A » P. & O. No. 5 Wheeled Walking Gang Plows The No. 5 is an excessively strong und heavy plow, being designed for the heaviest kind of work. Nearly all steel. Hitch pivots easily, regardless of draft on clevis. Ratchets, levers and lever connections all of steel. Axles are attached well toward front of plow and crank back- ward, throwing most of weight to rear and enabling plow to stick to bank when working on hillsides. — Will not skid on steepest grades. Equally efficient on level ground, Only one lever to handle in getting bottoms into or out of ground. Secondary lever levels bottoms when working in un- even ground, Axel bearings made of heavy steel plate, with bosses swaged on to give wide bearing on axles. Extra high clearance under beams, and wide space between bottoms, prevents clogging when working in trashy ground. Ample clearance under points when bottoms are raised for trans- porting. Any of the standard types of bottoms can be furnished in 12, 14 or 16 inch. Made in two or three furrow sizes. The two can be converted to a three furrow by adding the third plow at- tachment. If you are needing a plow this spring it will be to your bene- fit to come in and look at our plows and get our prices. If un- able to come in drop us a line and we will be glad to write you. DECIDES FOR MARTIN LUX. A decision handed down by District Judge Scales last Mon- ff day releives Martin Lux, a well | pil | known farmer of this commu-| ph \nity, of any obligation to make |& {double payment on a note for | $400 which was thrown into liti- | Ue gation through the closing of | ff the Union State bank. Mr. Lux, | it appears, had made this note to \ the bank and paid it off shortly before the bank closed. The | note had been rediscounted to an outside bank, and when the pay- | {Ue ment was made here Mr. Lux ;was informed that his note | would be returned shortly and! 2 | given over tohim. A draft was | ‘forwarded to the bank holding, the note and while this draft was in transit, the local bank! closed it doors. The court de- cision is in effect that Mr. Lux’s | ¢ | claim is entitled to placement in the preferred class—class 2—by the local bark, which relieves | Mr. Lux of repayment of the obligation.—Nezperce Herald.
