FORDSON TRACTORS The facts in connection with the distribution of Fordson Tractors in Indiana by Henry Ford & Son, of Dearborn, Michigan, are— The Governor, James P. Goodrich, and the State Council of. Defense having advised Mr. Ford that the Use of tractors in this state is especially necessary this year to secure the maximum quantity of food as a war measure, ana the concurrence in this opinion by State" Md[Administrator and the Committee ol Fwd Produefaon and Conservation, led Mr. Ford to immediately order that one thousand tractors be allotted to Indiana, to be delivered into the State at the rate of one carload of seven each per day. In order to facilitate the arrangements, the corporation known as the Indiana Tractor Company was organized to handle the details from their headquarters, 1327 E. Washington Streep Indianapolis, under the supervision of Professor T. A. Coleman of Purdue University, the State Leader of County Agricultural Agents and to distribute the tractors through the instrumentality of countyand local Ford dealers and other distributors,direct to the farmers,the whole transaction involving no profit whatsoever to any of the persons contnbut ing their services, nor upon the part of the manufacturer. CENTRAL GARAGE i - ■ ■>' ’ 91 R Rensselaer, Ind. has arramreed to distribute seven of the Fordson Tractors to the farmers in this locality and is hopeful that they will be received in the near future. This is a patriotic effort of practical value and will do much towards the winning of the war and the future prosperity of the farmers of Indiana.

PRODUCTION OF AIRPLANES.

The building or aeroplanes in America was not a new competitive industry to meet English, French or German prices on a comipodity for profit, but the first order and final order to American engineers was to create a better engine and plane than anything existing and to build in larger quantities than had ever been dreamed of. Few people realized the gigantic tasks set before American engineers by the signal corps requirements. The building of 50,000 Pullman cars would have been child’s play as compared with the building of 20,000 aeroplanes. The building of 50,000 small-two electric light plants would likewise have been child’s play as compared with the tasks put before the signal corps. The task of the engineers of the shipping board is small by comparison, as is the actual task of production by the shipping board producing department. Actually to copy any one plane offered by the allies to the American engineers would have meant disaster to the signal corps’ program. Every engine and every plane submitted by the allies had inherent weaknesses that had to be eliminated. Every ten days brought additional information of new developments and requests for new additions, subtractions r changes for the betterment of the planes. In a great many cases it was possible with minor changes greatly to improve the American product. The changes were so vital that it was necessary to redesign to meet the conditions. There are only two or three men in America who are capable of designing and tailoring a complete aeroplane, and even these few American engineers are not capable of making successful designs of the different types of machines wanted. The aircraft board has been almost entirely composed of civilians and officers either entirely without aviation experience of any kind or with a very limited knowledge of it, and the information supplied by officers of the allies was in a great many cases confusing. It was necessary to shift rapidly from one type of construction and from one apparently most important design to varied types and several designs. Very few people connected with the aircraft program, if they did realize the immensity of the task placed before them, had the authority or the appropriations properly to equip and fulfill the program. The present publicity and unfavorable comment on aeroplane work is costing this, government millions daily. Much valuable working time is now being wasted in comment and arguments of newspaper articles on the airplane program, the range of comment running from the molder to the chief signal officer. The tremendous work of creation and organization could only be properly investigated and reported on to the President by a committee of big men who have been big manufacturers of specialized and intricate mechanism. The statement of one senator that airplanes of a type such as use the Liberty motor could be made at big profit for $3,000 each is certainly ridiculous. Under present wage scales and manufacturing conditions, Liberty motors can not be huilt and installed at this price, even if they were built in hundred thousand lots.

To add to the general trouble and confusion of the signal corps, certain officials in Washington and New York wish to establish a mail route between New York and Washington at this time, when a trained aviator capable ofgJflying such a route has cost the States government at least $50,000. The English government has made estimates that the average price a mile for airplane service is $35.-. These costs, of course, .must take into consideration good and bad aviators, enormous breakage and preparatory expenses. Some officials high in authority who are able to make strong recommendations are suggesting and insisting on the mail route by airplanes between New York and Washington. Other enthusiastic officials have laid out an airplane route from New York to San Francisco, taking a map and, as in the olden days, drawing a straight line between New York and San Francisco and saying this shall be a route to be traversed by our American aviators delivering mail, seeds and mail order patent chairs along the route. When the eastern-western route was laid out by these enthusiastic officials, the fact that the route traversed almost the center of Lake Erie and ran across the southern end of Lake Michigan, where the lake is seventy-five miles wide, directly over the city of Chicago, which is thirty miles square, made no difference. It also traversed the great western desert, where there are no gasoline stations, water supplies or food supplies or any other supplies. The members of the present engineering and manufacturing organization of the signal corps, if taken from the red tape and permitted to proceed as they have been accustomed to work in the positions they have formerly held, can deliver the 25,000 airplanes needed, as quickly or more quickly than .they could be delivered with a new start by the combined nations of the earth unquestionably a reorganization of the dictating heads of departments should be made and each department should have full and complete authority in a definite program to be determined at once. This program should be so planned that every thirty days each of these departments would have full and complete information on the progress of every other department. There should be one real executive at the entire head of the airplane program who can on receiving definite reports and definite requests, say immediately “Yes” or “No" or “Go ahead.” These changes in directing the present organization are needed just as they would be needed if the task were that of making 25,000 Pullman cars to meet a special or unique railway engines with a new and com- ’ plicated set of requirements. At present we have possibly 100

square miles of aviation field and hangars, students’ quarters, training quarters, officers’ quarters, machine shops, experimental shops, repair shops, hundreds of carloads of material delivered daily to manufacturing plants. At least 200,000 men and women are working in the various plants making, fitting, trying the various parts that will be assembled into Liberty airplanes; they will be the best planes for their work that have ever been produced. And this organization up to the present moment, in spite of the red tape, profiteering, delay, graft, mistakes and waste, never has been equaled and could not now be duplicated by any nation op earth! If the present organization under immediate competent direction is permitted to proceed more airplanes can be delivered to opr government in the next two years than have been built all together by the English, French, German and Italian countries. It is absolute folly to discourage the present workers or to harass a large’majority of them. Surely the incompetents should be weeded out as quickly as possible; surely the organization which is now sadly demoralized should be welded together and some big, competent man should have full authority to go ahead. A complaint board should be created immediately with a highly trained and complete personnel of efficient, mechanical, technical, practical men to receive complaints from anybody connected with the airplane in any department, from the engine oiler up. This board could make silently and quickly- investigations of all kinds and report to the chief. Congress and the senate would be relieved of a big load could proceed with other important duties, among which might be assistance in the reorganization of many other departments of the* government.

The Logansport G. A. R. * n session Saturday went on recordas favoring a very quiet Memorial Day observance this year. Although the arrangements are made by the committees appointed by the mayor, it is probable that the committee will defer to the wishes of the veterans and there will be no Memorial Day parade in Logansport this year. It is the opinion of the veterans there that** the patriotic organizations should assemble quietly at the cemetery and there hold the Memorial Day exercises. It is understood Hon. W. T. Wilson will be asked to deliver the Memorial Day address at that place. ' Just recevied a car load of stove size har coal. J. C. Gwin Lumber Co. Phone 6.
