The bureau of extension of the
University of North Carolina is
working out a series of studies in
citizenship for woman in antici
pation of the enfranchisement of
women." Local, State and na
tional government will bo em
braced in the sories of studies
• Good enough as far as it goes, bu 1
what about men—tho lords of
creation? Are men born full
.fledged with all the necessary
qualifications for managing gov
ernmental affairs ? It is suspect
ed that woman's intuition in a
largo way surpasses man's boasted
mental surperiority. Why not a
course for men to fit them for the
exercise of citizenship t
King Albert, and the Queen of
Belgium will be formally received
by the Senate and House in Wash
ington on 28th inst. The honors of
the occasion will he done by A ice-
Prosident Marshall on accout of tho
illness of President Wilson. His
MsJeHty and Consort will embark for
home tho last of next week, after
spending thrco days in tho capital.
The peaco treaty reservations pro
posed by tho opponents of tho treaty
as it came to the Senate havo all
been defeatod, failing to rcceivo tho
necessary two-thirds vote. A com
promise will probably bo resorted to
by the advocates and opponents of
the reservations, as tho two-thirds is
lacking to adopt the treaty aa orig
inally drafted.
The steel workers' strike has not
been settled }et. An agreement, it
seems, cannot bo reached on tho
terms proposed. Some startling de
velopments havo como to light in
regard to ultra-radical activities af
fecting a nation-wido strike of steel
workers.
The Western N. C. M. E. Con
ference in session in ,Greensboro
went on record Tuesday as favoring
the League of Nations hy a unani
mous rising vote, also adopting u
resolution to pray for tho speedy re
covery of the President.
Charlotte had a recall election
Tuesday to oust the present Mayor
and Board of Aldermen. A large
vote, totaling 5,27'-i, was cast, and
the recall lost by a majority of 1,43.').
If tho trouble with the coal opera
tors and mintrs cannot he adjusted,
it is probable that the government
will tako hold of the mines to pie-
Tent a coal famine.
President Wilson is sufficiently
improved to give some attention to
affairs of State.
Piano Gilt to Church.
The need of a piano for llocutl
Memorial Baptist church in Burling
ton had beeu spoken of uniting the
membership. On lust Sunday the
wish of the church was gratified hy
the tender of a piano as a gift, if ac
ceptable, by Mr. and Mrs- Walter
If. Williams. Tho former is a son
of Mr. Jos. I'. Williams of Graham
and Mrs. Williams is u daughter of

That was a timely and hauflsome
gift.

turmuM two vxam
Judging from her letter, the mis
ery and wretchedness endured by
Mrs. Charlie Taylor, R. F. D. No. 1.
Box 144, Dillon, S. C., must have
been terrible. No one, after read
i inir her letter, can continue to
doubt the great healing power
, of PE-RU-NA for troubles duo
to catarrh or catarrhal conditions
in any part of the body. Her
. letter is an inspiration to every
sick and suffering man or woman
anywhere. Here it Is: "I suffered
f two ycaVs with catarrh of the head.
I stomach and bowel*. Tried two or
the best doctor*, who irave mo up.
I then took PE-RU-NA and can
truthfully say lam well. When I
began to use TE-RU-NA, I weighed
, one hundred pounds. My weight
now Is ono hundred and fifty. I
cannot praise fE-RU-NA too
, highly, for it was a Godsend to me.
I got relief from tho first half
bottle and twelve bottles cured me.
I advise all sufferers to take
PE-RU-NA"
As an emergency remedy in the
I homo, there Is nothing quite tho
equal of this reliable, time-tried
,1 medicine, PE-RU-NA. Thousands
place their sole dependence on it
for conghs, colds, stomach and
bowel trouble, constipation, rheu
matism, pains in the back, side and
loins and to prevent the grip and
Spanish Flu. To keep tne olood
, pure end maintain bodily strength
and robustness, take PE-RU-NA.
0 You can buy PE-RU-NA any
where in either tablet or liquid
form.
