The farmer beats them all for blind, hopeless

day, eat what the hogs leave, dress only one

have his apollinaris and canvas back. He does
not know, or does not care who enjoys the fruits

They may cackle about their unions and COM
bines and trusts, but the only man who has
genuine, gilt-cdged pat hand in this game is the
farmer The labor unions and capital can pinch
until silver dollar isn't worth an old rusty
washer, but as long as people must eat and dress
the farmer has the top flush.
His lack of action is due to ignorance. Charity
and unselfshness to degree, must precede Coz
operation AS soon as the farmer has broad
ened his views and begins to pine for luxuries
and adequate returns for his labors, Elijah
will spring up in this land and capital will
learn that two dinky little pair are not good
In this game.
My goodness! The fat boys already have
kerosene, gas, coal and various other
things tied up where they can milk them.
Where will we be If the farmer gets to-

little more paternal or we wage workers

An elderly stranger with longing de-

thirty five years, and during all that time had

The incident, however, does show one
thing. If the pills sold as freely as the
Sun states, there are whole lot of men
