THE President has suddenly discovered that
Big Business is not so bad. Big business

treachery that has been roundly denounced, and
he, himself, was the greatest beneficiary of that
treachery.

looks on the bright side OF life. In
speaking of the continuous rains he
had this TO say: IT takes rain to
make feed crop and this is some
thing old Ellis county has not made
in some four or five years. This
year you may expect one of the big
gest feed crops IN the history Of FL

promised now. For the past few
years Ellis county farmers have been
sending thousands If dollars out of
the county to other states for corn,
hay etc This year they viii have
feed for sale instead OF having to
buy it There is plenty of time to
make a cotton crop and with a few
