place over back of town, "ain't for me

farms. It's all for the big, successful

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- .

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.

MAY VOTE CIGARETS
OUT OP EXISTENCE
A dispatch from Salem says that
an initiative petition to make unlaw
ful the sale, use or possession of ci
garets in Oregon after January 1,
1921 was filed with the secretary of
state by D. 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.

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-
