tached to it as a trailer which car
ries a tlree-bottom plow and set
of wide, cleated tractor wheels for
use in plowing and other farm work.
These wheels can be substituted for
the rubber-tired ones very quickly,
as quickly in fact as wire wheels
can be changed on passenger auto
mobiles. Within twenty minutes the
tractor can be taken off the road and
made ready for field work. The
itinerary includes Harrisburg, Read
ing, Pittsburgh, Canton, o.; Akron,
Cleveland, Dayton, Indiapapolis
South Bend, Chicago, and thence TO
the coast via st. Louis and the Mid
land Trail, Pixies Peak Highway and
the Pioneer Way. At Wichita, Kans.,
in July, the wheat tractor will be
on hand for the tractor exposition
there.
One of the aims of the trip is to
demonstrate to the Government that
in case of more war being forced
upon this country, whereby defense
on a big scale becomes necessary,
tractors of the country equipped
with road wheels and manned by
army drivers can be made instantly
available for hauling guns and for
general transportation purposes,
either in this country or another
country. In the past the tractor has
been considered a heavy, unwieldy
implement, primarily intended for
tilling, cultivating and power farm
ing, but the present trip is to prove
the wonderful utility of this type OF
tractor for hauling on roads where
cleated tractor wheels and land
wheels are prohibited. The trip
also marks the Inauguration of an
campaign to dealers and
consumers throughout the country.

Strawberries and Cherries
Plentiful and Prices
Drop

Farmers and truckers from near
the city brought big supplies of
homegrown green produce to the

took a drop over the ones established

more dealers came in with big sup
plies, the price kept going down and
soon had reached 16 cents, with indi-
cations of a still greater drop.
Strawberries, home raised, were put
on the stands at 25 and 80 cents.
but the supply was far above the
demand at that figure and a number
of dealers had cut their prices before
the markets were open three hours,

fresh onions radishes, spinach and

not want our competitors to beat US on

Quiet prevailed in the Negro belt to-
night after five days of intermittent
race rioting which has caused 35 deaths
and injury TO some 1900 persons, a
number of whom may die.
Although state and city officials be-

whites to be at an end, more than 5000
state troops, the bulk of the police force
and 1000 special policemen continue TO
patrol the streets in the troubled area

As further precaution TO keep order
tonight, Chief of Police Garrity closed
all saloons, cabarets, athletic clubs and
other meeting places, except churches,
in the Negro district.
Col. A. +. Lorenzen Of the lst illinois

situation as an EARNED truce" He de-
clared the Negroes and whites still have

weapons should be seized by a houseto-
