Mr.. Emerson Was Right
CBy Roland T. Patten)

(By Roland T. Patten)
In our issue of September 25th, S.
f. Emerson comments on the Battle
Hymn of the Republic" Julia Ward
Howe's famous poem. He was led
to do this upon comment of my own
published several weeks since. In
arranging that comment ! depended
too much upon memory and it was
somewhat misleading. Mr.. Emerson
is correct in his statement that Mrs.
Howe received her inspiration from a
Review which she attended near the
city of Washington.
The story is told by Mrs. Howe her
self in her biography, entitled rem
iniscences' published by Houghlin,
Mifflin & Company. 1t appears on
page 273 of that volume. II is to be
found in the Skowhegan Public Lii

Want to Swap?

Centuries before money came into use barter was
the rule People have always "swapped' articles and
services Trading one thing for another without the
use of cash to complete the details popular today
as it ever was There are hundreds of Reporter read
ers having articles which they wish to dispose of and
there are as many just hankering for these very
things Thus, it would seem an Exchange" column
will fill long felt want being not only useful but
greatly entertaining If everyone enters into the
proper spirit of this new undertaking make it
the most interesting department in Everybody's Col
umn To effect good start and prove the value of
exchange ads we shall publish them FREE until
further notice. Perhaps you will want to swap your
auto for a smaller larger car; wood stove for one
that uses coal; driving horse for a work horse;
wagon foH a sleigh, village property for farm;
poultry and cattle for different Breeds shot gun for
rifle household goods, farm equipment machinery, etc.
for other items. These only few suggestions.
Others will readily occur to you. Do your part to
make the Exchange" interesting, Send us two

For the past six or eight weeks no
rain has fallen in this section of the
Ozarks, constituting one of the longest
fall drouths known here in a good
many years. Stock water is scarce
out in the hills, many creeks and
springs having dried up entirely. Rain
is badly needed for fall pastures and
fall plowing. However, the condition
is ideal for gathering corn and cotton.
ana farmers are rapidly getting these
crops out Of the fields. As the droutb

that much less feed will have to be
