PREHISTORIC BIRD.
Today the birds are all quite dif
ferent than they were thousands of
years ago. Many, many years ago
the first bird that was ever seen on
earth was called the Archaeopteryx,
which is a Greek word meaning “an
cient wing.”
It was a very odd bird. It had
a long, thick tail with bows of flesh
and with feathers growing from it.
It was not like a bird's tail is now,
hut more like a lizard's tail. It
had two legs with which it could
walk and perch in- the trees.
It also had two other limbs like
hands, which it probably used to
climb about the trees instead of fly
ing about from bough to bough as
birds do now.
Its eye was fitted with a sort of
armor shield, as the reptile's. Its
beak was armed with strong teeth.
CROWDED TRAFFIC.
“A girl used to take her skirt in
her hands and walk airily across
the street.”
“Xo more of that airy stuff."
“Eh?”
“She used to take her skirts in
her hands. Now she takes her life.”

Calls Answered Day or
Night. McCrory, Ark.
More than 100,000 Fordson tractors have been sold to farmers
in the United States. They are helping those farmers do more and
better work in less time and at less co£t. North, East, South, West—
every-where the Fordson has proven itself a money-maker and a
real necessity to the farmer. Besides it is helping mightily to solve
the labor problem.
These one hundred thousand and more practical farmers have
affirmed the economy—the exceptionally low fuel and operating cost
of the Fordson; its time and labor-saving qualities and its ability t)o in
crease production. The Fordson was built to be the most economical
tractor; it is compact and devoid of excessive weight. Ahd it is*
built of the same strong iron and steel as is the Ford car.
Winter or bad weather does not hinder the Fordson’s useful
ness. Day or night—twenty-four hours a day if you choose—you can
utilize the Fordson.
Only so many Fordsons are allotted this territory. Orders are
being filled in sequence—first come first served. Let us have yours
now.
There’s a practical use for the Fordson every day of the year.
Let’s tell you. Come in and have a tractor talk. Give us the chance
to make a demonstration on your own farm.
