"TO THINE OWN SELF BE TRUE, AND IT MUST FALLOW AS THE MCHffi By Steck, Shclur HugliM & Shclor. WALHALLA, SOUTH CAROLINA, WEDNj The "Fo TH.IO "FORDSON*' TRACTOR IS T DUCTED RY Mit. HENRY EOltl), C TRACTOR ON THE MARKET, EVE FARMING CONDITIONS IN VARIOU EXPERIENCE HAS POI ONE MACHINE WHICH In developing the "FORDSON" Tractor, the aim has been to pro duce a small tractor which will be low in lind cost, reliable, and above all-EFFICIENT. Being small, light and economi cal, tho 'FORDSON" Tractor is adapted Tor uso on small farms as well as on the largest, lt will pull all farm implements and do the Work generally done by horses on the farm. In addition, by its belt pulley, tho Tractor will drive farm machinery, such as a thresher, on silago cutter, sawmill, etc, making tl?e "FORDSON" truly a univer sal tractor. In design and construction, the "FORDSON" lakes a long step in approaching the ideal tractor. The simplicity ol' its operation and con struction will al once appeal lo the fanner. Special devices were perfected to keep out dust and dirt. All mov ing parts are (inclosed and thor oughly lubricated. The number of lubricating points requiring atten tion are very few and easily gotten at. The motor, transmission and the roar axle aro assembled together, forming one rigid unit, which, com bined with the three-point suspen sion, relieves these parts of all strain. The absence of any frame gives accessibility to all parts for mak ing adjustments or repairs, and al lows the tractor to be taken apart in a few minutes. Tho motor is of substantial de sign and is capable of delivering its full power continuously. It em bodies fentures which have been used with success in other fields for many years. PERFORMANCE. Tho tractor is designed as a two plow machine and will pull too 14-inch plows in the stiffest soils. lt will maintain a drawbar pull of 1800 pounds at plowing speed. In low gear a drawbar pull of 2500 pounds is obtained. Tho fuel consumption varies with conditions-two and one-half gallons of keroi one per acre being a fair average. The amount of ground plowed also depends on conditions. Eight acres in ten hours would strike an average. When used at stationary work, and running at full power, at 1000 R. P. M., the fuel consumption does not exceed two and three-fourths gallons per hour. I Tho total weight of tractor is I For further infori W. M. ll ROU Distributors of Fo Flagman Lockller Acquitted.

The South Carolina Railroad Com mission has completed Its annual re port to the Gonornl Assembly, lt shows that during tho past year 147 milos of 85 and 90-pound rails wore laid on tho main lines and 50 miles of rail on branch lines. The report also shows thal during tho year twelve passengers were kill ed and ?MO injured and 17 employees killed. Forty-nine trespassers were also killed and 22 7 Injured.

Removable Cylinder Head-This allows easy access to tho valves, pistons and cylinders; tho crank case ls easily removed, so that all interior parts of the engine may be reached without taking tho tractor apart. Horsepower-Tho engine devel ops twenty-two horsepower when running at 10 0 0 revolutions per minute, and using kerosene. Lubrication-Splash system; the oil circulation is maintained by thc centrifugal action of the flywheel on the oil in tho flywheel casing. COOLING. Thermo - Syphon System - The very large water jackets and radi ator tanks used with a vertical tube radiator insure a continuous flow of water and efficient cooling. This works in connection w lt a belt driven ball-bearing fan. IGNITION. Special Design Magneto, built in and made part of the motor, used In combination with four coils and a commutator. This system ls sim ple and reliable. VAPORIZER. The tractor is equipped with a special design vaporizer, which heats tho korosenc vapor, and, mix ing it with fresh, cool air, supplies a dry explosive mixture to the cyl inders. To start the engine gaso line ls used, and after about one minute, when the vaporizer ls suf ficiently heated, it ls shifted to kerosene. Fuel is supplied by gravity from a twenty-one gallon overhead tank. AIR WASHER. The air supply ls drawn through water. Tho wear on tho cylinder walls is thus greatly reduced be cause of of all dust having been re moved from tho air. Clutch-Multiple steel disc run ning in oil. TRANSMISSION.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Su premo Court held to-day that the Hoed "bone dry" prohibition amend ment prohibits Interstate transpor tation into dry states of intoxicat ing liquor for beverage purposes even when Intended for personal use. As interpreted by the court, the law nullifies state statutes permitting I'.mltled amounts of liquor to bc brought in for personal uso. Justice McReynolds, in a dissent ing opinion, concurred in by Justice Clark, declared tho Reed amendment vas not an interstate commerce regulatory measure, but a direct inter-meddling with a stnto's affairs and beyond Federal power. Tho opinion was rendered in pro ceedings brought by the government i.udor the Reed amendment against Ron Hill, who was charged with taking a quart of liquor into West Virginia as the State laws permit. The lower court dismissod the in dictment, holding the liquor had not been transported In interstate com merce within the meaning of the law, because it was intended for Mill's personal use and not for trade.
