BIG FORD SHOW
FOR MEMPHIS

1t has been announced that an i'm
mense exposition OF agricultural aud
industrial power aud equipment will
be held IN Memphis for eight days,
beginning september 22ni, in con.
nection with the Trl.State Far.
According to Mr.. Jones Of Riggs
Il Jones, local Ford dealers this ex
position will exblblt the most com
plete showing Of agricultural power
and equipment 1t will also com
pletely DESTROY the fallaciors idea
that the Fordson Tractor is for use
on the farm only, Instead, it has
become tremendous power IN the
industrial field, and this great Ex-
position will show its manifold uses.
Explaining further, Mr.. Jones
SAID, "By being used for industrial
purposes, l mean this latest of Hen
ry Ford's invenuon-the Fordson
Tracto- is being used to supplsnt
expensive steam power and horse
power in building and constructive
work, in lumber aud coal Industries
IN bodybuilding.
"For instance, large number Of
manufactures of bodybuilding equip
ment observing the power and hex
ibility of the Fordson Tractor, have
built their machinery to be used on
ly with this efficient power plant.
Manufacturers of HOSTS and
winches got the idea, and now the
Fordson is used for hosting md op
Grating concrete mixers aud other
machinery used IN construction
work.
"a Southern inventor has taken
the ordinary wheels of the Fordsou,
set the power plant in a heavy frame
put Hanged wheels on it, connected
them With driving rods, and made a
locomotive out Of 1t to be used IN
lumber, mining and construction op
eratIons.

Last December he was arrested
on two counts to await the action

four months in the county Jail he

him. This time on a charge of

Especial Correspondence

Geneseo, July 31.-An automobile
on the new hard road near the Paul
farm about one mile west Of this
city at IL o'clock Saturday night
was of a serious nature especially
to Walter Parks who was driving
the car. Accompanied by Cyril

Henry and Clinton CULLEN, he was
returning from Colona where they
had gone to advertise a dance to
be held this week They were
driving at a rate of about twenty
five miles an hour in the heavy
downpour of rain when suddenly
out of the dark there appeared a
team of horses hitched to single
buggy. 1t was impossible to
avoid, a collision and the car
crashed into one of the horses
breaking both front legs and al
most totally destroying the car. The
buggy was demolished.
Those who were injured were
Walter Parks who was taken to DR..
w. F. Spencer for treatment. His
face was severely cut and it was
feared that he will lose the sight of
one eye. Yesterday he was taken
to Rock Island and placed in the
care of a specialist CULLEN, Full
Ter, Titus and .McHenry also SUI
fered cuts and bruises about the

two employees who had been in town
purchasing supplies. Their names
have not been ascertained. They
both escaped uninjured. The horse
was soon put to death. Information

Especial to The Argus.)

Aledo, July 31.-A fire starting in
a wheat field on the Glen Gilmore
farm near Sunbeam Friday morn
ing burned between five and six
acres, destroying approximately 200
bushels Of the grain.
Threshers were at work in the
same field and were only able to
stop the blaze by rushing to the
farm house for plows, which were
used in turning up the ground
ahead of the flames. The origin of
the fire is unknown as it started d
considerable distance from the
threshing machine.
When the fire was first noticed a
tractor was hooked onto the ma
chine and pulled it out of the dan
ger zone. Two of the several teams
in the field became so frightened at
the commotion they ran away tear
ing up harness and wagons. The
farm home was only quarter of a
mile from the fire but the wind was
in a favorable direction so there
was no danger of the farm build
ings catching fire.
