HORRORS OF FUTURE CONFLICTS POINTED OUT

Prediction Seems Certain Of Fulment Unless Summar,
Action Is Taken BY Forthcoming Conference to Prohibit
or Restrict Latest Devices.

University, but never used in the last
war.
A quantity of this gas equivalent
to three. drops, reaching mans body
in liquid form, will kill. Lewisite is
similar to mustard gas, burning
gas, which caused the major portion
Of the gas casualties of the war.
Gas was never used from airplanes
during the war, but it is understood
that the chemical warfare service is
prepared, in future wars, to let down
from fleets Of aircraft, veritable
rain of most powerful gases.
These gases would be released from
tanks carried by airplanes, and would
drift to earth in liquid form, as a
light rain or dew. The mustard gas
evaporates more slowly than does the
Lewisite, thus retaining it's power for
injury by burning longer, but Lewis
tie is the deadlier Of the two.
A picture can thus be gained Of
airplanes, in future war, letting
down this "dew Of death" on armies

Washington. Oct. 29.-The Dew of
Death! The next war will be more
horrible than the last world catas-
trophe.
This prediction frequently heard
from not only army and navy experts
but from the average citizen, seems
certain of fulfllment unless some
summary action is taken by the FORTH
coming Washington conference to
prohibit or. restrict the use Of these
latest war devices.
One of the three main subjects to
be taken up at the conference under
the broad question of limitation Of
armament is: "Rules Of control of
new agencies Of warfare" The chem
zeal warfare service Of the American
army is believed to possess today the
dcadliest poisonous gas in the world.
This is called "Lewisite," a gas de-

won the toss and defended the west
goal. The first touchdown came from
the 35-yard line, when Neuman put
over an end run. Bemidjrs inter-

A REVOLUTION IN TRACTOR
CONSTRUCTION

With the entering of the Nelson
Four Wheel-Drive Tractor on the mar
ket a new era has opened. The Nelson
is revolution in tractor construction
and it can be truly said that the Nell
son Tractor stands in a class by itself.
1t is built on entirely new mechanical
lines, designed to give universal, all
year-rOund service. 1t is dependable,
easy and economical to operate and
is the nearest approach to 100 per
cent efficiency ever attained in trac-
tor. The unusual mechanical con-
structiOn of the Nelson Tractor fits it
to work on bottom land or on steep,
rocky hillside surfaces and to give the
same steady efficient service in winter
or summer.
The Nelson Tractor has been thor
oughly tested. 1t has worked in the
swamps of the South, on the rocky
hills and mountains of New England,
and on the hot, sandy plains of Ar
iona. The Nelson Tractor has been
found ideal not only for heavy agri-
cultural work and large road building,
but also for numbering and general
commercial uses. The Nelson Manu-
featuring Corporation is arranging to
build large manufacturing plant in
which to construct, in addition to COM
plete tractors, the units for assembly
at the assembly plants. Inasmuch as
the greater part of the financing of
this manufacturing plant will come
through the assembly plants, only a
small amount of the stock of the cor
poration will be left for public sub
scription.
With a man like Mr.. T. H. Nelson,
who has long since made a name for
himself as a successful organizer, at
the head of this enterprise, it is safe
to say that the corporation is assured
of success, and the large amount Of
business already on hand, further ac-
centuates this.
With the tractor industry in its in
fancy, it's markets as yet, almost who'll
ly undeveloped, and with product of
such wide usefulness, it is obvious
that the stock of the Nelson Manufac-
turing Corporation has possibilities of
great and increasing value, far be-
yond the ordinary realization from in
vestment in products not having these
almost unlimited fields of activity.

poration accepted by Lawson & Gould,
