TALKING ACROSS THE OCEAN
Human Voice Now Transmitted Al
most Daily Through the Advance
Made in Wireless Electricity.
The human voice has been trans
mitted across the Atlantic ocean al
most daily by the invisible waves of
wireless electricity. A remarkable
: series of experiments are being car
ried on at present by the Marconi
experts at St. Johns, Newfoundland.
Almost daily connections are estab
lished between this point and the
station at Chelmsford, near Lon
don, a distance of over 2,000 miles.
So perfect are the arrangements
that the voice of the expert in
charge of the English stations has
been recognized. Wireless operators
aboard the SS. Imperator picked
up the same messages sent out from
St. Johns when off the Irish coast
or fully 1,500 miles out. The world
is doubtless just entering a wonder
ful new era in the history of wirfe
tas transmission. One of the en
gineers active in these experiments
confidently announces that in a year
or two at most the public will be
talking- across the Atlantic and that
Hie telephone rates will be cheaper
than for similar distances over land.

TRADING WITH SMYRNA.
According to a recent consular re
port from Smyrna trading in that
district since June 1, 1919, has been
attended by various difficulties. The
districts controlled by the Greek
forces of occupation have been al
most completely cut off from the in
ferior, and Smyrna as a distribution
Point for much of Asia Minor has
suffered extremely as the result. In
Edition the very high and constant
ly fluctuating dollar exchange has
Neatly handicapped American
Me. Imports from the United
Mes have included \mst quantities
0i foodstuffs, as well as petroleum
M its derivatives. Orders for con
querable quantities of oleo and mut
oils have been placed in the
mted States, also an order for 6,
00 horse and ox plows to be given
0 Peasants of this region, both
Ms and Greeks. Several experi
, have also been made or are to
e friade with regard to tractors.

FORDSON
TRADE MARK
Farm Tractor
A Fordson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the
farmer. It doesn’t make any difference how you spell that pros
perity—whether it is increased production; whether it is in the saving1
that comes from a machine over a horse or mule, whether it comes in a
release from the drudgery and all-day and all-night labor on the farm
tor both man and wife—because the Fordson answers all those prob
lems to the satisfaction of the farmer.
It can’t be otherwise. These are the days of progress, and
power on the farm is the necessity.. It is only a question of what kind
of power the farmer is going to have, but no farmer with the facts now
before him can question the monetary advantage of machine power
over horse and mule-power. The Tractor is the farmer’s necessity just
as much as the sun is the necessity for growing crops.
All that is necessary for a farmer is to know his Fordson Trac
tor as familiarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He
wants to use the same amount of reason and common sense. In the
Fordson Tractor is the concentrated power of eighteen horses, and as
flexible as the movement of your arm—much more nexjble than horse
control—and beyond all comparison much more economical both in ser
vice and in keep. Then it will do so many things that horses and
mules cannot do, and it doesn’t eat when idle.
We don’t believe there is any question in the mind of any
farmer as to the necessity for a Tractor, but he may have some doubts
as to what make of Tractors, so that is the reason we are putting this
advertisemen in this paper to draw his attention to the Fordson
Tractor. This is why we put he above arguments before him, and why
we now invite him to come in to our place of business and view the
Fordson Tractor. Let us show him what it has done. Let us prove to
him its superiority over any other Tractor. It means more to him than
it does to us. When we sell a Tractor, w e make a small profit, but
when he buys a Tractor he buyys a power that is working for him
when he buys a Tractor he buys a power that is working for him
for the other kinds. Come in!
