Uncle Jimmie Martin says he has
the best 80 acres of wheat in the coun-

for the wheat crop just as it stands, he
began multiplying by 80, as much as to

with vein of wit and cutting carcasm
running through it. lie is only AZ years

a small audience present, but it appre-
ciated the lecture, and by rising vote
extended thanks to the lecturer. The
