Dear Sir:
In regard to your letter asking what I think of the Ford
son tractor bought last fall, I will give a short statement of
all the work I did with it. l have plowed 300 acres, double
disced 100 acres, narrowed 200 acres and some road work.
The cost of fuel, oil and repairs was $4,000. Ny blowing was
6 inches and over in depth. The tractor is in shape to go in
the field.
Yours truly,
Herman Garbe.

Antler, N. D., June "a, 1920.
Mr.. C. r. Gleason,
Bottineau, N. Oak. :
Dear Sir ~
The Fordson which I purchased from you this spring
is satisfactory in every way. We have plowed about 240
acres of land with it. We have also hauled a few loads to
town. @ 5". s E->m"
One of the greatest advantages in having one of these
tractors is the fact that it travels faster than any other
tractor. It travels much faster than a team. The speed is
just right for blowing because it lays the burrows SO nice
and smooth. Another advantage is that the motor is en-
closed so that no dirt can enter. This makes less cleaning
and less chance for wear and tear.
The Fordson has run every day since I have had it and it
has not given any trouble. I also own an international tract
or at the present time but the Fordson has a great many ad-
vantages which it has not.
I also wish to say that for it's size it is my firm belief that
it is the best engine on the market and my advice to everyone
Yours respectfully,
F.. J. Pearse.

Dear Sir:
In reply to your inquiry as to how I like my Fordson, beg
to state that l have not lost any time due to b~reakdowns or
any other trouble, am now going on the third season. The
repairs I have needed are so few that they are not worth
mentioning. Might mention further that it is my experience
that a Frdson is much more economical than horses for es-
pecially blowing and disciing and l maintain that it has it
Now that the election is over the Fordson runs just the
same.

MI. C. r. Gleason,
Bottineau, N. Oak.
Dear Sir:
1 will write you q few lines in regard to the Fordson
tractor that I bought of you this spring. l pulled an eight
foot disc and disced over one hundred acres,
pulled a John Deere gang pillow and plowed forty acres, har
rowed so acres and pulled IS double disc press drill and ~eed-
ed $40 acres.
I used up 1926 gallons of kerosene, IS gallons of cylinder
oil and 5 gallons of transmission oil, had to get one new
timer and one new coil and did that amount of work by the
18th of May. The tractor is sure a fine piece of machinery
and it is far cheaper than horses to farm with. I have tried
it in the hills as we'll as on the prairie and find it a success
in either place.
Yours truly,
d. A. Jones.

be fine tribute to the loyal women
Of the war period and was replete
with incidents showing the cheerful
ness with which these brave souls
underwent unknown and almost un-
believable privations and suffering.
The work showed very careful
study of the subject and decided lit
erary ability. 1t was beautifully read
by Miss Smith.
One incident worthy of note was
entirely impromptu. When Veteran
{. ID. Boan, who had recently under
gone paralytic stroke hobbled into
the court room on crude home
made crutch it was remarked that he
would be able to get around better
on pair of light and properly con
structcd crutchcs. Mr.. l.. B. Davis,
who had two boys in the World War
and who complained that he was too
young for the war between the sec
tlons and too old for the World War,
got busy among the veterans and
others present and in a few minutes
handed over to Miss Cora Craig, the
sum of $26.50, with instructions to
provide Mr.. Boan with the finest
pair of crutches that could be found.
Needless to say that Miss Craig will
carry out the instructions and Mr.
Boan will be told to keep the
change"
The ladies of the local chapter of
the United Daughters of the Confcd-
eracy are deserving much praise for
the way in which these annual din
ners are conducted. The veterans are
made to feel on this day that they are
not forgotten and that as long rs they
shall be with us they will hold warm
place in the affections of the younger
generation.
At five o'clock in the afternoon
impressive exercise were held at the
cemetery. The graves of the Con-
federate dead were marked with lit
tie flags containing the Stars and
Bars. There are two graves in the
Chesterfield cemetery which on eacn
Decoration Day are marked with the
Stars and Stripes. These are graves
of two Union soldiers who died short
ly after the war, while South Caro-
lima was under martial law. These
graves are never neglected by the
Daughters of the Confederacy but
are treated with every respect and
the flowers that cover the graves of
the Gray also cover the graves of the
Blue.

