RISING FARM PRICES

There is every reason to believe that
prospects are Frightening for the Amer
lean farmer He is about to be relieved
from worry over his farm mortgage and
interest payments.
The government has evidently found
a way to aid him. He is to have financial
assistance in moving his crops and raising
his products. He is to share in all the
measures provided for his particular bene-
fit and also in the rapidly oncoming pros
nerity of the country in general
The brewers will soon be in the mar
ket for large quantity of his corn and
this will increase the market price of that
cereal grain. The demand for his barley
will be greater than the amount he can
The increase in the market price of his
corn will increase the market price of his
hogs and poultry. The price of his wheat
is bound to go along with the prices of his
other grains.
Altogether the outlook for the Amer
lean farmer is brighter than it has been
for many day.
1t is to be hoped that the American
farmer will remember his tropblous days
and will not repeat his acts of a dozen or
more years ago. when he insisted on his
pound of flesh. He should remember the
days when he forced the price of his corn
to $500 per bushel, gouging the people
who were compelled to pay his price. At
that time he forced the costs of everything
skyward. His recent troubles can probably
be traced back to his own original acts.
We want the American farmer to pros
per and we want American labor to pros
per. Only with prosperity for the great
mass Of our people can all the people Of
the nation prosper.

ORIGIN OF 'DIxIE"

An interesting account of how the
south came to be known as Dixie" is given
on the authority of Fred w. Thompson, q
Richmond banker, who says the term was
first applied to money issued by New
Orleans bank before the Civil War, prin-
cipally in $40 bills.
These bills, because of the large
French-speaking population of Louisiana,
were printed in French on one side and in
English on the other. On the French side
the word dix. meaning ten, was quite
prominent, and the Americans got to call
ing the bills 'dixies.
From that Louisiana came to be known
as the land of the dixies, or Dixie Land.
Then Dan Emmett, Northern minstrel,
got hold of the idea and composed the song
Dixie" for show performing in New
York. The term Dixie soon came to be APP
piled to the entire south.
And there you are--if Mr.. Thompson
il right.

It was! He had really
thought that she was Mrs. jimmy
Judson, gone abroad! They had
not told him the exact hour Of
her sailing, either on the tele'
phone (when he had called her
up) or at the information desk
Of the Hotel Luxor.
"It's q scream. He's crazy
about you. But why on earth
didn't you let him get in touch
with you after?"
Nollie had flushed scarlet.
She felt a criminal. At best,
she'd been an impostor.
But jimmy Judson took the
whole thing as a joke. Il

It's for you Of course, although
it was addressed to me. I didn't
understand that right away un-
til I got a note from my old
friend, Mr.. Hiram"
She kept Nollie in suspense,
chattering like an amiable par
rot.

don't think he'll break with
Madeleine Galbraith, because in
his own way he's ambitious.
You're a nice child. You could
have made a lot Of trouble be-
tween them, if you'd happened
to be vindictive."
"You mean he doesn't love
her, then?" asked Nollie.
Love? What's love? A lot
of moonshine" commented the
widow, cynically.
Then suddenly she sat up in
her chair: "Great guns! I'd al
most forgotten THE LETTER."

to an open trunk. She rum
mayed among her papers.

Truly, I didn't encourage
him. It was all a surprise"
Nollie broke off, afraid she had
said too much.
"So-he did try to make love
to you?"
Well, what was the use Of
hiding anything from this kind
inquiSitive woman?
Sooner or later she'd hear a
distorted version, anyhow. And,
after all, it was she who had
given Nollie the letter Of intro
duction to the firm.
