TO THE PEOPLE ..
v OF ARKANSAS
The Arkansas Committee
of the Near East Relief havei
made arrangements with their
National Headquarters which
will enable them to use all
contributions |jmade in this
state in the purchase of Ark
ansas Rice for Armenian suf
ferers. The movement there
fore partakes of the nature of
a double-header relief meas
ure, in that it will not only
provide food for the starving
orphans and refugees of these
stricken Bible lands, but it
will also aid our own rite
growers in disposing of last
year’s crop.
The Armenians were our
Allies during the World War
and although the Peace Com
mission recognized the 'Ar
menian Republic on paper,
they have never been given
any outside assistance which
would enable them to throw
off the Turkis.11 yoke. They
have therefore been compelled
to suffer even more bitter per
secution at the hands of the
Turks since the Armistice
than ever before. Nearly all
of their homes have been des
troyed, their land has been
devastated, thousands of
their men and women have
been martyred because they
would not deny Christ, and
countless multitudes of little
children have been driven out
into the desert to feed ' upon
roots and grass.
The Near East Relief is car
ing for 110,000 of these child
dren in their orphanages. It
is also< conducting 63 hos
pitals, 11 rescue homes for
Christian girls who have es
caped from Turkish harems,
and is administering tem
porary relief to more than
500,000 refugees annually..
Many of our own rice grow
ers have already contributed
quantities o$ rice direct. Thej
committee hopes to ship aj
trainload of rice from Arkan
sas in*April. Five Southern
states are engaged in the
niovement, and they expect to
send a shipload of 10,000 tons
°f rice from New Orleans to 1
Armenia within a few weeks, j
I therefore commend this’
appeal to the people of Ark
ansas, and beg of them to con
tribute as generously as pos
sible to this worthy, humani
tarian cause. I suggest that
the churches of the state set
aside next Sunday for taking I
special offerings for this work,
and that fraternal orders and
clubs take the matter up at!
their next meeting. 1,666 of
these Armenian orphans have
been allotted to Arkansas for
this year, at a cost of $5.00
each per month. The Near
East Relief is the only agency
standing between them and1
starvation.
Every bank in the state
has been made a depository
for these funds, so you can re
mit through your local banker,
or send contributions direct to

Treasurer, Near East Relief,

A LETTER
McCrory, Ark., R. F. D. No.2.
April, 6th. 1921.
Angus & Hayes,
McCrory, Arkansas.
Gentlemen:
Some time past, probably
five weeks, I bought my» first
sack of Purina Chow Chow,
influenced by the guarantee
of “More milk or money
back.” About the same
time Mr. Coggins loaned me
a two and one half year old
heifer with her first calf, giv
ing not more than two quarts
of milk per day. I started
feeding her Purina Chow
Chow according to directions
on the little tag I find in each
sack, and today she is giving
three gallons of milk, and
her feed is not costing as
much as when I feed hulls
and meal. I have my mules
on a test of Omaline and will
write you the results.
Yours for Checker-Board
Bags,
Adv. J. J. JOLLY
For Sale: Two horses for
cash or credit. H. ARNOF.

$3.25 FOR $3.00
We will sell you Purina feed
at $3.00 and guarantee same
to be' of equal feeding value
to oats that cost $3.25. Save
your quarters and your dollars
will take care of themselves. ,

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 in the United States.
Two and two make four. 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, it
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 wherever such discovery oc
curs, the Fordson Tractor will fill the bill more satisfactorily than any
other form of power.
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
vour farm will increase the value of every foot of ground in that farm.
It will put more dollars and 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.
