An anecdote that has q moral is told
concerning Il recent county convention OF
farmers i'll Iowa When the convention
assembled, several gentleman who had been
rather more conspicuous as politicians than
as tillers of the soil, sought to take seats
This was objected to.when one Of them ex-
claimed, Why shouldn' be a member of
theconyention? Don / own seven farms?'
To whom there came responsive voice
from crowd of the hornyhanded That :
just it, fudge. fou own too many farms
There is hint for the farmers in this reply.
Beware Of the men who own too many
farms they are apt to have among their
other possessions national bank stock, rail
road shares, an interest in a rolling mill,
or in some other business that depends on
the monopoly principle for its prosperity.

that no such arrival had taken place at all,
but that the report was false. And then
the surprise party was a great deal more

guests gathered up that infant furniture

I have spent good deal Of time IN
