Many Friends Participate
In Annual Pound Party
Evening Program

Even the hens deep in their am
ti-lay campaign called off the
strike and went to work for the
annual pound party at Sunset
Home Monday. The bees not to
be outdone, busted themselves and
the result was case of the IA
nous clover honey from Major
William Melrose's farm in Char
lotte. Donations grew by leaps
and bounds until the dining room
at Sunset Home resembled a high
grade grocery store. Delicacies
mingled with the more practical
things and today the cellar and
store room shelves fairly groan
with the good things donated by
the friends of the Home. All day
long the gifts poured in until the
success of the annual event far
exceeded that of other years.
The directors of the Home, Mrs
Ruthy Fairbanks, Mrs. C. A. Stan

annually invite in the friends to
share in the privileges. With few
exceptions the directors were all
present and assisted by the ma

and their gifts. In the afternoon
tea was served by Mrs. Randall

the friends and expressed in warm
words the appreciation felt by the
directors and Home family of all
the expressions of friendly inter

TO THE
PEOPLE

The chief cause of the III
health of the American people is
constipation. If the waste of
the body is not properly dis
posed of daily, indigestion must
result. When there is indiges-
ton there is an improper ASST
milation of food, loss of flesh,
and in time a general rundown
condition affecting the whole
nervous system and often caus-
ing disease of various organs.
The American Little Liver
Tablet is the "Best General
Regulator" They act as a
general tonic to the stomach
and bowels; nature is simply
aided in doing her work proper
~ and good health results. They
are purely vegetable. Dose:
One or two at night as needed.
In case of chronic constipation,
one half to one glass of hot
water, night and morning is
helpful.
The American Throat Tablet
(improved) have been carefully
compounded to meet the general
demand for general throat
tablet, to be dissolved in the
mouth for hoarseness, sore
throat, tonsilitis, coughs and
colds. AS children cannot gar
gle, and the American Throat
Tablet is as palatable as candy,
it is the remedy par excellence
for them. They are helpful to
the stomach and cannot be sur
passed as a preparation to be
kept in the house at all times.
Directions: Dissolve one in
mouth every hour or two as
needed. Small children one
fourth to one-half tablet.

Jacks Brave Deed

Dear Uncle Jed: It was a hot day in June and little boy named Jack was working in his garden. The other boys who were living nearby laughed at him because he worked in the garden all day to support his mother who was old and feeble and was not able to work. Jack had worked very hard that morning in his garden. But in the afternoon when he came to work in his garden he found it was in ruins. The boys had let their chickens in his garden and they had eaten his corn and lot of other plants and vegetables. Jack was angry at them but he said not a word while they still laughed at him. The next day Jack went to town to see the president who was to arrive that day. Jack stood alone when the president went oy in his auto with his little daughter Marion.
 The president got of his auto to shake hands and talk to the people that were
 near.
 Jack was listening very closely when

Jack 1 fin a moment was after the machine He jumped in and stopped It in time for fl was going straight for a big tree and this would have nearly killed Marion. i Jack was cheered by the people for hi braye deed. The president rewarded Jack with 8 big sum of money, The ooys

at the same time by getting job with some successful implement dealer and either selling or handling machinery.
 Last but not least you should know something about farming. You can't tell what kind of machine to sell man or what arguments to use in trying to sell 1t unless you know the problems he has to solve and the sort of tools he is liable to want. You will get along better with the farmer if you are able to talk to him in his own language This knowledge you ought to be able to pick up in a couple of summers on an up-to-date farm.
 There are considerable number of magazines published for dealers in farm implements. Go to your city library get a copy of a good newspaper or magazine directory, and find what mag azines are published in the territory in which you propose to locate and what one seems to discuss the part of the farm implement trade in which you are interested.

 In two weeks all was ready. At 8 o'clock Saturday morning, Alice and I went to the homes of our friends. Greet ings were exchangd and by 10 o'clock we had started. Mary, being the best shooter took a gun along on chances of finding some game.
 When we had reached our destination we put up our tent and soon had the coffee boiling and the potatoes roasted It is needless to say that we all had hearty appetite. The dinner went oil perfectly with the exception that An na spilled her coffee on Polly's new dress.
 We had grand time and had just taken up out tent when the honk honk of an automobile was heard. The good woman who drove took Us home in her machine.

Farm Implement Dealer Sells
 More Than Hoes, Rakes, Scythes
BY B. s. ALEXANDER

BY B. s. MExAEDER
 Are you fond of machinery9 Do you like the conntryl And do you want to figure some way to put the two together? Well, why not be dealer in farm implemeRtsf
 It used to be that when a farmer had hoe, rake, a scythe, and 3 wheat cradle he had all the tools he needed. But that time is past Machinery is now required on the farm just as any where else and more is being invented and used all the time. A young man who embarks in the farm implement business will find that he has gone into a rapidly developing business.
 Before you start as a farm imple- ment dealer, you should know three things. You should know machinery, first of all. You should know farm ma chinery. There are two ways to get this knowledge. You may work in a factory which makes farm implements. There you will get experience in mak- ing the implements which you will later sell.
 Then you should know something about business methods. A lot oi hardware merchants fail because they do not know how to run their business efficiently. Of course, you will have to learn a good deal of this end of il from actual experience running busi. ness. But 1t is a good idea to know something about it before you start Your business is apt to be much healthier. You can get knowledgl of business methods and of machlnerl

Pink S.znbonnet Lady
 Becomes Truck Farmerette
BY CAROLINE WElRIcH

BY CAROLINE WEIRIcH
 The Pink Sunbonnet Lady was al- ways at work in her garden. She was there at dawn and at dusk, digging planting, and wedding. The Sunbon- net Lady raised vegetables and plants for sale to the town people. Cut flow CTS, too, were specially of hers.
 Through the fence could be seen eggplant, celery, sweet potatoes, and many other good things that could not be found in other gardens around the town. At the far end of the big lot were ob1ong frames covered with glass. These were the greenhouses where let tuce, cucumbers, radishes, tomatoes, etc, were cultivated.
 The Pink Sunbonnet Lady knew her business. When the Great War was waging, she had been farmerette. On huge farm, she had "done her bit 1" She had pitched hay in the fields, husked corn, driven teams and gar dened for $500 day.
 After the war was over she went to an agricultural college and studied market gardening. She took up this phase of agriculture because it is the type of farm work for which woman is best fitted, She can do almost all of the actual labor herself. She eau start into business with a small cap itsl. Furthermore, the soil can be used two or three times a season to pro- duee such vegetables as lettuce, rad ishes and onions.
 There are really three possibilities open to the farmerette; one is tc hire out on a farm and thereby ge the actual experience; another Is tc run a small plant near the city; .

The Kitten on the Table.

Dear Uncle Jed: One night after I had eaten my dinner I sat at the table and felt very sleepy, and as I was playing with my napkin ring a tiny cloud came from it. And as I watched it the cloud became darker and took the form of a black kitten. The kitten ran to the milk pitcher, and as he went to drink the milk the pitcher screamed. The milk pitcher ran to the sugar howl and puss ran after it. The sugar bowl and the milk pitcher both tumbled over. The dish of cheese became frisky and out jumped a little mouse Fuss ran after the mouse and knocked most all Of the dishes off the table. I was sure grandma would come in and see the table All Of a sudden I heard some one say, Oracle, get up and go to bed" I was so glad it was only 9 dream.
