Woe In the West

A deadly blight is sweeping
along the Western Slope, and
men give way to weeping and
say farewell to hope. And
heartsick wives and daughters
beneath those azure skies look
out upon the waters with hard
and stony eyes. The children,
they are wailing, their little
bosoms sore. while in the dust
they're trailing the toys they
use to more. There's moaning
in the cabin, there's grooming in
the hall; the futures bleak and
drab in the eyes of one and all.
The daughters of affection are
crouched beneath the stars, and
in the choicest diction they cuss
their stranded cars. The tourist
shakes his talon at heaven with
a snort, for when he'd buy gal
lon he only gets quart. In
vain the plute is waving MS Wad
of good long green, and futile is
his raving-he can't get gaso-
line. mo gasp The sign is
hanging from stations every
where, with travellers harangu-
ing the dealers in despair. Talk
not of grief or sorrow, of trou-
bles you have seen, till you can't
buy or borrow a quart of gaso-
line! Talk not of fortunes
cruel, oh, vain and pihaing man,
till You can't buy the fuel to
push your big sedan! Speak not
to me of anguish, of pain of any
sort, until you wait and languish
two days to get a quart!

cHEERIO! RAIs1NS COMING
But Mysterious Popularity almost
Wrecked Crop.

Raisin growers of Malaga, Spain,
are looking for a continuation of the
great demand for raisins in the
United States. according to the De-
partment of Agriculture.
Nearly 100000 pounds of raisins
were exported from Malaga to the
United States during the first six
months of 1920. a quantity that ex.
ceeds the total raisin exports from
that port for the seven-year period
1913 to 1919, according to the bureau
of markets of the department.
Practically the entire 1919 Malaga
raisin stocks have been exhausted
and there are no stocks on hand. The
new crop will appear on the marke,
between August 20 and 25.
So be of good cheer, all you raisir
. users. The American consul report:
that there is a prospect of increased
production.
