Smile!!!
Tl ! s easy enough to lie happy,
When life flow s by like a song
But the one worth while,
Is the one w ho can smile,
When every thing goes dead
wrong.
It's the cheerful grin that wins
the admiration of the human race
and the fellow who frowns never
gets anywhere in the esteem of his
fellow citizens.
Here’s what a member of the
class has to say about it.

A Song of Cheer.
(By Sara Joe Roberts.)
its the songs you sing and the
( smiles you wear,
That makes the sunshine every
where.
Bs the cheapest thing that you
can do,
So just throw out a smile or

fret,
There’ed he no reason for regret.
The way to make your neighbors
glad
For as long as you smile you can’t
be mad.

‘s9s OF EVERY SIOO SPENT for
FOR OIL STOCKS IS LOST.”
If our people ever can get high
prices for their cotton again, they
will probably be less willing to let
all kinds of slick-tongued promo
ters take their surplus money
from them. Headers who have
money to invest this fall will do
well to ponder the following item
sent out by the United States
Treasury Depart meat.
“ Production of oil is one of the
great fuel requirements of the
world today. Hut fake oil stocks
have lit the tires under hundreds
of thousands of bank accounts.
Nathan Adams, vice president of
one of the largest banks of Dallas,
Texas, in touch with every ramifi
cation of the great Texas oil in
dustry, estimates that out of ev
ery SIOO invested in oil stocks. $95
is lost,”
Oil stocks and mining stocks are
probably the most risky of all in
vestments, lmt if is a safe rule to
invest in no company that sends
traveling agents up and down the
country in search of buyers for its
stock. Really high-class invest
ments are not sold this way.
Companies whose stock and
bonds are publicly advertised by
long established and well-known
financial institutions put them
selves on record in black and
white as to their assets, liabilities,
and prospects. Conequently they
may he held accountable for their
statements. Stocks peddled about
by all kinds of traveling salesmen,
on the other hand, get most of
their buyers on the strength of
wild and extravagant oral prom
ises which are never put in writing
-—and really w ould be worth noth
ing if they were put in black and
white by irresponsible agents who
are here today and gone tomorrow
Invest first of all in machinery,
livestock, paint, fencing, buildings,
and home conveniences for your
own farm. Then invest your sur
plus only in reliable industrial
stocks and bonds—never in any
sort of oil stock or mining stock,
nor in any kind of stock peddled
about over the country by wander
ing agents.—The Progressive Par
mer.
Found the Dragon Fly.
Aunt Elizabeth and her nephew
Harold, were look ng at a comic pic

Eliminating Poison Ivy,
The cheapest and most effective
method of eliminating poison Ivy, ac
cording to experts of tbe UrdteJ States
department of agriculture, is the sim
pie one of rooting up the plants and de
stroying them. If the poison Ivy is In

plow and cultivate the land. Ivy on
large trees, stone walls and buildings
can be killed by arsenate of soda, at
the rate of two pounds to ten gallons
of water. Two or three applications
are sufticlent.

It’s the song you sing and the

THE BARROW TIMES, WINDER, GEORGIA.
Winder Well Rep
resented at Cox
Represented
Quite a number of Winder boys
attended the llallowcn reception
at Cox college last Saturday even
ing. given by the Sigma Lambda
Sigma society in honor of the Phi
Lambda Sigma society. This is one
of the two biggest events of the
year at Cox and the Winder hoys
were very much gratified at hav
ing the honor to attend. It will he
remembered that quite a number
of Cox girls attended the State W.
C. T. C. Convention here and the
large number of invitations given
out was evidently due to the girls
appreciation of the warm recep
tion given them during their stay
here. The Winder boys who at
tended were: Albert Benton. Elton
Drake, Henry Drake, Robert Rus
sell. Cordon Rowell, Edwin Starr,
Ambrose Jackson, Bertram Rad
ford. Hubert Jacobs, Harold Mc-
Donald, and Jack Millikin.
The lower floor of the main dor
mitory was beautifully decorated
in a color scheme which was quite
artistic and appropriate for the ocj
casion. On account of the 75 pas
senger electric limousine to Col
lege Park being late the future
Senators and Presidents, who com
posed the Winder delegation, did
not arrive until the proms were
well under way. but this did not
mar the evening’s enjoyment for
the boys, as the girls were especi
ally hospitable to them. Cox has
a hunch of girls that cannot lie sur
passed by any school as to beauty
and eongenialisni, in fact some of
the boys expressed their surprise
and pleasure at meeting some of
them. Year the close of the even
ing delicious refreshments were
serxed and needless to say were on
joyed by all. At the wink of the
lights the boys bade their various
girls good-bye and expressed their
appreciation of the wonderful
time shown them. While waiting
for the return of the “private lini
iousine” someone suggested a toast
similar to this; “Down with Hard
ing and up with Cox.’’ which was
heartily given. The boys since re
turning have declared this one of
the most enjoyable evenings spent
in a long time, and hope that they
may have many more pleasing
ones in the future, as this one was.

Term “The Public."
What wo understand today by the
terra “the pubiic" did not exist during
antiquity, us It presupposes a great
number of simultaneous readers of ono
and the same writings, a condition
that could not be realized before the
invention of printing. The first book
that may be said to have had a public

the printed Bibie. The essential In
atrurnent, however, for the formation
of “a public,’’ journalism, did not ap
pear before the French revolution.

TRADE N/l AR.VY
A Fordson Tractor on the farm means more prosperity for the farm
er. it doesn’t make any difference how you spell that prosperity—whether
it is increased production; whether it is in the saving that comes from a ma
chine over a horse or a mule; whether dromes in a release from 1 lie drudgery
and all-day and all-night labor on the farm for both man and wife—because
the Fordson answers all those problems to tin* satisfaction of the farmer.
It can’t he otherwise. These are the days of progress, and power on the
farm is the necessity. It is only a question of what kind of power the farmer
is going to have, but no farmer with the facts now before him can question
the monetary advantage of machine power over horse and mule power. The
Tractor is the farmer’s necessity just as much as the sun the necesity for grow
ing crops.
All that is necessary for a farmer is to know his Fordson Tractor as fa
miliarly as he understands handling a team of horses. He wants to use the
same amount of reason and common sense. In the Fordson Tractor is the
concentrated power of eighteen horses and as flexible as the movement of your
aria—much more flexible than horse control- and beyond all comparison
much more economical both in service and in keep. Then il will do so many
things that horses and mules cannot do, and it doesn’t eat when idle.
We don’t believe there is any question in the mind of any farmer as to
the necessity for a Tractor, but he may have some doubts as to what make of
Tractor, so that is the reason we are put tin” this advertisement in this paper
to draw his attenion to the Fordson Tractor. This is why we put the above
arguments before him, and why we now invite him to come in to our place of
business and view tbe Fordson Tractor. Let us show him what it has done.
Let us prove to him its superiority over any other Tractor. 11 means more
to him than it does to us. When we sell a Tractor, we make a small profit,
but when he buys a Tractor he buys a power that is working for him every
lay in the year; that is, if he buys a Fordson—we can’t speak- for the other
kinds. Come in!
