Which Kind of
A Pipe-Smoker
Are You?

There's the man who doesn't care
what kind of tobacco he smokes in his
pipe just SO it holds fire and makes
rings.
And there's the man, minded to
have all there is to smoking, who will
fill his pipe only with tobacco Of real
quality and favor
The man who insists upon having
quality and flavor in his pipe-tobacco
may have to pay somewhat more for
it nowadays than before the War.
That true of Edgeworth and of good
tobacco in all forms.
But the difference in price man
pays for good tobacco is too narrow
to influence the judgment of pipe
smoker who loves his own brand.
Other things-all things-cost more
in proportion, and he is generally a
tolerant fellow who knows that when
it is time for good tobacco to come
down in price, it will come.

Were a Farmer

And were about to buy a tractor,
I would want to know:
Is the tractor adapted to the size
and soil of my farm?
Will it do the work better than it is
now being done?
Will it wholly or partially displace
horses? If the latter, how many?
Will it save man power?
For what purposes other than field
work can it be used-proftably?
Will I be given practical instruc-
tion in its operation?
Will there be any inspection to see
that I am using it properly?
If I have trouble, can I get service
promptly?
If I need new parts, can get them
from the dealer, or must / send to the
factory?
The answer to the above ques-
tions will be given by the fellow who
owns a FORDsON or Yonce &

Misses Lawton Give Delightful
Party.

Misses Gladys and Anne Lawton
entertained about thirty of their
friends at lovely party on Thursday
evening at 500 o'clock.
On the arrival of the guests they
were served with delicious punch.
Then the cards for progressive con-
versation were given to the guests,
which caused quite a stir for several
minutes until the cards were filled
out. After this the conversation was
begun and rather irregularly, because
one, of the mischieyous guests cap
tured the esbeIfand prolo edstheS dates
according to his wishes. This con-
tinued until the bell was recaptured
by one Of the charming hostesses.
The conversation lasted for almost
two hours, during which time many
songs were played and sung. When
the end of the last date came, delight
full block cream, vanilla and straw
berry, and pound cake were served.

discussed the formation of market

matter.

Trenton; Messrs. Carwile, Reel, Dun
ovant and Wright of Edgefeld;

Mr.. C. F. Brooks gave delightful
dinner party to his co-workers. Many
surprises were given him in forms of
kilograms, toasts and parting gifts.
At this the last meeting, toast was
given by Miss June Rainsford to that
member of the corps who is soon to
leave the ranks, thinking this life of
single blessedness isn't SO nice after
all. Miss Minis responded with toast
to The Spinsters. This was wonder
fully fitting close to very happy
year. Mr.. Brooks was ever thought
full and attentive to his teachers, and
it is the regret on their part that he
sees fit to seek other fields of work.

school auditorium on Friday evening.
The many, in fact the full house gave
evidence of the interest of the people
in the musical efforts of our young
people. A full program may be read
on our front page.
1t seemed to be the consensus of
opinion that of the number of splen-
did recitals arranged by Miss Shep-
pard, this was the best yet. Musi-
clans present commented on the quail
ity of all the performances and the
high grade of work reached, as well
as the splendid selections of numbers.
The Philharmonic music club had
offered prizes for the best rendered
number, and at the close of the pro-

club, presented two prizes, one to
Miss May Rives, and another to lit

"Must Not be Again"

So much more vivid, so much more
real, is seeing a thing than hearing
about it even ad infnitum. The rows
and rows of flag-draped coffins on Ho-
boken pier moved President and Mrs.
Harding to tears. So would it move
all of US, and should move us to say
vehemently with the president, "It
must not be in."-Spartanburg
Herald.
Very we'll said by The Herald; but
as for President Harding, what has he
done toward preventing war? Abso-
lutely nothing as senator or as pres
ident. On the contrary it seems to
be his main purpose in life to nullify
the work that his predecessor in the
presidency did to bring about and
preserve peace.-Newberry Observer.
