Origin of Moon In Doubt.
Many theories of tbe origin of the
moon have been advanced, but all
seem to present some difficulties,
our satellite furnishes us ninny un
solved problems. A belief In the
meteoric origin of the moon Is now
unite general. According to this be
lief the earth was surrounded In the
early stages of Its existence by a ring
nt meteoric matter. The notorial
forming the ring gradually gnthered
Into one mass, our present moon,
whose pitted face gives evidence of the
bombardment It received from me
teoric masses within the ring. Accord
ing to this theory our satellite has al
ways been a dead world, a cold and
lifeless mass of meteoric rock. It has
never felt the pulse of life or under
gone the mighty changes that have
passed over Its ruling planet. It has
remained n cold and silent witness
to vast evolutionary processes golnu
on upon u neighboring world such as
It could never experience for It
self. Credit Given to China.

The air is metered like gas.

Starting Sunday, Feb. 17th
Brand Whitlock
This momentous, vital and wonderfully written record of actual events is
the result of a combination of circumstances which might never happen again
the appointing of Brand Whitlock, former mayor of Toledo, a fine states
man, a natural diplomat, an experienced writer (author of a number of novel
and a life of Abraham Lincoln), as United States Minister to a country whose
part in the world war represents a heroism and a martyrdom that has neveY
been equalled in the realms of fact or fiction.
So delightfully does Mr. Whitlock tell his story, written from records kept
day by day as the incidents actually happened, that everything that has been
written before on the subject seems but as a snapshot compared with a great
painting by a master artist.
This Is the Complete, the Finished, the Supreme Story
of Belgium
perhaps the greatest document the world war will produce. Not a single in.

WALLIS TRACTOR
Power
The Wnllis Tractor is today conceded to be years ahead of its
time. This shows in its wonderful design and construction and,
most of all the actual results which it is producing for the farm
ers. Wallis efficiency is due to many new features of which sim
plitied design is the keynote. These features mark a new epoch
in tractor construction. This is proved by the service which
Wallis users are now enjoying to the extent of thousands of
dollars due to increased work done.
In this advanced type of tractor, power, light-weight, speed,
durability, and economy, have been successfully combined for
the first time. This is one of the great accomplishments of the
Wallis idea.
Simplified design, excellence of materials and most expert
workmanship, are responsible for this light-weight which pro
duces remarkable durability and power.
As one indication of where we save a lot of unnecessary
weight, look at our exclusive Wnllis frame design.
This member is made of boiler plate rolled into a "U" Rhape.
It serves the fourfold purpose of frame, bottom of crank case,
transmission case, and rear axle housing. This method of build
ing eliminates all heavy "I" beams, braces and counter-braees
ami with them a tnemendous lot of useless weight. This"U"
shape construction is the lightest and strongest known to me
chanics. It is typical of Wallis simplicity and strength On pages
24 and 25 of our new catalog, this advanced type of construc
tion is clearly illustrated and explained. It will pay you well to
read it.
Speed
Durability
The advanced type Wallis, because of its simplified design,
weighs just 3000 pounds. It saves, according to a recently publi
shed reliable tractor directory, from 1000 to 5000 pounds of
weight as compared with other tractors designed to do the same
work.
Experts know that in the average tractor 40 per cent to 50
per cent of the power generated by the motor is required to pro
pel its own weight. Plainly, every added pound of unnecessary
weight is paid for in loss of draw bar power.
In the Wallis, due to light weight, the power usually required
by the average tractor to move this extra weight, is turned into
draw bar pull, increased speed and more work done. The Hya
alt Roller Bearing Company's tests in Texas proved that the
Wallis delivers to the draw bar ready for work 74 per cent of
the power developed by the motor.
This means that from every gallon of fuel the Wallis user gets
practically 50 per cent more power.
In the Wallis all gears are drop forged, cut and hardened.
The materials are the finest. Besides being carefully finished,
they are enclosed in dust-proof cases and move in a continual
bath of clean oil furnished by our positive oiling svstem. Rough
ast gears, according to experts, absorb 25 per cent to 30 per
tent of the engine's power.
A Tractor should be judged not only by how many plows it
pulls, but by how fast it pulls them day after day. Tt is just as
wasteful to plow too slowly and wast time as it is to plow too
last and rack the tractor and plows to pieces.
This new type Wallis pulls three 14-inch bottoms 6 to8 inches
deep at the rate of 2V- miles per hour.
This means 10 3-6 acres per 10 hour day which is equal to the
work of ten good horses.
The average- tractor is designed to pull the same load at the
rate of miles per hour'or 7 2-5 acres per day.
Thus the Wrallis does practically 50 per cent more work in the
same time. This is a factor of vital importance especially when
plowing season is cut short by weather conditions.
The amount of .work a tractor will do for you determines
its economy. Purchase price alone bears no direct relation to
the cost. True value can only be determined by work done over
a period of years.
The Wallis Tractor will give you the greatest return for your
money because, with reasonable care, it will do the greatest
amount of work in the shortest time and will last the longest.
This service comes from the advanced type of Wallis design
which combines Power, Speed, Light-Weight and Durability
for the first time.
Today the Wallis Tractor is the most advanced type of trac
tor offered the American farmers. The efficiency of the excel
lent design and construction of this machine has been proved
by the service which Wallis Tractors are today giving their
owners, in the United States, Mexico, England and France.
Years from now other tractors will follow our lead, but right
now Wallis owners are reaping wonderful rewards from this
tractor years ahead of its time.
