FRIENDS AND LAUGHTER
Brave dreams are flying where the purple
thickens,
l set my sail at dawn.
Under flushed rainbow colors flames and
quickens
Each peak, each ripping lawn.
/ see strange folk, walk unfamiliar highways.
Fashion my hours to ways that are not my
ways.
And after, spent with deck-watch, drenched
with foam,
To use-endeared tranquilities come home.
Friends hands to clasp, friends hearts to
test
By quiet firesides; that is best.
Each day / feel the urge and follow, follow
New lures from sun to sun;
And then the restless moments swallow,
swallow
My passion one by one.
! think my hands are full, and, 10, illusion
Stares in my face. l see earth's mad
; confusion,
And after-under twilight's purple dome
To aforementioned ministries come home.
A little house, little rest
With friends and laughter; that is best.

THE FARMERS FRIEND"

The FARMERS 'FklEND
ETH0DS to catch the farmer vote which
MI Governor Smith is employing are highly
AVA amusing and the democratic nominee,
having a sense of humor must when nobody IS
around enjoy hearty laugh all by himself. The
day never dawned when Tammany, or any OF Its
leaders, had atom of love for the farmer, for
the farmer has been accepted by Governor Smith
and his Tammany associates as distinctly repub-
lcan and definitely opposed to Tammany. Prac-
tcally every proposal introduced in the New
York Legislature during the past two decades by
republicans to help the farmer, has been fought
by Tammany, and led not infrequently by Smith,
with charges that the legislation was to keep,
quoting Tammany, the chick vote in line.
Since Governor Smith got the presidential
complex he has catered to the farm folks but his
interest has been so palpaby political it has reg
istered with few associated with agriculture. In
a recent interview the democratic candidate
stated what he had done for the farmer because
of his sympathetic concern for rural people.
The big scream was the key question. Gov
ernor haven't you been opposed by republicans
in your efforts to assist the farmer?" The
governors response: eyes, unfortunately have.
Then AL Smith, Alfred E. Smith and Governor
Smith, not forgetting Tammany Sachem Smith,,
grieved because politics played such part IN
governmental a11alfS. born ana nurSeu III tne
cradle of Tammany and, as he says, proud of it,
the governor sheds copious tears. because politi-
clans had endeavored to block his ambition, and
also that of Tammany, to create agricultural
Arcadia
There is not chance of the democratic can
ddate fooling the farmers. If the ridcule
heaped figuratvely, by Tammany the Shout
ders of the farmer were put into pile no wag
on would be large enough to carry it, any
tractor strong enough to pull it an inch. The
farmers in New York state onto Governor
Smith, but the trick he has up his sleeve is to
get interviews throughout the west and other
sections where his record and that of Tammany

UNCLE WIGGILY AND THE
OLD TOAD

Not so very many years ago but
what YOU could easily remember if
YOU tried. there lived in nice, cosy
hole house under stone, an Old
Toad gentleman. The Old Toad was
lumpy and fat. he was covered with
warts and to look at him YOU would
not think him very smart, clever or
pretty. But his wife said;
"Old Toad, YOU are Just wonder
ful! " Which shows that she knew
the right thing to say.
Now though he was aged and
lumpy and fat and covered with
warts. Old Toad could do three
things very well indeed. He could
Jump. he could croak very loudly
and he could catch flies with his
long, sticky tongue which, after all,
are the three things IN this world
that a toad most needs to do.
Old Toad lived under the stone
not far from Uncle Wiggily 5 hol-
low stump bungalow and he and the
rabbit gentleman were great
friends. So every morning when he
jumped past where Old Toad was
sitting out in front Of his hole
house. Mr.. Longears would twinkle
his pink nose and ask:
How are YOU today. Old Toad? -
"Oh. 'm fine, - Old Toad would
answer. "Though l am lumpv and
covered with warts ! can croak, hop
about and catch flies with my long,
sticky tongue.
"Good for you!" Uncle Wiggily
would say and then he would skip
off to have an adventure
