Dscl<inson Farmer Then Tried to Get
n Suit Of Cl0thes

4 A group OF farmers near Elmo
gathered a carload Of sheep last
week and shipped them to Kansas
City. One farmer put in seven sheep.
When he received his returns he
had check for $22.14. Then he
figured that as the wool from one
sheep makes more than a suit Of
clothes he might use the money to
get a winter suit. But on visiting
the clothing stores he found that the
cheapest suit that was really wear
able cost $45, or the price Of four
teen sheep, and the retail dealer had
only a small profit. He could get two
pair Of shoes with the money or he
might get a cheap coat for his little
girl. And he is wondering why the
manufacturers expect only the farm
er to get of the high price wagon.

The canvassers for subscriptions
to the new hospital are receiving ex-
cellent results in the townships.
After Abilene had subscribed $50, 900
the remainder Of the county has been
asked to match 1t and make the
structure a credit 10 the county.

the price Of wheat which makes the
producer feel poorer than he felt a
few weeks ago.
Partial canvasses have been made
in these townships with the amounts
stated subscribed: Flora $500, Ban
ner $1,000; Garfield $500; Noble
$4OO; liberty $4,000. Complete can
vass Of Buckeye gave $4,000. a fine
