He then proceeds to tell what the
two things are. One of them Is the

not allow the radicals to do these

other Is the development of as large

cd the program of the Nonpartisan
league as a possible third solution,
but that probably would have got
him in bad with his subscribers.
The National Nonpartisan league Is
a radical movement, but It has an
evolutionary rather than a revolu

Thief River Falla Citizens Organize

You have doubtless been thinking of buying a trac

Q.

This tractor is in daily use on thousands of
farms giving all round satisfaction to its owners. It's
an economical kerosene burner, While rated at 10
H. P. (equal to a 1600 pound pull on the draw bar),
it is capable t exerting a pull of -600 pounds. This
indicates how conservatively we rate it. No Other
make of tractor of its size is so carefully designed, so
practical and durable. This tractor is also equipped
with Hyatt Roller Bearings.
Thorough investigation would decide you in
favor of Case. A 76 year reputation for quality is
hack of this name. Thousands of Cane tractors are in
successful use. You pet the host that experience
and money can produce.

Remember this: that whenever you buy something cheap you get exactly what you pay
You can't get "something for nothing" and you never will. Quality is always the cheap
n the long run. A good tractor is an investment, a "cheap in price" tractor is an expense.
There is a Case tractor and (Jrand Detour Plow to Fit Any Acerage. Let us demonstrate
