EIGHT PAGES THM MOf BOB JOURTAJU TUESDAY, XOVEMBF.R , 1M0. EIGHT PAGES HVSIUn AttlJTTER MRS. MAMilM LOOKLD AKTUt FARM Hm Raised Several Bale of Cotton, ml About MmN) Uunhelit of Cora Besides Doing Hiiuwork. By MRS. EDNA V. FUNDERBURK in the Iceland Journal. Talking about the woman's day. I wish to tell a little story, a true kto ry too, about one who lives ia Old Store township. Chesterfield county, which will abow what aome of 4 hem re capable of doing If the necessity rises. This woman of whom I am writing is about IS years of age. She is Mrs. Jane Mangutu, wife of Mr. Snuly Mangum. There are no chil dren. This old couple live on the plantation of Mr. Wnt. H. Funder burk. This year Mr. Mang'im's hand got so diseased that he couldn't use It, and so his wife took the making of the crop iuto her own hands. In the spring she cleared two acres of new ground, after getting a neighbor i;ian to cut the trees for her, plowed it up and planted it In corn. With these two acres and some more corn which he planted and worked herself, she gathered and already has shucked be tween 80 and 85 bushels. She also planted, worked and made cotton, having already picked one bale and is now gathering the second bale, uot knowing yet how much cotton there will be when It is all gathered, but sure of at least two bales. In addition to this she made some oats, enough home niado molasses to do them and a potato patch and gar den. Mr. Mangum had to go to the hospital in Charlotte for treatment during the busiest working season nd he hasn't been able to help her but very little to gather the crop. She used a very small amount of commercial fertiliser, having during the winter season raked leares and made a good amount of stable ma nure with their one mule and cow. I doubt whether there is another In the county, or perhaps the state, who under like circumstances has exceeded her record, and one or the beautiful things about it is that in her humble little home amid her daily toil she doesn't even dream that she is one of God heroes. (I say hero because I think the word heroine is too mild a form of ex pressing it in this case.) In a world where so many are try ing to get money without giving full value, me thinks that God himself looks at the noble record she is mak ing, and one day when the crowning angel shall place the victor's crown on her brow I can imagine the look rt surprise on her honest face as her white soul is given a place among the greatest of those that shall In herit the heavenly tils where she shall have time to enjoy the beauty of never fading flowers, and enter Into the rest that remaiucth for the people of God.

RHEUMATISM Torturing Pains ami Swollen Joints Vanish When Itheumn is Used or .Money Refunded. It there are any rheumatic, suf ferers who have not availed them selves of this geuerous offer they should do ao at once. It Rheuma, the guaranteed pre scription for rheumatism in any form, does not give quick and Joyful re lief the cost, small as it is, will be gladly returned without any quibbling or red tape. Rheumatism Is a dangerous dis ease, and anyone who has the slight est sign of it should drive It from the system as quickly as possible. This is what Uheuma did for many. It should do as much for you. "I have been laid up for one year with chronic arthritis," says one suf ferer. "I had doctors galore, also spent four months in sanitarium, but had practically no relief. Then I started taking Rheuma. Now I can go without crutches or other aid. which I could not do for the last nine months. I highly recommend it, and would gladly answer any questions asked on receipt of stamp for post age." Thomas H. Eddy, Schuyler Tille. N. Y. Rheuma is absolutely harmless and thoroughly rcl'nble because It Is one discovery that has forced rheumatism to yield and disappear. It Is recom mended and sold on the no-cure-no-pay plan by the English Drug Com pany, Monroe, N. C, and good drug gists ever) where. M. A.

Owen, three miles west of Fayetteville. was frustrated when the guard M. A. Smith, armed with ahotguu and re volver, stood his ground in the face of the fir of the three raiders until they took Right in the automobile which brought them to the gin. Smith has been stationed on gurd at the ginnery during the night since Owen received an anomymous red ink wanting to shut down his gin. He was concealed in the bushes near the gin where the car containing the men drove up and stopped. One of the men started to enter the gin. Smith called to him three times to halt and when the warning was un heeded opened fire. The fire was im mediately returned by the two men in the car ai-d about fifteen shots were exrhatiKed before Smith's shells were exhausted. He then drew bis pistol to continue the fight, but the revolver failed to work. At .this juncture, however, the raiders fled in their car.

