THE NORTHERN STATES HAVE OFFICIALLY ADOPTED THE 56' AUTO TRACK WAGON Neither too Wide nor too Narrow but Standard 56-Inch Auto -track --- COLUMBUS --- Bought by Farmers Because of Its Known Qualities EGA RD LESS of all other considerations ? the 60-inch wagon does not fit the road. Any advantages it might possess are o(f*et by the fart that it is a stranger on its own load* It rides the ridges, which causes broken axles, wheels ?,nd other p:\rts.and the tongue whips about which is hard on the t'\.:n. I he ;.;stly famous C < dumbus wagon is built only in 56" auto-track because tins h l!;; standard appro\ed tread of automobiles ? and the automobile makes th'* in mud or soft roads. If the farm wagon is not made to follow the s.m.e path it is cut of date for road service. Automobiles are increasing among farmers because they are a time-saving necessity, and every farmer who hasn t an automobile intends to procure one at the earliest opportunity. Th e ( olumbus '3on auto-track wagon will do everything that the old 60" wagon would do. It will haul cotton bales as easily as the wide track'wagon and the team < an draw the load without having to pull every inch of the way. It lends itself just as readily to all kinds of farm work and in addition it fits the prevailing road tracks. Besides the auto-track feature the new Columbus has the patented F ifth VI heel and the "Safety f irst" Swivel Reach Coupling ? two advantages that are worth $20 apiece to the user during the life of the wagon. By all means see our Columbus wagons before you buy. We can offer you something that will save you money and give you service. Rh arne Brothers, Camden, S. C.

A statement urg ing all county treasurers of the United War Work campaign to check up tbiir accounts and' make a final effort to se cure outstanding subscription* at once in order to show a clean slate for gov ernment inspection, has betn issued by ; John W. Simpson of the National Ixian and Exchange liank and treasurer of the campaign in South Carolina. Mr. Simpson likewise makes an ap peal for individual subscribers -to pay up their subscriptions in full immediate ly. ? It is not only the fair and Bfjuare thing for thorn to do, he say?, %but he (Htintn out tilie fact that it in to their interest to discharge such long standing obligations now and face the forthcom* ing era of prosperity free of debt and worry. "Within the next, few weeks it -is the piii'|>ose of the leaders who ? over the Tinted War Work campaign last fall to clean up all their accounts for presentation to government authorities," said Mr. Simpson. *"As treasurer of the campaign in South Carolina, I think it is not unfitting for me to suggest that treasurers everywhere and the 'public generally co-operate, with the United War Work committee in helping South Caro lina and the South to make the best jxxsiblc showing in the final check up.

The United War Work committee has found it necessary to employ others to l"ok after the details ..f collection. It is high time for the public to make i pos>iblfr the release of these resjionsi- j bilities. "Moreover, it is to the individuals own interest to discharge these debts. N'o man wants to have these things hanging over him. to feel in his o-wn heart that he is lagging in his pay ments and promises, or to know that others are aware of his dereliction. There could be no better time than now, when times ar e lvxuming and the fu ture looks prosperous for all, to clean up these obligations and start afresh with a clean wlate. .. ...
