M@N rich Of their kind,

health of good measure,
And diversified changes to FIJI up

of money,
With one round of pleasure from

! want nanght but gladness, with NO
touch of sadness,
do not like darkness, SO please
give. me light.
I do not like weather that's dark and
that's gloomy,
like the bright sunshine that
CLOVIS and that shines,
l care not for sorrow, so never shall
borrow
But pass it by quickly and leave
it behind.
! do mot like burdens, those heavy
and leaden,
30 please keep tnem ON me ana
don't weigh me down.
! want to look smiling, while time
beguiling,
So don't send me worries, which
make scowls and frowns.
Give me true homage with respect
from all people,
No matter how far I shall fall
from true grace,
And make every paper, though
caught in same caper,
To be taken unquestioned, per
value Of face.
So give me these few things, these
few things I've mentioned,
do not want much, as you know
and can see,
So old Father Time, sir, be gentle
and kind. sir,
And give these few gifts, e You
please, sir to me.

had drifted in the valley, UNI

here, part of the chimney there, and
corner of the porch in another place.
A pathway had been shoveled from
the door about twenty-five feet from
the house through from eight to ten
feet Of snow, varying in places. The
inside of this log house consisted Of
two rooms, huge fireplace, a man and
his collie dog, plus few pieces of fur
niture. The dog looked to be a cross
between a st. Bernard and a collie.
Just at present his big brown eyes
were pinned upon his master, who was
fixing his supper. His master. tall,

the Canadian wOodsman's name, pulled
on his pipe with vigor, sending little
curls into the air until he and Scotty
were enveloped in a cloud of smoke.

REVIEW OF TARIFF
ON CATTLE ASKED
Commission Receives Re.
quest From Farm Fedora
tion for Stock Feeders.

Applications for a review of the
tie have been filed with the. Tariff
Commission in the interest OF the
cattle feeders in the United States
who depend in part upon the supply
or Canadian cattle. Briefs were fled
by the American Farm Bureau Fed
GRAFTON. the Pennsylvania Federation
and the Illinois Agricultural Associa-
ton. The last two urged that the
duties on these classes Of cattle be
reduced the full SO per cent allowable
under the flexible provisions of the
tariff law.
See Effect on Prices.
The Farm Bureau Federation's brief
declared that the effect of the duties
mad been to increase the spread be-
tween prices in Canada and the
United States by forcing the formers
prices downward. No mention was
made OF duties ON other classes of
live stock. but the rates applying to
stocker and feeder cattle were de-
scrtbed as ian absurdity, If not
monstrosity." Canadian authorities.
according to the brief. calculate that
tne tarin has reduced their cattle
values about SIS head.
Alleges Injury to Farmers.
1t was contended by the Farm Bu-
reau Federation that farmers, espe-
cially those in the corn belt, had been
greatly injured by the tariff on the
classes or cattle throughout which
they convert the products of their
helds into meat. AS result of the
tarin rates, the brief said. the supply
OF stockers and feeders-the raw ma
terial for the corn farmer-has been
curtaiied and consequently the de-
mand for that class of live stock is
In excess of the supply.
