all the main shelves are packed
with snowy canned goods, and
the dry goods and hardware oc-
cupy a little niche or a corner at
one side.
The country is strewn with
empty tin cans. The farmer
takes his milk to the creamery
and comes back with canned
corn, peas, tomatoes, peaches
and dried fruit. What his father
and mother used to produce up
on the farm, the son now buys
at the grocery.
And yet we marvel at the high
cost of living, and talk about leg
islation to correct the evil. AS
we'll legislate against the
weather.
Let us by legislation put an
end to these droughts and floods
and cold, late springs!
Do not try to teach the farmer
how to grow bigger crops; he
grows more now than he can get
a fair price for. Scores of bush
els of good apples rotted on the
ground in my orchards this fall
because it would not have paid
to send them TO market. But
help the farmer to reach the con-
sumer more directly, simplify
and unity the system of distribu-
ton; cut out most of the middle
men. and limit the number of
grocery stores in every city ard
village, and let the people come
back to something like the old
thrift and economy. John Bur-
roughs, in the New York Times.

ten months ago which left him
in weakened condition and
from the effect of which he never
recovered. He was nearly 68
years old and was born and
raised within a mile of where, he
died.
1t is no eXageration to say that
Powell Ferguson was one of
Morgan county's very best citi-
zens. His life was a practical
exemplifcation of the brother
hood Of man. A fitting tribute
to his memory might be thus eX-
pressed: "A devoted husband,
an indulgent father, a good
neighbor and a true friend" "
His wife, who was a daughter.
of the late Ned" Williams, died
more than twenty years, leaving
him with a family Of six child
ren, the oldest of which was
only IL years of age when her
mother died. He never re-
but reared a family of
children of whom any man might
be proud.
He had a unique distinction.
He, his four sons, son-in-law and
two half brothers were all men,
bers, in good standing, of Elk
Fork lodge No. A. F. & A. M.
1t is doubtful if the record can
be equalled in the State.
He is survived by two daugh-
ters, Mrs. Nola Ferguson and
Mrs. Willie Williams, both of
Elamton; four sons, j. E. of Len
OK, o. B., Sanford and Ebert, Of
Elamtcn; one sister, Mrs. James
Wright; one half sister, Mrs. W.

ton, Isaac c., Of West Liberty,

The body was laid to rest with
Masonic honors Sunday the IL

the hill overlooking the old home
stead where he first saw the
light.
