Who sings of the farm, er,

Z Who sings of the farmer?
Grand old player of uphill game.
Spurreds by no prize Of wealth or fame;
Game which calls for a soldiers WILL :
Game which demands a sailors skill;
Single handed facer Of woes,
Deeper than buffets by human foes;
Wager ofgceascless. stubborn fight.
All the year, every year, day and night:
With, ill-timed drought and drench and
cold.
With the wasted crop and the stricken fold
With prospects Of plenty rudely nipped
With the garden barred and the orchard
stripped;
Disappointed and sick at heart.
Weary of playing victims part,
Weary Of promises unfulflled. ST
Of shattered plans and Of projects killed;
Still he plays on; still day by day
Girds himself bravely to the fray,
Payssup the loss and takes the blow,
Grimly smiles at each overthrow
Hopes against hope to the creed he clings.
End must come to the worst of things;
So the years pass. Then the Final CAN
Bows the brave head, and back to- the wall,
Facing his world of sorrow. not shame.
The grand old PLAYER yields the game!
Yet--Ilobody sings Of the farmer. -

BOND ISSUE DEPENDS
ON VOTE OF MINORITY
Democrats Are Hopeful of Carrying Plan
to Reduce Tax Levy.

The assembly will meet tonight and
the principal business expected is the
consideration of the proposition to issue
$500, 900 worth of permanent improve
ment bonds.
If the Republican minority is to be be-
lieyed the issue will never be made, but
the Democrats are confident and declare
that it will go through. They say that
no member of the council can consistently
vote against anything that means re-
duction in the present tax levy.
Yesterday Assemblyman Rosen
was mentioned as one of the mem
bers who would vote against the
issue. Assemblyman Arnold and
Schumacher have already gone on record
as opposed to it, so that if Mr. Rosen
is added the outcome is practically de-
termined. as the bonds cannot be issued
without three-fourths vote.
The Democrats are DESTROYS of lowering
the tax levy by an issue of bonds, but
from present prospects it would look as if
their efforts would be fruitless.
