To the Editor o. The Times
Very much to my surprise I read ir
The Times what was quoted to be
from man Of intelligence who has
the inspiration to be Governor.
The headline read, SHANK Against
Bus Ordinance
God knows we citizens that depend
On the street car service need some
thing we car depend on. Let Lew
discard his fivver for a while and
depend solely on the street cars, and
he would sell more space to the
Standard Oil Company for filing
stations.
Let's have bus service and save
shoe leather from walking due to
broken down car service.

Sass and Mrs. Anna Hopf. sisters,
near Lakeside, o.
This stroke Of i'll fortune, instead
of proving their financial ruin. as
they expected it would, really set
them on the road to financial indie
pendence.
Forced to do something to keep
the wolf from the door, the sisters
began an experiment with a little
farm market in their front yard. They
used a small table to display the
produce. and placed their children in
charge.
Table to Shop
They expected a small patronage
from passing motorists, but little did
they dream they would attract the
customers that soon started to flock
to their roadside mart.
The result was so satisfactory that
next season they built a ten-foot
counter to replace the table and
erected a lar~e bulletin board
At the end of the second year they
had paid off all Of the obligations
against the farm. Now they have a
regular shop known as Pomona
Shoppe." in keeping with the name
Of their farm, Pomona Acres"
They net in a single summer as
much profit as the average town gro
oery store makes in a year
The experience Of these sisters is
typical of that of tens of thousands
Of farmers the country over. The
automobile Is responsible. It is re-
versing the old plan whereby the
farmer brought his goods to the mar
ket. Now the consumer comes to the
farmer.

Safety Slogans

TO she Editor Of The Times
Anent the splendid Safety Week
efforts by the authorities to impress
upon motorists and pedestrians the
necessity for exercising caution to
avoid accidents-and which should
bring about the results desired-will
one hundredth OF the persons directly
interested think Of it even this day,
despite all the admonitons heralded.
Now in reference to the slogans,
etc, what do they amount to? Just
kindly advice, and disregarded. In
stead Of good advice, why don't the
papers go after them for thoughtless-
ness and disregard. Give something
like that often seen in public places.
i.e. IF you spit on the floor at home,

The most severe hail, rain and

Forty tons Of hay, 200 bushels of
wheat and fifty bushels of oats
were consumed, and all Of the farm
machinery lost.
This was the third time the barn
on this farm has been burned,
lightning each time being the cause.
