the worst drought season In our
history. Our agriculturists use the

using all the butter, eggs and poultry
they needed, they sold s22,000.OOO
worth OF butter, eggs and poultry last
year Just a little revenue OF $1,000

but we hope to do a little better next
year. for our farmers are now stand
Ing around waiting for the mayor and
county commissioners TO sign mu-
nicipal Improvement bonds, and bonds
issued for the building Of permanent
highways that they are endeavoring
To buy az about ten per cent above
par. A great many OF our farmers are
complaining because they can't pay
on their mortgage until II becomes
due. though they have decreased their
recorded Indebtedness from IS per
cent to Is per cent In the past 10
years Al the same time they have
boosted the home-owned securities

note that haven't admitted they are

The bulk OF your trade is in that
class of goods, isn't it?" queried Mr..
Clyde.
Worse luck, it is. They've got us
through their hold on the public.
And they not only force us to be
their agents. but they grind us down
to the very smallest profit; some

demand in the way Of patent medi-

Then there is a legitimate de-
mand for patent medicines said
Mr.. Clyde quickly.
Legitimate? Hardly. It's pure
