Doing Better.

The doctor Of divinity. he preached

He talked to us of charity as being
something grand, virtue that's a
rarity. in this wealth-maddened land.
I went home feeling wonderful, my
bosom full of peace; my course of
life is blunderful," I muttered to my
niece; that sermon, great yet terrible,
has shown me where I'm wrong. and
after this. dear Sarah Belle, I'll help
the world along. I'll help the sick
and penniless, who for refreshments
pant, I'll give my roll. not any less"
| whispered to my aunt. II see I've
acted stingily," 1 murmured to my
but I'll do better now. That doctor
Of divinity has made me see the light
and in my own vicinity I'll try to
make things bright. I'll be a good
Samaritan to every skate alive. and
If cannot spare a ten, I'll surely
dig up f1ve." I thought they would
applaud me then. my wife and aunt
and niece: they started in to prod me
then, and each one spoke her piece.
BE just before you're generous" the
ladies spoke as one; supply with
extra tenner us, if you have that
much mon. We're needing new
habiliments, we're needing slippers
pink. our hats are merely filaments,
our shoes are on the blink. There
Is a whole blamed country full Of
hoboes needing change; your talk of
being bountiful sounds rather sad and
strange. We're out Of coal bitumi-
nous, we're out of spuds and pies;
your project Is not luminous, it isn't
sane or wise" And thus the poor are
wandering just as they were before,
while aunt and nice are squandering
my substance at the store So noble
plans go glimmering before the facts
of life, while we buy garments SHIN

Another farm relief bill will he Of
fered at the next session of Congress
by Senator Fess, Republican, Ohio,
whose Coolidge suppored relief plan
was rejected last Spring.
Senator Fess said today his new pro-
posal would be mon partisan.
THE difficulty with farm leeisla-
tion has been that the Democrats
and the Republicans have been un-
able to agree on the tariff" he said.
THE measure that we will offer at
the next session will be designed
with the idea of compromising these
differences. so that farm bill can be
enacted.
The agriculturistS of the West
have the erroneous idea that the
tariff works against them. Our plan
will permit the farmers to orgariZe,
lust as labor has done, and turn the
farm produce market from a buyers
market to a sellers market. If the
farmers can control their market
through cooperation their troubles
will be over"
