Jerry Simpson says that his recent
election expenses were just $3.50. He

expenses while in Washington attend

The census bureau commissioner be-
came dissatisfied with the farm mort
gage showing made by the returns and
has sent letters to every farmer who
has a mortgage for an individual state
ment of the amount of the lien upOn
their homes. But what good will such
information do? The government has
repeatedly refused to listen to the
farmers in their pathetic appeals for
help. There is but one other use such
statistics can be used for, and that is
to uncover the helpless condition of
the Individual farmer to the eastern
Shylock so that he may the better
know how to lay his plans to attack
the title to their homes and wrest it
from them, and the government is
playing into his hands by collecting
the necessary informations for him.

not it's European ~sense-have largely
affected governments. I am glad
when government forbids hesemploy-
ment of children and forbids certain
kinds of work to women and children.
All this has come about through the
Industrial movements. When [ think
| of the SORROWS of life, | wonder that
One-half of the world does not commit
suicide before the sun sets. The life of
the race is a bleeding pathway all the
way through; hardest of the tender
feet of women and children. | am
glad that the gate swings outward fol
me only a little longer, I am so over
whelmed with the sorrows of the world
but ultimately God will comfort all His
people. "-Mary A. Li;rermOre.

go into the field of battle and carry or
the fight without the hope of a large
compensation, but for principle alone
When you see men get up and do this
when you see the entire machinery Of
reform moving without the hope of 6
dollar outside of the hope of better
times, then genuine reform is bound tC

While Mr.. Weaver was delivering
his address on Finance and Farmer
before the Pennsylvania State Dairy
mans association the other day, 6
gentleman back in the audience who
was smarting under the merciless ex
posure of the class legislation which
has disgraced our country for the past
quarter of a century, arose and in
quired "what kind of a COW, in your
judgement, Mr.. Weaver, is best ad
apted to the dairy business in Iowa!'
Mr.. Weaver replied that the people Of
Iowa were not entirely satisfied with
their COW. She was not compact
enough and was too long. She had
been standing. for more than Is years
