Hundreds of farm owners in this community will be interested in this an nouncement—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 oFrdson 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 & Son. Oliver No. 7 has been built for the Fordson. Oliver No. 7 is strictly a one-man machine. A trip lever right at the opera eor's hand raises or lowers the bottoms. An even depth adjustment lever is right at hand, too. Y'ou 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 in dustry Corne in and see this complete outfit—the Fordson and the Oliver No. 7 Plow.

Be fore we rookies had time to realize what had happened a dozen more had landed in and around the old family trench. Then the U. S. ar tillery tried its hand at a little counter battery and Fritz shut up." Lieutenant Dawson's first fight ing experience came as a Fourth of July celebration. "First we sent over to Mr. Bosche," he writes, "a good dc.e of gas, followed by an hour of pill dropping. Then we went over. In his front line we found nothing alive. Where his machine guns were we found pieces of Maxim machine guns, dead machine gunners." In the second line they found the foe themselves; and the bloody en counter began.
