Thus lovely seemed the infants dawn,
Thus swiftly fled her life away. =
You are resting in peace, dear daughter,
One sad week has passed away.
You are gone. but not forgotten.
AS think Of you each day.
There is grief that cannot find comfort.
And sorrow that cannot be healed.
And sorrow deep in the human breast
That cannot be revealed.
On the hillside softly sleeping.
Far away from care and pain.
May she rest in Jesus keeping.
For we hope to meet again.

On February 18th at 8 A. M. Fordson
Tractor number 100000 left the assem-

half years after number one was completed.
Aud here again has Henry Ford set new
high record in the manufacture OF farm
tractors via the quantity production route.
Although the Ford interests are very
recent entrants in the ranks Of the tractor
manufacturers. yet Henry Ford really built
a tractor Of the steam type before he
started work on his first Gas car. And in

are still in very good running condition.

Fordson tractors are now being assem-

Big Double Circus Coming This
Way.
RINGLING BROTHERS AND BARNUM & BAILEY
COMBINED ANNOUNCE EXHIBITIONS
AT EARLY DATE.

This locality has entertained many cir
cuses, but never anything to compare with
the gigantic double shows billed as Ring
ling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey Com
bined which will exhibit afternoon and
night at Washington, Monday and Tues
day. May 18th and 18th. 1920.
The merging of these mammoth insti-
buttons in one circus Of colossal size, con-
stitutes the amusement surprise Of the
century. Nothing to approach this giean-
tic, new circus has ever before toured
America. II has been formed by merging
the pick and the cream of all that was
biggest and best in the two famous shows.
1t would be folly to attempt to enumerate
its many wonders. Some idea of the en-
ormous scale upon which features are pre-
sented may be had when it Is stated that
a quarter Of million pounds of elephants
take part in single act. In other words
six times as many Of the bie-eared giants
than have ever before been seen in one
main-tent exhibition. All else to be seen
is in proportion. The arenic stars en-
brace all the worlds foremost circus per-
formers. There are three hours Of novel
ties and big sensational acts. The mena-
eerie is far and away the most colossal
ever travelled. For instance-a herd OF
eight CRATES are exhibited in place Of the
two or three shown in the past. The great
tournament. which opens the main-tent
program. is the most magnificent thing in
pageantry yet produced in America. Hun
dreds upon hundreds Of eorseously cos
TUNED characters and beautiful horses take
part in it. The morning street parade is
the longest and most brilliant ever given
anywhere and offers something entirely
new and novel in professional display 1t
is stupendous. do uble-circus that battles

The circus will be in Baltimore Wednes-
