TzAc1o. SCHOOL A BIG SUCCESS
International Harvester Company's Yn-
structors Give Farmers Valuable
Help ON Tractors

All who attended the tractor school
which closed Thursday evening after
lied in every All hat Me We
able to talk to said that they were
so we'll pleased that should school be
held within reasonable distance anot tner
year, they will be sure to attend.
A no more timely subject titan the
operation of tractors could possibly
have been studied in this community.
1t Is timely both from the standpoint
and also from the absolute necessity of
Keeping all the tractors working this
following season. We all know that
it takes power and plenty of it to pro-
farm work done on time. If the tractors
are laid up for repairs, or some little
adjustments. it is valuable time lost.
The object Of these tractor schools is
to give tractor owners and others inter-
ested in power farming some tirst-aid
work for the tractor.
A very fortunate feature of the tract
or school was it's practicability. The
knew his subject and knew how to bring
out the points in a clear, understandable
manner. He started in at the begin
ming and went through the principles of
gine and step by step took up the
various systems into which the mechan-
ism Of a tractor could be divided. For
instance, mechanical and power system,
uSl tiiIu Srll StllS SS oLtII, )SHlllOll
system, lubricating system, governing
system, air and gas system.
If there has been any apprehension
in this community about the use of
lowsrade fuels in tractors, we are glad
to say that this school has cleared up
this important phase Of tractor farm
ing. We are now satisfied that if d
tractor is built right, it will operate
successfully on kerosene and other low
grade fuels. 1t certainly seems great
ly to the farmers advantage to have a
tractor that will produce power on low
priced kerosene-coal Oil.
Mr.. John r. Beaton of Fargo, who
is connected with the Standard Oil Com
pany. gave a very interesting talk on
the subject of fuel and luhricating oils.
He used charts for Illustration purposes
and covered the subject in a thoroguh
manner explaining. the complete dis
tallation process from the time the
crude is pumped from tn we'll, until
it is refined to the many grades of oil
we use today.
This school was attended by farmers
from many parts Of the state and sew
eral were present from eastern Mon
tans.
We assure the Interna tional Harvest
er Company that if a tractor school IS
held here next year the attendance will
be much larger because we hear moth
ing but words of praise from all who
We're fortunate enough to attend the
school.

former years will be remembered as

ranged for at the present time by the
local manager Marius Erickson, prom
ises to far sulpass any OF the previous
ones. AS explained by Mr. Erickson,
the eXperinece gained from former
years have been Of much benefit to them
as every year they understand better
what the actual requirements are. What
the tractor manufacturer aims at in
conducting these schools is to give a
tractor owner or operator a pract cal
working knowledge of every phase Of
the construction and operation Of n
tractor and IL gas engine. The knOWl-
edge gained from the experiences of
aviators and tank drivers in the great
European war have been of ineStimable
value to the manufacturer OF gas en-
gines. At the Case warehouse and
show rooms there will be displayed all
the various models this Company make.
and one model especially is bound to at
tract the attention Of every visitor
this is the Model 1927. their latest
Model said 10 be the most perfect trac-
tor made. This one model alone is
well worth visit to the tractor school
this year as many ideas have been in
corporated in this machine that will
surprise the visitors to the Case school
this year. +. F. Johnson the branch
manager .f the Fargo house, and his
assistant Anton Jensen, will accom-
pany the instructors to the city and
assist the local manager. Mr.. Erickson'
in the enterta nment of the guests. The
entire course is absolutely free of

agement that everyone interested in

whether they own and operate Case

the Case company will be out this com
ing week and those who neglect TO at
tend their school this year Will have
reason to regret missing the retat.

PIONEER RESIDENT OF
MlNOT is DEAD
Mrs. Martha Lindberg, Who Came
to This City in 1883, Died After
Long Illness From Cancer.

Mrs. Martha Lindberg, one. of the
pioneer residents of Minot, passed
away at four o'clock after q years
illness from cancer. She had been
very seriously i'll for the past two
months and it was realized that there
was no possible chances for her re-
covery. Ahho she realized that her
days We're numbered, she bore up with
a Christian-like fortitude and the
Grim Reaper found her ready to face
her Maker.
The funeral will be held Friday af-
ternoon at 2 o'clock at the Bethania
Lutheran church, of which Mrs.
mains will be inferred in Rose Hill
cemetery, beside those of her hus-
band who died in Minot % years ago
this month The funeral sermon will
be preached by Rev. Lonne, pastor Of
the church.
Mrs. Lindberg was born in Bergen,
Norway, GA years ago last October.
She was married in the land of her
birth and in 1875 accompanied her hus-
band to America. They first lived at
Wells, Mimi, and three years later
moved to Medicine Hat, Alta, where
her husband was roadmaster for the
C. P. r. They moved to Crookston,
MINI, and in the spring Of 1887, set
tied in Minot, where her husband
continued with his railroad work.
Her husband supervised the laying of
the rails on the Grtat Northern at the
time the track was built between Mi
not and Williston. The husband died
% years ago and the same year two
of the small children passed away.
Mrs. Lindberg is survived by four
children: Mrs. w. j. Swanton, Of
Havre, Mont; Oscar of Grand Rapids,
Mich; Louis of Fort Benton, Mont,
and Carl, of this city. All of the chill
dren with the exception Of Louis, will
be able to attend the funeral. One
of the sons, Martin, passed away in
Minot eight years ago and John, the
eldest son, died in Minot in 1888.
Mrs. Lindberg was remarkable
woman. Her entire life has been spent
in doing noble deeds. AS a nurse, she
had no peer in the state and her SER
vices were especially valuable in ma
uernity cases. She kept careful
record of each birth she had attend
ed and the nunsoer runs up past the
five hundred mark.
Mrs. Lindberg vas one Of the best
of mothers and despite the fact that
she was compelled to be both father
and mother to her little ones, she
cared for them exceptionally well and
lived to see them reared to manhood
and womanhood and to take places OF
honor and respect i'm the world. .
4 It is with profound sorrow that the
writer chronicles the death of this
GOOD woman. No one in the city. has
more friends, who will ever renem-
Der her for her many acts OF KIND
ness.
