GRANITE FALLS The program given by the Sunday school teachers of the Methodist church here t the Sunday evening service was one of the most enjoy able occasions church-going people have had the privilege of attending in many a day. The pastor is in the habit of springing surprises on his congregations, and this one surprised even himself. The demonstration of a class in the Sunday schools of more than fifty years ago spelling the hard words in Webster's old "Blue Back" was very interesting to the younger generation. All the talks and" papers were good, and one by Mrs. J A. Houck on the Sunday schools of fifty and sixt years ago was a perfect gem and will be published later. Our school election comes off on the 18th of April, it is understood, and the Community Club, in order to get the women lined up to put the th.ng through, expects every woman in the district to meet with them Fri day. March 25. "If a woman will, she will," you know, and she will, this time. Xot even the lack of building ma terial at a reasonable price can keep Granite from growing. Several new j residences are going up and two new 1 stores are already completed, besides the Granite Lumber Company's large new plant going up on the site of the old Dudlev Lumber Company. This last industry is the mot needed of 1 anything in this part of the county, and will be a big asset to our pros-; penty. Now watch us grow but we ! will grow, watched or not. j Mrs. H. B.

So far as we know all have been very satis factory. Miss Lucy Sullivan, who left some time ago for Roxboro to do farm demonstration work, writes that she likes her work fine there. Mr. Finley Hawkins, who is trav eling salesman for a Xew York firm, recently spent a few days with home folks here. We should advise the Rufus corre spondent if he doesn't want so much gravy to kill his hogs when there hap tens to be the most lean, or in other words to kill 'em before they get fat. Mrs. C. H.

For thirty-five years Henry Ford, a farmer's boy, has been wording on the problem of a successful tractor for the farm, and for the past fourteen years has devoted much time and a vost amount of money to the development of the preesnt Fordson Tractor. Today that Tractor is in use on nearly 200,000 farms, and if you have any doubt as to the satisfaction it gives to those who are using it, call in and get the booklet, just issued by the Ford Motor Company, and called "The Fordson at Work," and read the testimony which is there given by the multitude of owners of Fordson Tractors. No evidence can be more conclusive than that of the man who actually knows by personal experience, and this is the line of testimony carried in this little booklet. There i3 no cost for this booklet. If you cannot call for it, write, drop us a postal, and we will mail it to you without charge. It is so valuable you ought to have it because it is the open door through which the farmer will pass from the hard-working drudge to the comparative comfort of the manufacturer. The Fordson makes it possible for the farmer to plan and direct, while the machine will do the work. It presents the widest latitude for the farmer to exercise his brain power and plan how he can get the most from the soil, knowing that the Tractor will do the hard work, do it better, do it quicker, and therefore do it mdre profitably. This means not alone in the cultivation of the soil, in the harvesting of the crops, but in a hundred and one different demands that are made for labor, cutting of ensilage and the filling of the silo ; cutting of wood; operation of the washing machine; in the lighting of the house with electricity; supplying the house with running water; bringing to the farmer's wife and daughters the conveniences of the city, relieving them of much of the hard, unpleasant part of housework.
