It's been long time since we talked to you
through these columns. Not that we didn't have
anything to say or sell, we've been so durn busy,
and like unto the farmers, we've felt KIND OF down
in the mouth, sort of Jonah like, over the crop
prospects, prices of wheat this fall e. t. c. But ike
Jonah, We'll come out alright But, speaking
frankly we are not banking very much on Good
ing's wheat tariff law or the Capper- Tincher law
to effect the price of wheat, and nobody else does
either for that matter. The politicians nave
beon vindicated but the farmers have been fooled
again Legislation is futile in the face OF pollu-
cal and economic conditions in Europe. Our IN
dustries are supplying markets formerly supphed
by Europe, and Europe has ceased buying our raw
products and food stuffs. It's double edged
sword that cuts both ways, reducing the price OF
what the farmer has to sell and increasing price OF
commodity he has to buy. For some people tnls
condition is very much appreciated and they are
not very anxious for a change. But so long as
Europe wants to fry in its own fat we are almost
helpless. The governments of Europe are
morally bankrupt and are holding onto their war
loot like lean tick to niggers skln Funny that
this out. Yes, why don't they come here and con-
suit u.s. Our political advice like our Building
Doctors prescriptions are free for the asking. But
there is one thing upon which all the congresslon-
al solons are agreel upon their return and that is
to keep hands off Europe. We could have told
them that too But what's the use? If our friends
here at home will not take our poiticNl advice how
can we expect Hi. Jchrson nd Brookhardt to take
it. Oh no. were not discouraged DuC we can't
keen on indefinitely palaverng this political dope,
paying the editor much per inch for it.. But its
been so long since we have given the world and our
friends some idea Of where the world stands that
thought it about time to open up. 1t will also
give some of our friends an opportunity to again
get their bearing, for some of them never know
just where they are at until they know where we
stand Then they are ready to take the other
horn. There is just one thing upon which all are
agreed and that is, that this is pretty good place
to get Building Prescriptions
Now for little propaganda of our own.
Wherever you find a Propagander there is also a
Propagoose The propagoose in this instance is
some 400 to 500 cords of slabwood. We have the
finest slab wood this year we ever had and that is
saying great deal considering what we have said
in former years. This year our lumber was all
sawn y and inches thick ard the edgngs which
are cult into wood is free from the light trashy
stuff that is unavoidable when saving one inch
lumber as in former years. Alkalie Ike run the
scissors this year and its all cut even length Fits
the stove like paper on the wall. Housewives that
have tried it cry for it like children for Castoria.
Like Tarlac it is invigorating, puts Pep into your
stove, comes out like ribbon, lies flat on the
crates, is soft but satisfying end the heat fingers.
In the words of Alkslie Ike, ut is the burnenest,
slabenest slab wood ever sawed" Eventually,
why not now?.
