Fordsort TRADE MARK. < Mr. Jay Miller of Mt. Ayr bought a Fordson Tractor last March. In order to have a complete outfit he also purchased an Oliver No. 7 Plow and a Roderlck-jLean tandem disk Harrow. At the time Mr. Miller owned but four head of horses and figured the Tractor a better investment than four or five more horses. He “disked in" 55 acres of bats and plowed 60 acres of corn ground at a fuel cost of $69.00. -- ( He had already sown 30 acres of wheat and when harvest came he hitched his Tractor to’ the binder and cut the wheat and oats without putting his horses into the field. Since then he has plowed his wheat and oats stubble. Mr. Miller has not spent to exceed $2.00 for repairs or labor on his machine and the motor is running like a sewing machine. By the way, Mr. Miller has sold two of his four horses and will only keep two head this winter. * Central Sales Company Phone Three-One-Nine

SENATOR HARDING ON FARMING

The. attitude of the Republican candidate for president towards the agricultural interests of the country, at least his attitude before he became a candidate, can be seen from the following excerpt from a speech made in the senate on July 19, 1917: “I know a little something about farming. I have followed the cradle, senators, with the rake when wheat sold for 40 cents a bushel. That was in the day when farming was something of a contest for subsistence. In this latter day fanning has become an occupation for profit, and I happen to know that, under normal conditions, dollar wheat makes a very profitable occupation, perhaps riot to the farmer who farms the farmer, but it is to the farmer Who farms the farm.” (See Congressional Record, 1917, pages 5268 and 5269.) Governor Cox, on the contrary, is in favor of giving the farmers of the country representation on the Interstate commerce commission, tariff commission and the federal reserve bank boards, not only because he thinks the farmers deserve this, but that the national service would be benefited by such representation. .

The Island of Guadeloupe Is to have an electric railway 118 miles long, two waterfalls being harnessed to provide the power. „— There are 435 congressmen and only 32 . senators to be. elected in November. But the Republican na- ' tional committee has agreed to ad- ' vance $500,000 to the senatorial ■ committee and only $200,000 to the congressional committee. “The time has arrived when some prospects should be assessed for subscriptions ranging from $5,000 land upwards. In any case, it is ab- | solutely necessary, first of all, io ‘sell’ to this committee the quota | and the campaign plan.”—From the Official Bulletin, Treasurer’s office, ' Republican national committee.

IF YOUR CHILD GOES TO SCHOOL

in Jasper county you will share his enthusiasm for a 100 per cent Junior Red Cross membership for the present school year. Parents, as well as teachers, are interested in the 192021 plan for junior activities. Pamphlets presenting the aim, the plan and the program are already in the hands of many teachers, and it is hoped that the enrollment of all schools will be completed early in the term. School rooms enroll as units upon subscribing for the Junior Red Cross News, and the membership is primarily upon a service basis rather than a financial one. There no further financial obligation for the school except as the school may voluntarily assume on meeting its share of the service program. Some schools will choose to raise funds by the “save and sacrifice plan,” whereby pupils make voluntary contributions from individual savings or earnings, but any pupil, not financially able to contribute, may enjoy the same rights and privileges as the others, without embarrassment. Working with the bureau of education at Washington, D. C.. the Junior Red Cross is offering, as a part of the regular school course, a series of graded lessons in civic training; also a plan for interschool and foreign correspondence. Subscriptions may be entered and pamphlets obtained by sending to Chairman, Junior Red Cross, at Rensselaer. _ **