TRACTOR DEMONSTRATION.
A Farmer Writes Hi* Thoughts About
Demonstration Given by Kirk
Holt Hardware Co.
For The Gleaner.
Moutlay, Oct; 6, 1919, WJIS a red
loiter >lay fur the furinors of Ali
in;m;e comity, ami deserves uiore
th?vy i»!ic!-iuK notice.
Oil this date Kirk Holt Hard
ware Co. liad advertised to give a
! tractor demonstration in the field
of Mr. Lay ton Walker, north of
Graham depot. All of us know
full well how much rain we had
in early summer and how dry and
hard the ground was on Oct. 0.
Before lining to the place of
demonstration I called Kirk Holt
up and asked him if he was going
to at tempt to pull his stunt off.
lie replied that he realized fully
the very unfavorable condition of
the ground, but it was advertised
and he was going to do his best.
I got busy and tried to gfet as
many of my farmer friends out as
possible. Candor compels me to
confess that 1 had my doubts as
to the wisdom of the undertaking.
I have spent most of my days be
tween the plow handles. There
is no man in the county that takes
a greater interest in the farmer's
welfare than myself. I am always
in full sympathy with and lend a
helping hand to any inovoment
that tends to lessen the farmer's
burdens or to elevate his mental,
nToral, or social conditions. The
fanner has been the most neglect
ed man of all the professions. Hut
I am glad to see that he is de
manding better things, and still
have a hope that some (lay he may
come into his own.
I decided if Kirk Holt could
risk jiving the demonstration it
was my duty to go. I picked up
the editor of The Gleaner on my
way out, who, by the way, is one
of our most enthusiastic.farmers.
This editor told me that he had
already purchased a Fordson trac
tor and was just simply teariug
the face of the earth all to pieces.
When we arrived on the field we
found Tour tractors tearing the
earth up a-going and a-coming.
The ground was so hard that I ex
pected to see the plows jump out
of the ground and leave places in
the Held unbroken. I watched
very closely for this, for if a man
can find skipped places in a field
where I run a plow, dynamite is
needed. The Fordson not only
ploughed, it went right along at a
rapid gait. This is a very great
advantage I "noticed over other
tractors. The tractors pulled both
disc plows and flat bottom plows.
The little giants handled all kinds
of machinery for pulverizing the
s >il to the entire satisfaction of
every one present. In fact, for
handling all kinds of farm ma
chinery, they seem to be the very
thing.
The entire world is undergoing
a change. Old methods are pass
ing away. A new order of things
is taking place. The farmer has
to change to keep pace with civil
ization.
I have always made it a rule
never to eat at public eatiug places
out in the open where the wind
blows dust, Ac., over the eat
ables, so when I loft home I told
my wife I would be home for din
ner. Kirk Holt invited the crowd
to lunch before I was ready to
leave, so I went along mtich to my
delight. Who does not enjoy
mingling around the social board
with his friends, any way ? The
lunch was superabundant, nicely
prepared, and served in a most
sanitary manner. Lik>- my editor
friend, I was glad 1 remained. Oil
one occasion, when a lady passed
with a large waiter piled up with
haul sandwiches, ye editor had a
bottle of Coca-Cola and a ham
sandwich in his left haud and a
glass of lemonade and a cheese
sandwich iu his right, he asked
the lady to excuse him until she
came tigaiu.
The demonstration was a grand
success. The crowd was going
and coming all day—hard to esti
niate the number, but Kirk Holt
accomplished his purposo. He got
a first-class advertisement.
Kveryone agreed that this was
the nicest thing of its kind ever
attended.
The farmers showed their ap
preciation, for it was the best be
haved crowd 1 ever saw. I never
heard an oath or saw any indica
tions of any whiskey on the oc.
casion.
The progatn was happily con
ceived and grandly carried out—
not a hitch or a bobble.
Allow ine to congratulate) you.
Kirk, on your success. My best
wishes for tho*e present. My sin
cere sympathy for thoso that re
mained away.
