Organization In Full of Ten" and
Hager to Tut State Orer the
Top in Victory Ian
Nebraska has decided to put Its
Victory Liberty Loan over the top.
Those who are familiar with Ne
braska's war work record will real
ize from this that Nebraska will suc
ceed. There existed a few weeks
ago, even in the organization, a lit
tle doubt as to whether Nebraska
would respond to the "post-wr" call
as well as it had done during the
war. But when the district chair
men and the county chairmen re
flected that it Is really not a "post
war" call until the war Is over, and
that the war Isn't over until it is
paid for, that made It look different,
and Nebraska will put her share of
the Victory Loan over.
At a meeting of state, district and
county chairmen held in Omaha,
Tuesday, March 11, reports from
these chairmen made It apparent
that the attitude of the public is rap
Idly recovering from the setback it
suffered Just after the signing of the
armistice. At that time the reac
tion was apparent all over the coun
try and people had little time for
anything but business. To them the
war was over. But with the com
ing home of the boys from France
has arisen the old patriotism that
made the nation respond to the calls
of the Government. This same pa
triotism Is going to see to it that the
peace which we fought for and which
we won is going to be paid for, say
the Nebraskans and Nebraska is
only typical of the United States.
State Chairman T. C. Byrne of
Omaha says the Tenth District can
count on Nebraska and his county
and district chairmen to back him up
in the assertion.
The Nebraska chairmen listened
to an Interesting account of the war
from Dr. C. E. Henry, of Omaha,
who was In command of a hospital
nit In France and who has Just re
turned to his practice. Doctor Hen

Conditions Still Adnormal
in the Telephone Business
During the war we were 11 affected by the unusual prices and often by
the scarcity of the goods we needed.
. As we all know, in the year and a half the war lasted, prices rose rapid
ly and are still very high.
And while prices kept going up, because of war conditions it became
more and more difficult to obtain materials and capable employees.
The telephone companies, like most other industries, were hit hard by
increased expenses and by the scarcity of labor and equipment
And things are not yet back on a normal basis and probably will not be
for some time.
While we hope it will not be long before our former employees are out
of the army and on the job again; and we expect soon to be able to get
promptly all the equipment we need
Still, the high price of materials and the generlly high operating expens
es are problems that we shall no doubt have to meet for several years.

Farmers- and Land Owners!
The "FORDSON" TRACTOR is the result of extensive trials and experiments con
ducted by Mr. Henry Ford, covering a period of many years. Before placing the trac
tor on the market, every detail has been thoroly tried out under actual fanning condi
tions in various parts of this country and abroad.
Experience has pointed to the small, light tractor as being the one machine which
will fill all varying conditions satisfactorily.
In developing the "FORDSON" Tractor, the aim has been to produce a small trac
tor which will be low in first cost, reliable, and above all ecient.
Being small, light and economical, the "FORDSON" Tractor is adapted for use on
small farms as well as on the largest. It will pull all farm implements and do the work
generally done by horses on the farm. In s ddition, by its belt pulley the tractor will
drive farm machinery such as a thresher, ensilage cutter, etc., making the "FORDSON"
a truly universal tractor.
In design and construction the "FORDSON" takes a long step in approaching the
ideal tractor. The simplicity of its operation and construction will at once appeal to
the farmer.
Special devices were perfected to keep out dust and dirt. All moving parts are
enclosed and thoroly lubricated. The number of lubricating points requiring attention
are very few and easily gotten at.
The motor, transmission and rear axle are assembled together, forming one rigid
unit, which, combined with the three-point Suspension, relieves these parts of all strain.
The absence of any frame gives accessibility to all parts for making adjustments or
repairs, and allows the tractor to be taken apart in a few minutes.
The motor is of substantial design and is capable of delivering its full power con
tinuously. It embodies features which have been used with success in other fields for
many years.
PERFORMANCE
The tractor isTdesigned as a two-plow machine and will pull two 14-inch plows in
the stiffest soil. It will maintain a drawbar pull of 1800 pounds at plowing speed. In
low gear a drawbar pull of 2500 pounds is obtained.
The fuel consumption varies with conditions; two and one-half gallons of kerosene
per acre being a fair average. Tho amount of ground plowed also depends on condi
tions; eight acrcB in ten hours would strike an average.
When used at stationary work and running at full power, at 1000 It. P. M., the fuel
consumption docs not exceed two and three-fourths gallons per'hour.
The total weight of tractor is 2700 pounds, with water and fuel tanks filled. Over
all length is 102 inches, height 55 inches and width 62 inches.

There won't be enough
Fordson Tractors to go 'round!
THE demand for the Fordson tractor is so great
that it will be a long time probably before every
one will be able to get one. Therefore, if you
are looking for a tractor and wish a Fordson you should
see us at once.
The Fordson has more than fulfilled expectations.
With its economy efficiency durability it is ideal
for the average farm.
Burns kerosene has special air washer and all
moving parts are enclosed there is practically no
thing to cause trouble.
Use it with the Oliver No. 7 Plow
Here are some of the big Oliver features: The
combined rolling coulter and joiner buries all stalks,
weeds and trash at the bottom of the furrow; and
the stop device maintains an even depth of furrow.
The best plow for your Fordson that's the Oliver.
Come in and let us show them to you.
