BOWMAN EXPLAINS POSTPONEMENT OF SCHOOL ELECTION Nothing is to be gained by v_'.elud- ing ourselves into the idea that a de- velopment of this kind can be had for a little money. The statement ‘has been made that the tax on the farming community will be about 500 per acre. It will be much greater than that. and. in addition. all the live stock on the farms “ill bear their percentage, as the taxation is not confined to real property. j A school cannot be built and equip- ped under $400,000. which means that interest and sinking fund will absOrb about $30,000 a year. and even if the ‘InGrange figures are trimmed down to $70,000 the total charge win be $100,000 or $3.57 on each 100 of as. sossed. l1‘ota1 ................... 3122-53330 If a High School is to he of real benefit, it must be conducted on a proper scale with a staff of insH-ur- ‘tors qualified to teach.

Main Street ‘ Te The Twin City 12-20 gives you more and better service because its lG-valve (valve-in-theohead) engine uses fuel heretofore wasted. The double 'valve area quickly exhausts all burnt gases, leav- ing a clean cylinder, so that the new charge de- livers full power. The counterbalanced crankshaft reduces wear and vibration. ‘Removable cylinder walls means uniform cooling, quick and easy re- placements. Pressure feed oiling through drilled crankshaft insures positive lubrication. The transmission is mounted on Hyatt Roller bear- ings. Gears are drop forged, steelâ€"cut, heat- treated and run in a bath of oil. The Twin City organization back of the tractor gives you more and better service because it has branches and repair stocks and experts within easy reach.
