directly to the front Of the en-
CINE, giving three-point suspen-
sion to the tracto".
WHEEIS.
Z Front Wheels have steel spokes,
cast in the hub and riveted to
steel rims. They are mounted on
ball bearings.
Rear w heels also have the
spokes cast in the hub and rivet-
ed to the rims. These rims are
AZ inches in diameter, 12 inches
in width, and are fitted with spe-
cial cleats designed to give pro-
per traction in. the field. BY
Withdrawing tapered bushing
from the hub, the wheels are very
quickly removed. Wheel base is
63 inches; tread between wheels
being 3S inches. The tractor will
turn in a 21-foot circle.
BELT PULLEY.
For stationary work, a pulley is
fitted on the side of the tractor
and operated from the engine
clutch. Twenty-Five horsepower
is available at the pulley, which
runs at 1000 revolutions per min
ute. The pulley Is nine inches
IN diameter and uses a six-inch
belt. The equipment is optional.
CONTROL.
Steering Is by bevel pinion and
sector, being entirely enclosed and
fabricated by oil splash. The
steering wheel is located in the
centre Of the tractor. Directly
under 1t Is the throttle lever. The
spark lever is mounted on the
dash.
The gear shifter lever is on the
left-hand side Of the tractor, and
the clutch pedal is on the right.
The seat is directly behind the
steering wheel, In the centre Of
the tractor, bringing the driver
within easy reach Of all controls.

reached without taking the tractor
apart.
Horsepower---The engine devel-
ops twenty-five horsepower when
running at 1000 revolutions per
minute, and using kerosene.
Lubrication-Splas system; the
OIL circulation is maintained by the
centrifugal action OF the hywheel
on the oil in the fywheel casing.
COOLING.
Thermo Syphon System - The
very large water jackets and radi-

IGNITION.
Special Design Magnetic, built in
and made part of the motor, used
In combination with four coils and
a commutator. This system is sim

VAPORIZER.
The tractor is equipped with a
special design vaporizer, which
heats the kerosene vapor, and, mix
ing it with fresh, cool air, supplies
dry explosive mixture to the cyl
inders. To start the engine gaso-
line Is used, anG after about one
minute, when the vaporizer Is suf-
ileiently heated, it is shifted to
kerosene.
Fuel is supplied by gravity from

In developing the "FORDSON'
Tractor, the aim has been to pro-
duce a small tractor which will be
low in first cost, reliable, and above
all-EFFICIENT.
cal, the 'FORDSON" Tractor is
adapted for use on small farms as
we'll as on the largest. 1t will pull
all farm implements and do the
work generally done by horses on
the farm. In addition, by it's belt
pulley, the Tractor will drive farm
machinery, such as a thresher, en-
silage cutter, sawmill, etc, making
the "FORDSON" truly a univer-
sal tractor.
In design and construction. the
'fCRDSON' takes a long stem in
approaching the ideal tractor. The
simplicity OF its operation and con-
struction will at once appeal to the
farmer.
Special devices we're perfected to
Keep out dust and dirt. All NOV
ing parts are enclosed and thor
oughly fabricated. The number OF
lubricating points requiring atten-
ton are very few and easily gotten
at.
The motor, transmission and the
rear axle are assembled together,
FORMING one rigid unit, which, COM
D1ned with the three-point suspen-
sion, relieves these parts Of all
strain.
The absence of any frame gives
accessibility to all parts for max
ing adjustments or repairs, and al
lows the tractor to be taken apart
In a few minutes.
The motor Is of substantial de-
sign and is capable of delivering
Its full. power continuously. 1t en-
bodies features which have been
used with success in other fields
for many years.
PERFORMANCE
The tractor IS designed as two
plow machine and will pull too
14-inch plows in the stiffest soils.
IT Will maintain a drawbar pull of
1900 pounds at plowing speed, In
low gear a drawbar pull of $500
pounds is obtained.
The fuel consumption varies
with conditions-two and one-half
gallons Of kerosene per acre being
"a fair average. The amount of
ground plowed also depends on
conditions. Eight acres in ten
hours would strike an average
When used at stationary work,
and running at full power, at 1000
r. p. NJ, the fuel consumption does
not exceed two and threc-fourths
gallons per hour.
The total weight Of tractor is

RED CROSS WILL HELP
In FIRE RELIEF WORK
Money Appropriated for Stricken
People in Burned Area of
Minnesota.

