The record of bualneaa fallaret la tte United States for the year 1911 how that American business men are In a condition financially to make Sarfe subscriptions to the Loan. 1 In the twelve months of 111S there were only MIS failures In the United fetaies as compared 'with 15,855 in 11T. 16.HI in 1US, and 2Z.KI Id .HIS. This shows tor 1918 a 65 pet eat decrease. The total Is the small eet since 1899 when there were 9.331 tallaree. By reason of the (rest in aweaae la the number of buslnesi fconaee In the country since 1S99, tta 1911 failures are relatively even muck mailer than then. 1 And it is worth while to know thai the Tenth Federal Reserve District !as uert to the bottom of the list o: twelre districts, having the lowest i far ctn( of failures.

Skilled men now get on ax average of from $ to $20 a day and few get as much as $75 a day. Is the Seattle shipyards men are getting $11 a day. Railway wagee have been advanced 1700,000,000 per annum in the last year, following- a $100,000,000 advene given by the Adamson law.

The cost of living has taken uj ome of the gain in wages and profit! everywhere, but there is still a hand ome margin left. Now that the Vic tory Liberty Loan Is offered the pub lie on April 21, Uncle Sam will b decidedly unwilling to accept any plea of Inability to subscribe from his pro parous nephews. Don't let wounded soldier beat you say that yon "sacrificed" by sell ing a Liberty Bond below rar. lie knows what sacrifice Is. He also knows that Uncle Sent will pay par cn every promise when that promise matures. If you fall to pay your personal bus iness debts you can only be placed In Jail, if you fall to lend your Just hare to pay the Nation's war debts you will be called a slacker.

I stv4 J f If t FARMERS AND L AND 0W 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 farming 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 efficient. 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 addition, by its belt pulley the tractor will drive farm machinery such as a thresher, ensilage cutter, etc., making the "FORDSON" a truly universal tractor. E2jSS53- In design and construction the "FORI? SON" 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 thdroly lubricated. The number of lubricating points requiring attention are very few and easily gotten at. The motor, transmission anr 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 acces? bility 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 ha e been used with success in other fields for many years. . PERFORMANCE The tractor is designed as a two-plow machine and will pull two 14-inch plows in the st ifftst 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 i-onsumption varies with conditions; two and one-half gallons of kerosene per acre being a fair average. The amount of ground plowed also depends on condi tions; vijiht acres in ten hours muld Kt t ike an average. - When used at stationary work and runiiinj? at full power, at 1000 R. P. M., the fuel consumption does not exceed two and three-fourths gallons per hour. 1 The totel weight of tractor is 1700 pounds, with water and fuel tanks filled. Over all length is 102 inches, height 55 inches and width G2 inches. a i?-t&J&it&clt' ..... 1 IfCeWaftetKjsV - r 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. Get Your Order in Early COURSEY & MILLER CORNER THIRD AND LARAMIE 3 n
