in Nebraska 'a best "third" city, in the
center ol the nation'a great agricul

grain belt, and founded on the broad
common tense demonstration plan of
operation. Under the management
oi th Twentieth Century Farmer tor

The phenomenal success of the Fre

existence, causing considerable incon

As a result the manufacturers decided
to have a voice tnemseives in me aaic

' j For that is what the show is for, in
It is also designed to show farmers
and Others the necessity for one.
The Twentieth Century Farmer ha
.SlAM kUJ n hatft alnnflr thft circuit
plan. It realized that the end to be
sought was the greatest good to the
greatest number of tractor manufac
turers and tractor buyers, and it is
fullv in accord with any movement
having this object in view. .
The officers of the Tractors' asso
ciation are the following: J. B. Bar
thotemew, Peoria, 111., chairman; W.
If. Haggard, Rockford, III., secretary;
K, Brmton, Dixon, 111., treasurer.
These officers have selected A. E.

manager. Mr. Hildebrand helped

SOME HORSEBACK RIDES
Notable Trials of Man and Animal
Endurance in European
Countries.
Dick Turpin's ride to York on his
brown mare Bess was, as a matter
of fact, an impossibility, it having
been claimed that he rode from Gads
hill, a distance of nearly 100 miles,
in less than foul hours. At any rate,
his presence at York at 7:45 o'clock
cleared him from the charge of rob
bing a sailot in Gadshilt at 4 o'clock
the same morning.
Cooper ThornhilPa ride to and from
between Silton and London on April
29, 1745, however, was actually per
formed. He rode 213 miles in eleven
hours, thirty-three minutes and
forty-iU seconds, but Jie bestrode
nineteen horses in doing it. This was
an average of nineteen miles an hour.
George Osbalderston, in 1831, on
a wager of $5,000 that he would ride
200 miles in ten hours, accomplished
the distance in ten minutes over
seven hours. He had ridden twenty-
eight horses and was allowed one
hour and thirty-two minutes and
fifty-six seconds for changes, while
he had kept round and round the cir
cular four-mile course on Newmarket
Heath. He rode more than twenty
eight miles an hour.
Captain Selvi of the Italian cavalry
performed the exploit of riding 580
miles in ten daws. As the Italian
miles are shorter than ours, he
traveled fifty-five and one-half miles
per day, even then no slight feat

Capital and Surplus, $56,000.00
At the great tractor demonstration which starts next week, you
can see the Bates Steel Mule, the only real "one-man" machine,
right on the job. You won't see one man operating the tractor and
another looking after the plows. No, Sir! The Bates Steel Mule uses
only one man for eoery operation from plowing to harvesting.
This one feature alone on the Bates Steel Mule is worth a good $200.00 a
year to you over the profit any ordinary tractor could possibly make for you
even though it had the same power and general utility of the Bates Steel Mule.
Just suppose you use your tractor 100 days a year for field work. The saving
cf an extra man at $2.00 per day (which is what he costs, counting board,
lodging and money) puts $200.00 a year in your pocket.
Two-Hundred-Dollars-Every-Year! Do you realize that that is 10 per cent on
two thousand dollars? That's almost enough to buy three Bates Steel Mules.
When you figure that almost any good make of light tractor will practically
pay for itself over horses its first year and then see how much more the
"one-man" Bates Steel Mule will save over one of these "two-men" tractors,
you can get some idea of why our big plant, running night and day, has
never been able to supply the demand tor. Steel Mules.
rUIXY COVEIED BY PATENTS
The Bates Steel Mule is propelled with a "Crawler" instead of a wheel,
which means full power at the drawbar that it works on any soil, wet
or dry, and does not pack the ground. No new implements are necessary
the tools you now have will do the work cheaper, quicker and better
when hitched to a Bates Steel Mule. You can do more different kinds of
farm jobs with it more days year. than any. other. tractor built.
Free Souvenirs for All
Every visitor to our exhibit will receive a 'suitable
souvenir with our compliments. Be sure to call and
get one. Then you can see the Bates Steel Mule on the
job making good as it is on thousands of farms all
over the.world. Remember the name Batu Stul Mule.

AT THE FREMONT
TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION
Ask These Three
Questions
And Get Correct Answers
1. Does This Tractor Operate on Kerosene
Common Coal Oil?
There is a big difference between the cost of 20 gal
lons of gasoline and 20 gallons of kerosene the amount
the smallest tractor will use in a day's work. That dif
ference a kerosene tractor saves you every day it works.
2. How Much Ktrosene Does It Use?
The best built gasoline engines use about a pint of fuel
MOGUL 8-16 Tha First Suecassul Light Kwosana Tractor, j
TITAN 10-10 Th. Latest Addition to Our Lin.
per horse power per hour. Successful kerosene trac
tors use about one-tenth more kerosene. If a kerosene
tractor uses more fuel than that, it is wasteful. Don't
buy it.
3. Does It Work Steadily?
This point determines the usefulness of the tractor.
It must be a steady worker, operating successfully on
kerosene at all loads, before it is entitled to your consideration.
Buy the tractor that measures up to the standards
set by the Mogul and Titan Tractors, which meet all
the above requirements. In the real kerosene tractor
class Mogul and Titan Tractors stand supreme.
