ever be in hoping distance. When
We get that. We are just then be-

II seems Just now that We have
about reached the latter STAGE. ana
have got To where our wants are go
ins 10 hurt us unless we curb them
Coal miners used TO work a whole
week for little more than they now
get Tor one day. they We're less dis
eontentei then than they are now.
Carpenters Ised to work whole
day Tor Just little more than tnet
now get for one hour. They thought
they were getting along very we'll
then. Now they think they should
have better wages than they ate get
f ting.
Farmers used TO get little more
f than half as much for bale Of cot

TO crafty said wants. The more we
get the more We want and the more
we want the less pleased we are with
what We get.
When cotton is worth nine cents,
we want ten cents. When II gets
to ten cents We believe II Will bring

and on high tension We walt LOT
