first question was: rs your farm a
better place to live on than it was I,
yeaI ago? Why" Mr.. Yale says a
farm is either improving or going
back He had tried hard to improve
him place, and in that way made it
s,better place. Each gentleman,
was called on to answer the question
Some had built fences, some made
improvements i'm the buildings,
others had added labor saving ma
chiHery and in other ways made their
farm more desirable to live on.
Ought we, who deliver cur pur-
chased goods, pay the same price as
those who have theirs delivered free"

Ho rs of the opinion that the con-
sumner pays the delivery charges
