HAD MATTERS OF IMPORTANCE
Miss FannIe's Visit to tho City Full

suppose. Miss Fannie" said Mrs.
Harris to her newly arrived guest
from the country, that you have a
good many errands to do here in the
city? Some shopping. perhapsT
We'll, I'd like to look round the
stores some, and see II things are
much handsomer than the things we
nave at the Waybridge stores, but 1
don't know as I'll do much buying.
I've always traded in Waybridge, and
guess l always Will. But I've got
some errands that I'm quite set on
doing. For one thing, | want to visit
the art institute, and look at . the
venus with the broken arm and the
Vlctory without head that the lady
VINO stayed at my house last summer
talked about, when sne gave what she
called an art evening in the town hall
IL didn't seem to me that those
mutflated images would be worth look
ing at. but she said they were wonder
ful, 80 | just want to see for myself
And then I'm planning to go to the
public library and get out the maya
zine with the end OF a story | never
ing with me good many summers
ago left quite a lot OF that story in
some magazines. and I've always been
wishing to find out what became or
the poor misguided girl in it.
And Is that the extent OF your busi
ness In town." smilinGly inquired Mrs
Harris.
There's one more thing Id like to
do, and that Is to go to the place
where father bought my sewing-ma-
chine. He gave 1t to me the day
was eighteen. | want to tell the head
man there that | never was able to
use the tucker attachment. II used
to just about vex the life out OF me
or course | wouldn't use 1t now, even
If it did work, for | haven't done any
fancy sewing for more than fifteen
years. but think the manager OF that
machine company ought to know that
that tucker was dreadruIIy unsatisrac-

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 10, 1911. He
was a great grandson OF Elijah Glenn
ents the first, and thought much of his
Clements relatives and they of him. He
always liked to come east to the land of
his birth, and as the years went by, the
more he seemed to long for the early
associations here where he was born ard
where his youth was spent. Although
he went west when young man and
grew up with the thriving city of his
adoption, he always held warm spot
in his breast for his early friends and
many of the homes in this vicinity still
treasure letters he has written to rela-
tives and friends in his fine and beautiful
penmanship. A noble man was Allen
Libby and was always gladly welcomed
here. Two years ago he was here at
the reunion and said he hoped to come
again, but fate willed otherwise.

With a CHEEKY smile and wave of the hand
He has wandered into an unknown land,
And left US dreaming how very fair

In 1880, before the protective tariff
began to 'strangle" US, there were 49,
OBS people in all America who had de-
posits in savings banks-a very small
proportion to the popula tion-and the
amount OF money that they had in the
banks was Sc, 1913, 304. In 1911 the num-
Der of depositors had risen to 9, 597, 1856,
and their deposits had swelled to the
tremendous sum of 81, PIP, 583, 500.
Oh, we have been terribly choked and
restricted by protection! And no class
has really benefited more by the tariff
than the farmers. to whom Governor
Wilson was talking, and whom he was
trying to persuade to "break down the
DAM" In 1850, the farms and farm
property of the United States were
valued at $3,967, 343, $50. In 1910 that
property had advanced in value to $40

ascertained under the census of 1870.
when their gold value was 81, 958. O3O. 927.
In 1910 their gold value had arisen to

ures-the relation of the value of farm
products to the value of the farms them

er has got his share of the protective
tariff!
If this represents choking and holding
back. Professor Wilson, the people Of
the United States, including the farmer,
are willing to be choked some more. Nor
will they, we warn you, vote for any
presidential candidate who announces his
intention to ''break down" the instru-
