This means that the six million farm
ers Of the country got, last year. S.
600 100000 less income than two years
ago
Now do you begin to see any
Thing personally interesting in the fig
ures?
Do you begin TO see why trade IS dull2
! Why sales are small? Why collections
/ are slow? Why business is stagnant?
| Here Is the biggest single class of pro-
! ducers in the country, with their gross
! income cut abruptly from thirteen bill
( lions to five and three-quarter billions
] "a, cut Of more than half, Of almost
( two-thirds.
/ Do YOU expect them to buy as much
| with $5.75 now as they bought with SIS
two years ago?
/ If you do, you've got to sell them
! as much for 1915 now as you sold them
for S13 two years ago. That's fiat. Any
man who has brains enough to see that
five is less than thirteen can work It out
for himself 1t isn't a question of high
finance" but one Of simple addition and
subtraction.
Is any such corresponding cut being
made in other lines outside Of farm
products?
Is the landlord giving as much for
$5.75 as he charged S13 for in 1918?
are the clothing men selling as much
. in clothes for 1915 as they sold for SIS
in 1919?
Are the shoe men coming down in that
same ratio? Or the meat men? Or the
i groceTs? Or the lumber dealers2 Or the
coal men? Or the hardware men? Or tins
contra ctors? Or the laborers, whether on
railroads, i'm shops and factories, OF or
farms? We all know they are not.

I rather like to work cheap and sell
things cheap, if only the other fellow
will sell me things and work for me as

But 1 object and L think most other
farmers object to there being two mar

John Horne Tooke.

A renegade priest, who openly
scoffed at his calling and who led a
life, to say the least, which could not
be called respectable. would not be
well esteemed as a private citizen, not
w;thstanding his learning and the IN
genutty of his own generally admired
work, 'sThe Diversions Of Purley."
John Horne Tooke was born on June
25. 1736, and it was not so many years
after that he was looked upon as one
of the political pests of the era. 1t is
rather startling that all the public
questions on which his opinions we're
deemed mischievous have since been
settled in his favor.
Tooke was fined and imprisoned for
his opposition to EnglandS war with
her colonies. Twenty-three years after
his death reforms in the house Of COM
mons which he strongly advocated
were brought about. He was the hrsl
prominent EngliShman to proclaim the
advantages of free trade, and MS
biography may we'll be kept in view as
q monument to the futility Of intoler-

Rock Has Great History.

A report on the Dome OF the ROCK
of Jerusalem is shortly to be pub
lished and will be Of great interest to
the Mohammedan world. 1t may not
be generally known that this place Is
the third in sanctity Of all the sane
tuaries of Islam, and indeed for a
short period it actually formed the
Kibla toward which all Moslems
prostrated themselves in prayer.
Among the more important religious
associations of this rock we may men
tion that it was here that David and
Solomon were called to repentance,
and on account Of a vision David
chose this site for his temple. From
this same spot Mohammed ascended
to the Seventh Heaven after his night
tourney from Mecca, and lastly 1t IS
to be the scene of the Great Judg-
ment. The historical associations are
not less striking, and such famous
names as Omar, Aldelmalek, Saladin
and Suleiman are all connected with
the rock.-Zanzibar Gazette.

SHED LIGHT ON OLD TIMES
Interesting Official Documents Recent
Iy Found in the State House
at Phiadelp phia.

lncrusted with dust, yellow with
age, some nibbled By mice, a real
treasure trove o. documents has been
discovered by workmen restoring the
old state house, the last OF the group
OF Independence hall buildings 10 re
ceive the city's attention, says a press
dispatch from Philadelphia. The build
ing was the seat Of the city govern
nent until 1853.
One of the official papers relates
that Robert Wharton, once mayor OF
Philadelphia, addressing the select
council on December 10, 1914, de-
plored the increase of tipping
houses" especially those that sold
"ardent spirits to minors in one and
two cent quantities. Another record
showed that as late as May 9, 1916,
q resident of that city paid s23.5O as
tax for being allowed to carry q
watch.
In the "tippling house" address OF
Mayor Wharton he called the old-time
saloons "vile sinks"
G;. ling houses also came in for MS
attack. He declared that many such
houses were being operated in the
city openly for the destruction OF the
unwary, and lamented that there
were no laws against them. A refer
ence to tine Of 10 shilling for the
unlawful discharge Of firearms was
mentioned by Mayor Wharton.
He criticized the filthy condition OF
certain footways' and recommended
fixing the pavements on many city
streets.
A police flyer was also found near
where the old rogues' gallery used to
be, and in those days this was an
actual gallery around the police court
The flyer was dated about the middle
of the last century, and with it were
photographs Of prominent New York
merchant and society man who mao
run away with another mans wife
The names might surprise their de
scendants, now numbered among Ne"
york's "four hundred"
The documents date from 1I75 To
1858, the majority belonging to the
years of the last decade Of the Eight
eenth century and the first two dec
ades Of the Nineteenth.
