THE HSPOCRITE
By John j. Joiianscn


J honestly feel sncaking,
For something that ! did;
I find my eyes are leaking
Tear drops beneath the lid;
And yet naught else could I have
done
Unless | had pulled out a gun,
Had shot him on the spot and run,
And in the mountains hid
Twas at the bank he told me,
The fore part Of this week;
He had to grab and hold me
The news made me so weak.
Twas not that my account was low,
No simple thing like that, oh no!
The news was dreadful; so much SO
Twas long ere ! could speak
Twas this: My old friend, Harry,
Told me he planned to wed;
The girl and he would marry
That Saturday, he said
A lypocTite, I shook his hand;
| saw his chest with pride expand,
And all the time, you understand,
Id rather see him dead!

Raise Sugar Beets Every Year

Beets are most profitable when they grown
each year part of your crop rotation.
Don't leave them out of your program because the
past year was bad season, because the price of
other crop should happen to be high at this time
Put some of your best land in beets each season.
Fertilize much possible
Plan to feed some kind of livestock-dai1y cows
sheep cattle hogs. You should have trouble to
get the stock if you have the feed.
The tops from one ton of beets, with very little
hay, will fatten one lamb.
