We heard farmer reason thus,
the other day: "When pork was So
per huadred, / used to raise from
fifteen to twenty head of hogs per
year for the market. 1t is now 1915
per hundred, and l have over a hun
dred hogs to sell. The price sounds
low, but | will have more hog money
in my pocket than when pork was
high. There is lots of corn to feed,
and goods are cheap. Pm satisfied. !"
Farmers have not so much cause for
complaint as they may imagine.
They can buy suit of clothes, an
overcoat, or a pair of shoes, for half
what they cost when pork was high.
If pork would always remain high,
and the things which have to be
bought at the store were low, it
would be good times for the farmer.
But the prices of all commodities
keep pace with each other, and a
man is about as well off while every
thing is down as he is when things
are all high-priced.-Darliagton Re
publican.

received a gift; some were very use
full, others ornamental. For the

presents drawn therefrom. An en-
tertaining feature was the voting /:
The names of three little girls were
announced, and the one receiving
the most votes was to be presented
with a pretty dressed doll. For
some time Miss Maud Libby seemed
to be the fortunate one. Carrie
Kessler, however, carried off the

doing good work, and we understand
the young ladies were gratitied al
their success, financially, on this
occasion.
