Who Feeds the World ?
Wheat is not undisputed king,
nor cotton either. The egg crop
last year was worth about
$100,000,000.
The bulk of the poultry is pro
duced mainly by the Work of the
women and children. T^he sup
ply from specialized poultry
farms is small compared to that
from the farms where women
care for the poultry and chil
dren gather the eggs.
The hand that rocks the cra
dle is the hand that does its full
share in feeding the world.

Money.
What is regarded as one of the
best definitions of money was
given by Henry E. Beggs of
Sheffield, England, who was
awarded a prize offered by a
British weekly for the following
philosophical wisdom :
“An article- which may be
used as a universal passport to
everywhere except heaven and a
universal provider of everything
except happiness.”
Ink and Land.
Uncle Sam is one of the most
enterprising real estate agents
we have. He has been adver
tising farming lands in far off
Alaska, where the farmer can
hitch his mule at noonday to the
North pole, and already 11,000,
000 acres of land have been en
tered or taken up. Why people
will leave the South, where
lands are cheap and fertile, and
brave the barren blasts of Alas
ka, where there is fully six
months of ice and snow, is a
mystery unsoived.
Retort Courteous.
He stopped his car at a farm
house and yelled to a farmer who
lay on a bale of cotton in front,
of his house, “Hey, Corn Stalk, is
this the way to Cotton Plant ?”
The farmer raised * himself
from the cotton in astonishment,
“By Heck, stranger, how did
you know my name was Corn
stalk ?”
“I guessed it,” said the motor
ist.
“Then, by Heck,” said the
farmer as he drove off, guess
your way to Cotton Plant.

a start in the right direction, anyway.

A Pleasing Perfume.
Spirits of lavender poured over
lumps of bicarbonate of soda makes
a pleasing perfume, which is also an
excellent disinfectant.

THE UNIVERSAL CAR
LET THERE BE NO DISCORDS
If your Ford car is out of tune, there is un
doubtedly a good reason for it. And the best
way to find that reason and have it remedied,
is to drive to our authorized Service station
where one of our mechanics who knows the
Ford way to adjust and repair Ford cans, can
tune it up in a shop that is properly equipped
to give Ford service. Then, too, we use only
Genuine Ford-made parts. They wear from
thirty-five to one hundred per cent longer
than the counterfeit parts.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford service
organization; we have more than a passing
interest in your car. Prompt service is given
on all work. Drive in and see for yourself,
there’s too much money invested in your Ford
car to miss connections with the authorized
Ford dealers.
