The Farmers Prayer.

The following, known as "The
farmers Prayer" all over the Middle
West, originated in Garvin County,
Nebraska)
Lord, am only farmer. Thou
knowest that when wheat was so per
bushel and I had -four and sugar in
the house and cake and pie every
time l wanted it, was not satisfied
and voted for change.
Thou knowest that l wore a Hard
ing badge and was faithful in all things
to the G. o. P.
Even so Thou knowest that I be-
lieved in the dawn of the new day and
that wool would advance in price
that I would get So for wheat and 2C
Gel is for my pork.
Lord, two years have gone by never
to return and | am too poor to buy
the necessary Rockefeller for my
Henry; still wear Harding badge
but it's on the seat of my overalls.
o, Lord, I am thankful for one
thing, that Harding has been able to
make jackrabbits taste good in the
summer time. l pray Thee that Thor
wilt keep them replenished so that
shall not want.
/ am glad, o Lord, that Thou hast
prospered the railroads and that they
have been able to keep up theil
freight rates when my corn woulc
not pay the expenses of gathering
| and I pray Thee that Thou wilt con
tinue to uphold Mellon that he may
be able to collect for years interest or
the funds of his own bank account fol
it is righteous course.
Teach me to pray: Our Father who
art in Washington, Harding be his
name; his kingdom come, his will be
done even to beating the soldiers ou
of bonus. Give US each day oul
daily corn bread, that Wilson tried tc
make us eat for two years and Hard
ing had us eating in three months
and lead US not in temptation to vote
for a Democratic President, for Hard
ing got all the power and Mellon al
the money, Rockefeller all the oil ane
and me the patched trousers for evel
and ever. Amen.

on wheat chance to show what 1t
could do. All the time the tariff barons
were working with congress to put
through another tariff bill which
would enable the barons to collect
three and four times as much for their
goods as the people ought to pay.
And now the Senate of the United
States, working under the joint con-
ference influence to tariff trust valve
and the whip, has actually passed a
new tariff bill, drawn exactly like the
barons wanted it.
Something else is happening.
The farmer still has his emergency
tariff of 20 or more cents bushel on
wheat, but oddly enough-the actual
seeming effect of the emergency tariff
on wheat appears to have been to
drive the price of wheat down into
the cellar, instead of sending the price
sky high, as the tariff barons promis'
ed.
And this is what is happening right
now: the American farmer is sick and
is puking up his nasty bait, as fast as
he can. Never again will any farmer
with ordinary horse sense swallow an
other dose of wheat tariff bait. One
year ago, when he swallowed that
bait, he could get SLIGO bushel for
his wheat delivered in Chicago, To-
day the best Chicago will offer for
that tariff protected wheat is about a
dollar bushel, which means price
of 70 or Sc cents on Missouri farms.
When the writer was a little boy
one of his playful chums gave him a
little piece of brown soap, wrapped in
a paper SO that it looked just like a
butter. scotch caramel. He accepted
the fraudulent caramel smilingly, but
after he had bitten into the thing he
didn't smile for week.
The average Missouri farmer feels
about the wheat tariff just about the
way the writer felt about that soap
caramel.

Courtley obtained the only berth left

As to the Proposed Stock Law.

Editor Register-Mr. "West End
Farmer" has reminded me that we
have new issue to vote on this COM
ing election.
| hope all the farmers from the six
corners of the county will realize that
it will take better fence to keep a
hog or goat in than it does to keep
him out, and, furthermore, l would
like to ask that man or men that has
made payment on tractor, and ex-
poets to raise four bushels of wheat to
the acre, if he doesn't intend to SOW
clover on his land, and pasture some
hogs, or wouldn't it be fine thing to
have bunch of sheep to clean up the
weeds? But how the Heck are you
going to keep them inside with a
three wire fence9
own farm 100 acres square and
8 inches thick but have fence, one
that will turn stock from both sides.
In the eight years that | have lived
here have never been troubled with
stock. They stay out and I am satis-
fed. My hogs are getting fat on
acorns. I will soon give my goats a
vacation after their faithful summer Is
work clearing ground, turn them out
on the free range that God intended
for them, where they can eat the
shoe-mack and sassafras and play at
hide and seek among the rocks that
we're put there for that purpose.
No, no, brother, we don't want a
stock law. IF did / would get sky

cloud and get to heaven out of Iron
county and go where they have re-
strictions. would suggest Berkley

The Farmer Swallowed Soap Caramel.

|, The price of wheat a year ago on
the Chicago market stood around ST.
60 to $1.63 per bushel.
Something happened.
A lot of tariff barons had a plan to
catch fish without going near the
water. They would just throw their
bait out into the wheat fields. And so
they put through congress piece of
Legislation known as the emergency"
tariff. 1t levied tariff tax of 20 or 80
cents bushel on wheat. a
Did any fish come to bite the bait
which the tariff. barons threw out into
the American wheat fields?
Yes, the suckers came in droves and
grabbed the bait.
What happened then?
Same thing as always happens to a
fish on hook.
The tariff barons figured that if they
could get the American farmers to
swallow the tariff ,bait by giving them
a tariff on wheat--why then it would
be easy to keep the farmer quiet while
the barons were putting through con-
gress q tariff bill as high as cats
back. And for while the tariff bait
which the farmers had swallowed did
have aquieting effect, and many farm
ers were heard TO say that the tariff
was getting ready to do as much for
the farmer as it has done for the big
. manufacturers. But pretty soon the
hypnotizing effect Of the tariff bail
upon the farmer fish began to wear
off. One by one the farmers began
wiping the chaff out of their eyes long
enough to ask,

emergency tariff was going to put or

the farmers by telling them to wal

"Homely babies, especially those
with freckles and red hair, are adopt
ed, as rule, more quickly than pretty
babies" said the nurse in charge of
ward in one of Detroit's homes for
orphans. 'It seems that pretty babies,
relying upon their good looks, fail to
attract the attention of prospective
foster parents, while infants who were
neglected when good looks were passed
out, win their way into the hearts Of
childless couples through their happy
smiles and flashing eyes,"
