Sustain the Honor Of the Farmer
There is a measure Of commercial in
trgrity in business circles that We
hope may reach the farmer. The
fast business man may settle every
year with his creditors at from ; {"
50 cents on the dollar, pursue with
out the interruption Of day or hour
his business and his pleasures, and he
received upon change and in society
without II .lisparagiug remark. We
have known merchants deliberately
settling $4,000 of debt at forty cents
Oh the dollar, selling off the stocks OF
goods and investing in real estate for
speculation the sixty cents Ut their
debt stolen from their creditors. Ia
this honest? 1t has become a recos.
nizc.l Means Of escaping financial
difficulties. Tom, Dick AMI Harry

crime of stealing horse.
Farmers. sustain the honor aud tho
integrity of the farmer; pay Your
debts dollar for dollar, If it takes
every acre of your homestead. We
want no commercial standard of hon
esty that calls stealing Settlements
Let your weights aud y"nr measures
be fall, square, fair and honorable.
Let the sons and daughters of Amer
lean farmers be taught that trickery,
deception, lying and stealing are
wrong, that every obligation should
be paid in full, interest aud principal.
