Many feel that a mere demonstration
is not sufficient. They feel that the
prospective buyer becomes confused
after seeing hundreds of tractors at
work, while at best he can do no
more than give the tractors and their
work a superficial inspection. They
hope to arrange some time in the fu-
ture to stage contests in wnicn aen
nite work is cut out for the tractors
to perform, a field of a given size to
be plowed at a given depth in a given
length of time, while at the same time
a record could be made of the amount
of fuel consumed by each, the amount
of oil used, etc, etc.
Heavier Type Popular.
A survey of the tractor today re
veals something of a tendency to pro
duce heavier machines again, after the
companies had been trying for some
time to bring the tractors down to
lighter weight. There is a tendency
to work toward the perfect balance,
the exact weight necessary to give
the oroper strength of frame and at
the same time give sufficient gravity
to make the drawing power all that is
required.
Many farmers came to the show
earlv Mondav morning. In automo
biles and by train they came from
afar. Hotels in Fremont are crowded,
and Fremont is especially pleased to
have its new Pathfinder hotel com
pleted in time to help in the accom
modation of the crowds.
Farmers come in exceptionally
good spirits. Ihe rains throughout
the state have practically assured a
corn crop and they come now feeling
they will buy that tractor which they
wanted, but about which they have
been hesitating while the corn' crop
hung in the balance. 1
Get-Together Banquet.
A get-together banquet of the trac
tor men was held at the Hotel Path
finder Monday night. The Fremont
Ad club has a lively program ar
ranged for Tuesday evening at Hub
hall. Wednesday evening there is to
be an engineers' dinner at the Hotel
Pathfinder and Thursday evening the
Commercial club is to tender a
"watermelon feed" to the tractor men
at the clubroojns. Band concerts will
be held every evening in the city park.
A chautauqua is in progress all
week. F,x-President William Howard
Taft is scheduled to speak at the
chautauqua Thursday evening. He
was to have spoken in the after
noon, but the tractor people prevailed
upon the chautauqua management to
make it in the evening in order that
the ex-president might not lure the
afternoon crowds away from the
plowing demonstrations.

PAYDAY MONDAY
AT FORT OMAHA
For First Time in Month Money
Is on Hand and Boys Are
f Eager to Have a
Time.
A big automobile drove up to Fort
Omaha Monday morning and was
met at the gate with a cheer from
the 700 eager men in khaki.
It had been a whole month since
that same automobile and its oc
cupants had visited Fort Omaha. For
the first two weeks of this time the
boys got along pretty well, but after
that the ice cream cone venders and
the Omaha movies began to be
negfected by the soldiers from the
fort north of town.
The coming of the big brown car
this morning changed all that, how
ever. In the car were Major Maher,
disbursing officer of the United States
army, from the quartermaster's
A . r r..ll

Major Maher carried a big fat bundle.
With him were Chief Clerk Harry
Northcutt, of the quartermaster's
depot and his assistant, G. A. Peters,
each with a similar bundle. These
were obtained at the Omaha National
bank.
Monday was payday at Fort Omaha,
and not a soul, from the oldest vet
eran to the newest recruit from New
York or Wyoming or wherever he
hails from, was sorry to see it come.
The bundles were full of good
United States greenbacks, which
Uncle Sam sends out to the soldiers
training at Fort Omaha. The privates
get their $30, besides $4 for enlistinp.
the sergeants something over $40, and
so on up the list.
And $30 soon goes when vou have
to buy ice cream and pay street car
fares, as well as get movie tickets and
souvenirs of Omaha. Many boys

