Gone to ..De Ducks

Dubuque, Iowa-De Ducks got
all the farmers money that he had
received when he sold his corn re-
Gently, and, trying to explain to a
local banker the necessity of loan
to tide him over a lean period, the
niceties of market problems as
faced by the farmers now, were
outlined.
"But," said the banker, "I don't
understand why you should want
to borrow money when you have
just shipped your corn. What did
you no with the money!"
"De ducks got it," replied the
farmer.
"What do you mean by de
ducks?"
WELL" explained the farme r
Il shipped the car to market and
sold it for So cents. They deduck
freight, that left 81 cents; de-
duck one cent commission, that
left 80 cents; deduck elevator
charges, that left q cents; deduck
husking, that left Is cents; deduck
hauling, that left S cents; deduck
the hired mans wages from that
and you are q darned sight better
farmer than l am if you can find
anything left"

Who Killed Cock Robin?''

The farmer killed him, because
that "confound" robin would steal
his cherries. "I've caught him in
my strawberry bed too," said the
angry farmer, and I'll shoot every
one of the thieving fellows l get a
chance at"
We didn't have any of the poor
dead things he had killed, or we
would have shown him the contents
OF their stomachs. Had he seen
the grubs and bugs, the cutworms,
the caterpillars, the grasshoppers
and the score and more of other
foes of his garden, orchard and farm
that these poor dead robins which
ne had shot had been destroying,
how small would have seemed the
board bill that they owed him for a
few cherries and berries. Indeed,
the bit Of fruit they had taken was
just an occasional dessert after an
abundant meal of bugs and grubs.
The birds he shot are dead. The
farmer lives we hope, wiser, if a
sadder man.

Farm Bureau Doings
at Iowa State Fair

Monday, August goth, will be
Farm Bureau Day at the State
Fair. Such is the official an
nouncement by the fair manage
ment, cooperating with Fedora
ton officials, and the program for
that day is being shaped with
especial regard to the interests and
development Of the organization.
SO far as the Federation's share
in the day is concerned plans for
entertainment are not yet sufi-
GENTLY matured for publication.
But they are we'll under way and
will be announced at an early
date. Speakers of national prom
inence will be secured and every-
thing possible be done to make the
occasion a noteworthy one. The
state fair management will erect a
big tent near the Agricultural
Building which is centrally located
and in which the Federation will
maintain headquarters throughout
the fair, and provide a band for
the day.
In this connection it might also
be stated that the fair manage
ment has set It aside large tract in
the most desirable part of the
camp grounds for the use of Farm
Bureau members, in order that all
who belong to the organization
may be together. 1t is not only
convenient to the tent where the
big meetings will be held, but all
other attractions of interest.

The Luckless Fisherman

They laughed when 1 came home
last night
And said / didn't get a bite.
They snickered and they ioked
at me,
And all the fellows asked to see
The ones I'd caught. ''Ohow
said they,
He's been out fishing all this day
An hasn't caught single thing,
He never got a fish to string"
They laughed at me, but all their
jeers + 49,
Travelled no further than my ears
Twas true I'd fshed all day
without "
Sharing single speckled trout,
But what of that? I'd had a day
That | could loaf and dream away ),
I'd chummed with birds and
AAACAOAy GlEcS
And been as carefree as the breeze,
I'd rested whereso'er I'd willed,
To me the hum of trade was
stilled,
I'd let my thoughts go wandering
To where life's happier glories are;
I'd whistled like boy once more,
And even stretched full length on
shore
To watch the white clouds sail the
blue
The very way / used to do.
They laughed when | came home
at night,
And said didn't get bite.
They seemed to think my luck
was bad.
They couldn't guess the fun I'd
had
And couldn't know that all that
day
I'd been a free man, blithe and
gay,
And though Of fish I'd landed none
I'D caught the joys for which l
gone.

Occasionally persons faith in hu-

generally revives when the attention
is drawn to an incident such as the
following. A short time ago a certain
young lady was shopping at the Fair
Store. She purchased quite large
bill of goods and paid for the same
Yesterday she returned, and seeing
Mr.. Calhoun told him that she had re-
turned to give back $500 which she
had been overpaid in making change
at the time of her previous visit. 1t
seems that the clerk who had waited
on her had given her $500 too much
change at the time Of her former visit
and she said that, as Mr.. Olson was
giving very good value for the money
spent in his store, and as she under
stood he was a very good and honest
business man, she wished to return
the money, knowing as she did that it
was an error. Mr.. Olson appreciates
her kindness in this matter.

John Halverson put local item j"
our paper the other day stating tha
he had supply of doll blankets to
give to little girls in the city. Even
though most people claim that the old
sheet isn't worth reading and they
never pay any attention to it, Mr.
Halverson says the run on doll blank
cts was so strong the next morning
that they were gone in no time: Mr.
Halverson was unable to supply all
the girls who came in for these blank
cts but says he is getting fresh sup
ply in before Christmas so that none
of his little friends will be missed
The giving Of doll blankets is an an,
nual affair with Mr.. Halverson and
makes him solid with the little girls
of the city.
