Our hearts are sad to think that
he has lett us here on earth forever.
but rejoice to know that in Heaven

Ii we live to be as old as grand

years that have been spent in this
old world of folly and say they we're
well spent? If so we can rest as
sured that we can meet our dear
ones in that happy place where sor-
row is unknown and peace and jov
reigns forever.

Good prices for the farmers crops en-

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 4

Rates high enough to yield fair return
will insure railroad growth. and prevent
