Have Their Troubles.

Samuel Gompers, at the recent con-
vention in Washington of the Civic
Federation, said of children:
children should be protected from
wage slavery, for, when free as air,
they have enough trouble, dear knows.
Walking along an East side street,
came on two tiny tots, the smaller
of whom was bawling as If to break
his lungs.
"a window opened and a little girl
shrieked:
Tommy, who's been a-hittin' of
YEP
'Nobody's been a-hittin' of him,
the larger tot answered. He's swal-
Tered a worm'"

THE GENTLE CYNlC.

Hope is about the cheapest thing in
the world.
Stretching the truth won't make it
last any longer.
The man who is mis- own worst
enemy makes poor friend.
Many man catches on who
doesn't know when to let go.
It is much easier to locate an
enemy than to know who our friends
are.
The liquid glance of the summer
girl may have changed to an icy stare
now.
The girl who is quick to see
mans faults is apt to remain an old
maid.
It's the lightweight who always
complains that the scales are out of
order.
Many an actress who pays a press
agent feels that she couldn't afford
husband.
A girl with broken heart suffers
almost as much as man with boil
on his neck.
1t takes pretty big navy for a
nation to demonstrate that it can pad
die its own canoe.
A girl shouldn't marry man sill
she knows all about him-and then
she wouldn't want to.

When any person remarks about the

tell them that we attribute his gain
in strength and general health to the
free use of Postum and this has led
many friends to use it for themselves
and children.

The great improvement of recent

because of the fact that this flower
has been cultivated for about 100
years. There are about 40 species,

Back To The Old Home.

=. P. AyreS, of Great Bend, is
now returning from a trip back
to Mclean county, ILL.,, his former
home, where he spent a month
very pleasantly visiting with old
neighbOrS and friends. 1t had
been 16 years since Mr.. Ayres
had been back to his former home
and he found many changes. "In
looking around over my old
neighbOrhOOd, said Mr.. Ayres,
81 found changes on every hand.
The last time | Was there on ev-
cry farm could be found pastures
and some cattle. Now there are
no pastures and no cattle. This
must account for the fact that
all Illinois farmers go on the big
markets now to buy their stock
erS and feeders. They have quit
raising hay to a great extent al
so. Many farmers are now buy
ing their hay, something which
seemed very strange to me. And
when it comes to farming they
ha"s settled down to two crops.
corn and oats, and that is about
all they attempt to raise. Hi
nOlS, and especially thatpart of
the state, produces great crops of
corn. SO when the farmer comes
along to the end of the season,
he figures out how many cattle
he can feed, and he then comes
10 Kansas City and buys them.
When | looked those farms over
and compared them with our
farms out in Kansas, | made up
my mind that the Kansas farmer
had an advantage over the Hi
nOiS land owner. We raise a far
greater variety of crops and also
much more forage feed. This is
an advantage to the farmer. The
farms in Mclean county are held
at 1925 an acre and upwards and
farms in Barton county, where
| live range around $65 to $100
per acre, according to improve
mentS and distance from a rail
road. Now the Illinois farmer
must produce just a little more
than twice as much to the acre
Of crops or other products as our
land owners in order to even up
with us. But he cannot do that,
so of course it is a very easy mat
ter to figure out who is ahead" :"
