"which enter into the successful performance of the car. Its advanced design and Improved engineering are other factors." The new agency has three Maxwells on display and will have more shortly.

BRUNSWICK SURPRISE TIRE, SAYS KUPPING Joo Kupping, manager of the Richmond Tire company, has nicknamed the -Brunswick tire the "surprise" tire. Kupping gave the name to the Brunswick because of the fact that of all the Brunswicks he sold, only one has ever come back for adjustment, a record surprising enough to the tire trade to Justify the name, he thinks.

Expects Favorable Action On Jewish Nation Claims (By Associated Press) PARIS, Friday, Feb. 28 Dr. Sokolow, head of the Zionist delegation to the peace conference eaid today, referring to the appearance of the delegation before the peace conference, the council of ten gave attentive hearing to the Zionist case and that as far as he could judge the prospects were good for favorable action. He summed up the inspirations of the Jews as follows: Recognition of the historic title of the Jewish people to Palestine and the right to reconstitute there a "national home." Sokolow said the Jewish delegation holds that Palestine should comprise the whole territory within the historic boundaries of the ancient land of Isreal, with an outlet to the Red Sea as in the time of King Solomon. The delegation also asks that sovereign possession of Palestine be vested in the league of nations, with the duty to a mandatory power to prepare the country for the establishment of a Jewish national home and ultimately making possible the creation of an autonomous commonwealth. The creation of Jewish immigration

with the financial aid furnished by the Jewish masses of the world, is one of the principle things the mandatory power would have to consider as also would be the matter of the number of Jews the country could accommodate. Dr. Sokolow said that on the estimation of experts the population of Palestine at the time of its prosperity was from five to seven million persons, while now the Jewish population is no more than 600,000.

Traefer

A "Three Plow Tractor" The Waterloo Boy is a 12-25 H. P. tractor the size demonstrated by experience to be the most successful on the average farm. It has ample reserve power for prompt utility whenever needed, but the important fact is that it will deliver its rated power at all times. It pulls three fourteeninch plow bottoms through ordinary soil ; or 9-f t. double action disc harrows; or two binders through heavy grain ; and it does other field work in like proportion. It has practical, economical belt power for operating corn shellers, hay balers, ensilage cutters, grain separators and other power driven machinery.

Accessibility Every part of the Waterloo Boy can be reached through easily removed inspection plates. The entire construction is so simple and convenient that the average farmer can master it within a few hours. The ready access of the parts and an instruction book that tells clearly and definitely what to do in every instance in caring for the tractor make it possible for the owner to keep the mechanism in its original good working order.

Burns Kerosene Saves Fuel Cost The patented kerosene manifold, that gives the Waterloo Boy Its big advantage In saving fuel costs, i3 not an attachment but an integral part of the motor. This manifold receives the exhaust from both cylinders, which heats almost red hot the parts over which the kerosene must travel to reach the cylinders. The hot metal refines the kerosene so that it enters the cylinders a pure gas, giving perfect combustion. There is absolutely no chance for the vaporized kerosene to reliquefy before it enters the explosion chamber. Every drop becomes power.
