The BOY With A PATCH
The Patch On The Lads Trousers Is Labor OF
Love For Every Mother.

The editor of a Missouri weekly
tells of an incident which prompted
him to write touching bit of truth
as follows:
I'VE met a little fellow the other
day about eight years old who want
ed to sell us a magazine, and as he
turned away we noticed a nice, neat
patch on his clothes right where
patches usually are on boys clothes.
We called him back and bought the
paper-because of the patch.
Whenever we see a patch like
that we let our imagination 60, and
can picture a woman-a neat
woman, with rather tired, but
happy look, and she is sitting by a
work table putting a patch on her
little boys pants. She seems to
take great pride in the work and as
she comes to the end of the round
seam, she goes slower, as if she
wished to prolone the excuse to
handle the garment. Then after
biting off the thread she holds them
up at arms length with a look
which only that kind of a woman
ever has, and siehing lays them
over a chair at the little bed, and
bending over the little sleeper she
shakes her head and says: DO you
know you are a lot of trouble, you
little scamp? God bless my little
boy-God bless him. If there is
an answer to prayer, and there sure
ly is, God must bless the little boy
with the patch-and doubly bless
the little mother who put it on"

ANNUAL MEETING
Of AMERICAN
PL0WMEN
National Farmers Union Renders Un-
selfish Service to Agriculture.
BY Peter Radford.

The National Farmers Union will
hold its annual convention in Lincoln
Nebraska, on September seventh, and
will round out the eleventh year of
its activities in the interest of the
American plowman. When that con-
vention is called to order every farm
er in America should pause and bow
his head in honor of the men gath
cred there to render a patriotic and
unselfish service to agriculture. That
organization, born in the cotton fields
of Texas, has grown until geograph-
ically it covers almost the whole Of
the United States and economically
it deals with every question in which
the welfare of the men who bare
their backs to the summer sun are
involved. It has battled for better
marketing system, rural credits, cheap
money, diversification, scientific pro-
duction, agricultural legislation and
has carried on its work of education
and cooperation in season and out.
The Farmers Educational and Co.
operative Union Of America brings
the question of organization squarely
before every farmer in this nation.
Without organization the farmers can
neither help themselves nor be helped
by others and through organization
and systematic effort all things are
possible.
The farmers Of the United States
contribute more and get less from
government than any other class of
business. They have better securities
and pay a higher rate of interest
than any other line of industry. They
market more products and have less
to say in fixing the price than any
other business and they get more
political buncombe and less construc-
tive legislation than any other class
Of people. The farmers can only ac-
quire such influence in business, in
government and In economics as will
enable them to share equitably the
fruits Of their labor through organiza-
tion and every farmer on American
soil who desires to help himself and
his fellow plowmen should rally
around the Union.

something to eat, and sent one OF
the children out after eggs. AT
this time the sheriff was at the
barn feeding the horses, and Sam
was in the kitchen with his sister.
When the children returned they
reported having found only two
eggs at the barn, and Sam told the
story the two men had agreed upon
The wife said she would just cook
the two eggs, because she had al
ready bought some turkey eggs and
wouldn't need the two the men had
found. Sam didn't say word, but
decided right then and there that
he wouldn't eat an egg that day.
When dinner was announced the
sheriff and Sam went to the table,
and when the former passed Sam
the eggs, Sam refused, complaining
that he didn't feel right we'll and
couldn't eat an egg. The sheriff
declared he was sorry Sam was
feeling badly, but that it ought to
suit him very well, because the
cook had cooked just the number
of eggs he wanted for himself.
Soon the sheriff had eaten all the
eggs. Sam had kept looking first
at his brother-in-law and then at
his sister and had such smile on
his face that his sister finally asked
what amused him so much. Sam
said that he was just thinking
about turkey eggs. The sheriff
grew excited at once and asked his
wife if she had cooked the two tur-
key eggs he brought home. The
wife said that she had, and explain
ed that she didn't need them, hav-
ing bought some turkey eggs. The
sheriff saw that he was in for it,
so he hastily rose to his feet and
made for the back door. Just then
eruption set up in his stomach,
and the buzzard eggs soon came to
light again. Needless to say, it was
a long time before the sheriff could
again eat eggs.
The joke was too good, and Sam
had to tell it. was well acquaint-
ed with both Sam and the sheriff.

RECOLLECTIONS OF
ANTI-BELLUM DAYS
Lawrence County Sheriff Ate
Buzzard Eggs, But Didn't
Hold Them Down.

Before the civil war this part OF
Sharp county was the western part
of Lawrence county. In the early
part of the fifties high sheriff OF
Lawrence county lived on farm
east of Black river in what was
then called the "swamps." He was
jolly, good fellow, and had a
pleasant word for everyone ne met.
He had a bachelor brother-in-laW
named Sam-his wife's brother.
Sam owned a valuable farm,
which was occupied by tenants,
and having no family of his own,
he stayed with the sheriff and his
family a good part of the time.
In the spring of the year the
good wife of the sheriff told him
that she wanted a sitting of turkey
eggs and asked him to be on the
lookout in his rounds over the
county and buy the eggs for her.
The sheriff readily promised to
comply with the request, but like a
good many other men his promises
we're like pie crust, and he neglect
ed to get the eggs. Every time he
went away from home on business
and returned the wife would ask
about the eggs, and the husband
would make one excuse and an
other, and then renew his promises.
Finally the good woman had a
chance to buy the eggs herself, but
for some reason she failed to tell
the sheriff about having made the
purchase. About this time the
sheriff had some official business
away from home, and asked Sam
to ride with him, and Sam, having
nothing else to do, readily consent
ed to do so. The sheriff told his
wife that they might not get back
in time for dinner, and requested
that she not wait the meal for
them.
During their ride the sheriff and
his companion found turkey buz-
zard nest, which contained a couple
of eggs. The former told Sam that
there was their chance to have
some fun and a good laugh on the
wife, SO they made the thing up to
take the two buzzard eggs home
and tell her they had found tur-
keys nest with two eggs in it, and
that, as eggs were so scarce, she
could set them and Get a start of
turkeys on the farm, The two men
had great laugh in advance about
what the old lady would say and
do when the eggs hatched and she
beheld two little buzzards instead
of two little turkeys,
The sheriff and Sam returned
home about 2 o'clock in the after
noon, without having had their
dinners. The good wife hurried off
to the kitchen to prepare the men

comedy it carries a strong story of
