Farmalls At Work
Between 200 and 300 interested
farmers attended the Farmall trac-
tor demonstration held by Gilbert
Beranek at the Bert Ink farm
north of Mount Vernon on Tues-
day. The field in which the plow-
ing demonstration was held is
farmed by Lyall Bryant.
Many of the farmers were sur-
prised at the power of the new
small Model A which pulled two
2 inch bottom plows in third
speed. The medium sized tractor,
Model H, pulled two 14-inch bot-
toms and the large size, Model M,
pulled three 16 inch bottoms. This
model has a top road speed of
close to 20 miles an hour.
I lowing was done under slightly
difficu,t conditions because of the
dryness of the field which was
.redan grass pastured this season.
Numerous farmers plowed a round
with the tractors.

TOWNSHIP WILL
HOLD ELECTION
'ON FIRE TAX LEVY
Date Has Been Set
By Trustees F o r
Sept. 26th
The b'ranklin Township Trustees,
voted on Tuesday evening to hold
mother election on the levying of
a tax of up to one mill for purchas-
ing, owning, renting or maintaining
fire apparatus or equipment. Tues-
day, Sept. 26th was the date set
for the election.
Although this sante measure re-
?cived 83 yes votes to 11 no votes
tt an election on August 15th, it
'acked eight votes of carrying' bc-
'ause under the peculiar provi-
Mons of the law the nleasure must
carry by 60 pet" cent of the vet,
east in the last preceeding general
election. The Trustees have made
a careful cheek of the poll books
~t the last general election and be-
lieve that there must i)e 91 yes
votes to carry the proposition.
Discussion among ~armers sinc(
the election has brought out the
fact that not all of those interest-
ed in having fire protection had
realized the importance of voting
and of Lbringing their wife to vote
as in most cases both husband and
wife voted in the general election.
The proposition to be voted on
merely authorizes the Trustees to
levy a tax up to one mill for the
purchase or rental of fire apparatus
and equipment. What equipment
is rented or purchased, if the tax
is authorized, will be up to the
Trustees.
The maxinlunl tax ~or any one
year iander this levy would be ten
cents for each $100 of assessed val-
uation.
The polls will be opened at eight
o'clock in the City Hall at ,Mount
Vernon and will remain open until
eight o'clock in the evening. The
Trustees and township clerk wil
act as judges and clerks of the
election.
