Mr.. Farmer:
For your convenience and
prominently located at the end
of E. Blagrove ST., Redwood,
Ohio, is the Elliott Tractor
Sales.
This concern is dealer for
the Ford-FerguSon tractors and
implements.
Over twenty-five years ago,
Mr.. Ferguson began develope-
ment of a new system of farm
ing, based on new farm pow
er. This attracted the attention
of Henry Ford, who saw in
the Ferguson system, a new
and better way of farming at
lower cost and more produc-
ton. Therefore, the Ford-Fer-
guSon tractor was produced.
This historic partnership has
made it possible to increase
farm products and at the same
time, remove the drudgery
from farm life.
The e Harry-Ferguson Inc.
just recently procured tn e
plant of the Cleveland Pneu-
matte Aerol Co., Cleveland, o.
for the production of the Ford
Ferguson tractor.
The farmer of today has
found that this is ideal for
every purpose and the only
actor that automatically
changes its weight to suit the
job.
Mr.. Elliott, your local deal
er is making every effort to
give you helpful assistance and
you will find that it will pay
you to consult this firm about
your machinery problems.

COMPETITION

Anyone who has even been associated
with a public opinion survey knows that
a considerable minority-and often the
majoritY-of the people have conceptions
OF industrial practices which are com
pletelY at variance with the truth. The
danger that an uniformed public pre-
sentS to our institutions and our economic
structure is evident. The man who doesn'l
know the truth is easy prey for the de.
magogue.
The oil industry has come in for its
share of misconceptions. For example.
seems to be rather widely believed tha
the Industry is insufficienily competitive

and verqes on monopoly. The weight Of
actual evidence, on the other hand, runs
directly contrary TO that theory.
The easiest gauge Of whether aggres-
sive competition exists within an industry
is price. Here oil has an exceptional
record. Exclusive Of taxes. over which the
industry has no control, the price Of gaso-
line is about half what it wa 20 years
ago. On top Of that the qualify OF gaso-
line sold today is UNNECESSARILY superior.
Does that look as if monopoly was the
rule?
Still another gauge is progreSs-a mono
poly, which fears no competition, does
not strain itself TO go ahead. Here again
Gil is outstanding. Research and discov-
ery have added enormously to our oil
reserves. They have given us improved
lubricants and other bY-pEoducis. This is
the direct result Of aggressive competition
between companies seeking TO broaden
their market.

HOW STORIES BEGAN

Down through the ages there
has come to US a marvellous col
lection of stories and tales about
the great people who lived in, the
springtime of the world. We use
the word .'collection,' because now
the stories are collected and writ
ten down.
In the beginning, as you know
there was no reading or writing
Even kings and princes we're I'M
able to sign their own names,
except by the use of a primitive
symbol or seal. Nevertheless they
loved stories, just as much as we
do. They enjoyed their stories moi
by reading, but by listening.
At the court of a king, it was the
custom to have a st~ory-teller en-
terrain the guests after feasting
This was true in all parts of Eu
rope and also in Asia. Often the
story-tellers chanted their tales, tt
the accompaniment of a simple
melody on the harp. An astonishing
thing about these men Guards, o.
Ministries, as they were usually
called was their memories. They
could recite for hours at a time
without pausing. They loved to tel
of kings and heroes, and they knew
by heart long lists of battles ano

goddesses have long since passet

person who worships Zeus o.

them because the MINISTRIES OF
their day wove into their songs
legends of the gods they loved.
We also know about home life
and court life, and something OF
the laws and taboos of the people
whose stories the Ministries told.
Their listeners must have loved
descriptions; there are Word-plc-
lures of boats and banquet halls
and of furniture and clothing and
scenery. Their interest iii the
changing aspects of the starry
heavens reveals the ideas of as
tronomy which they held. Uncon-
sciously, therefore, the ancient
bards were handing down a his
torical record of their day.
Chieftains took bards along with
them when they went to war, to
amuse the camp when fighting was
not going on and TO celebrate the
victories by composing songs about
them.
1nefe was eXaggefatlon IN the
songs, but we can trust the main
outlines of the stories. Archaeol-
ogist have found that there really
was a walled city of Troy that fell
in a great fire, as Homer told.
Some of the legends of King
Arthur seem to have a foundation
in fact.
The bards were highly honored
and were sure Of a welcome in the
castle and by the fireside of the
humblest peasant. You can imagine

there were no books or magazines

DUCK COMEBACK

AS a lame-duck president, Mr.. Truman
is getting aIono much better than during
the earlier period Of his administration.
His personal comeback obviously is TOO
late TO have much effect on the l940
swing Of the presidential pendulum, but
is smoothing the relations between the
White House and the Republican leader
ship in Congress.
In recent months President Truman
has had several successes, not all COM
pleie but important enough TO justify a
forecast in the Star following last No.
vember republican victory at the polls.
The Star then said that Mr.. Truman,
freed by the voters from continued sup
port Of the new deal, could be expected
TO stand firmly on his own feet and shape
executive policies in line with the man.
dale and wishes Of the people, and thai
II would not be surprising if he got along
quite tremendously with the new Con-
gress.
Mr.. Truman started his comeback by
his firm handling Of the soft coal strike.
He displayed exceptional Cancellation and
the spirit Of cooperation in his three mes
sages to Congress. He called republican
leaders into conference at the White House
and Speaker Joseph Marlin reported the
meeting helpful. Mr.. Truman said il
was satisfactory.
Nothing Of this sort was done by Presi.
dent Taft Wilson or Hoover during the
closing years Of their minority administra-
lions.
Then, announcement Of Army-Navy
merger plans are the result Of efforts by
MIR. Truman. His announcement Of op
