 Before we were using gasoline oats prices averaged about 62 cents lower than V neat" Mr. McDougal said. During the last few years oats prices have averaged 65 cents lower than wheat. Our oats crop is usually about one billion bushels. This three cent drop means SS0.0OO,OOO annual loss to American farmers"
 The same amount of loss might also be estimated for hay, he said because while the hay crop is as large as ever the demand is much less

Clothes are made to play in and when he them
He wonders when grumbe what the fuss is all about

Care and strife and trial haven't to cloud the sum-
His legs weary and the times he hears sigh
And he sees that troubled it is plain he wonders

Mischevous and rogsh and his eyes with mrth ablaze
But what shoes and stockings and the things must
