LOVE KNOWS NO AGE LIMIT
Therefore This Family Has Reasoned
That Youthful Charles Must Be
Victim of Cupid.
One fortunate family is the
proud possessor of a chicken yard
fi lied with nice, fat chickens, and
one Sunday not long ago was enjoy
ing the fruits of labor in the shape
of chicken and dumplings.
Alva May, who has just entered
school, was the fortunate one in
drawing the “wishbone,” and she I
and eleven-year-old Charles “pulled”
it. He got the shorter piece.
In the heated discussion as to
which would be married first, five
year-old Louise piped up with, “I
don’t intend to marry anyone ever,”
to which Charles replied: “That’s
all right, Louise, that’s what I
thought when I was your age, too.”
And in the general laughter that
followed it wras decided that Charles
must be in love, and that age has
nothing to do writh changing one;s
mind on that subject.—Indianapo

ADOPT GREGORIAN CALENDAR.
Soviet Russia has officially adopt
ed the Gregorian calendar for civil
purposes and the same step has been
taken by most of the Baltic states
made up of territory of the former
Russian empire. The Gregorian or
(new style” calendar also is coming
into more general use in Asia due to
the commercial penetration of
Western countries. As a result of
the great war, directly or indirect
ly, the world is now closer than at
any time in its history to having a
single, astronomically correct sys
tem of measuring time. —National

“No.” answered Farmer Corntos

FARMING WITH THE FORDSON
The Fordson Tractor is taking care of every job; it is taking the
drudgery out of farm work and solving the labor problem. Power
farming with the Fordson reduces the cost of preparing land to almost
one half what it would be with horses, and saves a third to a half of
the farmer's time. What machinery does for the factory, the Ford
son Tractor is accomplishing on the farm—it is increasing production
at lower costs and making farm life attractive.
Apply this power farming
idea in your threshing. More
and more farmers are making
themselves independent of un
favorable conditions by using
the Fordson tractor linked up
with a light thresher. By
seizing the right moment and
being able to do the job with
out waiting and in quick time,
crop lossess are avoided and
profits increased.
The Fordson operates with
kerosene. When used on belt
work, running at full power at
1,000 R. P. M., the fuel con
sumption does not exceed 2%,
gallons per hour. It will run
the electric light plant, operte
the milking machines and
straw baler—will take care of
every care of every kind of
belt work.
The Fordson plows 6 to 8
acres in a 10-hour day, hand
ling two plows with ease in
the average soil. It requires
an average of only IY2 to 2
gallons of kerosene to the
acre.
It is the ideal year-round
tractor. It will pay for its
fall and winter keep in many
ways such as road work, haul
ing grain to the elevator
pumping water and moving
granaries.
