' Te Victory Liberty Loan cam pal ga
tn be started April 21 and It will
ftea Americans In all walks of life la
efeoelteat ebape to participate largely.
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.
T teJTBSfi everywhere. Ire making Us
greatest returns in history. Wheat li
(egged at $3.26 and the Government
Is also . practically guaranteeing tb
price of hof s and corn.
I iJLonf U earners, despite thi
blgh cost of living, there is marked
general prosperity. The average year
Jy wage of the United States Steel
Company employee is now $1,674
Cadnat $905 In 1913, and $669 In 1902
110 per cent increase. The Increass
In the last fire years is 74 per cent
Common labor, receiving $2.00 a daj
Wore the war, now gets from $3.51
to $5.00. 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 $100,000,000 advene
given by the Adamson law. The fol
lowing table shows the relative pay
In 1914 and now, and may be taken ai
a minimum of advances in nearly ai
fields of employment:
Office boy, per week..$ 8.00
Minor station agent, per
month 74.75
Baggage man, per month 72.80
Drawbridge deckhand,
per month 90.00
Car repairer or black
smith, per day 5.22
rialn carmen, per day.. 4.02
Ticket clerk, per month 72.80
Ticket clerk and tele
phone operator, per
! month. . .' 75.83
In the country farmhands who used
to be satisfied with $30 a month and
board are, now getting $3.00 a' day.
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. Ton
know what your share Is.

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.

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.
