THE KNOCKERS PRAYER

Lord: Please don't let this town

years, and during that time / have
fought every public improvement.
have knocked everything and every
body. No firm or individual has es-
tablished a business here without my
doing all | could to put them out of
business. I've lied about them and
would have stolen from them if [ had
had the courage. I've done all
could to keep this town from grow
ing, and never have spoken a good
word for it. ! have put ashes on the
children's slide and have made the
boys stop playing baseball on my
vacant lots. Whenever l sow anyone
prospecting or enjoying himself, /
started reform to kill business or
spoil the fun. | don't want the young
people to stay here and will do all
can by law and ordinance to drive
them away to the white lights of the
cities. The dance halls, bowling
alleys and other places of amusement
get my goat. | have always advised
the people to take the train and go to
the cities to do their shopping or else
send to the mail order houses for
their goods, telling them they could
buy cheaper than at home. 1t pains
me, oh Lord, to see that in spite of all
my knocking this town is beginning
to grow, and the worst Of ali has
happened, have been asked to put
sidewalk in front of my house. and
now they are az work put ing up
street lights and improving the
streets. Oh Lord, this IS more than
| can bear. 1t is costing me money,
although | made all my money here,
and then, too, more people are COM
ing to town every year and il is
rapidly increasing in population. This
is causing me to lose some Of my
pull Oh dear Lord, beg and lni-
plore Thee to keep it at standstiil,
that may continue to be
"Chief Calamity Howler."
Such is the knockers prayer. If
the shoe fits, put it on, otherwise get
in line and boost for your home
town.

sold which is not produced accord
ing to market standards and then
put up in a form to which the trade
is accustomed. This probably ac-
counts for your not having greater
success in the sale of such surplus

The market for cattle and hogs
has been relatively low, but there is
improvement in sight along both
lines. The supply Of meat animals is
decidedly low at this time.
The desirability Of purchasing the
fertilizer in question depends upon
whether the plant food it contains

a point which a capable chemist can
determine for you. No doubt the

Quinn Lays Cornerstone
OF American Legion
Home in Orlando, Fla.

ORLANDON, Fla, Feb. 29.-The
cornerstone of the new American
Legion home here was laid Thursday
morning by National Commander
John r. Quinn. Several hundred
members and friends Of the legion,
city officials and gold-star moth
ers attended the ceremonies.
1.-The legion is founded and based
upon the ideals for which our boys
went to fight in 1917 and 1913"
said Mr.. Quinn. 1--WE fought that
war to end all wars, and hope we
did not fight in vain.
THE spirit Of the legionnaire
shedding tears because of the fact
that he was not wounded more Sc
riously in the defense of his flag is
typical of the entire organization.
The teaching Of Americanism is the
prime motive of the gauization,
and you may be sure 1t will never
be a detriment to the community.
Let the legion fight to the end
that there may never be another
such war as was fought in 1917 and
1918, and to make this a better place
to live in and have our children
live in, then the legion will not have
existed in vain"
Commander Quinn f1ayed the tao
tics of the Literary Digest for their
so-called referendum on the Mellon
tax cut, in his speech to city and
county officials, professional bust
ness men, presidents of civic and
war organizations, and members Of
the legion at a luncheon at the San
Juan hotel at noon.

Samuel of this; but when he was

Samuel never saw Saul again in life.
