants for the making of war mate
rials at the outbreak of hostilities
have already returned to their peace
time work. Many others which were
created especially for war industries
have either been transformed or are
in the process of being transformed,
for employment in peace pursuits.
Generally speaking, there has been
reduction in the personnel employed
in all these plants, pending the COM
pletion of the alterations necessary in
the equipment. Some of the peace
time manufactures which were
adapted to war work will need COM
paratively few changes, but those es
Establishments which were born of the
war, such as aviation works, will have
to make important alterations.
Throughout the latter class of manu-
factories there has been a reduction
in the number of employees. Some
of the war plants, whose, contracts
have not yet expired, have kept part
of their personnel busy by reducing
the working day to nine, eight and
seven hours.
The effect on labor of the cessation
of hostilities may be seen from the
figures of employment in the great.
French industrial centers. In ten OF
these districts, from which reports
have been received, the total number
of plants engaged in war work was
952.. They employed before the ar
mistice 261,924 men and 109,775 wom-
en-. The total number or employees
has been reduced now to 1874 ,64S men
and AZ 76S women

SAVAGE TIRE CO.
WINS BIG ORDER
FOR TRUCK TIRES

One of the most important tire deals
made this year on the Pacific Coast
was consummated when the Savage
Tire Corporation of San Diego was
awarded the contract, in close eompe-
tition, to equip the forty-four large
auto busses operating in Yosemite
National Pank and for the exclusive
tire sales right in the park for the
1919 season, making it possible for
the thousands of motorists visiting
the park this summer to obtain tire
of exceptionally high quality.
The Savage tire is strictly home
product and is successfully competing
all over the world. The leading state
in Savage sales last year was Ne
braska, while the year before the Gin
cinnati, o., branch led.
The large plant in San Diego COW
ers whole city block and is a bee
hive of industry. An addition has
recently been made to meet the de-
mand for more room, due to the rap
idly-increasing popularity of Savage
products.
Having observed the large number
of Savage tires being used in the Val
ley and the universal satisfaction
which they are giving, the Imperial
Valley Hardware Company some
weeks ago began negotiations with
the Savage corporation for the Val
ley agency, with the result that a
deal has just been closed whereby the
well known Valley company takes
over the entire Savage distribution
here. The Savage factory being so
near the Valley, the purchasers are
always assured of getting god, fresh
stock, which means large additional
mileage, as rubber deteriorates rap
idly if not used for some time.
Today the branch managers of the
Imperial Valley Hardware Company's
seven stores are in San Diego, where
they will visit the Savage plant and
witness the evolution of tires from
the crude rubber fresh from the plan
tations of India and Brazil, to the
finished nroduct, turned out under the
direction of highly trained workmen.
The branch managers expect to re-.
turn to the Valley Sunday.

QUALITY TIRES
ENSUEO BUYING
U. S. PRODUCTS

Few articles of commerce offer SO
many, opportunities for covering up
poor quality and faulty construction
as do automobile tires. A cookbook
ing outside covering may be only a
shell within which are hidden shOddy
materials and bungling workmanship.
The United States Tire Company
cites this fact as reason why motor
lists who want good service from their
tires are buying in enormously in
creasing quantities the good tires"
made by the company whose steady
devotion to quality has made it the
largest rubber company in the world.
United States tires are made from
the best materials and by the best
makers. Such a combination ought to
produce tires of the finest quality,
and most manufacturers would be
content to go no further. But in this
company's factories every step in the
process of manufacture is watched
by trained inspectors whose duty it
is to find flaws, and whose pay in
creases as the number of flaws dis
covered increases.
One out of every twelve employees
is an inspector, and on the more i'm
portant operations, one out of each
eight employees spends all his time
looking for inperfections.
The company believes that it owes
this carefulness as a duty to the great
army of motorists who have placed
their faith in United States tires.
Imperial Valley press., 1919-05-17

al Harvester Company had three trac-
tors in those demonstrations-7-the SIG
international, the 1920 Titan and the
1880 International, and their per-
formance was superior in every re-
spect. The 8-16 was pulling three
1O-inch plows, the 1920 three 12-
inch plows, and the 1880 four ~
inch blows. All We're plowing to a
depth of approximately 8 inches. They
moved with good speed and their
work was as smooth as the most ex-
acting farmer could expect. These
are the tractors which have proved
very popular among valley ranchers.
Edgar Bros. Company introduced the
1920 here several years ago and many
of them are still doing good service
along with the new models. The past
season has been the best tractor sea-
son in the experience of the CON-
pany, about thirty of these interna-
tional tractors being delivered to
ranchers.
The international Harvester Com
pany is the acknowledged leader in
the gasoline tractor field, as well as
in the field of harvesting and thresh-
ing machinery. 1t has now rounded
out it's line by purchasing the Parlin
& Orendorff factory, which makes a
variety of plows, cultivators, plant
ers, etc. The International Harves-
ter Company now has the most COM
plete line of farm machinery in ex-
iStence.

