Paine's celery compound not only re-

wonder how the farmer can possibly live
and pay his taxes OH the prices he re-
ccives. 1t is true that wheat has risen
until it is now bringing Il little more
than IL costs to produce it. But this rise
occurred after Il big portion of the crop
had gone out OF the hands of the pro

Is 1t any wonder under such a condition

Is 1t Il surprise that the young men are
all leaving their country homes for any

There Is nothing that should more seri.

Ana yet every year the farms turn loose

There are many of our economists who
tell us that this state of things is brought
about by over-production. But in the

find hundreds of persons hungry and lily

ing in mills and factories, and then we 90
to the farms and find men, women and
children going with less wearing apparel
with wornout and dilapdntcd furniture

there's Something else to account for
