his left hand know what his right hand dOeth-and
who shrinks and becomes sOrrowful when the Tam
many newspapers uneah and exploit his hidden char
t!es-wu feel happier when he learns that the poor
farmers are still able TO find market in foreign lands
for their surplus beef, pork and dairy products that
sevea shploads have been sent from our seaports,
even since the "cyclOnic stonevaH' was buit, ana
that the foreign customers OF the poor farmers are
actually paying them for beef, bacon, pork. but
