HART -PARR CO. ID
 FINANCE TRACTOR
 PURCHASERS HERE

One of the most unique plans ever devised for selling tractors. and the only one of its kind in the tractor world today. has been announced by the Hart-Parr company. founders of the tractor industry.
 In an interview with D. E. Thomas of the Montgomery Thomas company, the Hart-Parr dealers in this territory, he states that tho Hart-P -Parr company has Issued instructions for local banks to confer with him and determine the amount of money needed to finance his tractor sales this season. As soon as this is determined one of the local banks will be named as a depository for Hart Parr money and that bank authorized to draw sight draft on the Hart-Parr company for tho sum of money needed.
 This money win bo deposited with the bank and win be used only in the sale of Hart-Parr tractors. Whenever Montgomery Thomas company need. to procure a loan Co buy moro tractors the loan can be made by the local bank from the money on deposit there Whenever the customer needs to pro- cure loAu to heip mn pay TOT a mart Parr tractor. the loan can be negotlat- ed through the local bank from tho money on deposit there for that pur. pose.
 By this plan the present situation caused by tight money is solved ana the local bank given sufficient cash a' all times to handle the Hart Parr trac. tor business fin this territory.
 From this time on. when a farme buys a Hart Parr tractor. instead O. tho money being rushed right out O town. it will be left fin the local banl until the tractor has an opportunit, to earn at least part of it's purchas' price. This means more money in loca banks and greater prosperity to th community.
 This unique plan actually smashe the tight money situation as far a tractors are concerned and is a req contribution to the financial needs O this community. states Thomas
 The local firm anticipates a big bus iness this fall as a result of this system of selling tractors.

GREECE HAS MORE TUDERCULARS THAN
 ANY OTHER NATION

ATHENS. oct. 16-Tuberculosis is more prevalent in Greece than in any other European country for which re- liable figures are available. with the possible exception of Serbia. There is no governmental or private program for the control of the disease. The number of physicians in proportion 10 the population is one to every 1900.
 In the city of Athens the death rate from tuberculosis of the lungs is 294 per 100000 population, which is almost twice as high as the rate in the United States. The other forms of the disease also are present. making the total tu- berculosis death rate 365 per 100000 of population. One death in every six Is due to tuberculosis.
 To deal with the disease the existing agencies are very inadequate. There Is little or no hospital provision for the care of the bulk of the population of 5000. 900. There are less than a score of general hospitals fin the country.
 There is also an alarming prevalence of typhoid fever. which at times rises to the proportion of an epidemic. Even in the larger cities such as Athens the typhoid death rate is strikingly high. m fne iaSl tnree-y year pcrlOu TOT WnlCn statistics are available the rate was 80 per 100, 900 of population. about five times as high as the rate in the United States.
 The prevalence of this disease Is due largely to the absence of sewers and of adequate and safe water supply No improvements in the water supply or sewerage systems have been made since 1908. The rudimentary sewerage system, where any exists, affords little or no protection against surface or un- derground contamination of water sup ply. and no safeguard against convey ance of infection.
 In Athens plans have been drawn by the national government to provide the city with adequate and modern water and sewer systems. But the execution of these plans has been delayed by tho
 war The water supply in Athens i. at present brought in through ar acqueduct built by the Emperor Ha. drian nearly 1000 years ago. Tn tho summer months the water is insuffi cient to carry off the sewage.
