AN OPEN LETTER TO ALL FARMERS
And TRUCKERS.
DEAR SIR !:

DEAR SIR:
An old parson was once called to
fill a neighboring pulpit. After he
arrived he found that he had brought
the same sermon he preached there
last time He hadn't brought any
other, so he preached that same ser
mon over again. This was the text,
Cease to do evil and learn to do
we'll" After the sermon one of the
elders remarked that the sermon was
doubtless a worthy effort, but heI
thought once was enough to give it.
Have YOU ceased to do evil and
learned to do well, asked the min
lister: the elder acknowledged they
had not, Then | shall keep on
preaching that sermon until you do. ;"
Our object in addressing this is al
simple one: 1t is to open your eyes,
to the undoubted advantage of ourE
SPRING FERTILIZER for Corn,
Potatoes and all kinds of Trucking
