BOTTLERS AND OTHERS
ARE HIT HARD.
- Dear Sir:
Please give immediate publicity
through your local papers, to the fact
that:
“All bottlers, soda fountains and
ice cream manufacturers arc now
placed in “Class A” and' will receive
as their November allotment 25 per
cent of the amount of sugar consum
ed by them in August 1917, or just
one-half of the amount they were al
lotted for this month (October), ex
cepting the Ice Cream manufactur
ers, who until now were in “Class B.”
They, (the ice cream manufacturers)
wlho received 100 per cent this month,
will only receive 25 per cent of their
October allotment for November, and
a like amount for December, while
Candy manufacturers have the option
of receiving 50 per cent of the amount
consumed by them July, August and
September, 1917, based on “question
18,” or they may add the answers to
question 17-18 and 19, which is: The
Total Amount of Sugar used from
*SS=n.-V T-.
■ July 1, 1916 to December 31, 1916;
then July 1, 1917 to December 31
’ I 1917 inclusive; then divide those 15
J months by twelve, which gives the
■ monthly average; then deduct 6(
® i per cent of that and you have th<
' 1 candy man’s November allotment.”
In view of the approaching winter
f; even this “cut” will not prove as dis
;! astsrous as it would appear at first
p ! since the demand for Cold Drinks anc
Ice Cream is curtailed by reason oJ
1 cooler weather.
, Note—The above is in strict com
pliance with emphatic instructions is

- Hoover, Washington, D. C., Octobei

SWIFTON AMONG
THE STRICKEN.
Dr. George K. Stephens spent Sun
day at Swifton, where he had been
I called to investigate the alarming
conditions reported there from in
fluenza. On arriving there he found
' about four hundred cases, and stated
I what was all the more pitiful, was
' that the physicians were among those
; stricken and of course were unable to
look after the many sick ones. Dr.
.'Stephens wired Little Rock for phy
j sicians and nurses to go to Swifton
' and immediately Dr. Cooper and one
nurse were dispatched. More nurses
were expected this afternoon. Mrs.
| Spitzer is there and Dr. Stephens
hopes to be able to go again this af
ternoon. He states that the people
in that vicinity are vehy despondent
and have almost given up hope, but
every aid that can be given v/iil be
extended them.

Of 29 Competing Tractors
The Rumely Oil-Pull
Plowed at Lowest Cost
Per Acre
What follows is not what the Rumely makers have to say
of their own machines, but what unbiased judges at State and
National Tractor Demonstrations have officially found on ex
haustive tests.
NORTH DAKOTA STATE DEMONSTRATION AT MINOT
JUNE 19, 1918.
(29 Tractors Competing.) .
Synopsis of Official Findings

Note that the Rumely Oil Pull using kerosene
^used less fuel per acre than any competing tractor us
ing kerosene gasoline or both.
—plowed at the lowest cost per acre of all competing trac
tors. ;
Note the number of plows and depth of plowing. Ten so-called
3-plow tractors pulled on y two plows—eight tractors rated
14-27 to 24-36 h. p. pulled only three plows each.
-—the Rumely Oil Pull pulled four plows—the number it is
advertised to pull.
—it plowed 414 inches deep—the maximum depth—equaled
by two competitors only.
—it was theenly tractor burning kerosene that plowed

, AT NATIONAL DEMONSTRATION
At the National Tractor Demonstration at Salina, Kansas,
July 29th to August 3d, the Oil Pull was entered in all offi
Icial tests. No comparisons with other tractors can be made as
results of tests were not made public by the officials. All
tests were under the sup >rvision of agricultural authorities.
Following are the official figures for the 14-28 Oil Pull:
Drawbar Fuel Test.
Soil—moist gumbo, stubble ground.
Number of plows—4.
Depth of plowing—6 inches.
Fuel used per acre (kerosene) 2.92 gallons.
Note that fuel consumption per acre is almost identical with
that of the Oil Pull at Minot.
j Drawbar Fuel Test.
! Soil—stubble loose on top.
j Average drawbar pull—15.7 H. P.
f Maximum drawbar pull—17.3 H. P.
£ Showing a reserve power of 23/2 per cent over advertised
if rating .
ji ' Belt H. P. Test
Average belt H. P. 35.01.
j Showing a reserve power of 25 per cent over advertised rating.
{ Special attention is called to the latest size Oil-Pull
THE “BABY” RUMELY TRACTOR.
This is the smallest Tractor made by Rumely, and while
only recently introduced, it made an immediate hit. It weighs
only 5,000 pounds, pulls three plows and can be turned in a
it space of 20 feet.
There are five sizes, the others being as follows:
14-28 Rumely Oil Pull Tractor, of which over 200 are in
j use in Arkansas alone.
18-35 Rumely Oil Pull.
20-40 Rumely Oil Puli.
30-G0 Rumely Oil Pull.
All of these tractors operate on kerosene and are guaran
teed in writing to burn kerosene during the life of the ma
l chine. '
We will demonstrate the above Tractors at Newport all
next week, at the foot of Walnut street, known as the show
grounds. pi( li > * 'tUMfeM*
