The price is $250 lower than the preceding Dodge one-ton. truck price. Announcement of this model follows closely on the reception of the new four-cylinder half-ton truck, and will supplement the complete line of six-cylinder trucks offered by the company. This one-ton four-cylinder truck was added to the extensive line to fill the demand for traditional Dodge Brothers truck dependability at mini- mum cost in purchase and operation. Offered on a 133-inch wheelbase, the new truck is available in eight body styles—panel, canopy, screen, ex- press, stake, platform, and farm. All bodies have eight feet of loading space. Powered with a motor having a bore of 3% inches and a stroke of 41% inches, the new four-cylinder one-ton truck develops 45 brake horsepower and has a piston displacement of 175.4 cubic inches. N. A. C. C. rating is 21.03 horsepower, and the compression ratio is 4.6 to 1. The engine has full force pressure lubrication to all main, connccting-rod and camshaft bear- ings. Accessories include air cleaner, crankcase ventilator and thermostat. The 41-pound crankshaft is balanced statically and dynamically, and is supported by three main bearings with a total area of 43.3 square inches. All bearings are removable and are bronze-backed and babbitt-lined. By unique design the vacuum gasoline feed system operates from the oil pump, so when the oil supply is dan- | gerously low the fuel stops, making {t impossible to burn out bearings by inadequate oil supply. , Four-wheel fully inclosed hydraulic internal expanding brakes insure pos- itive control at all times.

Stubble Field Burning Brings Good Results Crosby, N. D. Aug. 24.—Experi- ments conducted over a period of four years, and a close checkup on the more than 300 machines which have been sold to farmers in this as well as other states proves con- clusively, state officials of the Howell Weed and Stubble Burner company of Crosby, that it pays well to burn stubble fields before working the ground. This is usually done in the fall, and the crop put in without plowing, generally using a disc or duckfoot cultivator. About 50,000 acres were burned in Divide county alone last fall, and the results tell a story that cannot be disputed. Tere is a remarkable reduction in the amount of weed growth, especially wild oats, mustard, and French weed. Also the grain appears to be headed out better on burned fields, and the yield will be considerable more. Minot Still Operator Gets Fine, Jail Cell Minot, N. D..

Pfunder was a druggist’s clerk in Superior— today he is a millionaire. The Alger-like story of Pfunder's rise to success lies in the fact that he FREDERICK H.

While clerking in various drug stores for 10 years in Superior, the last one being DeFrehn's, he kept working on & formula for relief of stomach dis- orders. Through a partnership deal recent- ly made in Minneapolis, the former Superior man received over a million dollars for sale of a part interest. When Pfunder first evolved his tablets he distributed them among friends in a small way. Upon mov- ing to Minneapolis he continued to develop them in his home. He made no effort to urge them upon the pub- lic in any general way, but in spite of this an increasing number of per- sons called to ask for the tablets. Soon he was forced to give up his Position in the Fort Snelling hos- pital at the Twin Cities and devote his time to his own business. Although the tablets have been Previously sold only directly from nis offices, the former Superior man has arranged for a trial of real sales from the Hall drug store here.
