The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops

and cuts down costs by investment IN
abor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers crops en-
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads-the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the worlds markets.
The railroads-like the farms-increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities

THE CRY OF THE CRIPPLE.

I've heard them tell of the Golden
Stair"
And the wonderful shining wings
Of the Place where all of the folks
are glad
And never need earthly things.
But I'm asking for something to-
day;
| want it now, not then;
I'm a cripple! Crawl on the earth like
a worm!
Let me rise and walk with the men!
| do not ask for the ships of the air,
Nor the car on its rushing wheels,
But | wish for once that the folks who
Could know how a cripple feels!
There's them might get me the things
| want,
That feet that's bought and sold;
But what can a poor little cripple dc
Who's never had silver nor gold?
There's a heap of money the rich fling
away,
Never thinking, on selfish joys
'Twould build such a beautiful Miracle
House,
For the crippled girls and boys!
And some they'd cure and all they't
help,
! And with the Dear Christ they'd say
"Arise and walk!" to the %grovelins
grub,
Such as I am today!
The wings?-all right for the Gold
en- Streets,
But help me now; who can;
Today Pm begging for just the chanc
To rise and walk like a man!
