For the best interests of all, it is time a real practical efiort was made to bring the business of the cc u Ury and the life of the country clown to regular pre-war standards." FARMER: The reduction in price of the tractor will pay for necessary oil,, kerosene and help to put in two to three hundred acres of wheat. You -can t afford to be without .t. These new pnees wdl make a shortage of cars , nd tractors on account of the great demand at this time, making de liveries very uncertain. Place your order at once as orders will be filled as rt ived.
