OIL PULL
The Cheapest Farm Power
YOU want to be sure of several things
when you select a tractor. One is lubri
cation. For without a protecting film of
oil that never fails, parts wear quickly and
power is wasted.
The OilPulI is doubly protected by its system
of Dual Lubrication. A pump, tested to work
under 2000 pounds pressure, forces oil, drop
by drop, to the vital bearings of the engine.
From these parts the surplus oil works down
into the crank case. Here the connecting
rods churn it into a heavy mist which com
pletely envelops the interior of the engine.
Other features of the OilPulI which make pos
sible its consistently delivered "10-Year-Service"
are Triple Heat Control, Oil Cooling,
etc.
Find out about this "proved" tractor that is
growing more popular every year. We have
complete information here and will gladly
explain any points.

Max Dusterhoff Goes East.
Max Dusterhoff, who has been at
Los Angeles for several months, and
where he and Joe Wutchinek having
benn working at their trade of paint
ing and decorating, arrived in Mur
dock last Wednesday for a short stop,
while on his way to Springfield, illi
nois, where" he goes to accept a posi
tion as foreman in a painting estab
lishment, and at which place he is
assuming a very responsible position,
and which commands very remuner
atirve pay. Mr. Wutchinek for the
present is remaining In the west
but will not continue there longer
than the position which he now has
lasts; he will then come east again
and probably go to Illinois.
Ivy McCrorey Recovering.
Ivy McCrory has been having a
very severe siege with the inflamma
tory rheumatism which has kept him
to his home for the past four weeks.
Ivy is at this time just able to be up
and hobble about but not as yet able
to get out and shake himself and get
after the work, and when Ivy cn not
work he surely is not in his element,
for he is a worker and no mistake.
We are glad that he is able to be up,
and hope soon that he may be in his
usual health again.
Looks a Little Dangerous.
During the last week there has
been a little hail here and there, and
while it could not do damage to the
growing crops that it will later,
still it shows that there is a danger
lurking in the clouds every time they
assemble. Many seasons slip away
without any damage resulting, but
when it comes it is sure bad enough
to make everyone wish they had an
abundant insurance on their crops.
While we are hoping that the hail
in its destructive character may not
come, still that does not save the
crops.
