TRACTOR FARMING AS \ MEA rs
Toward Reducing C0StS-Strlctly Il
Business Proposition.

Every one nowadays is interested
in the results of tractor farming"
says Arthur Brown. of the firm of w.
NJ. Brown & Son, local Samson trac-
tor dealers.
"It is strictly business PROPOSE
tion for the farmer. AS an economic
betterment for the city man, it fur
nishes superior food products at less
cost.
''The farmer Of to-day is fast be-
coming high grade business man.
His office and his home are combined
and overlook his factory Of produc-
tton-namely, his growing crops. He
uses the latest laborsaving devices;
he runs them skilfully and we'll. He
is trying his level best to keep up
with the increased demand for the
products Of the farm.
THE labor situation is worrying
him more than anything else Just
now. II he could get the help to run
his implements he could produce
make more for himself.
''This Is where the farm tractor
comes in. It furnishes the means to
operate the farm in face OF the pres
ent labor shortage far more efficient
ly and at lower cost.
with a tractor, a farm-owner can
add seven to thirty-nine acres under
cultivation to his farm, and by dis
posing Of at least two horses, another
ten acres Is added to the crop value.
Seventeen to fifty acres Of wheat or
corn will help out immensely. The
city man Is going to need the food
next winter, too.
"The cost Of operating tractor Is
by far less than the forage Of three
to six horses that it will replace. The
labor cost per acre when using a
tractor Is also much less.
"a tractor on the average Ameri-
can farm is the greatest cost reduc-'
ing element in crop raising yet in
vented.
"The American farmer to-day Is
trying to give the world food at the
lowest possible figure he can produce
1t for He is doing his best with tho
hold Of tractor by increasing the
number Of acres under cultivation
and by decreasing his operating
costs. AS business man, he is look
ing ahead for the best possible means
Of producing. The farm tractor
solves his problem. He is buying and
using them. This Is evinced by the
rapidly increasing orders which we
are receiving daily for both the Sam
son Iron Horse and the Samson
model M tractor"

Tribute to Grace Brown.

In loving remembrance Of Grace
Brown, by Young Peoples Mission
AIRY Society of the Walhalla Metho-
dist church.
In the early dawn Of the morning
Of May 25th. 1920, the death angel
lowered over the bed and clasped to
its bosom the beautiful soul Of Grace
Brown and bore it on wings of love
to it's heavenly home.
For more than three months this
brave girl fought desperately to gain
back her strength and health, which
was destroyed so utterly from the
effects Of influenza. She was always
smiling and always cheerful, and
ever thoughtful Of the loved ones
who ministered to her needs So
bright and witty at times was this
sweet girl that it was hard to believe
that her illness was so serious, and
to large degree it was not realized
even by those nearest and dearest to
her.
But surely and slowly, it seemed,
the dread malady held firmly on,
the heart grew weaker and weaker,
the blood continued it's waste until,
in desperate moment, the loved
physician who had labored 80 pa
tiently and called forth all his best
skill to check the dread MALAY, de-
cided on the last hope. So, OH Sun
day afternoon, May the 23d, Grace
was carried to Baltimore in vain
hope that the skilled specialists
might be able to prolong the life of
this dear girl. All the way on this
long journey this brave girl was

relief grew simmer and simmer
Soon after reaching Baltimore the
great specialists realized their skill
was in vain. Every effort proved
futile. So In the early dawn, as
Nature was awakening from her
drowsiness, as the birds began to
sing their glad song OF new day,
this brave, sweet girl closed her eyes
In deep slumber and awoke "over
on the other Shore where there
will be no more suffering, no more
partings, but there Grace will await
the coming Of all those she loved In
this life.

Grace was present at the last meet
ing OF the society in April, and,
though she was extremely weak, her
sweet voice rose in tremulous tones
to Crock Of Ages, Cleft for me-"
The urgent need Of the whole
world had so impressed this lovely
girl that she had expressed a desire
to become missionary. But Grace s
mission had been fulfilled, and, al
though her young life came to a
close so early-for she was just IA
years Of age-she had gladdened
many heart, and her precious in
fluences are left to guide many to
the throne of Jesus.
Long will the memory OF his sweet
girl linger in the hearts of the mem.
