A Sign of the Times.

Whitney Montgomery
Who gives the world it's meat and
bread
The farmer,
Who clothes it, too, from foot to
head
The farmer;
Who takes the other fellows price
For what he sells and what he buys,
And gets lots of fool advice
The farmer.
Who has the longest working day
The farmer,
Who draws the smallest pay
The farmer;
Who hears lot of Tommy-rot
About his independent lot,
And gets at every turn swat
The farmer.
Who gets discouraged by and by
The farmer,
And heaves a long, pathetic sigh
The farmer;
Then throws his hoe and shovel down
And cries, "I'll just be Johnny Brown
If l don't quit and move to town"
The farmer.

In the last few years we have learn
ed great deal about the peril from
germs. dust and dirt and we have
therefore been educated TO a new con
ception of cleanliness.
Doctors, scientists and sanitary cX
perts have been teaching the great
American public that many dseaseo
arise from germs and that these
posky little creatures live. breed and
thrive in dirt and even in the dust
that blows about us and penetrates
thru the house.
Germs are so tiny that they can
only be detected by the highest pow
cred microscopes. A speCk OF dust
that can not be seen may be harbOr-

Such germs. were they to be taken
into the body thru the nose mouth or
hlood, might cause any one Of a great
variety Of troubles from common colds
TO moro serious diseases such as in.
tluenza, pneumonia and consumption.
The point to remember is that no

the attitude of the farmers of his &C

MY opinion is,' he told The Jour
nal correspondent, chat the farmers
would like to have an end of politics
in the national government; that they
would like to have a good, conserya-
tive business administration, elimi-
mating waste and extravaganza, han
ding the taxes in a better way than
they are being handled at present;
that their viewpoint, in other words,
is essentially no different from the
viewpoint Of the merchant or the
banker or the lawyer. OF course we
hear it said by some who profess to
speak for the farmers that they are
against Hoover, but have not found
them that way"

Said J. H. Watson, superintendent

lowed to vote as they please? My I'M

Farmers for Him
These above-quoted expressions are
typical of the prevailing sentiment
in this city, and the men whose
names are given here expressed the
further opinion that Hoover is sup
ported as strongly among the farm
ers as among the business men. AS
S. H. Hall remarked in this connec-
ton:
"The farmer has as much interest
in a business administration as the
merchant or the banker. He is en-
tirely capable of thinking for him
self. Those I have talked to are
tired of politics and want a business
man like Hoover to head the govern
ment."

been conducting an aggressive fight
in behalf of the Hoover supporters
who demand the right of free eX-
preston in the primary.
