Fordson T ractors Now

Parent-Teachers As-
sociation Meets Friday
The new low price, $463.00, de-
livered here, on the Fordson
Tractor,• is $230.00 under the old
price. This new price has
brought the Tractor down now
within the reach of nearly every
farmer, and there is no doubt
but that a great many farmers
will now buy one of these useful
farm machines who have been
bolding back, thinking that they
were not able to buy at the old
price. But they are sure going
to sell at the new low price, for
you cannot think of a machine
that would be of more advantage
on the farm than one of these
Tractors. So if you are figuring
on purchasing a Tractor any
time this year you had just as
well get it now and thus have it
ready to do your spring plough-
ing. Anyway call around at the
Hedlund Garage and learn more
about the machine itself, and the
great help that it would be to
any farmer.
It is requested that we an-
nounce that the Parent-Teachers
Asssociation will hold their next
regular business meeting Friday
afternoon of this week, at 3:45,
at the school auditorium.
It is stated that there will be
some important business up be-
fore the meeting and it is earn-
estly hoped that there will be a
large attendance.

Selling Incubators
Mr. Lee England, of the Eng-

Considering the early date we
think this is a right good show-

The poultry business is getting
to be a right big thing in Okla-
homa, and our part of the coun-
try is doing its part to build it
up still larger here.

How 8naket Move.
Snakes move on their ribs. The
snake's ribs are Jointed at the back-
bone, and extend down over each side
of the body. The ends are connected
with plates on the underside of the
snake. These plates have projecting
edges, which take hold of the surface
of objects beneath the reptile. When
rJie snake moves his ribs, therefore, he
can move forward Just as rapidly and
as swiftly as though he had a thousand
legs. If you don’t believe this, try the
experiment of putting a snuke on a
smooth plate of gloss and watch Its
vain attempts to run. The reuson
that the snake can move little or no
distance Is because the projecting
edges of these plates can find nothing
to take hold of on the smooth surfuce
of the glass.
