cent law of supply and demand.
Supply and demand own the largest
mill on earth, and all the rivers roll
over their wheel, and into their hopper
they put all tie men, women and chill

and you Will say: "Sec what have
been blessed with God has given me
this, and, so far as enjoying it, it is
yours also" That is gospel.
