On Friday of last week our cylinder press that prinU the paer as well as book and lob work of vari ous kinds, suffered a break-down. Immediately Portland brass foundries were called into requisition to repair the damages, and the package of bro ken parts went to the local depot to go to the Rose City !y express, and of course knowing that Uncle Sam uel was in charge we felt perfectly ( ?) secure (?) in entrusting the package to his fostering care, so we rested in contentment (?) until Monday morn ing and then no package came, Tues day went by and no package, and we got busy with the telephone and found that the nackago that was shinned out of this station at 4:88 P. M. Friday, arrived at its destination about . 4 P. M. on Monday, three days after it started on its long journey of 26 miles to the metronous -f Orecron. Then to show our continued confi dence ( T) in the splendid ( ?) service that is being rendered by Uncle Sam uel in his wonderful express business, we got on the train Wednesday at 9:44 A. M., we;,4, to Portland una got the package and brought it home in person. To prove the efficiency of the News-Times mechanical department this big twelve-page edition was put on the press for the first run, which should nave been made on Tueafry, at 4 P. M. Wednesday and the 8.-0 impressions that were required for this issue were made and dvt paper comes out nractically on time today. Uncle Samuel - is a wonderful man when it comes to licking the Kaiser, but he is a dismal failure when it comes to running the express and rail road business of the eountrv as ev eryone knows, who does business .with him. He not only gives the worst of service but he charges prices that the express and railroad companies never thought - of before, verily, government ownership in this coun try is great! Forest.

' Pay your subscription now. - That Detroit hog that was kept in cold storage for 25 years must be cool and mellow by this time. We suggest that it be turned over to the meat profiteers for their personal consumption. Every advertisement tells truth. This conclusion of peace, it would seem, is something of a "watchful waiting" affair. v Hurry Up Thai Orte for a Fcrdscn Trader On account factory being 21,000 behindjon bonafide order, no deliveries will be made to agent except against bonafide orders on their files. , 'FORDSON TRACTOR CO., Dearborn, Mich. . Theove telegram was received recently by the Otto Erickson Co Itjia selfexplanatory. 21,000 behind on bonafide orders! Think of itl Already one carload of our tractors, ordered in anticipation of our needs, has been transferred to MoMinnville. The Tractor That Gives SERVICE Read This Letter Albany, Ore., April 17. 1919 W. W. Crawford, Albany,- Ore. v Dear Sir: . . In reply to your inquiry as to the service we have received from the FORDSON Tractor purchased from you last November, wishto state that it is with great' pleasure we - cheerfully recom mend this Tractor to our friends and neighbors, basing our opinion upon actual performance in the .field. , . ' Our FORDSON Tractor has been in constant use since the date of purchase, plowing and harrowing land under all conditions, hard, dry and sandy soil and in the rain, where there -was so much water in the field at times it would run in the furrow. Wo wish to call your attention to one particular run of eight days, of twenty-four hours a day, plowing. About half of this land was stiff, stubborn soil, had been pastured and tramped down, .making it very hard to plow.. The FORDSON had plenty reserve ' power at all times and under all conditions at normal motor speed. During the entire eight days run we kept an account of fuel and oil consumed and our total expense did not exceed fifty cents an acre, in fact our general expense is from forty to fifty cents and never exceeded fifty cents an acre. ... , v The eight days continuous run was made without a single me chanical repair or adjustment; only stops made were for oil, gas, water and change of drivers. For our night run our light was fur nished direct from the FORDSON magneto. , 1 In cultivating forty acres of orchard we found it more conven ient than with horsos for plowing round trees, head-lands and cor ners. We found the FORDSON to be durable, reliable and econom ical. y ' ' -..-.vr '. I-'-'- -' ' " " Yours truly ? .- - WILSON BROTHERS. OTTO ERICKSON ea CO. Bearerton ' Hillsboro - . . . Forest Grore
