AMERICAN RICE FIELDS.
The American rice crop is grow
ing rapidly under the care of the
'Agricultural department. Out of
2,000 different kinds experimented
with, two varieties, Acadia and Fdr
tuna, have been found the best for
use in this country. The depart
ment proposes to make the new
varieties available to all growers
through the markets, thereby bene
fiting the industry as a whole
ISLANDS WELCOME SHIPS.
In Hawaii, the Philippines and
Cuba one of the chief topics of in
terest to the islanders is the arrival
and departure of steamers. News
papers devote whole pages to these
Wt movements, to lists of the pas
sengers, interviews with notables on
board and stories of the voyage by
members of the officers’ staffs and
crews. In fact the arrival of the
night train in a mainland country
town holds no more interest for the
residents than maritime news has
or the people of Honolulu, Manila
^d Havana.

PILGRIMS NOT ARISTOCRATS.
Descent from Pilgrim ancestry
doee not imply a wealth of blue
blood, even though many of Ameri
ca’s first families base their claims
for social prestige upon that de
scent, according to Rev. Dr. Samuel
A. Elliot of Boston, one of the in
ternational spokesmen for the Pil
grim’s tercentenary celebration.
Doctor Elliot addressed a Forefa
thers’ day celebration in the Flat
bush Congregational church. New
York.
According to Doctor Elliot the
Mayflower Pilgrims were “very or
dinary village people,” endowed
with a tremendous moral courage,
and ‘ only one of them, Elder Brew- '
ster, was a man of any education.”
Doctor Elliot, who formerly was
pastor of a Brooklyn church, is
president of the American Uni
tarian association.
Mrs. L. A. Jelks left yester
day, Thursday, for Harris
burg, where she will be the
guest 'of her daughter, Mrs. S.
T. Mayo.

FORDSON
There are many Tractors clamoring for the patronage of the
farmer. The very air is charged with the noise of claims. One
would think that* all the farmer had to do was to buy a Tractor and he
would enter into the Millennium.
Well, consider this fact—there are a great many different
makes of Tractors. Tractors have been in the American market for
twenty years. In that some three hundred thousand Tractors have
been sold to the farmers pi the United States.
Two and two make fdur. Two and two always will make four.
If the Fordson Tractor had not delivered more good work, more satis
factory work, more economical work, than any other farm Tractor, j&
would not have sold in the ratio of anywhere from five and more to
one. “The proof of the pudding is in the eating.” The proof of the
superior merits of the Fordson Tractor is in its larger sale and use.
The Fordson Tractor then asks you to buy it because of what
• it has done for your neighbors. It asks you to buy it on its merits. It
asks you to buy it, Mr. Farmer, because you have use for it every day
in the year. All the uses for the Fordson Tractor have not yet been un
covered because new places where machine power can take the place
of human 'power, where machine power can supplant horse and mule
power, are being found every week, and wjierever such discovery oc
curs, the Fordson Tractor will fill the bill more satisfactorily than any
other form of power. I
The Fordson is simple in design, and it is very strongly made
of the highest quality of iron and steel. It is the product of the great
est mechanical genuis the world has ever known, and it is most ec
onomical in first cost and after expense. The Fordson Tractor on
your farm will increase the value of every foot of ground in that^farm.
It will put more dollars &nd cents into every hour you put into the'
farm.
Now why not have a Fordson right away? Take up the sub
ject with us. Come in and get the details, and all the particulars.
It is only a matter of time until you buy a farm Tractor—that is sure.
So don’t put it off when it means money to you to act promptly.
