What doyou want
in yon1: tractor?

Po,ner2 Every Runaely OlPuu wi1 deliver more
tower for its size and rating than any other
tractor made. Its rating is based upon only 80 of its
maximum power eficiency-a 201 overload capacity.
The OlF'ull power plant is low speed, heavy duty
motor, built complete in factories and
designed especially for this tractor and to operate
oil fuel The weight of the OilPull and the weight
distribution is absolutely correct to realize the full
power developed by the motor. Ask any OilPun
owner his opinion of OiPull power.

been at it snce giving year after year service
The first OilPu built is still the job-over Is, 900
in service.
The OilPull frame is of straight steel members
without bends splices-to best resist twists and
strains. OilPull gearing has always been made bit
larger and heavier than you might think necessary.
OilPu shafting is the same-a Of special steel-the
OilPull crankshaft is built to u. S. Naval specca-
tions Motor parts ground to the thousandth part
of nch There is no better tractor wheel made than
the OiPu-weve been building engine wheels for over
80 years. Oil cooling eliminates evaporation, freezing
rustng, cogging, overheating-and saves power.
Plus power and plus construction give the OilPun
lasting qualities unequaled by any tractor This isn't
guesswork-t has been proved. Ask any OilPun
his opinion of OilPull dependability.

tins of that state, and under the new
laws of the Nonpartisan league leg
islature, counties of North Dakota
can issue bonds to make loans to VIC
Tins of the drouth.
The Sinclair bill is now awaiting ac-
tion by the committee on appropria-
tions in the house Of representatives
1t is as follows:
"Be it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the Unit
ed States Of America, in congress as
sembled, that the secretary of agri-
culture is hereby authorized, for the
crop of 1920, to make advances of
loans to farmers and stockmen in the
drouth-stricken areas of the United
States, where he shall find special
need for such assistance exists, for the
purchase of wheat, oats and barley for
seed purposes, and of feed for live
stock, or, when necessary, to procure
such feed and seed and sell same to
such farmers. Such advances loans
or sales shall be made upon such
terms and conditions and subject to
such regulations as the secretary of
agriculture shall prescribe, including
an agreement by each farmer to use
the seed and feed thus obtained by
him for the production of grain. A
first lien on the crop to be produced
from seed obtained through loan,
advance or sale made under this sec
tion shall, in the discretion of the Sec
retary of agriculture, be deemed suf-
ficient security therefor. The total
amount of such advances, loans or
sales to any one farmer or stockman
shall not exceed the sum of $500. All
such advances or loans shall be made
through such agencies as the secre-
tary of agriculture shall designate.
For carrying out the purposes of this
section there is hereby appropriated,
out Of any moneys in the treasury not
a otherwise appropriated, the sum of
$5,000,000, available Immediately"
BANK TO PROVIDE
LOANS FOR STRICKEN
"North Dakota's resources were
never in such good shape to meet the
emergency of crop failure in the
southwest as today" says F. w..
Cathro, director general of the Bank
of North Dakota. Through the new
state bank, in spite of the many de-,
lays due to political attacks, we will
be able to mobilize credit in the dis
tricts where it is worst needed. With
$20,000,000 on deposit and $2,000,000-
capital stock, the bank is the largest
institution in the state and can estab-
lish valuable connections in the East
more easily than can any other bank"
The plan of the Bank of North Da-
kota contemplates both depositing
funds in the banks of the stricken
district to be lent to farmers, and re-
discounting of notes given to local
banks. All the public funds now in
the west will be left on deposit there
and in addition other funds will be
moved there. With bountiful crops in
the eastern part Of the state, mod
crate amounts can be transferred
from banks here and there and put to
work in the district where it is most
needed.

ate the team on the communtty-owner-

Ed W. Smith. famous fight critic and
referee, comes to bat with the follow
ing well-timed criticism Of the pro-
posed Willard Dempsey championship

about, hence his opinion Is well worth

about the proposed mill.

tionable line Of goods in the fighting

he offers to give Willard $500, 900 he
Is acting merely as an agent for the
public. The public must subscribe this
amount to Willard, not Rickard. The
money must come through the gate.
The public must pay.
That being an established fact, as
will be apparent with a moments
thought, the question naturally arises;
