JIMMY G.
Dear Dad:

1Sti b&u.
You ought to see the auto Bill
and us fellows are making. You
see, dad, there always are so many
fellows that want to go riding in
the pony-cart with Bill and me that
we didn't know what to do until
this morning when we saw an auto
mobile with trailer on behind, and
that gave Bill an idea, so he said
fellows lets make an auto and then
we can tie 1t on behind the cart
and take turns riding in 1t, so we
said all right and began getting
things ready right away.
You know Harold Jones has a
little sister. well they had one of
those black go carts for her, but it
had got run over and had one
wheel smashed, but the rest OF 1t
was about all right. so they let
Harold and us have it. 1t has a
seat and three good wheels, and
one of those black tops that raises
up and lays back, and we planned
out how to use it fine.
1t was little hard to knock the
old cart to peces, but we did finally,
and then we got a long board that
was real thick, and we got another
wheel just to match--well, it was
O little bigger, but we put it on the
hind end and it doesn't show hard
~ at all-and then dad, we made
the auto.
We found a wash boiler over on
the commons that wasn't very high,
and when we had one end knocked
out and the sides sloping down. it
made a real good hood for the en-
CINE part. So we nailed it on the
front, and then we put the seat on
next for the front seat, and on the
back we put the folding top, and 1t
didn't need any seat under it then,
because you see dad, when the top
was up you couldn't see whether
we had one or not.
Tom Harlow said they had been
fixing up their kitchen, and had
some blue paint left so he got it,
and dad, it sure did make the auto
look distinguished. At first we
were only going to paint the radea-
ter and the wheels, but l guess
got few spots on the top, so we
painted it too, and then the rest
looked little bear so we just did
it all over.
| guess it will get dry tonight all
right so were going to take her

SEEDS AND FLOWERS

o66OS VtNC ~
A gentle word, dropped here and
there,
Is very like little seed
That grows into flower fair,
For those who troubled hearts
may bleed.
A gentle. thoughtful little word.
May slip into some heart and
bring
The help that heals, and like bird
That aching heart may learn to
sing.
Oh. what garden life might be
If every day such seeds were
sown!
And oh, the happiness when we
Could claim the flower as our own.

out the first thing tomorrow, and
I'll tell you all about it.
Jimmie G..
p. S. Dad, was just thinking,
If you hear of them being short of
people to paint the guns and things
over there to hide them in that
camfouwage bisness, just tell them
about Bill and me, because we
could do it all right, dad, nobody
ever would know that engin on our
auto ever was a wash boiler, ask
Mr.. Harlow. Jim.

For we're on the inside and he is

He's rushing around in the sleet

So fill up the pepper,
'Tis both right and proper.

Music's Power

(From a Comic Almanack, printed
in 1880
Music hath power DER all the
world
BY the old any young it's priced.
IT'S loved by the great, it's loved by
the small,
And by the middle sized.
Music hath power DER the warrior
stern,
In days of repose or of strife.
In battle the bag-pipe is passing
sweet,
In peace, the drum and fife.
Music hath power DER lady fair,
When stars through heaven are
straying;
And under her window her own
true love
On the hurdy-gurdy's playing.
Music hath power in age to recall
Sweet thoughts of youth and
home.
Oh! how my heart-strings crack to
hear
A boy blow through a comb!
Music hath power at morn's bright
hour
When the lark to heavens gate
climbs;
And at midnight how sweet to hear
King Cole"
Played on the parish chimes.
Yes: music hath power DER the
wide, wide world,
A power that's deep and endear-
ing,
But music hath no power over me-
For I'm very hard Of hearing.

life and for health. She was taken to

She was devoted to her children and
they were to her, and when the final
summons came they We're at her bed

A CANNED EDITORIAL

k1OW AND THEN the news sources supp.
Y what we may call "canned editorials,
meaning such matter as is ready to serve
editorial without much if any alteration. On
such canned production came along Friday a
;ernoon on the Associated Press wire, and W
present it here
Washington, Aug 22.-"People ought
to be satisfied with present food prices;
there isn't any profiteering in the retail
meat and grocery business, and consumers
want to pay high prices" Thomas Dunn,
st. Louis meat dealer, told the senate
agriculture committee today at the hear
ing on legislation to control the packing
industry
"Retalars are hard-working people,
eating themselves what other people won't
USE" Dunn said. "There isn't a retail
food profteer in the country. Everybody
knows about food prices. Your wives and
daughters can't be fooled into paying
more"
"Well do you think they are satisfied
with present food prices?" asked Senator
Kenyon, republican, Iowa.
"It they are not they ought to be,
Dunn told him. "The trouble is they want
to pay more They tell me they get finer
cuts of meat by paying five cents more
pound at certain shops. | can show you
places where things like canned goods
vary several cents can in st. Louis and
you find that the man who charges the
most sells the most"
"They rather like high prices, them"
Senator Kenyon continued.
"They do. The working people are the
worst offenders. They absolutely won't
have anything but the finest and best"
We wonder if there isn't considerable
modicum of solid fact in what Mr. Thoma!
Dunn of St Louis told the committee. While OF
course we do not admit that there is no profit
aering in the retail meat and grocery trade, i
is undeniable that some persons insist upon hit
ting only the high spots in purchasing goods
and really enjoy paying high prices. This, OF
course, does not apply to all consumers-not
by a long shot.
We refrain from further comment, pre-
senting Mr.. Dunn's canned editorial and let
ing the reader devour and digest it in his own
way.
