Hundreds of farm owners in this community will be interested in this announcement—in knowing that Fordson tractors are ready for distribution. The urgent need for greater production and the vital necessity of employing man-saving machinery in farm work is apparent to everyone. Remembering these immense tasks ahead, the coming of the Fordson is of importance to every farm owner at this time. The Oliver No. 7—the Plow for the Fordson “We appreciate the co-operation the Oliver Chilled Plow Works have given us in designing the proper plow for the Fordson Tractor. “We know that with the Oliver No. 7 plow the Fordson will work ; to the very best advantage.” [Signed] Henry Ford C& Son J Oliver No. 7 has been built for the Fordson. Oliver No. 7is strictly a one-man machine. A trip lever right at the operator s hand raises or lowers the bottoms. An even depth adjustment lever is right at hand, too. Ybu will appreciate the high clearance of plows and beams because they save time and annoyance—just as the rake between bottoms prevents clogging with trash and makes every second of operating time count in plowed ground. The Oliver No. 7 embodies principles of plow construction founded on sixty years of making plows, of intensive study of every existing soil condition—and constant attention to the plow requirements of the tractor since the tractor industry began. Come in and see this complete outfit—the Fordson and the Oliver No. 7 Plow. Geo. Bryan _ls (Iff ’W^afeb-p iiiihiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiwm^ wa \

THEFT IS CHECKED

Insurance Embargoes on South American Shipments.

Pilfering Formerly Was Credited to the Canal^Zone but Has Been Reduced to Minimum.

Pilfering is still a great problem In the case of merchandise shipped to ports on the w r est coast of South America. At several ports the extent of the evil has been greatly lessened as a result of insurance embargoes on goods destined for those ports or in response to constant complaint on the part of the consignees, according to Commerce Reports. Tn Mollendo pilfering, so far as Bolivian goods are concerned, has been reduced to small proportions in consequence of an agreement between the Peruvian and Bolivian governments which provides for the prompter dispatch of merchandise for Bolivian destination. Nevertheless, the problem of pilfering remains a serious one at practically every port on the west coast.

Formerly it was the fashion to say that much of the .pilfering took place in the Panama Canal Zone, and there was probably some basis for the statement in the days when traffic through the canal was stopped by the slides in Gaillard cut and freight was badly congested at Colon and Balboa. It ds probably true, however, that even in those times much of the loss attributed to pilfering was due to unusual handling or exposure. Since traffic through the canal has been resumed on a normal basis the loss from pilfering in the Canal Zone has been reduced to tin almost negligible point. Goods trans-shipped to Colon and Balboa are stored in pier sheds immediately upon discharge. The sheds are large, well built, fireproof, and can be easily guarded and protected. Both in the discharge from ship to pier and in the reloading from pier to ship the Panama Railroad company exercises strict supervision over all operations, since it has charge of all port facilities and does most of the stevedoring. To protect itself against claims for loss the railroad company long since instituted an elaborate checking system. Checkers not only take account of the number and weight of cases and packages loaded or unloaded on the piers but also note the condition of the containers as they pass over the piers and put aside for careful inspection cases that appear to be underweight or to have been tampered with. In many instances pilfering can be detected by a difference in the recorded weight and the weight on arrival in Panama, though pilferers are clever enough, as a rule, to substitute articles of the same weight for those they have abstracted.

Moreover, a number of watchmen and detectives are employed by the Panama Railroad company. Some of the detectives work as dock laborers. The watchmen cannot be in all parts of the pier sheds, and in a far corner of a shed or a hold the stevedores may handle a case with such roughness as to cause it to break open, enabling its contents to be easily carried off. Detectives can exert an effective restraining influence in such cases.

It is clear, then, that the precautions against pilfering in the Panama Canal Zone are extensive and effective and that the source of the pilfering must be sought for elsewhere.

Salaries Are Increased. Owing to the great advance in the cost of living, the local government has increased the salaries of all its employees who were paid under 1,800 escudos ($1,945) per annum. The increases in some cases have amounted to 45 per cent, writes Consul John F. Jewell, Lourenco Marques, Portuguese East Africa. The resultant excess of expenditure over the budget estimate for salaries is in round figures $313,200. As the budget could not bear any additional expenditure without a deficit that would embarrass at present and in future hinder the development and the progress of the province of Mozambique, to meet this new expense item the government has increased the fees for licenses for bars, canteens, kiosks, etc., the telegraph and telephone rates, and the export tax on sugar and has established a “military” tax. Increased revenue is expected from these measures as follows: Export tax on sugar, $216,000; telegraph and telephone rates, $27,000; other taxes and fees, $46,600.

Bermuda Potato Crop. It is estimated that the Triumph or fall crop of potatoes which will be reaped in Bermuda will be 82,500 bushels, according to Vice Consul Stillman W. Ellis, Hamilton. This is less by 8,000 bushels than the fall crop of 1916, in spite of the fact that more acreage was planted to potatoes the past year. The reason given for . this by the director of agriculture is that “the earlier plantings have been affected by unfavorable seasons and will not produce a normal crop. The fields planted later give promise of good yields.”

Utilize Burning Mine’s Blast. At Zwickau, in Saxony, a fire is still burning, or was burning when war was declared, which began in the fifteenth century. This also is a burning coalmine, and as long ago as 1837 that German thoroughness which the world is learning so sadly to understand put even a burning mine to use, by conveying the hot air through pipes to conservatories of vast extent and productiveness. d Notice, Dodge Owners The service station of the Ligonier Auto Sales Co. lias been moved to the rear of the Levy store just east of the old location.