DEATH CLAIMS REv.J.L. TYLER

Word was received in Chesterfield
announcing the death at Hemingway,
5. o., OF Rev. }. l.. Tyler.
This will be Il distinct shock to the
entire community, as Mr.. Tyler was
well known and loved here. For four
years he was pastor Of the McthU-
dist Church and in that time endcar-
ed himself to the community bv his
earncstncS@ and aggrGSSivencss i'm the
work to which his life was devoted
He was known as minister who
practiced what he preached and was
not afraid to fight fcr his PRINCIPLES.
The fact that he was returned three
times TO Chesterfield stands as prcoi
of his popularity with his charge.
1t was almost entirely due TO Rev.
Mr.. Tyler's initiative and SUBSEQUENT
hard work that the new church al
Shiloh was built. This building is
noted as the finest country church in
the county if not in this part of the
state.
1t vas during MIR Tylcrs occupan-
cy Of the pulpit at st Pauls that the
new parsonage was built, although
he never occupied it.
Last year Mr.. Tyler was in charge
of the church at Gibson, n. c., and
the last Conference called him to
Hemingway.
The letter announcing Mr.. Tyler's
death was from his son and was ad-
dressed to Judge NJ. J. Hough. 1t
stated that the end came on last
Susday after brief illness of double
Pneumonia.

prefaccd his sermon with tribute
TO the mothers in the audience OF
those wfo are no longer with us. We
could not help but feel the pang in
our own hearts as we looked upon
so many who were wearing the fow-
cr OF pure white.
Mr.. Willie Moore ANA sister. Miss
Allccn, and Miss Era Gardner very
touchingiy sang: Don't grievc your

said: There are many sunny days,
many brilliant rainbows, many beau
tful sunsets and countless numbers
of other bcautic- Of nature but you
have only one mother in the whole
wide world.' ColcridGc realized hi
mothers greatness when he said: "A

VETERANS BANQUETED
UNITED DAUGHTERS OF THE
CONFEDERACY GIVE
RECEPTION TO OLD
SOLDIERS
Decoration Day Marked BY Annual
Dinner of Heroe. OF The Sixties

On last Monday, Decoration Dav
the Confederate Veterans of Chester.
field County were entertained by the
Stonewall Chapter of the United
Daughters of the Confederacy.
Of the $50 veterans still living in
the county about 25 responded to the
invitation issued by the U. D. C.
These ladies provided feast for the
veterans and their wives that will
long be remembered. That is was
heartily appreciated was evident by
the manner in which the good things
were attacked and the profusc thanks
of the old gentlemen after they had
been served.
Mr.. w. M. Freeman had the dis
tinction of being the oldest veteran
present. Mr.. Freeman is 81 years of
age. The youngest "boy" on hand was
most likely Mr.. 2. T. Redfearn who
has sometime since turned 73. Mr..
Redfearn enlisted in 1868 at the age
of Is.
There was music and appropriate
entertainment for the veterans be-
fore the dinner was served.
Mr.. Charles L. Hunley introduced
Mr.. w. p. Odom who delivered a
short and appropriate address. Mr..
Odom eulogised the men of the South
and the spirit that prompted them to
deeds of bravery and to make the
sacrifices that every man and women
in the Southern country had to make.
"The South will ever feel grateful
to these old veterans, just as the
world is now grateful to their sons
and grand sons, of the Thirtieth Di-
vision, the men who broke the Hin
denburg line and brought the World
War to victorious end for America
and the Allies" said Mr. Odom.
Hon. G. K. Loney spoke of the part
the women of the Southland played
in the great struggle. Theirs was the
great sacrifice. They gave their sons
and their husbands to the cause with
bravery that iwas not excclled by
the biavest deeh on the battle field.
And in this ,str4 4ken land the women
not only supported themselves by
their own toll but planted and grew
food for the armies as well.
Mr.. Laney announced that a prize
had been offered by the U. d. C. for
the best essay by high school girl
under the title Of "The Women of the
Sixties" A number had been written
and submitted. The judges had mar
rowcd down to three essays. These
were written by Misses Flora Bell
Rivers, Mary Lee Rivers and Bessie
Hursey. After considerable delibcra.
ton it was decided that Miss Flora
Bell Rivers was entitled to the med

