REASON FOR ABANDONING THE
FARM.

The true explanation of the abandon
ed farm" says Walter Prichard Eaton
writing Of the deserted homesteads of
New England in "1he Abandoned Farm, ;"
in the August American Magazine, lies
not so much In the native quality Of the
farmers-or their supposed lacy of quail

cannot exist surrounded ny civilization.
Civilization opens "a P-ndora's box of de-
sires and ambitions and disContents, and

without changing It's methods, is unable
to meet. To make the farm pay under tho

THE MONEY CRITTERS,

The story has been often told Of how a

without compunction slaughtered men
when he was shy Of cash.
He'd set the axmeu onto them, and
when the AK had gone TO them
He'd quickly pick their pockets and
avoid financial crash,
They tell n different tale to-day: the
trusts have got better way
And so they dodge the peoples wratr.
by using grace and tact;
They do not take the poor folks breath
they simply staive poor folks to
death:
And when they lower prices they are
lauded for the act.
And then you take the mlddlenan Che

The poor consumer Is the guy who pays
for all the tunes.
The middleman knows how we stand: he
knows there's money in tho land,
And SO he doubles on his tracks and
holds us up for pruneS
The retail merchant is no slouch; you
never see him have a Crouch;
He's laying for the workinsman. who's
much too poor to squeal
lie makes his hay while markings good,
he takes our coin while taking's

While folks like US are wondering
who'll pay for out next meal.
