The Happy Farmer


The shades Of night were falling fast
When up the fence row blithcly passed.
Through crcosotc and Paris green,
These grim trospassers ON tho scene:
One army worm
one chinch bug,
One Hessian ny,
One cut worm.
Advancing each before it's kind,
They gave the vigGle-was behind
And answering with buzz aud whizz
Their trusty troops invaded VIZ:
one wEeatfclI
One field Of oats,
One cornheld.
one potato patch,
The farmer slumber-d in his bod
While pleasant fencies roamcd his head,
And dreamed Of getting after bit
4 few farm luxures, 10 wit:
One automobile,
one lighting plant,
One trector,
one silo.
But where The setting sun had shone
OF opuoncc remained bone,
Clean-picked as frost denudes the trees,
And what the farmer had were these:
One sale
one trip 10 a new farming country.
One trip back again,
One start all over

A Pulling Story
The Texan pulled the dentists bell,
The dentist pulled him in,
The Texan pulled his jaws apart,
And bade the Doc begin.
The dentist pulled his forceps from
His case TO pull the tooth,
And then he pulled the wrong one out;
He was a careless youth.
The Texan pulled himself upon
His feet and pulled gun;
An officer then pulled them both
His name was Sergeant Dunn.
Dunn pulled tip from each and DER
Tile judges eyes pulled wool;
They both pulled out without fine,
For Dunn possessed n pull.

II II is true, as our business philosophers tell
us, that those who never do more than they
get paid for, never get paid for more than they
do then 1t is quite clear that If you want to
get paid for more than you do. you must do
more than you get paid for Even a philoso-

by the supreme court in upholding the
power of the interstate commerce
commission to strike down state rates
that discriminate against interstate
commerce.
The court said, in substance, that
the Minnesota and other recent state

for relief instead of to the courts.
The decision was announced by JUS

In Shreveport case supreme court
rules congress is final authority and
interstate commerce commission is it's
instrument. Where orders of state

SUGAR MARKET FACTS.

Supply and Demand Play Great Par
In Making the Price.
In the minds of many people there
seems to be the impression that 9Th,
trust advances the price of sugar dur
ing the summer season when sugar II
used in large quantities for preserv
ing fruit. This advance during the
heavy consuming season is only the
enforcement Of the law of supply and
deman nd. The bulk of the sugar crops
of the world are harvested during the
fall, winter and early spring months
The supply for the United States
come principally from the Island OF
Cuba, Porto RIGA and Hawaiian Is
lands. Harvest in Cuba does not be-
gin until December and there is NO
quantity of sugar arriving in this
country until January. The sugars
produced in Louisiana and Texas are
comparatively small amount and are
harvested in October and November.
The domestic supply of beet sugar is
also harvested in the fall months. The
supply Of Louisiana and Texas sugars
and the domestic beet sugar are usu-
ally not enough to materially influ-
ence the market, but by the time the
sugars from the Hawaiian Islands.
Porto RIGA and Cuba begin arriving
In large quantities, about February,
the market declines; 1t usually rules
at the lowest point from February to
April By April the sugar harvest is
practically completed and the avail.
able supply Of sugar for the world is
determined almost exactly. II the
worlds supply is large prices remain
low, but II, on the other hand, the crop
outturns have not materialized to the
extent Of the early estimates there ia

ne natural result Of shortage of SUD-
plies when the demand is the great.
,st. The price of refined sugar in.
'ariably fluctuates with the price Of
'aw sugar; the margin Of difference
'etween the price of raw and refined
'ugar does not vary to any great ex.
ent, as the cost Of refining is about
ne same In all sugar reflneries in the
United States. Competition will not
'ermit getting more than a fair prof,t
yer and above the cost of refining.
There is no sugar refinery or group
I refineries in the United States large
nough to control the supply Of raw
ugar. The sugar market is therefore
etermined by the quantity available
nd the demand for It.
