THE FARMERS PRAYER

The following, known as "The
Farmers Prayer all over the Middle
West, originated in Garvin county,
Nebraska:
Lord, | am only q farmer. Thou
knowest that when wheat was 81 per
bushel and had -four and sugar in
the house and cake and pie every time
| wanted it, ] was not satisfied and
voted for b change,
Thou knowest that | wore a Hard
ing badge and was faithful in all
things to the G. O. P.
Even SO Thou knowest that be-
leved in the dawn of the new day
and that wool would advance in price,
that | would get SO for wheat and 20
cents for my pork
Lord, two years have gone by new
or to return and am too poor to buy
the necessary Rockefeller for my
Henry; still wear the harding badge,
but it's on the seat of my overalls.
O, Lord, am thankful for one
thing, that Harding has been able to
make jackrabbits taste good in the
summer time. | pray Thee that Thou
wilt keep them replenished SO that !
shall not want.
am glad, 0, Lord, that Thou hast
prospered the railroads and that they
have been able to keep up their
freight rates when my corn would
not pay the expenses of gathering,
and pray Thee that Thou wilt con-
tinue to uphold Mellon that he may
be able to collect for years interest
on the funds of his own bank account
for 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 out
of bonus. Give us each day our
daily corn bread, that Wilson tried to
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
Harding got all the power and Mellon
all the money, Rockefeller all the oil
and me the patched trousers for ever
and ever. Amen.
The Constitution follows the flag,
And likewise follows the fiagon;
No longer at sea may we work up
Gag,
For ships just "wateF-wagon."