Miss Alice Robertson, farmer, ca feteria owner and the only congreas-woman-elect in the United States, sat In her little restaurant at Musko gee, Okla., Friday night planning the menu for the next day's noonday meal. "I think I should celebrate niy own election tomorrow by preparing some extra fruit salad and fried chicken." she said as she wrote out the bill of fare on her typewriter. Then turned again to politics, and shook hands with many who came to congratulate her on her victory over Congressman W, W. Hastings, who has represented the second congtessional district since 1914. "Mlsa Alice," known over the state as the most picturesque character In Oklahoma, made the race for Cong ress despite the fact that she was op posed to and worked actively against the woman suffrage amendment.

GORDON INSURANCE & INVESTMENT CO. Farmers A Merchants Hank Building. Monroe, N. C. i i The Western Wheat Growers Association are de manding three dollars per bushel for their wheat. The Southern farmer is selling his cotton for twenty cents and less. If we must have cheap cotton let us have cheap wheat also. If every farmer in Union county will sow enough wheat for his own needs he will not only swat the Wheat Speculator but the Cot ton Speculator and Boll Weevil as well. Probably it has not been profitable for some of our farmers to raise wheat but we believe that where wheat is put on good, well prepared soil a few acres would be profitable to any farmer. In order to encourage the farmer of Union county to sow wheat, valuable prizes are being offered for the best three acre field of wheat OUR OFFER of $50 first prize and $25 second prize for the best 3-acre field of wheat all in one field is open to every farmer of the county with no restrictions as to kind of wheat, kind of soil nor when or how sown. We have secured some very fine seed wheat which we will distribute among the merchants of Monroe and urge you to take advantage of this opportunity to win one or more of the prizes offered and at the same time make for yourself and family bread for next year. Whether this is the period of re-adjustment or not, it is certainly the time for everyone to proceed with Caution. The general feeling of lower prices may be realized and again supply and demand may have to be reconed with. HENDERSON ROLLER MILLS CO AAA..VA.VH'M.Uk.-M.WuVA.AAA.-uV..U.l... ....... ' I TTT I ! T ! T - TTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTYYTVYVVVVVVVVVVVVVyVyVtft Frdso TRADE MARK ftS, , ? 1 , CT;; There is every reason In the world why every farmer should buy a Fnrdson Tractor, while there Is not a single reason in the world why a farmer should not buy a Frrdt-ou Tractor. In the clniins we make for the Fordson Ttactor as being the stipe: lor farm Tractor, there Is nothing of boasting. Our rlalms are based upon demonstrated farts. In every s-nsible test that has been made taud we don't believe in any jockeying or technical tests) but In the real common sense work on the farm the work the Tractor was intended to accomplish we say, in all such tests the Fordson has stood head and shoul ders above all competing Tractors. And this Is best proven In tho fact that while there are about three hun dred thousand farm Tractors in use In the United States today, and while Tractors have been sold to farm ers for twenty years, and while the Fordson Tractor has only been on the market two years, more than one third of all the Tractors in use In the United States are Fordson Tractors. Now you can't upset a fact. You can't hack away from an established truth, and there It is out of three hundred thousand Tractors, one hundred thousand are Fordson, and there are probably tome flriy dif ferent makes of Tractors on the market. Just lot your common sense consider these facts. "Fltfs are not plucked from thistle, nor plums from thorn trees." Tho Fordson Tractor has the necessary power. It Is economical In operation. It Is flexible in control and operation. It is simple in design, and It is sturdily built of the best iron and steel. It Is the product of the genius of Henry Ford, and it wasn't placed on the market until I enry Ford had tested It, and teste i i. and tested it, before ha asked the farmers to buy It. It Is tro Idle faith that in the Fordson Tractor Horry Ford has given to mankind one of the greatest benefits which has ever come to civilized man. Now we solicit every farmer to buy one or more Fordsons. Come In and see them. Come In and let us tell you more than we can In an advertisement. Let us demonstrate to you. Let us put it to every test that you ask. The Tractor Is Just as neceitsary for the farmer as water Is in the house. Come In! Look over the Fordson. Test It. Don't take any chances. Don't experiment. Supply your farm with the Tractor of estab lished value. Henderson Motor Company sen Is. Ford Cam Ford Trucks Fordson Tractors Ford Service.