STILLS CAPTURED
DEPUTY SHERIFF J. T. GRANT
LEADS GOVERNMENT MEN
IN RAIDS
Eight Crude Outfits Taken Or Des-
troyed-Many Gallons OF "Beer"
Poured Out-Warrants Issued

In determined effort to rid Ches-
tcrfield County of whiskey makers,
the Sheriff's office has of late been
working in conjunction with the State
and Federal officers.
During the past week Deputy She
riff Grant has located eight stills in
this county and has furnished evi-
dence on which warrants have been
sworn out for six men on the charge
of illicit distilling.
Some of these plants were found
within very short distance of the
court house, others as far away as
Is miles. All Of the outfits were of
comparatively small capacity and
were of a crude nature and the "fire-
water made was of low grade
"boot-leg" variety. Five of the six
men implicated are negroes.
For several weeks Mr.. Grant has
been scouting and when he had To-
Gated the plants he communicated
with State headquarters. In response
to this communication United States
Marshalls Il. A. Coleman and w. d.
Pegues and State Constable Merrill
Quitely dropped into town last Thurs
day and led by Mr.. Grant proceeded
with the business of tearing up the
plants and getting evidence against
the offenders.
The outfit nearest Chesterfield
was located about 2k miles
from town not for from Friendship.
At this place a five-gallon kerosene
can had been converted into a still.
Tic still and several gallons of sour
mash were destroyed. A warrant has
been issued for a negro named jim
Nevins, said to be the owner and op-
orator of the outfit.
Sam Mosely, a negro living on Mr.
G. r. Spencer's place, was caught in
the act of producing liquor. While
Mos!cy's wife was ironing clothes a
five-gallon still was boiling merrily
on the fireplace beside the hot irons.
A quantity Of "beer" was poured out
and the improvised still, also of the
kerosene variety, was smashed. Mos
ley was taken in custody.
LeVann, Rorie, colored, had a
large CutGt in the Pleasant Grove
School district.
Joe Lisenby, colored, is charged
with operating a remodeled kerti
sene can near Guess. Forty gallons
of "beer" was found at this place
Tom Seegars, colored, was operat-
ing the same kind as an outfit in the
same vicinity.
Alex Collins, white, will have to
answer to the charge of converting
his smoke house into distillery. He
lives near the Thompson Creek
Church and his smoke house contain
ed small, poorly made plant.
Two more outfits, one near Ange-
lus and one near Westfield Creek,
were destroyed and quantity of
"beer" poured out, but the operators
were not detected.

DRIVING NEW CARS
HOME FROM FACTORY

Flint, the "Vehicle City," would
have the setting of the war time if
a few more of the citizens were in
Khaki. Grocers are parceling out sug-
ar In small quantities, coal men are
hoping, everywhere there is the same
conversation that obtained in the
days when our boys were across the
Atlantic.
The scene at the big automobile
factories is just the same as that of
three years ago. Labor conditions
have so handicapped shipments that
drlveaways are daily occurrences In
fact the numcer of bort cars that
have been driven to destination this
spring is surprising Hundreds have
gone to Detroit, Chicago, Indianapo-
lis, Toledo, Pittsburgh and other
points, some travelling far greater
distances
"The war showed the possibility
of driving cars over all kinds of
roads and distributors lost no time
in putting the old human machinery
back to work, "says Jno. d. Mans
field, General Sales Manager of the
bort Motor Company. "In more ways
than one is the buyer profiting by
this method. He gets early delivery,
which would be impossible otherwise.
And then the car that comes to him
is broken in, ready for ordinary use,
the trip overland tuning up the mo-
tor and bearings.
"Some have the idea that cars driv-
en- two or three hundred miles are
apt to show signs Of handling. Bodies
are so well smeared with paraffin and
other parts protected that these cars
are not treated as badly as others
being shunted around freight termi-
nails"
