The big point about the Titan
is that it is a 3-plow tractor. Fig
ure out for yourself the cost per
plow bottom; the cost of labor
per plow bottom; the time saved
in getting the work done. The
great reserve power Of the Titan
means money saved the year
round. Consider the value of
deeper blowing. Remember the,
efficiency of the Titan at belt
work.

ebove diseases is consumption and it is
particularly dangerous because so many
persons who have it do not realize that
they are diseased and ignorantly and
carelessly spit on street and sidewalk
and take no precautions to prevent
spreading the malady.
In cities where streets are kept decent
" clean, there is little danger Of dis
ease from the inhalation of germs be-
cause the constant purifying agency OF
the wind and air currents will either soon
sweep away the dus, or so largely dilute
i: that it will be practically free from
disease germs. II, however, the streets
of the city be allowed to remain filthy. SO
that abundant and pretty constant dust
clouds are encountered by those passing
through them; If the streets are moi prop
erly sprinkled before sweeping; if ignor-
ant or careless street-cleaners are allowed
to scatter dust clouds about them as they
sweep, to shovel or transport the pulver-
lied filth, then the public health is sore
