Letter from Manchester District.

One day last week we passed some
farm buildings and saw a busy scene.
A farmer was shoeing a horse and
handled the job as well as the average
blacksmith could or would do it. In
reply to my greeting, he said, 1--WE
must do the best we can" He was
saving both time and money. LIN like
many of our people mend
their own shoes. Next in order will
be to have each head of the family
dentist, surgeon and a man Of medi-
cine to cure the ills of mankind.
The last few days of last week were
the most severe in wind blowing
perfect gale since the winter of 1916
and 1917 We learn of houses blown
down and trees uprooted, but the ex-
perience I'D. ID. Thurman, our auc-
tioneer, had on Saturday, last, w&7 out
of the ordinary. He hired a machine
here in town, started about 10 a. M,
and inside of given time was near
White Hall, Baltimore county, ready
to say, Going, going, going, gone,' to
a large crowd of eager listeners and
buyers. 1t was SO windy there the
auctioneer and chauffeur both declare,
that the articles were rapidly disposed
Of, the people bidding quickly in large
sums to get out of the strong wind
that sometimes raised the people and
articles from the ground. The auc-
tioneer, however, was not much affect
ed by the wind, as he can be seen and
heard, having heavy voice coming
from $50 pounds of avoirdupois.

Would that be "a just way of making

it not be better to imprison all the
