FOR.

When the American people el9c-
ted the present national adminis-
tration they got exactly what they
decided they wanted, Samuel Com
pers told a large crowd at a Labor
Day celebration at Baltimore.
Before that election" he said,
II issued a statement in which [
stated that were involved. so far as
labor was concerned and l said that
that the people would get what
they voted for. They made their
choice between the candidates and
parties and they have got what
they decided upon.
"a year ago today there was
scarcely a handful of men in this
country out of employment. Now
there are more than five million out
of work Who will you blame
liWill you blame the shadowy indie
finite thing of which you know
nothing. or will you hold RESPONSE

1t is laid by an as yet undetermined
insect on the leaves of oak trees.
Masses of these eggs cling to the
under side of the leaf, and as they
advance toward maturity they drop
to the ground and dance about.

cracking sound may be heard, like the
splitting of electric sparks. The shell
contains a tiny grub, working for re-

In many towns collections of the

That night for dinner, five people
sat about the Pendlehaven table. Reg.

Cauley was opposite Doctor John.
Katherine, silent and morose, was at
her own place. She had heard her
mothers version of the afternoons
happening in amazement and anger,

hear Cousin John tell the tale to
Philip.

"She wouldn't have been much use

his answer.

TIFT0N, Dec. IA few days ago
this service CARED a news item
telling how j. w. Lang, an Omega
man, was finding a market for farm
products for his customers. Mr..

up a profitable pail-order business by
which it has been able to handle all
the butter, eggs and large quantity
of pecans offered. These are sent BY

A market for pork has been provid-
ed in an unusual manner. The hogs
are ground up into sausage, hams and
all, and these sold to iobbers or dr.
rect to consumers by parcel post.
The demand sometimes reaches 8 to
10 hogs day, and prices obtained
are higher than those quoted by the
packers. Many recorders prove that
the people like a good article,
