RAPID STRIDES
THIS YEAR BY
POWER FARMING

That power farming will make more
rapid strides this year than III all the
years that have gone before seems TO
be a foregone conclusion, if the demand
for Fordson tractors from all over the
United States is at all n criterion.
According to Imperial Valley Hard
ware Co. dealers for the Fordson trac-
tor in this territory. it will not be long
before the ranchers throughout this
entire vicinity will have their ranches
so power-farmerized that they will be
Just as efficiently run as well conduct
ed manufacturing establishment where
machinery has played such an import
ant part in getting out big production.
The factory of Henry Ford and Son,
Inc, at Dearborn. Mich, has been lit
orally swamped with orders of all kinds
pouring in from all over the country
and despite the production of over
three hundred tractors per day, over
twenty one thousand bona fide farm
ers' orders were on hand at the Ford
son factory, n few weeks back, which
amount will undoubtedly be increased,
as the time for fall plowinG arrives.
No tractors are being shipped to
points to be stocked up for future pur
chase, but rather to those points where
they can be Immediately placed upon
the fields and put into operation, the
tractors being delivered TO the ranch
ers in rotation.
This is unique in the annals of trac-
tor history and is merely an indication
of how farmers are becoming depend
ent upon motor traction on their farms,
instead of the antiquated methods of
horse drawn farming, and sounds
warning to those rancherS who antici-
pate the use of tractor when the
rainy season starts, and are holding
off placing their orders.
According to adViceS received from
the distributor of the Fordson tractor
in California, orders are now piling in
daily, and there is grave possibility of
shortage of these tractors, and un-
doubtedly many ranchers who are put
ting off their purchase, will meet with
disappointment, for the probable allot-
ment to California of FordSOn tractors
this year will only be five thousand.

UNDECIDED As TO
WHICH PAVING CO.
WILL HAVE CONTRACT
FOR PAVING

At their last meeting the City Com
missioners, as shown by the official
minutes published in this paper, an
nulled the city paving contract with
the Alabama Paving Company and let
same to the W. P. Mcdonald Con-
struction Co. The immediate cause
for this action was that apparently
the Alabama Paving Company had
failed to make satisfactory bond in the
stipulated time. The company claims,
however, that the time was not UP,
and the Commissioners now have the
matter in advisement.
AS the matter has been represented
to us by informed and disinterestei
parties, the real reason why the con-
tract was taken from the Alabama
Paving Company was on account of
the extraordinary delays attendant
upon the execution of the work. Orig.
inally this paving was to have been
done in ten months, but thirty months
have elapsed, and the end is not yet
in sight. This delay, it is claimed.
has cost the city several thousand dol
lars additional in engineering costs
and various other items Of overhead
incident to maintaining an organize
ton while the work is in progress
The Commissioners figured that let
ting the remainder Of the work to a
firm equipped and ready to do it, and
one which they knew they could rely
:. upon to complete 1t promptly, woule
really be cheaper than to take chanc
es on further expensive delays.
h The Mcdonald Construction Co
e made a splendid record In carryinl
). out its contract with Polk county, it
y work being admirably done, and fin
o .ished more promptly than that of an
other contractor. Associated wit
n MIR. Mcdonald now is Mr.. Taylol
le who was manager for the Eurek
s. Paving Co., in carrying out its cour
ID ty road contract, he being, besides Nh
d Donald, the only other successfl
s. contractor on the road system. TIL
TO paper is sure that the Commissioner
+. will respect any rights of. the Alaban
r. Paving Co., but IL 1t should be four
90 advisable to adhere to the contra
made with the Mcdonald Company,
RS Is certain that the work will be WI
cir and promptly done.

REVIVAL
Great Crowds Hear DR.. vioIette At
Every Service. Despite Bad
Weather.

The revival at the Ninth Street
Christian church is progressing with
great enthusiasm. DR.. Violet is at
tracing great crowds by his earnest
and sincere preaching of the Word
of God. AS he himself said Monday
night while offering the invitation,
he does not attempt to draw great
crowd to make the confession out of
pure emotional insanity but desires
by an earnest and truthful story of
the Christ, to convince them that he
is the Son of God and to have them
accept Him of their own free will.
On Sunday night the church was
filled to capacity and even the study
and ante rooms were crowded by
those who desired to hear the sermon
even though they could not see the
speaker. He delivered a powerful APP
peal to do right, and said that the
men of vision in America were the
young men. He spoke Monday night
on "Why l Believe the Bible" defer
ring to some more favorable night
his discourse on "The Worse Thing
In Hopkinsyille."
