The Greatest Tractor Show in the History of Power
THE MOGUL 8-16
The Popular Tractor
at Fremont.
The direction of the wind is told by the weather vane,
and at the great Fremont demonstration the tractor the
farmers are buying tells the direction of popular favor.
...'"-'At the end of the first real day of demonstration,
twenty farmers had placed their stamp of approval by
A buying the Mogul 8-16 tractor as the most practical and
. economical iarm power.
,, There are reasons why the Mogul 8-16
leads in favor. .
First The Mogul 8-16 delivers its power upon
kerosene, this makes the running cost less than half of that
of a gasoline tractor. '': ") f. ' '' : : :'; K
Second The Mogul 8-16 is so simple in construction'
and operation that it appeals to the farmer as a practical
power proposition." .
Third The Mogul 84 6 is designed so that all parts
are easily accessible and "readily understood by the
j operator..-' .v..v, " - " "" " " ' " '
Fourth The Mogul 8-16 has two drive wheels with
the proper distribution of the load for good traction. -;
Fifth The Mogul 8-16 .tractor is real economy trac-.
tor and is already demonstrating that fact on thousands
of farms throughout the country. , ,, ,-. .

tion show how the high cost of farming can be reduced..

Among the moit interesting "tent
exhibits" at the Fremont national
power farming demonstration i that
of the J. I. Case plow works, selling
agents for the "Wallis Cob" tractor.
The chassis of the Cub, which suc
cessfully finished its unprecedented
1,000-miIe durability run from Cleve
land, O., to Fremont, Neb., is being
shown each day. No Darts have been
removed on this machine and the pub
lic is invited to carefully inspect the
tractor for wear.
It it remarkable how well preserved
the Cub is after that long cross
country trip which was made during
the constant raini of last spring.
Live Bear Cub. '
An interesting feature of the "Cub"
exhibit was a live cub bear which wis
captured by the Wallis people before
the car started on the circuit. Mon
day it created quite a stir by break
ing loose and climbing the. tallest
tree in Fremont on Maple street .
Many representatives of the com
pany are in Fremont, including H.
M. Wallis, president; L. N. Burns,
general sales manager; H. M. Wallis,
jr., secretary; Clem Michael, chief of
designing and engineering depart
ment; Earl L. Woods, tractor sales
manager; C. G. Howell, advertising

Twenty-One Tractors Are
Using Waukesha Motors
H. L. Horning, general manager of
the Waukesha Motor company,
Waukesha, Wis., is spending the week
at the tractor meeting Fremont.
Speaking of the Fremont show Mr.
Horning said: "I have been attend
ing automobile shows and similar ex
positions for many years, but I have
never in all this time seen anything
to compare with this present exhi
bition, either in arrangement or in
tense interest of the visitors in trac
tors. It is wonderful and J do not
believe that there will be anything to
compare with it any place in the coun
try."' The Waukesha people have made a
specialty of building motors and so
efficient have they become and so
strong is their reputation that a farmer
who knows motors never questions
the power when he is told a tractor
is equipped with a "Waukesha." This
in attested by the fact that twenty
one different tractor manufacturers
are now using this motor.
Visitor Praises the
Fremont Tractor Show
"There it a great future for the
tractor industry and the management
here at Fremont is to be congrat
ulated on the work that has been done
here to create interest," said a visitor
to the Fremont Tractor exhibit.

