FORDSON POWER
FARMING INSTITUTE
Moore Motor Co. and Spaulding Trac-

ton in MinOt Monday, Feb. 10.

The Moore Motor Co., i'm conjunction
with the Spaulding Tractor Co. of
Fargo, will hold a Fordson Power
Farming Institute at the Moore Motor
Co.'s garage on Central avenue Mon
day, February 49, The Institute opens
at 10 o'clock and will continue all day.
Speakers of national reputation will
address the Institute on Power Farm
ing and Mr.. Markle, northwestern
manager of the Ford Motor Co., will
also deliver an address.
A five-reel film entitled "Keep the
Boys ON the Farm" will be shown.
This film was prepared at great ex-
pense and lis one of the most talked
of picture films, probably, in the world
today. The film is particularly edu-
eating and carries out many of the
leading ideas which Henry Ford is en-
deavoring to inculcate in the minds Of
the American people. The meeting
Monday is not alone for the benefit
Of the farmer but is for the merchant,
the banker and the laborer as we'll.
Everybody is welcome to attend as
special arrangements have been made
TO provide for the comfort and health
of those in attendance. What is of
equal moment is the fact that this is
not sales convention and no one will
be asked to purchase any machinery
or implements that will be on exhibit
tion.

were rewarded with the scent of the
fresh spoor of Bara, the deer. Tar
zans mouth watered and a low grOwl
| escaped his patrician lips. Sloughed
from him was the last vestige of arti-
fetal caste-0nce again he was the
primeval hunter-the first mantle
highest caste type of the human race.
Up wind he followed the elusive spoor
with sense of perception so transcend
ing that of ordinary man as to be in
conceivable to us.
Presently the body scent Of the deer
told Tarzan that his prey was close at
hand. 1t sent him into the trees again
into the lower terrace where he
could watch the ground below and
catch with ears and nose the first in
timation of actual contact with his
quarry, Nor was it long before the
ape-man came upon Bara standing
alert at the edge Of a mOOn-bathed
clearing. Noiselessly Tarzan crept
| through the trees until he was directly
over the deer. In the ape-man's hand
was the long hunting knife Of his ia
| Their and in his heart the blood lust of
the carnivore. Just for an instant he
poised above the unsuspecting Bara
and then he launched himself down
ward upon the Sleek back The i'm
pact of his weight carried the deer to
it's knees and before the animal could
regain it's feet the knife had found its
heart. AS Tarzan rose upon the body
of his kill to scream forth his hideous
victory cry into the face Of the moon
the wind carried to his nostrils some
thing which froze him to statuesque
immobility and silence. His savage
eyes bazed into the direction from
which the wind had borne down the
warning to him and a moment later
the grasses at one side of the clearing
parted and Numa, the lion, strobe ma
| jestically into view.
From the lips of the ape-man broke
a rumbling growl Of warning, Numa
| answered but he did not advance. In
stead he. stood waEJng his tail gsatly
to and fro, and presently Tarzan
squatted upon his kill and cut a gen
erous portion from a hind quarter.
Numa eyed him with growing resent
ment and rage as, between mouthfuls,
the apeman growled out his savage
warnings. Now this particular lion
had never before come in contact with
Tarzan of the Apes and he was much
mystified. Here was the appearance
and the scent of a man-thing and
Numa had tasted human flesh and
learned that though not the most
palatable it was certainly by far
the easiest to secure, yet there was
that in the bestial growls of the
strange creature which reminded him
Of formidable antagonists and gave
him pause, while his hunger and the
odor Of the hot flesh of Bara goaded
him almost to madness. At last Numa
Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1920-02-13

could stand 1t no longer. His tail shot
suddenly erect and at the same in
slant the wary ape-man, knowing all
too well what the signal portended
grasped the remainder Of the deerS
hind quarter between his teeth and
leaped into a nearby tree as Numa
charged him with all the speed and a
sufficient semblance Of the weight Of
an express train.
Tarzan's retreat was no indication
that he felt fear. Jungle life is ordered
along different lines than ours and diff
ferent standards prevail. Had Tarzan
been famished he would, doubtless,
have stood his ground and met the
lions charge. He had done the thing
before upon more than one occasion,
just as in the past he had charged
lions himself; but tonight he was far

that the jungle god would Sly Nume
and the ola black was even more terri
fed of his own impending fate at the
hands Of the victor than he had been
by The sure and sudden death which
the triumphant lion would have melted
out TO him. He saw the lion weaken
from loss-of blood. He saw the mighty
limbs tremble and staggar and at last
he saw the begst sink down 10 rise no
more. He saw the forest god or de-
mon rise from the vanquishei foe and.
placing a foot upon the .stiu quivering
carcass, raise his face to the moon and
bay out a hideous cry that froze The
