FATHER THI SITS SON j{ Winner, S.

The aged Indian declared; that he was certain the man whom the government has been questioning , is no Mexican imposter, despite to-| day's developments. LAFOLLETTE «| LOSES PLACE © UNDER PLAN Deprive Him of Committee! Chairmanship in Favor of Senator Watson i Washington, Feb. (By the A.| P.)—One of the reasons why admin- istration leaders in the Senate have decided to deprive Senator Robert M. LaFollette and his followers of their present committee rank in the new Senate was to avoid the necessity of elevating Mr. LaFollette to the chair- ‘anship of the powerful Interstate Commerce Committee under the sen-| dority rule. < This was diselosed today by Chair- tan Watson of the Republican Com- ‘mittee on Committees. Senator Cum- mins of Iowa outranks Senator La- Follette on the Interstate Commerce Committee, the body that will deal with important railroad legislation in the next Congress, but he already is the Chairman of one majority com- mittee, judiciary, and under Senate practices would be ineligible for the chairmanship of two. With Mr. LaFollette removed from consideration Senator Watson will “be next in line for the chairmanship of the Interstate Commerce Commit itee next ‘sésston: v8 ‘Two Firé Calls‘ |“ Prove Trifling ; The two fire calls today from the residences of “John A. Johnson, 208 West Broadway,_and James Garri- Son, 617 Front Street, proved to be Yittle more than a smoke scare, with fio damage and no, water used. At the Johnson home it was caused by a stove pipe falling down. The cause of the smoke at the Front Street house was undetermined.

These set up the appropria- tions ymade by the city commission on Sept. 29th, 1924 in” two ways. First, by “Purpose” or function. for which the appropriations were made as for, instance, Police Dept., Fire Dept., etc. and secondly, by “objects” r things to be purchased as “‘salar- ies, Wages”, etc. ntractual Ser- vices” means things bought under contract as hydrant rental, street lighting, etc. An exact allocation or distribution of all the appropriations could not be made because of the lack of data Figures in parenthesis refer to notes below, in sufficient detail to supply the ne- cessary accuracy distribution These are explained. by the “ Note 1—“Garbage disposal” taken from the health dept. appro- priation and placed under “Sanita- tion” where properly and strictly it belongs. Again, the budget as pub- lished appropriates the *money in a lump of $3,000.00 and does not show for what things it will be spent. In the absence of definite data, it was arbitrarily" split into “Wages, —$2,- 400.00” and “Expense—$600.00" on the assumption that this would] prove a fair distribution of the $3, 000.00. ee, stances, the purchaser is led to be- lieve that the counterfeit part is ex- actly the same as the genuine, even though it is not manufactured by the builder of the car on which the part is to be used to replace another part. Dodge Brothers contend that the buyer is the victim of misrepresen- tation in either case. For example, a genuine Dodge Brothers rear axle shaft withstood six complete turns in a twisting test, while the best of several counterfeit shafts withstood only 1 3-4 turns. Again, a genuine steering knuckle bolt bent almost double, without breaking, when put under tremend- ous pressure. When the same test was applied to a counterfeit, knuckle bolt, it snapped in two immediately. “Such tests show very plainly that it is dangerous to use counterfeit parts” said M. B. Gilman, local Dodge Brothers Dealer. “The least that can be said for such pats is that they are a source of endless expense and inconvenience to the man who is un- fortunate enough to have them in his car. The worst that can be said is that they actually jeopardize the safety of passengers. Every man and woman who ever drove a car can readily appreciate what might hap- pen. if a vital part should give way on a hazardous grade, or in a street crowded with swiftly moving traffic. “Automobile owners con protect themselves against such danger and misrepresentation by having parts installed only by service stations ap- proved by the factory which builds their car. Few outsiders are inter- ested in what you think of your car, or how long it will last, or whether. you will ever buy another of — the some make. cerned with the immediate profit.

LaFrance, blockman, and Louis Tibesar, local dealer, in co- operation with all-other Advance-Rumely local dealers in the’ Bismarck block are busily engaged lining up students to attend the Seventh Annual Power Farming Machinery School to be held at the Fargo Branch of: the Advance - Rumely Thresher Co., Inc., from March 8rd to 6th’ inclusive. This School has become an annual custom with the Company, resulting from its conviction that no purchaser of its tractors or threshers.can ex- pect to derive the maximum benefits from them unless he is first thor- oughly instructed in the’ proper operation, adjustments and repairing of such machinery. Originally designed for dealers only, within the last four years the scope of the work has been ehlarged’to include farmers, with the result that thousands of Advance-Rumely owners all over the conti- nent have had the benefit of. this thorough factory training. Five carloads of equipment, motors, transmissions, magnetos, ete., twenty-five factory intructors, and several of the Company’s officials arc in charge of the School, two crews of which are now engaged in’ holding these Schools ‘at fourteen of the largest Advance-Rumely branches in the United States. Two sessions ‘are being held at different Branches at ali times, the Fargo session and the Minneapolis session held the same week, winding up the 1925 series. There is a special offer to prospective buyers ‘of tractors and threshers, details of which will gladly. be furnished by any Advance- Rumely distributor.. The four days of School are completely filled with a regular schedule of mechanical shop training on the Company’s products, and students are instructed to bring their overalls, although the Company furnishes the tools. Evenings are completely: taken up with a smoker, a lecture on “Power-Farming Machinery” by Prof. Miler of the North Dakota ‘Agricultural College, a moving picture production ‘of the Com- pahy’s products in service and its factory, a dance on the third evening which a year ago was attended-by about 800 persons onthe Company’: sample floor, the climax of the entertainment coming in a big banquet held at 6:30 p. m. the last evening, on the Company’s sample floor at the Branch ‘House. - : 1 The 1924‘session was attended by about 500 farmers and dealers at Fargo, this being the largest School of its kind ever held in this coun- try, 80 far as can be learned. .The 1925: session promises to greatly ex- céed that figure, and prospective buyers of machinery who desire to regis- ter at the School are asked not to delay 2s the avilable capacity is being rapidly filled up. ; ' , 4 bhi rekon mbaatal dose, wait y yds HONEUAUAUTEATUGERAAUAOAUAEAUAEALALTA As HT CGP RUE Sul
