FOREIGN TRADE AND THE EX

During t'r. war we entertained the

we should turn a cold shoulder to
German trade,—especially as to buy

ummated. It formed’an interesting

noon, November 12. The program
has been arranged by a group of local
committees and is expected to last
about an hour and a half. There will

RED CROSS.
Through the efforts of some of our
people the Red Cross is going 1 to try
and make a membership drive be
ginning November 1 1 to the ‘2G. We
are very anxious to get enough sub
scriptions at one dollar each to secure
a charter. Committees will call on
you to see if you wish to become .t
associated
Gus Hill who is responsible for
bringing Mutt and Jeff into promin
ence as stage favorites has apparent
ly outdone himself in this season’s
offering. He has supplied Mutt and
Jeff with a musical comedy in three
acts in which they go through a series
of adventures that are uproariously
funny. The tittle of the bran-new
musical comedy is “Mutt and Jeff at
the Races” and this attraction will be
seen at the Colonial Theatre, Thurs
day, November 18.
From all accounts this season’s pro
duction eclipses all previous achieve
ments. Delightful melodies a carload
of picturesque scenery, lighting ef
fects, novel features and other essen
tial ingredients to provoke mirth have
been supplied.
As usual, Mutt is trying to make a
‘‘goat" out of his faithful and susopt-
ible pall, Jeff. However, little Jeff
manages to extract himself with fly
ing colors, but not without distribut
ing an avalanche of fun, hilarity and
joy in behalf of his many friends and
well-wishers. Above all it is a vehicle
of movable comedy action, color and
entertainment—an entertainment
that pleases and delights both young
and old.
A Mutt and Jeff production is syn
onymous with all that is good in the
way of pretty girls, infectious music
and resplendent costuming. One of
the noteworthy feature of the per
formance is a comedy chorus of
young misses who know how to sing
and dance with rare and infinite
charm and skill.
Twenty tuneful numbers have been
written by Edward Hutchison and
Richard F. Carroll and the book is by
Nat Leroy. A large and capable

TRADE MARK
Farm Tractor
The Fordson cuts the cost of preparing land almost to half of what it cost
with horses But even more important is the fact that the Fordson saves from
thirty to fifty percent of the farmer’s time. (AncJ time saved—getting fields i n
shape to plant in the proper season; getting things done when theyshould be
done—mean, money to the farmer. Besides it helps greatly in solving the labor
problem.
As even > the machine way is proving more efficient, faster, easier than the
old hand way In the factory, the rnachone increases production, saves labor-
produces more at less cost. And that is w1\at the fordsin does on the farm. The
Fordsin way is the machine way of farming. Besides it helps the labor problem
The Fordson’s first cost is low; and the after or operating cost is low. fi