ROAD To VALLEY
VITALITY NEEDED

i1OR several years the farmers of
II Coachella and Imperial Valleys
have been praying that their Sec
tlons might be connected with Los An
geles by means Of rapid motor transit.
These prayers will be answered In Au-
gust, when the people Of California ap-
prove by their vote the proposed appro-
priatiOn Of $40, ,00O, 900 for the completion
of the present State Highway system.
In no place in California Is a paved
road so badly needed as across the
stretch of country from Banning to
Brawley. The people Of Imperial Valley
who wish to visit Los Angeles. must
now either take long route through
San Diego or follow the rough, sandy
and dusty road along theF SaltOn Sea.
NJ. d. Bixby, branch manager OF the
y. Il. Goodrich Rubber Company in Los
Angeles, Joined forces with&F.> S. How
ard of the Howard Auto Co., Buick dis
tributers, and sent a stock car over the
road to map and photograph the route
Of the proposed highway. The laterals
from the Los Angeles end need little I'M
provement, as there. are good paved
highways via the Foothill Boulevard and
also via Cotton avenueafyoH Los eAngeles
through San Bernardin0 sRpas Coltonf to
Iedlands. The dirt road from Redlands
to Beaumont will be paved rNnder plans

When the entire system of roads
planned in San Diego, Imperial and
Riverside counties and the State of
California is finished, it will mean
an excellent highway from the city
of Riverside to Westmoreland, Impe-
rial county, and part of the Ocean
to-Ocean highway.
Imperial county is planning bond
issue of 81 SOC, 900 for it's county high
ways, to connect with the highway
system planned by the state.
This desert road will be one of the
most important in Southern Califor-
MIA, as it will tap the great valleys
of Imperial and Coachella, and with
an improved highway into the Palo
Verde valley, will be the beginning of
system that will ultimately mean
more than any other one thing the
prosperity of half dozen desert cit
les.

NEW DREDCERS

: At the regular monthly meeting Of
the directors of Water Company No.
5 it was decided to purchase two new
Ruth dredgers to be used in the work
on the canals and laterals. The
Ruth dredge has been found by the
different water companies of the val
ley to be the best for the work that
is encountered here and nearly all
the waters companies are now using
them.
The directors also voted to adj
vance the sum of $4,000 to the I'M
perial Irrigation District to help it
out of its temporary financial en-
barrassment. This sum is to be re-
turned to the No. 5 Water Company
either in cash or water rentals for
the year 1920.

COOK COUNTY FIFTH ANNUAL
FAIR SEPTEMBER Is, 2s, II

See that you do not miss the Cook
County Fifth Annual Fair, which will
be held on the 25th, Goth and 9th
days Of September. The officers and
managers are making: great efforts.
to make this a better and more sue
cessful fair than any previous one
held in Cook County. ~.
Games and sports will add to the
attractions, and good speakers will
be provided. Exhibitors are reques-
ted to- bring in their exhibits the
first day, in the forenoon, as they
will be judged in the afternoon and
the prizes awarded. In this way the
people will not have to wait until the
last day to see the prizes. However,
livestock may be brought in on the
second day, in the forenoon, as usual,
and will be judged that same after
noon, and the managers of the fair

brought in. There are a good many
fine grade cows and heifers in the
county which should be brought to
the fair. So friends and farmers,
don't fail to come and bring in your
livestock, cows, heifers, horses, sheep
brood sows and pigs. Don't say you
you haven't the time but take time,
for it is your fair and it comes only
once a year. Let; us all help to make
the fair success.
Every animal that is brought in
will be judged in its own class and
the Judge will explain why he gives
one prize over the other; this will
give you an insight as to how to
put up your exhibit another year.
This information is valuable and you
can't afford to miss it.
The managers will have the build
ing in readiness so there will not be
as much confusion as in other years.
They ask everybody in the county to
make an effort to bring in their best
products. A cordial welcome extern
ded to all. Come early and avoid the
rush.
