Fordson Hits Highest Production
Record. Henry Ford Start
ed on Tractor Is Years

On February 10 at 9 a. M. Ford
son Tractor No. 100000 left the
assembly line in the Fordson
plant at Dearborn, Michigan,
slightly less than two and one-half
years after number one was COM
pleted. And here again has Hen
ry Ford set a new high record in
the manufacture of farm tractors
via the quantity production route.
Although the Ford interests are
very recent entrants in the ranks
of the tractor manufacturers,
yet Henry Ford really built a
tractor of the steam type before
he started work on his first gas
car. And incidentally, that trac-
tor and the first car are still in
good running condition, and Mr..
Ford occasionally demonstrates
both to visitors at his farm in
Dearborn.
Some fifteen years ago Mr.
Ford began work on what has
come to be the Fordson. This
tractor was really a Ford car
equipped with special wheels and
included of course some mechan-
ical changes. By 1908 he had a
workable tractor; it plowed, har-
rowed, and did much other work |
on the farm. Then ensued nine |
more years of experimental work |
before the first tractor was put |
on the market.
Fordson tractors are now being
assembled at a rate of $50 daily
at Dearborn, 100 at the st. Louis
assembling plant, and it is esti-
mated that within a short time
the Des Moines branch will be in
operation. There is also an assem-
bling plant in Cork, Ireland. pl. /

DO Not ignore
Europe's Plight,
Plea by Hoover
Americas Attitude Com

pens if He Is Safeguarded

Americas attitude to the distressed
nations in Europe was compared by
Herbert Hoover last night, to the
"optimist who doesn't care what hap
pens so long as it doesn't happen to
him."
Mr.. Hoover spoke before the Ma
tional Budget Committee at dinner
at the Hotel Commodore to celebrate
the Senate's passage of the Executive
Budget bill After Sir John Foster
Fraser. in referring to Mr.. Hoover,
said, There is no man more honored
throughout Europe" the applause for
Hoover, who was not scheduled to
speak, became SO insistent that he was
induced to talk.
"Sir john" said Mr.. Hoover "has
defined the optimist rs one who doesn't
care what happens so long as it doesn't
happen to him. I don't know whether
he referred to cur attitude toward the
suering people In Euroue, but if he did
his reference was pertinent"
Mr.. Hoover said he heartily approved
of the committees activities in endeav-
oring 10 obtain prompt passage of a
budget measure. He said it appeared
to be impossible to coordinate the
work of the present twenty seven de-
partments Of the government before a
budget system placed them all under
one direction.
Sir John urged his hearers to
"avoid national arrogance"

Ex-Treasurer of Republican
National Committee Asks
Backing for Goyernnr

Elon II. Hooker, former Treasurer
of the Republican National Committee,
spoke to the enrolled Republicans at
TWO Assembly districts last night in
his campaign for the party nomination
for Governor.
Hooker first addressed an assem-
blage of electors at 32 Macdougal
Street
"The administration Of the sto.~ is
your business" he said. 81 stopped
tho waste in my own and I can stop it
in yours.
"It is up to the voters or rne state
to hire a real business man to run
the state by electing him Governor.
Taxes will go higher and higher unless
VIC stop the waste and extravaganza.
Remember, we did not like the income
tax we paid this year. But it will be
higher unless we have business ad-
ministration."
Some of Mr.. Hooker's rivals have
spread the word that he is Million
aire. To this charge Hooker pleaded
guilty. He enthused his audience with
a tale o. mis- early struggles as news
boy in Rochester, Later, he said, he
worked late at night and early morn
ings lighting and turning out street
lamps so that he could continue his
studies in high school and in college
Let us get down to brass tacks and
take job with backache in it,"
said Hooker
Hcoker also spoke before the Re
publican voters of the 4th Assembly
District at the clubhouse, 436 Grand

Four by Four Club Gets
500 Members i'm s Days

The Four by -Four Club, which was
organized eight days ago to work for
the nomination of Leonard Wood for
President, now has membership of
500, according to an announcement
made yesterday by Mrs Alice Mckay
Kelly, preident of the club.
This club is on the level. Every one
gets q square deal here. That is why
we call it the Four by Four" Mrs.
Kelly explained.
Permits were obtained yesterday for
street meetings outside the clubrooms
at Sixth Avenue and Twenty third
Street. The membership Of the club
is OF many nationalities, but Mrs. Kelly
who is an accomplished linguist, has
been able to pin Leonard Wood but
tons on all corners with satisfactory
explanations. Foreig gn-born men and
women working in the nearby factories
flock to the club at noon, with the re
suit that it is rapidly becoming cen

Sir John said he took exception to
an American habit Of imputing every
thing stupid to a Briton. at seems
to me that whenever an American finds
a joke on somebody particularly stupid
he describes the victim as being a
Britishcr," he said.
Senator Walter E: Edge. of New
Jersey, declared that in Washington
he found that forty-sev boards and
other, all were looking after the na-
tion's health. He also said that under
the present system without a budget
there is not only deplorable lack Of
efficiency, but that the chief industry at
the capital is evading responsibility.
He declared that during the war
three out of FIVE employees in the aver
age government Office spent their time
khlttlhg, reading or even playlnS
cards"
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler declared
that not until budget system was
adopted and complete reorganization
of the executive departments in Wash
ington effected would the government
be run on business basis.
Other speakers were John T. Pratt

sided, and John Lord O'Brien, Of
