FARMERS TO MARKET CROPS.

The farmer has complained. and

in fixing prices for commodities. La
Dor has demanded OF him certain
price that he must pay, or do with
out the labor. Machinery he could
buy only at the price the dealer
asked OF him. Clothing and food
stuf1s advanced in cost and he must
pay the cost or do without.
But when the world came to his
market they came with the price
fixed that they would pay. He had
no voice in the matter. They said,

the market, and 1t should be within
his province to name the price at

THOUGHTS ON READING ABOUT
THEM WAS THE DAYS.

Funerals. @
Old Ed Rufus has taken his last
| ride in his own hearse, and somehow
we can never feel the same toward
dying again. From the day when,
young. guileless and disobedient, we
sneaked or 70 Granduncle Geoffrey's
funeral. we've always pictured our
obsequies with Ed In charge.
r We stood IN the back OF the church
that day-we who were supposed to
be home--until Eds eye fell upon
us and mistakins us for q mourner
instead Of an insurgent, he led US up
to the pew where mother and father
sat trying to look bereaved Grand
uncle Godfrey left all his money to
the heathem and ushered us in.
IS Not even what. transpired when we
got home served to becloud the vivid
impression we got of Ed that, day.
When we became so old that we
were permitted to indulge In the
mature pastirne Of going to funerals,
Ed and his personality were stamp
ed more and moro indelibly on our
consciousness.
When Edward Rufus. "Undertaker
& Embalnier," had charge OF ! funer-
al, even the corpse had Z minor
role. S1f {s+4
And funerals in those days were
funerals! II you knew the folks we'll.
You went, OF course. 70 mourn with
them. II you didn't know them, you
went anyway to weep over the vicis-
STUDIES Of life.
Always at the door OF the church
or the house. Ed would greet you
with the face and manner OF one who
bore up brAve1y under affliction. And
the choked voice with which, at the
end Of the ceremony, he would say:
Those who wish q last look at the
remains VIII pass up tho right aisle
and down tho left" was enough to
move you to tears. whether you knew
tho remains or not.
And when the drowsy little oeme-
terry, whore the robins sang all sum-
mer thru, had lifted up it's arms for
another sleeper, Ed would climb UP
to the quarter deck of his hearse
and drive over to Bert Miller's Rail-
road House, limp and despalring and
clean tuckered out from the woeful
part he had played.
He'd stay at Bert's all day. drink
Ing himself into the briny depths Of
q crying jag. and when his last sob
had merged itself into a snore, pa
tient Ezra Doreus. his assistant, would
pick him up with Bert's help, put him
in the hearse and drive him homo.
Somehow. now that Eds zone, we'll
never look forward to our Inevitable
demise as complacently as we used
to.
According to testimony before the
senate committee. the cost Of pres
idents seems to have risen with
everything else.

SATAN AND THE REFORMTR.
A Stern Reformer drew his sword;
A huge. reSounding oath he made
To conquer Evils leering horde
And rout the DEVILS black brigade.
But as he started on his task
Old Satan met him on the road,
Disguised in purity's white mask
And clothed In virtues latest mode.
And Satan said: Good day, my
friend,
On what SO sternly are you bent?
What Is the great, ennobling end
"You seek with purpose SO intent? ?"
The Stern Reformer made reply:
Il seek the diabolic crew,
To smite the demons. hip and thigh.
And free the world-but who are
you'll"
And Satan answered.: II am Truth.
Join you in this great crusade
To vanquish wickedness uncouth.

"A very wicked book i've read:
I've seen very wicked play.
Go, comrade, seek them out" he
Sand bar them from the light OF

The Stern ReforTner sought them out
And found them-how the Devil
laughed
And then proclaimed with mighty
shout
That they were Satan's handicraft.
But when he raised his hue and cry
And called upon the world to prey,
The people rushed in droves to buy
The book and tickets for the play.
Old Satan rubbed his hands In glee
And sang diabolic song.
