That's partly because Tuxedo is mellowed by ageing in wood from three to years. Ageing is only thebeginning thebigthing is thefamous "TuxedoProc ess," that nobody else can use. -rrtlwV- Its Subsoilmg A u Featuie Alone Will Pay For Em una Published Weekly at Independence, Polk County Oregon, on Friday.

Moores and pushed him into the ring against Ben Olcott The Benton County Courier makes a loud "holler" about being misquoted by the Oregonian but as yet not loud enough to be heard in Port land. The Oregonian seems to have Suddenly become afflicted with deafness. The first direct response of the people to the fake alarm of the dividend patriots, their allied interests and tory newspapers occurred in Michi gan last week when Henry Ford, a so-called peace-at-any-price man, won over Senator Will iam Alden Smith as the Republican choice for president. Mr. Ford was not a candidate and so continually declared while Senator Smith has been a popular Republican leader in Michigan for years. Under these circumstances, the victory for Ford is remarkable and shows without a doubt that the people of Michigan are uppoed to mili tarism in any form, even if disguised under the name of "preparedness." The same result will occur in every one of the other states should the issue be presented as it was in Michigan.

Y:,u, know the value of subsoihng. You know it enables the soil to absorb, store up and hold more moisture for dry spells and drain better during excessive rainy spells. It reduces the chances of ruination of vour crop by d.outh. It insures larger crof yields. The "Big Bull" Subsoils with its Ouil Wheel because tke bull wheel runs in the furrow and is studded with "spade" lugs 3J" to 5" long-. These lugs digr into the hardpan or plowsole made bv horses and i'c.v shares and tear it loose to a depth of 3 to 5 inches. This u "the best way of subsoiliiiK known up to the present time" eoncludea Owney Meyers, Brookston, Ind. Reports from hundreds of Bull Tractor owners, on file at the factory office, show an average Increased crop yield of 22 per cent Till AMIPtlOAN TOBACCO COMPANY COUNTIES RULE ROADS Whtra city charters do net specifically exempt eitis fro the jurisdiction of the County Courts in road matters, the mo aey raised in such municipali ties fur road imprevmnts is t be expended by the Couaty Court aid not by the msaisipal authorities, according te aa opin ion of Attoraey Geaeral Brown. After citing the road I w, ths Attorney General is kw opiaion says: "Tst language does not pro vide for paymeat by the eouaty to th road diatrict, or to the city in caae the road district is composed of a-1 incorporated city or town, but it provides for the exediture of such road funds in such district by the county it self in thw aianner provided by tke road law, the mei.y remain- ig ia the county treasury uatil the same ha bn earaea, as provided by statue. In case the couaty court ap points a strtt't commissioner or othr road supervisor of the municipality aa mad supervisor for the county or la supervise the expenditure of that portioa of the county road fund appor tioned to th distrif t, eonsisting of an incorporated city or towa, the proe'tiure is in no wise changed. The money is not to be paid over to thu city ano. does nut become the property of the ci vilian)' resjvot. but remains in tlie county tr.' isury and is to bt paid i at i i the same manner as tiie road in hi Is in another dis t: u-t."-Ore iron Tax Liberator. The range waa 10 percent to 33$ per cent. Some used hones, some used other tractor before they got their Big Bull Tractors. In fcoth instances there were increased yields. Another advantage of thin patlented "Biff Bull" featuie is better traction. "The 'Bull therefore ni'eda less power to do the ssroe ork Bnd this mean cheaper opeiation" says G. C. Koudy, Aberdeen, D. 'I would not do without thiB feature' at any price" wrote Ed. Frichard, Tcrril, Iowa. "The Speed of the 'Gig Bull' without overheating, is anotner thing that puts it in a class by itself in my estimation" writes S. R. Conner, P..ula Valley. Okla. It is aot the number of plows you pull,' but the number of acrea you plow that counts. "In comparing the power of two tractors the H. L. Phone Main 3821 y Home off The i Ford and Buick speed at which they are moving mist alwaya be considered" say the experts of the U. S. Dept. of Agriculture in their Weekly News Letter of January 26, 1916. Now then, figure out for yourself what it would mean to you in dollars and cents to hve your crop increased, aay even 10 per cent (a ery conservative estimate) Note how oloee this gain would cimo to paying for a Big Bull the first season, of how much you wtuld have left "ovtr its cost as clear profit.