have never been west before and they
want to take in everything going.
Various thriving small stores have
sprung up in the neighborhood of the
fort, to catch the stray dimes and
quarters of the men. These reaped
a rich harvest today.
As soon as Major Maher arrived
the money began to disappear. The
three men from the supply depot were
aided by Captain Bower and Lieuten
ant Goodale of the fort and the men
moved rapidly past the paying table
As soon as they reached the outer
hall, however, dignity vanished. There
was a whoop of joy and a rush for the
ice cream parlors. A small newsie
had an eye to business, lie was on
the spot and his stock of Bees was
sold out in a jiffy.
Buys Hens for $10, Sells
Them for $20 in Hour or So
Officer Bitter, who has a beat on
Cuming street, missed his vocation;
instead of being a peace boss he
should have joined forces with the
business men of this city. Monday
morning he invested the sum of ten
hard earned dollars in the purchase
of thirty hens. A short while later,
a peddler, driving along, stopped to
scrutinize the fowls.
"I geef you $20 for the bunch,"
spoke the newcomer to Bitter. The of
ficer, using his business ingenuity,
thought a while; then accepted the
offer.
"I'll take you up; give me the
dough."
No more volunteers will be ac
cepted for the three regiments of the
Nebraska National Guards, and their
ranks. 600 men shy of war quota, will
be filled up from the drafted men.
These orders were received from the
War department today by Major
lames V. Heidt, United States regu
lars, who is in charge of the state
troops until all have been mustered
into federal service.
The instructions were that last Sat
urday was the last day for volunteer
recruiting, and that after Sunday no
more would be accepted.
What men from the draft army will
be taken, and how they will be se
lected, was not made known in the
orders, Major Heidt says.
Orders to make the formal transfer
into the federal service a draft instead
of a muster were received today by
Captain E. E. Ncwbold, senior draft
ing officer.
Companies R and C have been ex
amined by the medical officers, and
Company A began examination today.
The examination is progressing at the
rate of one company or better a day,
which is considered rapid work.
Out of 141 men in Company H, only
five were disqualified for physical de
fects. Of 147 men in Company C, only
two were thrown out.
Company officers and non-coms arc
busy making out requisitions for
their uniforms aud supplies, which
they will receive from the Omaha
quartermaster's depot. Captain
Buehlcr Metcalfe of the machine gun
company got cots for his company
Saturday.
Joins Marine Corps After
Hearing Brother's Yarns
Ray Strain, son of Lou Strain of
Omaha, likes the marine crops so '
well that his brother joined yester
day in order to satisfy the enthusiasm
he gathered from hearing Ray talk
about it. Ray arrived yesterday morn-
ing from his station a Cjuantico, Va.,
where he has been for some time.
After he had told the home folks
about the life of a marine, D.
Strain, his elder brother, hurried to
the recruiting station and joined also.
Ray is in Omaha on a ten-day fur
lough. He must be back at the sta
tion by Friday. Ray savs officers of
the marine at Quantico firmly believe
the whole corps at Quantico will be
in France within two months. Re
cently, Ray has been driving an am
bulance at the station.

Feature of the

BE sure you see the Cleveland Tractor at Fremont. Note its wonderful performance -its
unique construction its all-round utility. It will interest you amaze you.
The Cleveland is the only tractor built that can work at a profit on any farm in the country.
crawls on Us own tracks, which conform to the unevenness of the soil. It is the first
tractor to combine light weight and economy with crawler construction.
The Cleveland only weighs 2750 pounds, yet it has 600 square inches of traction
surface. Think of it ! ,
So it can go anywhere over ditches and gullies, through wet clay, loose sand or soggy
soil. And it works at a surprisingly low upkeep and operation cost.
will actually plow eight to ten acres a day. That's more than three of the best three
horse teams and three men can possibly do. And under normal conditions it will plow an
acre on a gallon and a half of fuel.
It will develop 20 h. p. at the drawbar and 1 2 at the pulley belt plenty for every power
requirement on any farm.
The Cleveland steers by the power of its engine. A light touch on the wheel sends it in
the desired directioh. And here's another big advantage the gears .are not only of the best
possible materials, but are enclosed in dirtproof, dustproof cases.
Travels on it Own Trade
Again be sure you see the Cleveland. Let its performance prove this to you:
The Cleveland Tractor will do work no other tractor can do
and do better and cheaper the work other tractors can do
