ALL HAD TO ATTEND CHURCH
Period in “Merrie England” When at ^
Least One Visit on Sunday
Was Obligatory.
' ^
If you had lived during the reign *
.of Queen Elizabeth and King £
James woe unto you if Sunday j \
meeting you would with malice j l
aforethought overlook—for failure | J
to go to church on Sundays was a 1 jj
statutory offense, says the Brooklyn f
Eagle. The penalty was a fine of jjj
one shilling for every Sunday over
looked, and 20 pounds for remain- ^
ing away from the services for a i t
whole month. The statute applied j j
to the members of the Church of i
England only, however. Those wrho J
refused to subscribe to the beliefs j
of the church were absolved, pro- I
vided they attended a church of ^
their own beliefs, and provided they £
took certain oaths and made certain t*
declarations. The law, nevertheless, j S
was very severe with respect to per- j J
sons belonging to other sects. For j
instance, the five-mile act of 1665 ^
made it unlawful for a minister of | (
a nonconformist church to come j ^
Within five miles of an incorporated |l
town. Failure to comply with this i j
measure would find the divine poor- ! f
er by 40 pounds. j \

FORDSON
The Fordson Tractor was made to meet the demands and
necessities of the every-day American farmer. It was made with the
thought that it was the necessity of the man of forty acres as well ast
the man with one thousand acres. It was made not only for plowing,
harrowing, discing, seeding, mowing, reaping, but for all other work
on the farm where power is necessary. It was made to bring con
veniences to the farmer’s home as well as for the cultivation of his
fields. It was made to furnish power for the cream separator, silo
filling, cutting feed, sawing wood, furnishing power tor milking,
wishing, supplying the house with running water, electric lights, and
the hundred and one things on the farm. It was made to be the big
profitable servant on the farm.
And it has not failed in any of the expectations had for it. It
has been tested as no other Tractor has been tested. It has been
proven reliable and can furnish proofs impossible to any other Tractor.
It has done these things not only in America but in Europe, Asia,
Africa, and in the Islands of the Seas. It has met successfully the
demands of farmers in every part of the civilized world.
Therefore, the Fordson Tractor can meet all the conditions cf .
your farm. When you buy a Fordson, you are not buying any ex
periment—you are buying a servant and a money-maker for you that
you can depend upon absolutely from the first day you put it to work. *
It is easy to undeistand. It possesses all the power you want. It) is
simple to control. It is more flexible than you imagine. It will help
you cultivate every foot of ground you have, and every day in the year
you will find use for it on the farm. Its appeal to the farmer is in its]
dependable service and the wide variety of work it can do.
We’d like every farmer that reads this, if he hasn't a Fordson
Tractor already, to come to us and let us sell him one. Let us demon
strate its powers, its values, on your farm. Let’s get into details—
powder, reliability, economy1. While the sale of a Tractor gives us a
small profit, the purchase of a Tractor to the farmer means a money
making servant every day for years. So the sale of a Fordson means
more to the purchaser than it does to us. We ire arguing for your
good, Mr. Farmer. Come in and talk it over. Your time against ours.
It is worth it.
And remember, when you buy a Fordson Tractor, we are right
here to keep that Tractor in reliable running condition every day.
You won’t have to wait if anything should get out of order. We are
right here to keep it right, because one of the conditions of the Fordson
Dealer is that he must keep on hand always a complete supply of
parts. This is a guarantee we don’t believe you can get with any
other farm. Tractor. Come in. Let’s talk it over.
