The new San Diego & Arizona railway has placed in use some foot operated switches that make the life of the brakeman much easier and at the same time prevent a switch from throwing itself in the jar of a long freight train’s passing over the rail intersection. When the arm op erating the switch is thrown, it falls under a spring catch from which it cannot emerge until the catch is opened by the foot lever. It is thus additionally safe and at the same time the brakeman finds it much easier and speedier than when he must put a pin in place after throw ing the switch to hold the switch from jumping open.

FORDSON It is a habit of Henry Ford to thoroughly try out any product he manufactures before he puts it on the market. .He personally must know it will do all he wants it to do before he will allow any^ body else to buy it. For thirty-five years he worked on this Fordson Tractor. He kept buying land until he had somthing like eight thousand acres in order that he might get a great variety of soil con ditions containing the plowing problems that meet the farmers of the world, and then the Fordson Tractor was put to work and made to take all sorts of practical tests for years before Mr. Ford puft it on the market. And, therefore, when it came on the market, was right, it was reliable, it would do the work he said it would do. People have bought it, have tried it out, have tested it, and it has proven to be all that Mr. Ford claims it to be, and this is why that while farm Tractors have been on the Aemrican market more than twenty years and while three hundred thousand have been sold one hundred thousand of that three hundred thousand are Fordson Tractors, and yet the Fordson has only been on the market two years. It has sold rapidly because when one farmer bought one, he prac tically converted the neighborhood to the desirability and profit of the Fordson Tractor on the farm. The Fordson is made small, compact, flexible, dependable. It is made to be much more convenient to handle than a horse. It wasi made so that anybody of ordinary common sense could operate and take care of it. We wanted to make it so that a machine would not have to be sold with every Tractor. It was made by a farmer for a farmer, and it has the endorsement of the farmers—the little farm mer and the big farmer. Some farmers have one, some have t'en and fifteen, and one farmer we know has fifty-six. It works/Just as well in the West as it does in the East. It is just as flexible in the North as it is im the South. It is just as profitable in the wheat fields as it is in the sugar and rice fields. It is just as flexible and useful on the fruit ranch as it is among the fields of oats and barley. It is just as useful and profitable in the lumber camp, railroad yard, coal mine, as it is in the oil fields or any other commercial line. But especially designed for the farmer, it is especially his necessity. Because it increases the production of eyery acre by enabling the farmer to cultivate his ground to better advantage than he can with mule or horse-power. It takes the sting and drudgery out of farm work. It is a great conserver of labor expense. Oh, Ht has so many money-saving advantages that the farmer can’t do without it and be progressive and make money. So we ask every farmer to come in and let us tell him more about this Fordson Tractor. Let us make a demonstration for him on his own farm. Let us test it out to his soil conditions. Let’s show him. Don’t delay because there are only so many Fordson Tractors to come to this territory. Get your order in now, and remember thati the Fordson after service is prompt and sure. We are supplied with everything necessary to keep your Fordson going every day in the year. Come in and let’s talk it over. j RiggsBrothers
