mandatory requires iron and wood,
paint, oils, felt, canvass, metals,
glass, coal and what not, and as it
cannot produce them, it must go to
those who toll in the mines, tho for

Of farm machinery, and, as nature
has scattered all over this broad
earth, the various necessities reouir-,

Take the stove upon which the
daily meal is prepared, analyze it's

Another illustration that we would
