PAGE EIGHTY BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE THURSDAY, SEPT. 16, 1920 FRACTOR MEN! HERE FOR BIG DEMONSTRATION Representatives of Fargo Ford Branch Attended Showing of Fordson Machine PRODUCTION JUMPING Many tractor experts are in Bis- marck today for the demonstration conducted by the Dakota Motor com- pany, distributors of Ford cars and Fordson tractors. Among them are E. F, Spalding, of the Fargo Tractor company; S. W. Hesten and R. P. Smith, of the Spalding Supply com- pany, Fargo; and O. J. Solen and L. J. Sweney, of the Ford branch at Fargo. Production of Fordson tractors is jumping monthly, according to woré received from the Detroit factory. Nearly half the tractors now manu- factured in the country are Fordsons, the Ford men here were informed. Bezan 12 Years Ago When the motor-wizard began ex- perimenting with tractors some twelve years ago, he is credited with havy- ing promised farmers a machine that would make farming “what it ought to be—the most pleasant and profita- ble profession in the world.” Deviat- ing from old tractor beliefs and manu- facturing customs, he set about. build- ing a light, mobile tractor—a tractor not especially for use on the big farms and ranches, but so constructed that that it would handle the work on the smaller farms. The principles of manufacturing and selling which, had brought the Ford car to success are now applied to the tractor. As a result nearly 150,000 Fordsons have gone into service; approximately. one-. third of the trators in use in the United States are Fordsons—this, ;in, spite of the fact that the Fordéon has been on the market only a little over two years. June was a great month in the Ford. son, industries, but it has been eclipsed by July. Not content with breaking production records once, the five Fordson assembly plants shatter- ed the mark during July by turning out 9,766 Fordsons, or 617 more than in June. Never before have the Ford- son plants smashed records on two consecutive months, and the hope is expressed in view of the production figures to date, that August will see! still another high mark established. The plants averaged 375 tractors daily against 351 in June. ‘ Two Plants The Dearborn Michigan plant has been doing the bulk of the work. In addition to supplying parts for worx at other Fordson plants, 4,188 trac- tors were completed, which is nearly half the number which the record. At St. Louis, 2,101 tractors were turn- ed out, 2,341 at Des Moines; 810 at Kearney, New Jersey, which com- menced assembly work late in June, and 236 at Cork, Ireland. The Hamilton, Ohio Plant which has just commenced to play an im- portant role turned out 2,740 trans- missions which were shipped to the various plants. Although July saw the breaking of the June record, there was no day upon which a greatey number of tractors were assembled thaw the record day of June 29, when 545 were finished.

DISCHARGED MEN CAN’T WEAR THE ARMY UNIFORM Officers connected with the local recruiting station have started a drive against men discharged from the ar- my who continue to wear the uni- form beyond the three months period specified by law. Chief of Police Martineson has been notified by the war department of this order and it is likely that a check will be made of the men entitled to wear the uniform in Bismarck. The law provides that no part of the army uniform can be ‘used except upon special occasions, such as meetings of the American legion, patriotit cele- brations and other occasions specified in the national denfense act. “The violation of the act prohibit- ing the wearing of army uniforms has become so flagrant.” said a local Many a Pretty Not only are these pimples and splotches disfiguring, but they lead to serious skin diseases that spread and cause the most discomforting irritation and pain.

This intention of the government was announced today in the South African House of As- sembly by the Premier, General Smuts. He explained that enemy assets held by the Custodian of Enemy Property in South Africa totalled 13,- 000,000 pounds of which 3,000,000 pounds had already been paid out to Germans domiciled in south Africa. Of the remaining 10,000,000 pounds, one million pounds would be tempor- arily employed applied in satisfac- tion of South African claims on Ger- mans for debts or for property in Germany meduestrated by that govern: ment. On\the balance ot 9,000,000 pounds, the government of South Africa has decided to pay interest at 4 per cent raising the total to 10,000,000 pounds, which will then be held by South Af- rica as a loan from the German own- ers for a term of 30 years, the gov- ernment paying owners 4 per cent in- terest. Premier Smuts added that the gov- ernment did not propose to pay this money to the Reparation Commission, + which would practically mean con- | fiscation. As there was no guarantee that if the money was sent to Ger- | many it would ever reach the proper [J ee Ee | For Sale BLACKSMITH SHOP Must sell at once, on account of health, . only shop in city, county seat of Mc- Intosh County. country; plenty of work. ; Call or write SCHAEFFER BROS., Ashley, N.
