lare many changes taking place amon2
the farmers and townspeople. Aged
farmers, who have toiled on their farms
since the pioneer days, have been re-
warded by having their once practical
Nv worthless land increase in value to
such an extent that they are now men
of independent wealth They and their
good wives have raised a family that
has grown up and left them, and in
their declinng days they move to town

without Gale or labor. But each seas
on sees the return of many of these re-
tired farmers to the farm. A year or

their happiest years. Ii they remain
