To do the specially requisite deed.
And the hearts OF the people his'n.
Horatius stood pat at the gateway Of Rome,
Attired in broadswOrd and buskins
And saved all the folks in his transporting home
From army Of footing Etruscans
When the red-coats assembled intent attack

Paul Revere threw himself gallant nag's back.
And gave all the countryside warning.
And David, small bodied but great his wrath,
Pulled his sling giant and downed him,
And when the crowd twas Goliath of Gath
They took little David and crowned him.
And anyone now who is thirsting for fame,
Who longs 10 loom up like a steepe,
Get his face in the movies and hear his
Resound in the cheers of the people,
These days when the mercury creeps like mole
Still farther and farther past
Need only provide freezing Gotham with coal
And at once he'll be hailed a hero!

THE PAN-GERNIAN PARTY.

(The Pan-German league was
esta blished' in 1890 as a result
of the dissatisfaction over the
Zanzibar negotiations with Eng
land by which Germany gained
HelgOland in return for certain
concessions in East Africa, and
in response to an editorial in
the Kolnische Zeitung entitled
Germany, wake up" The or
ganization was soon united with
a group which DR.. Carl Peters
had established in 1886 for the
furtherance of German oversee
interests. The first congress was
held in 1891, and in 1894 the
Audeutsche Batter was estab-
lished as the organ of the
league.)

PRICES JUMP IN rs YEARS
Wisconsin Farmer Makes Interesting
Comparison Between Prices In
1892 and Now.

Portage, WISE. r. Studenmayer,
~ho has been engaged in farming in
this locality for the past quarter Of a
century, has made a comparison be-
tween prices prevalent in 1892 and
those Of 1918. Here's what he found:
Hogs in 1892 were $3.50, now $16;
cattle $3.50, now SO; rye 40 cents, now
$1.S5; wheat As cents, now 1920; po-
tatoes 10 cents, now 81; butter Is
cents, now so cents; eggs 8 cents, now
II cents; cord wood $3.50, now $3.50;
bran SIS, now $40; hay s.. now $40.
and oats 10 cents, now Is cents. The
farmer says these are only few Of
the changes, and while agriculturists
are obtaining decidedly better prices
than Is years ago, they are compelled
to pay more for what they buy.