The American Red Cross has ap-
propriated S125,000 for relief work
in connection with the forest fires
that resulted in fifteen hundred
deaths and rendered twenty thousand
persons homeless in Minnesota last
year.
The Minnesota Forest Fires Relief
Commission, organized to meet the
situation faced by survivors this win
ter, has raised $97O,OOO, but this
amount not being sufficient, $4,000
will be added by the Red Cross and
the remaining $4,000 be used to
provide hospital supplies, paying sal
aries and expenses of Red Cross
nurses and other workers.
Among the uses to which large
funds are being put are the building
of temporary houses, replacing cattle
to give destitute families new start,
furnishing seed and agricultural inn
plements and providing victims with
the needed legal, agricultural and
financial advice.

DAM ADVOCATED FOR
POMME DE TERRE LAKE
Something Should Be Done To Keep
Fish From Dying Out Each
Winter.

Many of the sportsmen of this
vicinity have felt for several years
that something should be done to
keep the fish from dying in Pomme
de Terre Lake every winter and the
matter has been talked of again
lately.
It seems that each winter the fish
die by the thousands, principally be-
cause the lake is too shallow, and
that each time the state re-stocks the
lake they just get nicely started and
then die off. The general depth Of
the lake is only seven and half
feet and it should be nine and half
feet if the state is to keep it re-
stocked with fish.
Those who are interested in the
matter have advocated for several
years that a dam should be built at
the outlet so that the water could be
controlled In the spring the water
is always very high but by fall it is
gone way down again, and if it could
be kept in the lake by the expendit'
ure of a little money and the fish
kept alive thru the winter, it would
be a good piece of work. Pomme de
Terre has always been pretty good
lake for fish if they could only be
kept alive thru the winter and the
matter should be taken UP to fine
what can be done.
Just how the dam should be bull
has not been figured out, but it ought
not to cost great deal of money anC
this part could likely be arranged II
some way. Anyone interested in such
a project is invited to state his view;
thru the columns of The Tribune.

plan or project deemed to be for the

Every community, having varying
private interests should have some
medium thru which these interests
may be brought closer together and
harmonized. No community is so
large and prosperous but that it will
be benifitted by a spirit Of friendli-
ness and even Of fellowship among
its business men and farmers, each
of whom has his own particular SER

general scheme Of production.

CHILDREN ENROLL FOR
HEALTH TOURNAMENT
Pupils of Morris Public School to
Help Improve Health of Com
munity.

The school children of Morris are
enrolled in the national health tour
nament, which began on February 8
and ends May "a. In accordance
with the rules of the tournament a
child becomes a modern Health Cru
sader by daily compliance with the
following eleven health chores:
1. washed my hands before eacn
meal today.
2. 1 washed not only my face but
my ears and neck and I cleaned my
finger nails today.
3. I tried today to keep fingers,
pencils and everything that might be
unclean out of my mouth and nose.
4. 1 drank a glass of water be-
fore each meal and before going to
bed, and drank no. tea, coffee, nor
other injurious drinks today.
5. I brushed my teeth thoroly in
the morning and in the evening to-
day.
6. 1 took ten or more slow deep
breaths of fresh air today.
Z. I played outdoors or with open
windows more than thirty minutes
today.
8. was in bed ten hours or more
last night and kept my window open.
9. I tried today to sit up and

to attend to toilet and each need of
my body at its regular time.
10. tried today to keep neat and
cheerful constantly and to be help
full to others.
II. I took a full bath on each day
of the week that is checked (X).
By faithful performance of the
above requirements the child will ad-
vance in rank. After a certain num-
Der of weeks they will be rewarded
with Squires' badge and later a
Knights badge. The children will
work as a whole for a certain num-
Der of credits for which they are to
receive pennants as trophies.
The aim of the tournament is tO
bring about the physical improve
ment and the prevention of diseases
among the children and their re-
spective families, as we'll as moral
discipline thru attention to hygieniC
duties and the awakening of COM
munity responsibilities.