Report on Causes
Of Rise in Gasoline
Prices Are Ready
Washington, Aug. 9. The federal
trade commission has completed its
final report on the causes of the rise
in gasoline prices and probably will
send it to congress next week. Mem
bers of the commission today declined
to discuss it.
The final report, it was said, will
go into detail as to an apparent lack
of sufficient competition between
companies producing gasoline. No
recommendations for prosecution of
any concerns are expected and none
have been made to the Department of
Justice. It is understood, however,
that congress will be told that the
remedy for present conditions lies
in some sort of regulation of gaso
line manufacturers to insure real com
petition or as a last resort in crea
tion of government machinery au
thorized to fix prices. Legislation
by congress would be necessary to
effect either proposal.
Persistent Advertising Is the Road
to Success.
Many
Crowds Flock Around the
C. 0. D. Tractor at Fremont
W. T. Clapp of the C. O. D. tre
tor was one of the most enthusiastic
boosters for the Fremont demonstra
tion on the grounds at Fremont this
week.
"I suppose," said Mr. Clapp, "that
I am doubly enthusiastic because of
the wide interest aroused in the farm
ers of this section in the C. O. D.
tractor. We have had a crowd of In
terested people around our display all
the time and sales have been ery
satisfactory."
The C. 0. D. is built along practical
lines, simple in construction, light in
weight, powerful, strong and durable.
It is neat and compact, with all parts
lubricated and easily accessible. It is
built in two models and burns either
kerosene or gasoline successfully. The
drawbar test made on the grounds
was one of the most satisfactory.
Cars of Turloch Melons
Are on the Omaha Market
Many cars of Turloch cantaloupes

These fciloupes are being shipped
by the Turloch Merchants and
Growers, Inc., of Turloch, CaL, made
up of some 700 growers of canteloupes,
who in order to have their products
reach the consumer in the bset possi
ble condition, have adopted trade
marks and after melons have passed
a rigid inspection they are labeled or
stamped, "Sun Belt," or "T. M. G."
Nothing but the large, uniform fruit
is allowed to carry the trade mark of

Rocky Mountain Region
Lures Tourists This Year
Gerrit Fort, passenger traffic man
ager of the Union Pacific system, with
headquarters at Chicago, passed
through Omaha at noon on a busi
ness trip to Denver and Salt Lake
City. .
"Passenger traffic has been very
heavy on the eastern part of the
Union Pacific and comparatively light
on the Pacific coast," said Mr. Fort.
"The San Francisco fair last year
drew very heavy traffic to the coast
and the travelers prefer the Yellow
stone and Estes park regions this
year."
Eighteen-lnch Ears of
Corn Being Exhibited
J. C Suttie of the Northwestern of

that he picked on the farm of William
Lonergan, about four tnilea north oi
Florence. Mr. Suttie aays that the
ears, which are sixteen to eighteen
inches long and just beginning to
dent in long straight well-filled rows,
are fair samples of a sixty-acre corn
field. ;

WALLIS CUE) TRACTOR
GIVES FINE DEMONSTRATION
Yesterday at the Fremont National
Power Fanning Show the famous Wal
lis. Cub- Tractor put up a fins demon
stration, plowing 8 inches deep at its
normal speed of over two miles an
hour. ,
This nationally known machine,
which has been s big' favorite at the
Fremont demonstrations in years past,
again proved its superiority in yester
day's field teat. '
BURNS KEROSENE.
In this afternoon's exhibition at
Fremont the Cub burned kerosene,
proving-beyond doubt to skeptical
farmers that its specially built four
cylinder motor can successfully pull Its
heaviest load on cheap fuel. During
tha demonstrations at Dallas, Hutch
- inson and St Louis few ' spectators
could detect which grade of fuel the
Cub was -using..
FREMONT BOUGHT CUB. '
Further proof of the fact that the
Cub is real quality tractor and
not an experimental engine is found
in the judgment of the city of Fre
mont, which municipality, after look
ing over all makes of machines for tha
past three years, decided that tha
Wallis Cub best answered its require
ments. .
This is no mean compliment to "Cub
construction" and should go a great
way toward convincing farmers that
this tractor is in a class by itself.
SEE THE CUB AT WORK.
Make it a point to see the Cub in ac
tual field work before the Fremont
, Demonstration is over. Then you will
appreciate the value .of its spring
mounting construction, its short turn
ing radius, its dust-proof compart
ments, its perfect lubricating system,
its power and ' speed and the many
other strong features.
