MUCH NEED OF MONEY

Mr.. c. b. Ellis OF Woodruff, Wis.

Farmer as follows:

that farmers are obliged to sell
their crops direct from the mach

the rent falls due in early fall. Ma
chinery, wire and lumber usually
are sold on 80 days time without

All of which is no doubt true and

are compelled to run the risk of fail.

local banks are carrying farm loans

THEY HAVE NOT SET
THE DATE


When they are going to end a fellow

When a fellow has to walk the

When a nation has to strike a blow
that seals a nations fate.
They always let the worst be known
for they always set the date.
Yes, they always set the date, though
It may be soon or late;
No matter what the case may be,
they always set the date.
Not SO with Democratic ''sharps"

Although distress is swift and sure
for city and for town,
Although the economic crime brings
ruin in each state.
We do not know when it will come,
for they haven't set the date.
No; they haven't set the date, though
it's coming sure as fate;
Well get the blow quite soon, we
know, but they haven't set the
date.
Projections foes are marshalled
strong to do their very worst;
Protection for prosperity is certain
soon to burst;
Protection for the man who works,
for those who pay the freight.

No; they haven't set the date for our
impending fate;
This act of mercy they refuse, for
