Poem Letter.to My soldier Boys.

My Dear Boys
| thought I'd write to you this letter,
TO tell you what we're doing.
The world is turning upside down,
And war and strife is brewing.
Fathers at the butcher shop
Cutting roasts and steaks and chop.
The children's gone to school today,
Chester, little George and May.
I'm at home peeHngypeaches;
Soon I'll have to wash the dishes. ..-
The frost has killed oIr garden stuF,
But then ] think We'll have enough;
I'VE canned tomatoes, JOY or joys,
Enough for all my blessed boys.
And then pumpkins, squashes too,
For pies, for every one OF you.
| think they'd last about year,
If YOU would all come home my aears.
And Ira bought some pears for me
TO can in syrup. So you see
The eating will be good at home,
Whenever you see fit to come.
You boys in camp must not forget,
At home you have mother,
Who loves you mOre-and better far,
Than can any other.
Riddles, I'd just love to hear from
you;
Won't YOU write line or two;
I'm SO glad to read your letters,
1t just fills my heart with JOY.
So good bye, with love from Mother,
To my darling Soldier Boys.

sons .in the army.

a Farmer Replies.

Editor Reporter thought pos
sibly you would like to hear a farm
er,s reason for doing as Mr.. Pryor
says he does in his talk on "Th1
Mistakes We Are Making" and being
a true Yankee 4 will answer some Of
his questions with others.
Why do merchants send all their
money away when they ratght return
a great deal to the farmer? Why arr
we compelled to pay $1.SD a bushet
for Shipped-in potatoes at. stores
when farmers must sell theirs for
SIPS? Why'must we pay $40 or s. )
for an uD-tO-date suit and then have
the same suits put. on sale in few
months for So or $40? 1t is easy to
prices or be out or style SO we send
where we can get 81 values for 81
Why must all our onions, cabbage,
apples, potatoes, small fruits and all
such, rot while our merchants po-
litely tell us they can't use them?
Why-because their stores are full
of shipped-in goods.
Maybe they do pay big taxes, but
for one would just as soon pay more
taxes and less grocery or dry goods
bills, and maybe if they handle all
our surplus stuff we wouldn't have
to ask them for that much talked OF
credit. Who can tell?
And the things they do use such
as eggs, cream, etc.,-why are we
compelled to accept one and two
cents less per pound or dozen the
year round than we can get jpn any
town large or small anywhere near
Leon. I'm sure some of them pay
big rent, taxes and road bills. How
can Van Vert, Osceola, Garden Grove
and dozen other towns near pay
two cents more per pound for poultry
as I know they do the year round,
then ship it to the Leon plant? Why?
Answer these questions and a great
many more the knockers" Of this
section might ask and maybe you'll
find why we send so much money
away.
Let's hear from others.
