A Chivalric knight
of the Farm

Any humorous publication looking
for an editor or contributor should
enter into immediate and confidential
relation with Robert L. Mosby. of
Pleasant Plains.
Mr.. Mosby confides, with much real
seriousness, to a sympathetic public
that he is an enthusiast on agricul-
ture a. q profession. His reasons are
enlightening.
With his naturally uncomfortable
and dauntless spirit Mr. Mosby went
to the farm. ANY farmer with 81 900
or even $500 can succeed" says Mr..
Mosby. Il had $500. but l was pos
sessed OF good. strong wife, who did
all Of the heavy work, such az plow-
ing. planting. splitting wood, etc. A
wife," says Mr.. Mosby In q fine burst
OF enthusiasm, "a wife is an absolute
necessity on the farm. My three
years experience has resulted In
this: have perfect health, $1,000 In
bank, two bouncing boys. and peace
OF mind"
And then, with an innate chival1y
that does credit to his thrifty head
and his knightly heart. Mr. Robert l..
Mosby concludes: Il am Southerner
by birth, and therefore naturally
ambitious"
What paragon Of domestic. felicity
this accomplished farmer Of Pleasant
Plains!
And how proud of him Mrs. Robert
L. Mosby must be.--New York Ameri
