Track Laying Device for
Fordson Introduced by
-the W. C. Perkins Mot
or Company,
A device lo convert the regular
Kordson into n tractor'of the cat
erpillar type was Introduced to the
-trade (his week by the W. C Cerk-
ins Motor company.
The Kuller Crawler attachment,
us the accessory Is called, has met
with much approval among the
valley farmers to whom it has
b'en demonstrated by Walter J.
Htrtnghuiu of the 1'erkins Motor
company.
The crawler makes the regular
Kordson a two ton traclor and gives j
it an abundance of power due to a
slightly lower gear . ratio and the
Improved traction afforded by the
caterpillar tpe track.
The apparatus Itself constats
principally of an endless track at
tachment und special wheels lo
which it Is geared thus giving the
Kordson a grip on the ground
under all conditions.
The first demonstration look
place turt Monday under the mi
prrvifilon of L. D. l.euhinan. man
ager of the Portland branch of
I he Trackson Kull Cra-wler com
pany by whom the nllachnient Is
manufactured.
On this occasion the Kordson
pulled out a Hi-ton steum roller
si nek In the mini near the Mount
Kmlty Timber company mill. The
demonstration showed the great
pulling; power of fho Kordson with
Lite Trackson equipment.
Mr. Ftriniihaui i,aw been busy the
'remainder of this week demon
strating the appliance tinder actual
farm conditions und on the high
way equipment.
I lemonsi rations were given on
farms at Summervllle ami Imbler.
In these demonstrations the Kord
son pulled three bottom plows on a
14-Inch cut with ease.
The power of the Trackson ap
paratus on the Kordson was also
effectively shown in a trial upon
the highway pulling drags and

BALLOON TIRES
CLAIMED IDEAL
FOR BUICK CARS
After some llttlo amount ofexper-?
itneiit Into the matter of tho most;,
practical and economical tires fur
the Butck cars they handle, Jen-,
nings and tihumate are recommend
ing General Tires In either ftlx ply
balloons or regular sizo low pres
sure cords. ;
The General vix ply bolloon tires
This vehicle appeared in the lust ,7 7 V ' . , 7
stages or disrepuir to the casual
glance but it was really capable of
getting out and moving along t a
rate of speed considerably above Ilo
miles an hour.
Tho motorists approaching this
Hort of a car naturally did not
think that a speed cop would drive
such a Jimk ptle and so went right
on pant without a thought of slow
ing down. Gordon then picked
them up by tho time honored tor
tolso nnd hare method by simply
following them until they slowed
down to go through some smvill
town,
Tho average traffic officer will
not arrest a mun going slightly
above the prescribed 3 it miles on

of them are home und fumlly men. i the only time a man In arrested for

vantages of the balloon tire with
the right, strength to carry the load
and reduces puncture risk about 'JO
per cent.
General's mastery of Internal
friction enabled this company to
produce, five yearn ugo, the first
low pressure cord tire ever put on
the market and today that samo
outstanding long experience has
enabled tt to produco the success
ful six ply balloon cord.
Either the regular size, or six ply
balloon tires aro suitable for Butck
cars, according to Jennings and
Shumate. These tires are said to
combine long mileage with the easy
riding quality of low pressure tins.

There Is No Substitute For-
Expert
Workmanship
WliHi you want nuuhinc work done vour automobile rngbic
rebuilt and cylinders rej-round - there's no liair-way method
to accomplish' the job. It's cither right and worth the money
you spend, or it's wrong nnd eventually a total loss.
There's no substitute lor expert workmanship. The man
'smicmsing the job must know what to do and how to do it -a
knowledge : that comes only after years of training, study and
experience. The equipment used must be complete, high-grade,
and accurate to the minute fraction of an inch.
A "Leighton job" insures that character of fine workman
ship. And with it goes a devotion lo service that is unsurpassed
and of tremendous value.

Laughed at Mr. Jonas' jokes.
Told Mrs. Jones she couldn't

that It Is a Sunday afternoon, lit

unethical lo bait a driver, that Is

another thing speed trips are now
going less than 4u miles an hour Is! MANUFACTURE OF
when he passes another car or cars

However this Is not a fixed rule by
any means und tho motorist should
not feel himself t einpt at any time
above tho 8 a mile limit.
Many and varied are the exciftr-a
given tho officer by the motorist
when caught speeding. The major
