Put It to Any Power Task
While the Fordson Tractor has power in plenty to
drag plows and harrows through the heaviest soil, it
is light enough, small enough and so easily controlled
that it can handily be put to many tasks about the
farm, that wiii save you time, money and work.
f
In fact the Fordson will do every power job, both
draw-bar and belt, more quickly and at less cost than
it can be done with any other form of power. So
every month the whole year ’round the always depend
able Fordson will prove itself a paying investment,
because of its capabilities, its economy and efficiency.
.
We will gladly explain and demonstrate to you the
many Fordson money-making, time-saving features.

a plan for a memorial.
Members of the Kings County
New York American Legion Posts
will visit the grave of Col. Theo
dore Roosevelt, at Oyster Bay July
4, to deposit a memorial wreath
and conduct a brief service.
“The super-slacker of the United
States” as he terms himself, is be
sought by federal authorities aided
by members of fhe American Legion
throughout the northwest. He has
written to Governor Hart of Was -
ington, requesting that his name
be placed at the top of th slacker
list. He wrote that he was P. E.
Saylor of Genes -ee, Idaho, and al
though he successfully dodged the
draft by moving to another city and
assuming another name, he has en
joyed all the glories of a returned
A E. F. hero through the purchase
of a soldier’s discharge and several
war medals. “And you ought to
hear me tell the girls of all the
battles I was in,” he writes.
The Elks Lodge of Lafayette,
Ind., has withdrawn plans for a
Fourth of Jnlv relehration to avoid
conflict with a celebration of the
I American Legion,
j -
That George- Oarpentier, in his
coming bout with Dempsey, will hit
the latter so hard that he will see
tr-colored stars for the remainder
of his life, is the hope of the Amer
ican Legion of San Bernardino
County, CaUf., which recently, at
an interpost meeting, unanimously
adopted a resolution supporting the
French pugilist. Member, of the
American Legion Post of Palatka,
Fla., have sent Oarpentier a copy
of a resolution which they recently
adopted giving the latter the moral
support of the post.

stituted in the district court by the
Nebraska d'-tri<t of the Evangeli
cal Lutheran ynod to test the con
stitutionality of the Reed-Norval
language law passed by the last
Nebraska legislature. The conten
tion of the synod is that the law
which prohibits the teaching of any
foreign language in any school in
the state below the eighth grade,
restricts liberty. This contention
is refuted by the Legion.
An American Legion home to cost
$125,000 wilt be erected this sum

American Legion posts throughout
: the United States will read the last
public speech of Col. F. n. Gal
'braith a; their Fourth of July cel
ebrarions. The speech, a plea for
the Citizens' Military Training
Camp, was delivered bv the late
national commander a few hours
before he met death in an automo
i bile accident in Indianapolis. - ' i
come to you,’* declared Mr. Gal
j braith, ‘'as one of those thousands
of Americans who went into the
world war without the benefit of a
training camp. We believe in pre
j paring the young men of this coun
; try for citizenship. A part of this
| citizenship consists of being ready
to defend our country in the time of
1 need.” Copies of the speech are
being forwarded to the posts from
the national headquarters of the
Legion at Indianapolis.
A movement has been started by
a number of posts of the American
Legion to have the body of the
unknown American soldier, to be
brought back from France, buried
under the dome of the National Cap
itol instead of in Arlington National
cemetery. The George Washington
post has appointed a committee to
I formulate and have introduced in
Congress a resolution changing the
place or ouruu.
Five hundred and fifty-nix trees
were planted recently along the new
i victory memorial drive at Minneapo
lis, Minn., by American Legion posts
of that city. One of the trees is
j dedicated to the memory of F. W.
Galbraith, Jr., late commander of
the American Legion, whose acci
dental death prevented him from
attending the tree-planting cere
i monies. The o*"her trees are for
j the 555 gold star heroes of Henne
pin county.
An inheritance of $40,000 made
scarcely a ripple in the life of Joe
Bokau, member of the Xern post
'of the American Legion at Toledo.
Bokau is a policeman. When noti
i fied of his good fortune he was ask
ed if he intended quitting the police,
force.
“I can do a greater service as a
policeman than in any other way,
and, after all, what pleasure is
greater than that of doing some
thing worth while,” he said.
Members of the American Le
gion in Louisiana, Mississippi and
Florida have been notified that
their efforts to exclude a colony of
! Mennonites from those states have
been unsuccessful. The Mennonites
are going to Mexico. Members of
the Legion opposed the settlement
i of the Mennonites because they
I evaded military service on religious
j grounds.
The Chamber of Commerce at
Columbus, Ga., is endeavoring to
have restrictions against the use of
fire works on the Fourth of July re
moved so that there might be a
general pyrotechnic display in hon
| or of the delegates to the American
Legion state convention to be held
here July 4, 5 and 6.
The Hurley Lee Spicer post of
the American Legion at Harrison
ville, Mo., has installed an emer
gency call system by which mem
bers of the post can be called to
service in case of fire or police
emergency.
Why suffer from a bad back,
from sharp, shooting twinges, head
aches, dizziness and distressing uri
r.al ills? Mar.anna people recom
mend Doan’s Kidney Pills. Could
you ask for stronger proof of merit?
Mrs. L. Pursley, 307 Hill St.,
Marianna, says: “I have used
Doan’s Kidney Fills and found them
great. I was taken with terrible
>narp pains in :ny duck just across
my kidneys. When I stooped over.
I could hardly straighten up again.
My kidneys acted irregularly. I
also suffered from dizzy spells and
black specks seemed to float be
fore my eyes. A friend told me to
try Doan’s Kidney Pills, so I did.
They helped me and after I had
taken two boxes, I was as well and
strong as ever.”
Price 60c, at all dealers. Don’t
simply ask for a kidney remedy—
get Doan’s Kidney Pilis—the same
Mr. Pursley had. Foster-Milburn

Granny's Talk to Young Mothers
“Granny” Cksmberiak ‘'Few' young mothers realize the extent to
which a cold lowers the system and makes it susceptible to con
tagious diseases. It has been proven that the majority of diseases
arise from germs, but it is not widely known that a healthy sys
tem will repel their attacks, - >
Mothers should never allow a cold to run for twenty-four
I hours without attention. If this is made a rule there will be less
sickness for young mothers to worry over. A good reliable med
icine for coughs, colds, croup and bronchitis should always be
kept in the home where there are children. You may say that
you have no confidence in cough medicines, but that is because
you have never tried
Chamberkim’s Cough Remedy
This medicine is thoroughly reliable and has 9tood the test of
nearly half a century. No, it will not hurt the children—there is
I nothing in it that would even injure the baby.’’ ^ w
CERTIFICATES FOR CHILDREN' '
Little Rock, June 28.—“Employ
ers are urged to comply with the
law governing employment of child
ren in this stats,” says Commission
er of Labor T. A. Wilson. “Not
only because the law should be obey
ed, but further for tl\eir own pro
tection and ths protection of the !
child. The federal taxing law on
child labor and the state law are
identical in regulatory provisions—
the state statute a penal measure
and the federal law a taxing meas
ure. The federal law places a tax
on the earnings o* all manufacturing
plants and workshops where children
are employed in violation of the
provisions of the law. The Bureau
of Labor, State Capitol, Little Rock,
will give deta.led information to
employers relative to the child la
bor, and in fact, any law relative
to labor, upon request; and will
furnish employment certificates for
children upon request, provided the
child is over 14 years of age. It l
is unlawful for any child under 14
to be employed at any time.”
