It was made with the thought that it was thtt necessity of the man of forty acres as well as thliian with onei thousand acres. It was made not only for plowing, harrowing, discing, drilling, seeding, n.owing, reaping, but for all other work on the farm whdre power is necessary. It was made to bring conveniences to the farmer's home as well as for the cultivation of his fltjdsi It was made furnish power for the cnym separator, silo filling, cutting feed, sawing wood, furnishing power for milking, washing, supplying the house witfi running water electric lights, and the hundred and one things on the farm.

It was made to do all this economically an in a reliable way. It was made to be the big profitable servant on the farm. And It has not faileU in any of the expectations had for it. It has been tested as no other Tractor has been tested. It has bpen p.oven reliable and can furnish proofs, Impossible: to any other Tractor.

It has done these things l.ot only In America but in Europe, Asia, Africa, and in the Islands of the, Seas. It has met successfully the demands of farmers in verv part of the civilized world. Therefore, the Fordson Tractor can meet all the conditions of your farm When you buy a Fordson, you are not buying any experims l.t you are buying a servant and a money-maker for you that you can depend ucon absolutely from the first day you put Cole's Original Hot Clatt No. 116 Ellotice letiee Monday of next week. The business men of Osceola can be depended on to meet Mr.

Hutchln-t on half way In his efforts to build up the business of iis company in this section and the proposed motor car service. conservatively estimated, will add fully one-third to this city's present trade territory.

O. Box No. 516, Blytheville Arkansas. Tax payers please bring or send 1919 levee tax receipts with remittances. Russell Phillips, Levee Tax Coll ecto So much misunderstood informa-J tion has recently been circulated in regard to tjhe federal reserve sy3-; tern's attitude towards cotton as a basis for credits that a few points at ileast seem to need clearing up.

Is not that the federal reservq system itself has been vacillating or hesitant in its policy. Confusing con-; structions havq been placed upon fed eral reserve system announcements because the plan of operation and I purposes of the system, as laid down by law, were not understood by those sseking accommodations or by per-' on undertaking without sufficient knowledge of he facts to advise others now to hold cotton. A common misconception is that tiie cotton grower can obtain fund? dirtfct from a federal reserve bank. A federal reserve bank is privileged to deal only with member banks. For some time pasr federal reserve tanks have been loaning at the rate of $100 a bale on cotton, and this value as a asis for credits "fcas'nbt yet bet'n changed, although recent declines In value may bring about some such action.

Where the loan Is made on cotton representing a commercial transaction the maturity is 90 days, but where the paper may 1 treated as agricultural, having iKiea Tf.red lr a member bank for. it to work It is asy to understand. It possesses alj the iwer you want, it is simple in control. It is more flexible than you Imagine. It -will help you cultivate every foot of ground you have I and every day in the year you will find use for it on the farm.

Its appeal to the farmer is in Its dependable servicf and the wide variety of work it can do. Wefd like every fartner that reads this, if he hasn't a Fordson Tractor already to come to us and let us sell him one. Let us demonstrate its cowers, its valueT. on your own farm. get lnt6 details power, reliability, etonomy While the sale of a Tractor gives us a small profit, the purchase of a Tractor toHhe farmer means a money-making servant every dajr for years.

So' the sale of a Fordson means more to the purchaser than it does to us. We are arguing for our good, Mr. Farmer. Come in and talk it over. Your tiae against ours.

It Is wor'Xi And remember, when you buy a Fordson Tractor, are right here to keap that Tractor in reliable running condition every day. You won't have to wait if anything should gH out of order! We are right here to keep it right, because one of UkI eondiHons 6f the Fordson Dealer Is trat he must keep on hand always a complete puonly of rarts. This Is a guarantee we don't believe you can get with any other farm Tractor. Come in. Let's talk it 'over.
