The Farmington times. (Farmington, St. Francois County, Mo.) 1905-1926, 1906-07-13

M HEN Palmer Cox, the Brownies papa,
w Made up his mind that it was proper
To tell the story of these folk
He must have thought it was joke
To slight the town in which you live.
And this is why this rhyme | give
To you; and will vouch its truth
To sceptics ALL in age or youth.
The Brownies made your town a visit
The dates not necessary, is itf
And if their trip you'll kindly read up
In all the steps by which they lead up,
You'll learn more profitable things
Than those Of which old Palmer sings.
I tell you where they made it pay
To buy the things they got that day
Also the things they chanced to see
AS here and there they wandered free
In mischief, interest and glee--
And no matter how you would have it to be,
This is their trip as they told it to me-

Then next to put these things together
With other things to cheat the weather,
Quite puzzled 'cm; but twas not long
Till Contractor J. W. MCCARTHY came
along,
He built their houses, top TO bottom
With skill the Brownies arts ne'er
taught 'em.
From basement stones to turrets' height,
He built their homes, aud built EN- right.

The Brownies bought, and wisely too,
For straight to TETLEY-KLEIN LUM-
BER co. they skipped
Till DER his lumber piles they tripped
They purchased seasoned oak and pine,
Cedar, ash, walnut. cherry fine,
Maple and poplar, hickory, all
For which the wisest man might call.

Where're lofty buildings rise
Whose graceful towers pierce the skies
The Brownie band will tell YOU this
And seldom does it come amiss:
Twas built from II. II. HOHEN-

Whose work is true as any mans
Whose plans are ever sure to please,
And graceful as the forest trees.

To go where stock is large and good
As any kept since Noah's flood.

When they could carry nothing more

Set down their loads to count their money
Then laughed as it twas all quite funny

Diamonds, cut glass, watches, rings,

Brownies found at prices low
At TETLEY'S where wise folk go
To buy their jewelry; and there
The Brownies learned what bargains were.
BE wise-these imps example heed,
Whene'er some jewelry you need.
Within case upon the street
The Brownies saw some faces sweet
They seemed alive-but they were not.
And little Patrick on the spot
Declared he'd have his "picter took"
And Patrick knew just like book
That KAHN made the best: and so,
All had them taken there you know.

1t is said that keeping eternal
ly at it brings success. This is
true in warfare as well as in Other
things. For instance, if you want
to get the best of the fight with
the boil weevil, fight him all the
time. Fight him now, fight him
in the spring. fight him in the sum-
mer; never let up. Like any other
enemy, the more persistently and
continuously you fight him, the
weaker he becomes. One way TO
fight him is in the same manner
that some people advise you to
fight the devil, and that is with
fire. The fact that nearly all the
cotton crop in this state will soon
be gathered affords the opportunity
of going after the weevil early with
fire. Immediately after the cotton
has been gone over the last time in
picking, the stalks should be cut
and burned up as soon as they have
become sufficiently dry to burn.
Also the weeds and grass should
be consumed with the stalks. By
this method thousands OF weevils
will be destroyed while in hiberna-
ton. The destruction of the trash,
such as weeds, grass, corn stalks,
cane stalks, etc, in adjoining
patches or fields should demand
that the torch be applied to them.
This work has been tested and
found to be effective. Fight the
weevil, fight him hard, fight him
all the time. Then plant the quick
est maturing and most prolific va
rieties of cotton at the earliest pos
sible time. In other words, fight
Mr.. Weevil all fall and winter,
and beat him to it" in the spring.

twenty-four thousand dollars by
the time they get away from the
home roost. The question arises
does it pay to raise boys and are
there no other crops that would
prove more prohtable' If a boy
turns out to be a cigarette hend
with a breath like a turkey buzzard
and laugh that would make the
untutored donkey feel perfectly at
home in his society, and with an
untrammeled and unconquorable
desire to avoid work, it is safe to
say that his parents might have
invested their four thousand dol
lars at a much better advantage.
But if the boy grows up TO man
hood with the lesson we'll learned
that wealth and success grow only
on bushes watered by the sweat of
ones brow, the parents need not
begrudge whatever they have spent
on him, for he will be a source of
increasing pride and JOY to their
hearts, and when they grow old
and their step is slow and faltering
they have two strong arms TO lean
upon and help them over
all the rough places that lie in
their twilight path.-Somerville
