' me COTOITRY is just as much for the small farmer as it is for the big man it's for every man who is doing the best he can with what he has. It believes in the small farmer; it looks upon him as the man who did most to keep the fighting world from starving. , "And it is trying in every possible way to help the small farmer to make a success to do the best he can with what he has." Just to empha size this very point, THE Country gentle- . MAN is planning a new series of articles, to begin some time this fall, about small farmers in all parts of the country who are fighting the battle and ' doing the best they can with what they have. It will be a bully aeries, written by some of THE Country Gentle man's best men, and no farmer, however small his place, can afford to miss it.

A little more "High Finance" of the School Book Trust now appears in regard to the Spelling Book. It is now necessary to punchase three Spellers at 36 cents each or $1.08 for the eight grades, while the old book "Hick's Champion Speller," one of the best ever published, cost only 23 cents and served all eight grades.

E. Frost, of Portland. The bill makes it the duty of the mayor of any city or town as well as of the regular police officers to make inquiry of any person caught using cigarets as to where and un der what circumstances he procured them, and upon failure of the person to give the information to report to the district attorney. For first violation of the proposed law a fine of not more than $100 is ' Deputies in the county clerk's of fice were given a mild shock Tuesday when a complaint was presented for filing, for in the space left for the name of the defendant appeared the words, "Woodrow Wilson." The Bhock was lessened when they re gained sufficient composure to read the remainder of the document, for it developed, that Woodrow was but . six years old and was an alleged de pendent child. The complaint which was sworn to by Dora Read Barber, recites that notwithstanding he was started out in life with a great name this particular Woodrow Wilson has been decidedly out of luck and has had none of the good things that have fallen to the lot of his namesake. As the complaint alleges, he is destitute and homeless and is dependent upon the public for support not having proper parental care or guardianship, his mother now being an inmate of the state feeble minded institute. The complaint further states that the mother is Mrs. Alice Robbins and the father is unknown and his present whereabouts also are unknown. A hearing will be had in the juvenile court and the luckless youngster who has nothing but a name will probably be committed to the Boys and Girls Aid Society. Hillsboro Independent.

FORDSON TRACTOR CO., Dearborn, Mich. . '-) . The above telegram was received recently by the Otto Erickson Co Itis self explanatory. 21,000 behind on bonafide orders! Think of it! Already one carload of our tractors, ordered in anticipation of our needs, has been transferred to McMinnville. The Tractor That Gives SERVICE Read This Letter Albany, Ore., April 17, 1919 W. W. Crawford, . Albany,' Ore. ' .. Dear Sir; In reply to your inquiry as to the service we have received from the FORDSON Tractor purchased from you last November, wish to state that it is with great pleasure we cheerfully recom mend this Tractor to our friends and neighbors, basing our opinion upon actual performance in the field. Our FORDSON Tractor has been in constant use since the date of purchase, plowing and harrowing land under all conditions, hard, dry and sandy soil and in the rain, whore there was so much water in the field at times it would run in the furrow. . ,Wo wish to call your attention to one particular run of eight days, of twenty-four hours a day, plowing. About half of this land was stiff, stubborn soil, had been pastured and tramped down, making it very hard to plow. The FORDSON had plenty reserve power at all times and under all conditions at normal motor speed. During the entire eight days run we kept an account of fuel and oil consumed and our total expense did not exceed fifty cents an acre, in fact our general expense is from forty to fifty cents and never exceeded fifty cents an acre. The eight days continuous run was made without a single me chanical repair or adjustment; only stops made were for oil, gas, water and change of drivers. For our. night run our light was fur nished direct from the FORDSON magneto. In cultivating forty acres of orchard we found it more conven ient than with horses for plowing round trees, head-lands and cor ners. 'We found the FORDSON to be durable, reliable and economic1- .
